Philadelphia Phillies vs Chicago White Sox MLB Preview
The Phillies are favorites over the White Sox in today’s matchup and are drawing plenty of attention from bettors.
In the player prop market, backing Bryce Harper to hit a home run might appear to be the popular and flashy choice on paper.
However, there's more value in a different approach: betting on Harper to instead record a double.
Using refined PRO Projections, our data analyzes player performance and betting markets to find edges that others may overlook.
According to our data, Harper is statistically more likely to hit a double than a home run in today’s game.
Specifically, PRO Projections forecast Harper to record 0.33 doubles in this matchup, which represents a 9.1% advantage compared to BetMGM’s +425 odds on a Harper double.
This makes the bet one of the more attractive player prop opportunities on the board today in general.
Although Harper is widely recognized for his power, his doubles tally this season (23) actually surpasses his home run total (15), underlining his ability to find gaps and drive the ball for extra bases without always clearing the fence.
He's on pace to finish with more doubles than homers now in five straight seasons, and we'll take a stab at +425 odds for Wednesday at Rate Field.
