Sundays are now usually reserved for betting on the NFL, but forgetting about betting on baseball is a mistake. There is a full schedule of MLB games set to take place on Sunday, September 18th, and you can find some great betting options.
Not only can you bet on the outcome of each game, but you can also look at player prop betting options. With that in mind, here are five of the best MLB player prop picks to make.
Gerrit Cole Under 8.5 Strikeouts (-125)
The New York Yankees are in Milwaukee to face the Brewers, and it’s an important series for each team. New York is trying to get the number one seed in the AL, while the Brewers are trying to sneak into the playoffs.
Gerrit Cole is having another great season for the Yankees, and he has been doing it by racking up the strikeouts. Things won’t come as easy for Cole in this game, and taking the under 8.5 strikeouts is a great bet to make.
Nolan Arenado to Record RBI (-105)
The St. Louis Cardinals have taken over the NL Central Division race, and they have done it with offense. Nolan Arenado is having a monster season for the Cardinals, and he continues to pound the baseball at home.
There are a number of ways to go when betting on the St. Louis Cardinals on offense and some great options for Arenado as well. Look for the slugger to record an RBI in this one with good odds at -105.
Mike Trout to Record 3+ Total Bases (+165)
It has been another lost MLB season for the Los Angeles Angels, and things haven’t exactly gotten better as the MLB season has moved on. Despite having Mike Trout and Shohei Ohtani, this team has continued to struggle to win games.
Trout has once again dealt with injuries this season, but he has really started to turn it on of late. The former MLB MVP has been on a tear at the plate, and betting on him to record at least three total bases with odds of +165 is the way to go in this one.
Yu Darvish Over 6.5 Strikeouts (+108)
The San Diego Padres are in desperate need of a win when they face the Arizona Diamondbacks on Sunday. San Diego is trying to claim a Wild Card spot in the National League, and things haven’t been going well up to this point.
Yu Darvish takes the mound on Sunday, and he is having another great season with a record of 14-7. Look for Darvish to be dominant in this one as he records at least seven strikeouts (+108) to pick up a win.
Freddie Freeman to Record a Run (-115)
The Los Angeles Dodgers just continue to rack up the wins as they are looking to sweep the San Francisco Giants on Sunday night. Los Angeles is the first team to 100 wins this season, and they are doing it with a terrific offense.
There are a number of ways to bet on the Dodgers, but targeting Freddie Freeman is the best option on Sunday night. Look for Freeman to record a run at -115 to get the offense going for his team.
