MLB Player Props Today for Monday: Will Smith, Dodgers OVER 1.5 Hits + Runs + RBIs (-140)

Will Smith has thrived in his batter vs pitcher matchup against Sandy Alcantara, going 6-14 (.429) with a double and two RBI.

Alcantara has really struggled this season, and he just allowed 7 earned runs on 7 hits across just 2.2 inning pitched against the Los Angeles Dodgers in his last outing.

He now owns a bloated ERA at 8.31 with a WHIP sitting at 1.65. Obviously, Smith isn’t the only Dodger slugger to have success against Alcantara as they have hit .321 against him collectively with 8 home runs across 140 at-bats.

Smith has covered this HRR line in 63% of his games this season including 3 of his last 4 games and he went 3-9 with a double & a couple of RBIs in a weekend series in Atlanta.

He is projected to bat 5th in the Dodgers’ lineup behind plenty of elite hitters that will give him RBI opportunities against an extremely vulnerable pitcher.

MLB Player Props Today for Monday: Elly De La Cruz, Reds OVER 1.5 Hits + Runs + RBIs (-115)

Despite going only 2-10 in a weekend series against the Washington Nationals, Elly De La Cruz has covered this HRR line in 15 of his last 21 games and 63% of his road games on the season.

De La Cruz has dominated AJ Smith-Shawver in a very short sample, going 2-2 with a home run and a double.

Smith-Shawver has had more success against left-handed batters early in the season but he’s due to get blown up as lefties have slugged .475 against him throughout his career. He has also allowed a home run in three straight games and he’s due for regression with an ERA of 4.26 but an xERA of 6.72.

De La Cruz is projected to bat 3rd on the road where he’s taken advantage of a guaranteed full nine innings of at-bats with 2+ HRR in five straight games.
