Hitter Prop Prediction 1: Javier Baez Under 1.5 Hits + Runs + RBIs (-105)<\/h2>\n

Detroit Tigers shortstop Javier Baez is in the midst of a brutal 2023 season with a .220 batting average and only 6 home runs & 44 RBI. Baez has fallen short of 2+ Hits + Runs + RBI in his last three and 13 of his last 30 games.<\/p>\n

The opposing starting pitcher Jordan Lyles has owned Baez throughout his career, holding him to 1-19 with 6 strikeouts. Lyles is having an ugly season himself but has been better of late, tossing five innings of one run baseball against the Cleveland Guardians in his last outing.<\/p>\n

Lyles was also solid in his last start against the Royals on 6\/19 where he scattered six hits and three runs across six innings pitched. Baez has been ice cold at the dish with only three hits, 2 runs and 0 RBI in his last six games.<\/p>\n

Lyles can’t be trusted in most situations, but considering his dominance over Baez, we can roll with an under 1.5 HRR on Baez tonight.<\/p>\n\n

Hitter Prop Prediction 2: Bobby Witt Jr Over 2.5 Hits + Runs + RBIs (+120)<\/span><\/h2>\n

Kansas City Royals shortstop Bobby Witt Jr is having the best season of any player on his team with a .764 OPS, 16 home runs and 51 RBI across 395 plate appearances.<\/p>\n

Witt Jr has been on an absolute heater recently with 1.197 OPS, .370 batting average, 4 home runs and 12 RBI across 48 plate appearances. He also has a great short term track record against Detroit Tigers starter Matt Manning, who he is 3-6 against with a double.<\/p>\n

Manning has pitched above average in 2023 with a 3-1 record, 3.72 ERA and 1.03 WHIP. However, he maxes out around 5-6 innings of work which leaves the bullpen holding the bag for 2-3 innings.<\/p>\n

The Detroit bullpen was a strength for the Tigers, but they have taken a step back with a 4.27 ERA (ranked 18th) over the last 30 games. Witt Jr has cleared this total in 8 of his last 13 games despite the line being set a 2.5 and we get plus money on top of that.<\/p>\n\n
