Best MLB Player Props #1:<\/strong> Colton Cowser Baltimore Orioles UNDER 0.5<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong> Hits + Runs + RBIs (-137)<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Colton Cowser has struggled in 2026 while batting only .212 with 11 home runs and 33 RBI across 298 plate appearances. Cowser has fallen short of this line in each of his last three games and 51% of his games during the 2026 campaign. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now Cowser has to deal with Gerrit Cole who he’s gone 0-7 against with 6 strikeouts. Cole has been in great form with a 1.93 ERA across 18.2 innings of work in August and current Orioles are batting only .220 against him across 45 plate appearances. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cole is going to be backed by a Yankees bullpen that ranks 4th in ERA (2.65) and 8th in WHIP (1.21) during the last 30 days. Cowser is projected to bat 9th today and that may limit his at-bats while playing at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Best MLB Player Props<\/strong> #2: Jose Altuve Houston Astros OVER 1.5<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong> Hits + Runs + RBIs (-140)<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Jose Altuve is riding a 5-game hitting streak where he’s cleared this HRR line three times and he draws a very favorable matchup at home against the Los Angeles Angels. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Altuve gets another crack at Grayson Rodriguez who he’s gone 3-10 against (.300) with a double and a free pass. Rodruguez has struggled in his first season with the Halos with a 7.17 ERA and 1.59 WHIP on the season. Rodriguez has allowed 28 walks across only 59 innings of work, and a patient Astros lineup can take advantage of that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Angels bullpen has improved over the last 30 days, but they still rank 22nd in ERA on the season (4.28) so regression come occur soon. Houston is very familiar with Rodriguez as they have seen him twice in 2026 and that should give a veteran hitter like Altuve a huge edge.
