MLB • Athletics at Angels •
Oswald Peraza Under 1.5 Batter - Singles
Probability: 93.8% Edge: 14.4%
Reasoning

Oswald Peraza (NYY) Under 1.5 Singles (-385)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

Oswald Peraza's recent performance indicates a strong rationale for betting on Under 1.5 in the Batter Singles market. Over the last five games, both overall and away, Peraza's average number of singles (1b) has been 0.2. This is significantly below the line of 1.5, suggesting a low likelihood of surpassing this mark. His batting average also supports this, with a low 0.2 overall and 0.6 away. Even when considering his performance against the opposition, his average remains low at 0.4. Despite his impressive hit streaks, these seem to be more reflective of consistent hitting rather than high-volume singles. Therefore, based on these statistics, the under 1.5 bet is a logical choice.

MLB • Guardians at Rays •
Jose Ramirez Under 0.5 Batter - Stolen Bases
Probability: 90.1% Edge: 12.6%
Reasoning

Jose Ramirez (CLE) Under 0.5 Stolen Bases (-345)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

The bet on Jose Ramirez for Under 0.5 in the Batter Stolen Bases market is driven by his recent performance data. Ramirez's average stolen bases in the last 5 games overall and away games are 0.6 and 0.4 respectively, both of which are below the line of 0.5. Furthermore, his performance against the Tampa Bay Rays in the last 5 games shows an even lower average of 0.2 stolen bases. In addition, his current hit streak, both overall and for away games, is at 0, indicating a recent lack of successful hits. This lack of hits reduces his opportunities to steal bases. Moreover, the Tampa Bay Rays have an average of 0.2 caught stealing against the Cleveland Guardians, which further decreases Ramirez's chances of successful steals. Hence, the Under 0.5 bet is statistically favorable.

MLB Prop Bets: Data-Driven Picks & Predictions

Step up to the plate with Bet Better's advanced analytics and AI-powered predictions for MLB Prop betting. Props allow you to wager on specific individual player performances—from a pitcher's total strikeouts to a hitter's total bases—adding a thrilling and strategic dimension to your MLB betting. Our platform analyzes deep statistical data, leveraging actuarial modeling and machine learning, to uncover MLB player prop picks with a quantifiable edge.

Understanding MLB Prop Betting Markets

MLB Props offer a vast array of betting opportunities, focusing on either pitcher or hitter performances. Understanding these markets is key to finding value:

MLB Pitcher Props

Common prop bets for starting pitchers and sometimes relievers include:

  • Strikeouts (K's) Props: Betting over or under a pitcher's projected total strikeouts for the game. This is one of the most popular pitcher props.
  • Outs Recorded Props: Wagering on the total number of outs a starting pitcher will record (e.g., Over/Under 17.5 outs).
  • Hits Allowed Props: Predicting whether a pitcher will allow over or under a certain number of hits.
  • Earned Runs Allowed Props: Betting on the number of earned runs a pitcher will concede.
  • Walks (BB) Issued Props: Wagering on a pitcher's total walks issued.
  • To Record a Win Props: Betting on whether a starting pitcher will be credited with the win (Yes/No).
  • Quality Start Props: Betting on a pitcher to record a quality start (at least 6 innings pitched with 3 or fewer earned runs allowed) (Yes/No).

MLB Hitter Props

For batters, common prop bets include:

  • Hits Props: Betting over or under a player's projected total hits (e.g., O/U 0.5, O/U 1.5 hits).
  • Home Runs Props: Wagering on whether a player will hit a home run (Yes/No), or sometimes Over/Under 0.5 home runs.
  • Total Bases Props: Predicting a player's total bases accumulated (Single=1, Double=2, Triple=3, Home Run=4).
  • Runs Scored Props: Betting on a player's total runs scored.
  • RBIs (Runs Batted In) Props: Wagering on a player's total RBIs.
  • Stolen Bases Props: Betting on whether a player will steal a base (Yes/No).
  • Hits + Runs + RBIs Props: A combined bet on a player's total hits, runs, and RBIs.
  • Strikeouts (by Hitter) Props: Betting on whether a hitter will strike out over or under a certain number of times.

Each MLB prop type requires specific analysis of player skills, matchups, ballpark factors, and game conditions.

Analyzing Player Matchups and Statistics for MLB Props

Successful MLB prop betting relies on meticulous data analysis. For pitchers, our models evaluate strikeout rates (K/9), walk rates (BB/9), opponent batting average, WHIP, and splits (vs. LHH/RHH). For hitters, we analyze batting average, on-base percentage (OBP), slugging percentage (SLG), ISO (isolated power), recent form, and performance against specific pitcher types or individual pitchers (BvP data, used cautiously due to sample sizes). Lineup position, injuries, and bullpen strength also play crucial roles.

Finding Value in MLB Prop Odds

Comparing Projections to Sportsbook Lines

The essence of finding value in MLB props is comparing our data-driven statistical projections to the lines offered by sportsbooks. Oddsmakers establish lines based on various inputs, but sophisticated analytical models like ours can often pinpoint discrepancies. When our model indicates a higher probability for an outcome than the sportsbook's odds imply, it signals a positive expected value (+EV) and a potentially profitable betting opportunity on an MLB prop bet.

AI-Powered MLB Prop Predictions

Our AI algorithms are specifically trained on extensive historical MLB player performance data, game logs, situational stats, and contextual factors (like ballpark dimensions and weather) to generate precise MLB player prop predictions. These aren't just averages; they stem from advanced modeling that considers variance, specific matchups, recent performance trends, and pitcher/hitter tendencies, offering an objective assessment of a player's likelihood to exceed or fall short of their prop line.

Strategies for Betting MLB Props

Developing a robust MLB prop betting strategy goes beyond basic statistics. Key considerations include:

  • Pitcher vs. Hitter Matchups: Analyze how a hitter performs against the specific starting pitcher (and vice-versa), considering handedness (L/R splits) and historical success (BvP, with caution).
  • Ballpark Factors: Some parks are hitter-friendly (e.g., Coors Field, Great American Ball Park), while others favor pitchers (e.g., Oracle Park, Petco Park). Wind direction and temperature also matter.
  • Umpire Tendencies: Certain umpires have wider or tighter strike zones, which can impact pitcher strikeout totals and hitter walk rates.
  • Recent Form & Usage: Is a pitcher on a hot streak with high K's? Is a hitter seeing the ball well? How deep are pitchers typically going into games recently?
  • Lineup Position: Hitters at the top of the order generally get more plate appearances, increasing opportunities for hits, runs, and total bases.
  • Injury Reports: Injuries to key players can shift offensive or defensive responsibilities and opportunities.
  • Line Shopping: Odds and lines for the same MLB prop can differ across sportsbooks. Always shop for the best value.

Our platform helps simplify this analysis by providing data-driven insights, projected stats, and clear "Prob" (Probability) and "Edge" metrics for each MLB prop.

MLB Prop Betting FAQs

What exactly is an MLB Prop Bet?

An MLB Prop Bet is a wager on an individual player's specific statistical performance within an MLB game, independent of the game's final score. Examples include betting on a pitcher's total strikeouts, a hitter's total bases, or whether a player will hit a home run.

How can Bet Better help me with MLB Props?

Bet Better provides data-driven analysis and AI-powered predictions specifically for MLB Props. We analyze extensive player, team, and situational data to calculate the true probability ("Prob") of a player going over or under a specific statistical line set by sportsbooks. We also highlight the betting value ("Edge") to help you make more informed MLB prop betting decisions.

What types of MLB props do you cover?

We cover a wide range of common MLB Prop markets. For pitchers, this includes Strikeouts, Outs Recorded, Hits Allowed, and Earned Runs Allowed. For hitters, we analyze props like Hits, Home Runs, Total Bases, Runs Scored, RBIs, and combined stats like Hits+Runs+RBIs, among others, depending on data availability.

How do you determine the Probability and Edge for an MLB prop?

Our sophisticated AI and machine learning models process detailed player statistics (e.g., K/9, BB/9 for pitchers; wOBA, ISO for hitters), historical performance, opponent matchups (L/R splits, BvP data), recent form, ballpark factors, weather, umpire data, and game context. They run simulations to project a player's likely statistical output and calculate the probability of that result relative to the sportsbook line. The "Edge" is the identified value when comparing our calculated probability to the sportsbook's implied odds.

What are 'Strikeout Props' (K props) for MLB pitchers?

Strikeout Props, often called 'K props,' are bets on the total number of strikeouts a specific pitcher will record in a game. Sportsbooks set an Over/Under line (e.g., O/U 6.5 strikeouts), and you wager on whether the pitcher will achieve more or fewer strikeouts than that number. It's one of the most popular MLB pitcher props.

How do 'Total Bases' props work for MLB hitters?

'Total Bases' props are bets on the cumulative number of bases a hitter will record from their hits in a game. The calculation is: Singles = 1 base, Doubles = 2 bases, Triples = 3 bases, Home Runs = 4 bases. Walks, hit-by-pitches, or stolen bases do not count towards total bases. Sportsbooks provide an Over/Under line for this stat.

Can I use your MLB prop picks in parlays or Same Game Parlays (SGPs)?

Yes, many sportsbooks allow MLB props to be included in parlays and Same Game Parlays (SGPs). While Bet Better focuses on identifying value in individual prop bets, you can use our insights to inform your SGP selections. However, be aware that combining bets significantly increases risk and variance, and correlations between props in an SGP can be complex.

Are props available for every player in every MLB game?

Prop availability can vary. Generally, starting pitchers and prominent hitters in most games will have props offered. Lesser-known players or those in less popular matchups might have fewer or no props listed by sportsbooks. Our platform's coverage depends on the markets provided by our data sources for MLB player specials.

How do ballpark factors influence MLB props?

Ballpark factors are very influential. Some parks, like Coors Field (altitude) or Great American Ball Park (homer-friendly dimensions), significantly boost offense and hitter props (home runs, total bases, runs). Others, like Petco Park or Oracle Park, are pitcher-friendly and can suppress offensive stats. Wind direction and strength (e.g., wind blowing in or out) also play a major role, especially for home run props and total bases.

How important is the home plate umpire for pitcher strikeout props?

The home plate umpire can have a noticeable impact on strikeout props. Some umpires are known for having a wider 'pitcher-friendly' strike zone, leading to more called strikes and potentially more strikeouts. Conversely, umpires with tighter zones ('hitter-friendly') may result in more walks and fewer strikeouts. Advanced bettors often consider umpire assignments and their historical tendencies.
