Today's Top MLB Prop Bet Picks & Predictions, Sunday 08/17 (Andrew Abbott Highlights): Data-Driven Baseball Insights

Nathan Eovaldi's average strikeouts per game (SO Avg) over the last five games stands at 6.2, comfortably above the line of 3.5. This is maintained even in away games, with an average of 5.4 strikeouts. His innings pitched (IP Avg) are also strong, averaging 6 overall and 6.4 in away games, suggesting he stays in games long enough to achieve the required strikeouts. Eovaldi's ability to stay in the game is further supported by his outs average, which is 18.4 overall and 19.6 in away games. Although his performance against the Blue Jays and in away games seems slightly lower, the averages still indicate a good chance of exceeding the 3.5 strikeouts line. Thus, betting on Eovaldi for over 3.5 strikeouts is a statistically sound choice.

Nolan Schanuel (LAA) Under 1.5 Singles (-233)

The betting rationale for Nolan Schanuel to have Under 1.5 singles in the game against the Oakland Athletics is rooted in his recent performance data. On average, Schanuel has only managed 0.6 singles in his last five games overall and the same average holds true for his last five away games. This is significantly less than the line of 1.5 singles. Schanuel's batting average also supports this bet, as he has only achieved an average of 0.8 hits in his last five games overall, and 1 hit in his last five away games. Despite his current hit streaks, his averages suggest that he is more likely to have fewer than 1.5 singles in the upcoming game. Therefore, the statistical data indicates that betting on Under 1.5 for Schanuel in the Batter Singles market is a good choice.

Andrew Abbott (CIN) Over 3.5 Strikeouts (-175)

Andrew Abbott has shown consistent performance with an overall average of 6.6 strikeouts per game and 5.4 innings pitched. Even when playing at home, his strikeout average remains strong at 5.4, comfortably surpassing the proposed line of 3.5. His current hit streak both overall and at home also indicates a solid form. Furthermore, his performance against the Brewers specifically is impressive, maintaining an average of 5.4 strikeouts. This consistent ability to exceed the line of 3.5 strikeouts, regardless of location or opponent, suggests a high likelihood of achieving an 'Over' outcome in the Pitcher Strikeouts market. His average outs also exceed the number required to achieve the 3.5 strikeouts, giving him enough opportunities to reach this target. Hence, betting on Abbott for Over 3.5 in the Pitcher Strikeouts market is statistically justified.

Luis Rengifo (LAA) Under 1.5 Singles (-263)

The bet on Luis Rengifo for Under 1.5 in the Batter Singles market is a strong choice based on his recent performance data. His average for the last 5 games overall and away is less than 1, at 0.4 and 0.8 respectively. Furthermore, his performance against the Oakland Athletics shows a low average of only 0.2 singles. Despite his impressive overall and away hit streaks, his batting average remains low. This suggests that while he is consistently hitting, he's not often achieving more than a single. His average against this specific opponent is also below the line set for this bet. Therefore, the statistics suggest that it's unlikely for Rengifo to hit over 1.5 singles in this game.

Tyler Soderstrom (ATH) Under 1.5 Singles (-323)

The under 1.5 bet on Tyler Soderstrom's singles is statistically justified by his recent performance data. Over the last five games, both overall and away, Soderstrom's average singles (1b) have been less than 1, at 0.4 and 0.6 respectively. His overall and away hits average are also under 1, at 0.6 and 0.8 respectively. This suggests that he is not currently hitting at a rate that would likely result in more than 1.5 singles in the upcoming game. Additionally, his current hit streaks, both overall and away, are quite low, at 3 and 2 games respectively. This indicates a lack of consistent hitting form. Thus, the data suggests that Soderstrom is unlikely to exceed 1.5 singles in the upcoming game against the Oakland Athletics.
