Today's Top MLB Prop Bet Picks & Predictions, Thursday 07/03 (Kyle Freeland Highlights): Best Value Bets

The bet on Chris Bassitt for Over 3.5 in the Pitcher Hits Allowed is backed by his recent performance data. Over the last five games, Bassitt has allowed an average of 5.4 hits overall and 6 hits at home, both of which are significantly higher than the 3.5 line. His innings pitched and outs averages also suggest he typically stays in the game long enough to exceed this line. Furthermore, his current home hit streak stands at 12, indicating a consistent pattern of allowing more than 3.5 hits in home games. Despite his slightly lower hits allowed average against the Yankees (4.5), it still surpasses the line. Therefore, Bassitt's recent performance data substantiates the bet for Over 3.5 in the Pitcher Hits Allowed market.

Pete Crow-Armstrong (CHC) Under 0.5 Stolen Bases (-345)

Pete Crow-Armstrong's recent performance data suggests that an under 0.5 bet on stolen bases is a solid choice. His last five overall and home games show a stolen bases average of just 0.2, significantly below the line of 0.5. Furthermore, his record against the Cleveland Guardians indicates no stolen bases in the last five matchups. Additionally, his current hit streaks, both overall and at home, are relatively low at 1 and 2 respectively. This implies he is not frequently getting on base to even have the opportunity to steal. Finally, the lack of caught stealing (Cs) instances in his last five games overall, at home, and against the Guardians, indicates a conservative base-running strategy. This all points towards a low probability of Crow-Armstrong stealing a base in the upcoming game.

Colt Keith (DET) Under 1.5 Hits (-238)

The bet on Colt Keith for Under 1.5 in the Batter Hits market is a strong choice due to his recent batting performance and current hit streak. In the last five games, Keith's overall and away hits average is only 0.4, well below the line of 1.5. His plate appearances also average around 2.2 to 2.6, which doesn't provide many opportunities for hits. Even when considering his performance against the same opponent, his hits average is just 0.5. While Keith does have an overall current hit streak of 11 and an away hit streak of 5, these streaks do not translate into a high number of hits per game. Therefore, the statistical data supports the bet for Keith to have under 1.5 hits in the upcoming game.

Aaron Civale (MIL) Over 3.5 Strikeouts (-152)

Aaron Civale's performance against the Dodgers is particularly impressive, with an average of 8 strikeouts in the last five games, which is significantly higher than his overall average of 3.4. Furthermore, his innings pitched (IP) and outs averages are also higher when playing against the Dodgers, indicating that he tends to stay in the game longer and has more opportunities to strike out batters. Despite his slightly lower away averages, his performance against this specific opponent suggests a strong possibility of achieving over 3.5 strikeouts. Additionally, Civale is not currently on a hit streak, which means he's due for a strong performance. Thus, betting over on Civale's strikeouts is a solid choice based on these statistics.

Aaron Civale (MIL) Over 3.5 Strikeouts (-152)

The bet on Aaron Civale for Over 3.5 in the Pitcher Strikeouts market is a strategic choice based on his performance data. His L5 vs Opp SO Avg (Pitching) is at 8, which is significantly above the line of 3.5. This indicates his strong performance against the Dodgers in the past. Additionally, his L5 Away SO Avg (Pitching) and L5 vs Opp IP Avg (Pitching) both stand at 5, suggesting he maintains good form while playing away and against the Dodgers specifically. Despite his current hit streak being at 0, his historical data shows a pattern of achieving high strikeouts, especially against this particular opponent. Therefore, the bet is grounded on Civale's strong historical performance against the Dodgers and his consistent form in away games.
