Monday was a solid night for the home team, as we went 2-1 to run our yearly MLB record to 132-103. Taj Bradley looked fantastic against Seattle, and he easily cashed our Over strikeouts ticket. Tanner Bibee was also dominant against Baltimore, and he stayed under his walks line for us.
Our lone loser was on Patrick Corbin. The veteran lefty somehow found a way to strike out 5 hitters to bust on Under on him. Check out our 5 favorite player props below, as well as a tidbit on how to use the new Bet365 promo. Good luck, sports betting compadres!

SEA at TB - 6:50 PM EDT
Most sportsbooks have this at minus money, so we'll gladly jump on this fantastic price. Taj Bradley just carved up this M's lineup for 8 strikeouts last night.
Littel doesn't have as powerful stuff as Bradley, but he still should give the Rays 6 solid innings tonight. The 28-year-old has two good breaking pitches (splitter and slider) that keep hitters off balance.
Littel's K-rate is only average, but we all know how K-prone this Seattle team is. The Mariners have 7 players that strike out more than 26% of the time. Let's watch Littel cook in this one!
PIT at CIN - 7:10 EDT
This one's a bit tricky since Greene just faced Pittsburgh 6 days ago. That normally leads me to pass on that pitcher's next outing. However, Greene struck out 9 Pirates hitters in that game, and I don't think they'll figure him out in this one.
Greene has one of the best fastballs in the game, as he tops out at 98 mph. His slider still isn't quite above average, but it's good enough to get a few swings and misses throughout a game. The 24-year-old ranks in the 96th percentile with his fastball velocity.
That should once again bode well against a Pittsburgh lineup that struggles to put the ball in play against righties. The Pirates have 3 hitters with K-rates above 29%. Look for Greene to feast on these guys, even in the hitter-friendly Great American Ballpark.
TOR at BOS - 7:10 PM EDT
Bello is a tough kid to figure out. He looks great at times and then seems to struggle with his command at other times. The young righty's sinker touches 96 mph on the gun, but it hasn't translated into a high strikeout rate.
The 25-year-old is striking out just 20.4% of hitters this season, which only puts him in the 39th percentile. Bello throws just 3 pitches (sinker, changeup, slider), so he sometimes has a tough time getting through a batting order more than twice.
Toronto has let me down lately, but they're still on my target list for strikeout Unders. The Jays have 6 hitters with K-rates under 18%. Let's ride the Under with confidence!
COL at HOU - 8:10 PM EDT
We cashed an Under ticket on Gomber last week, and this is another good opportunity to do so. If you looked up the term "contact-pitcher" in the dictionary, Gomber's picture would be there.
The 30-year old lefty has a good changeup, but the rest of his pitches are far less than dominant. Gomber's numbers probably look worse than they probably should because he pitches at Coors Field for half of his starts.
Houston is a tough matchup for Gomber, especially strikeout-wise. The Astros have 6 guys in their lineup with K-rates of 19% or less. Give us another Under!
We cashed our first ever walks prop last night, so let's ride another this evening! It's a little juicy, but we still think there's plenty of meat on the bone as far as value is concerned.
Lugo is one of the best control pitches in the American League. His walk rate of only 5.7% ranks in the 81st percentile in baseball. What's crazy about Lugo is that he can throw 8 different pitches for strikes at anytime.
The 34-year-old veteran has had good control at home this season, as he's stayed under this total in 5 of his 7 starts at Kauffman Stadium. Lugo has also stayed under this walks line in 2 of his last 3. Let's cash this Under!
