All odds as of April 15th.

Prop #1: Ronald Acuna 2+ Hits

The Atlanta Braves are reeling, having lost four straight, but Ronald Acuna is certainly not to blame. The 23-year-old is mashing to start the season, batting .447, with 6 home runs and a 1.500 OPS.

Acuna smacked three hits, including two home runs on Wednesday, and is a strong bet to record multiple hits once again. He’s already racked up seven multi-hit games in 12 outings, including six in his past nine contests.

He’s 1-for-2 in his career versus Miami starter Trevor Rogers, but the way he’s swinging the bat it literally doesn’t matter who’s pitching to him.

Pick: Ronald Acuna Jr. 2+ Hits (+210)

Prop #2: Jacob deGrom Over 9.5 Strikeouts

Through two starts, New York’s Jacob deGrom is leaving no doubt as to who the best pitcher in baseball is. The former two-time Cy Young Winner has a 0.64 ERA and 0.71 WHIP, and has racked up 21 strikeouts in only 14 innings.

Last time out, he mowed down 14 Miami hitters, and now gets to face Philadelphia for the second time. In their first meeting, deGrom produced only 7 strikeouts, but that’s because he left after just 6 innings. If he can stick around for at least that long on Thursday, he should exceed this over/under, especially since only four teams strikeout more often than the Phillies.

Pick: Jacob deGrom Over 9.5 strikeouts (-110)
