All odds as of May 20th.

Prop #1: Randy Arozarena 2+ Hits

The first prop to target is two or more hits for the Rays Randy Arozarena. Tampa’s left fielder pounded three hits, including two home runs on Wednesday, his second three-hit game in his past four outings. He leads the team in hits and WAR, and has a .852 OPS on the road this season.

That spells trouble for Baltimore’s Dean Kremer, who’s been atrocious at home this season. The righty is sporting a 7.79 ERA at home, and has allowed 20 hits in his last 14.1 innings at Camden Yards.

Pick: Randy Arozarena 2+ Hits (+195)

Prop #2: Dane Dunning Under 5.5 Strikeouts

The next prop to target is under 5.5 strikeouts for the Rangers Dane Dunning against the Yankees. Texas’ number two starter has made it out of the 6th inning in just one start all season, and is fresh off getting shelled by Houston.

Dunning surrendered seven hits and four runs to the Astros last time out, and now has to face a Yankees lineup that is loaded from top to bottom. New York strikes out at a rate below league average, while Dunning’s swinging strike rate is the lowest it’s been since his minor league rookie season.

Pick: Dane Dunning Under 5.5 Strikeouts (-156)
