All odds as of May 21st.

Prop #1:  Juan Soto 2+ Hits

The first prop to target is two or more hits for the Nats Juan Soto. Washington’s left fielder has two multi-hit games in his past three starts, and has a .306 average and a .824 OPS versus right handed pitching this season. He’s making hard contact at the second highest clip of his career (48.9%) and the matchup against Baltimore’s Jorge Lopez is one to exploit.

Lopez is fresh off allowing 6 hits and 5 runs in just 2 innings against the Yankees, and has surrendered 48 base runners in just 35 innings of work in 2021.

Pick: Juan Soto 2+ Hits (+180)

Prop #2:  Martin Perez Over 4.5 Strikeouts

The next prop to target is over 4.5 strikeouts for Red Sox starter Martin Perez. Boston’s lefty has exceeded this total in three of his past four outings, pitching into at least the 6th inning on each occasion. His K/9 rate is the highest it’s ever been (8.39) and the matchup couldn’t be more favorable.

Only one team in all of MLB strikes out more than the Phillies, and they’ve been especially bad against southpaws. Philadelphia batters have struck out 161 times versus lefties in just 485 at-bats (33.2%).

Pick: Martin Perez Over 4.5 Strikeouts (-128)
