Bettor Mark paired the Dodgers with the Phillies, backing Jesus Luzardo and Philadelphia on the money line against the 8-39 Rockies. Luzardo enters at 4-0 with a 2.00 ERA, and Mark highlighted a matchup against Antonio Senzatela, whom he labeled "not a good pitcher." Colorado’s offense scored only once in Monday’s 9-1 loss and owns the league’s worst wRC+. Given the extreme pitching mismatch and the Rockies’ road futility, he sees Philadelphia as a near-automatic inclusion in the parlay, yielding close to even money when combined with the Dodgers.

Bettor Mark expects ace Yoshinobu Yamamoto to stop the bleeding for a Dodgers club riding a four-game skid, making L.A. a worthwhile money-line anchor at ‑215. He called it a classic bounce-back spot, stressing that the Dodgers remain one of the most profitable teams despite the brief slump and "they can’t lose five in a row, right?" Yamamoto’s underlying numbers—30% strikeout rate and sub-3.00 FIP—support the play, and Mark prefers using the Dodgers as the first leg of a two-team parlay rather than laying the steep price or the –1.5 run line.

Bettor Mark bet the over 8.5 runs in Cubs–Marlins because he does not trust Miami’s rookie left-hander Ryan Weathers the second time the Cubs have seen him. Weathers held Chicago to two hits and one earned run over 5.0 innings in his MLB debut, but Mark expects the familiar look to benefit Chicago’s bats. He added that Jameson Taillon’s fly-ball tendencies and penchant for giving up "the long ball" keep Miami firmly in the scoring mix. With his own run-expectancy model projecting significantly more offense than the market number of 8.5 at ‑105, he made the over his first official play.

Bettor Mark likes the Dodgers –1.5 at roughly –125 against the Angels, a team that has oddly thrived at Dodger Stadium in recent years. He expects LA’s offense to flex early rather than requiring late heroics and thinks the star-studded roster will ‘show the MLB who they are’ before leaving town. The run-line play lets him turn heavy-chalk money-line odds into a palatable price while still capturing what he views as a clear talent gap in this finale of the crosstown series.

Bettor Mark is again fading rookie phenom Paul Skenes and grabbing Philadelphia –110 on the money-line. He believes the number is cheap for a Phillies lineup that can jump on Skenes’ early-career adrenaline and an over-adjusted total he feels is set too low. Mark has cashed repeatedly by betting against Skenes’ starts and expects Citizens Bank Park to amplify the Phillies’ platoon power. In his view, betting Philadelphia at essentially a pick ’em offers clear value and a strong path to units on a getaway-day slate.

Bettor Mark projected a shoot-out in the Twins-Orioles matchup and made Over 9 runs (–105) an official wager. He highlighted Chris Paddack’s volatility and Baltimore’s strong splits versus right-handed pitching as reasons the Orioles can "get to Paddack." Minnesota’s lineup has been "sneakily hot" of late, giving him confidence they can do damage against Shugano, whose underlying metrics and platoon splits lean hitter-friendly. With both offenses ranking top-10 in hard-hit rate over the past week and Camden Yards offering a homer-friendly backdrop, Mark expects multiple crooked numbers and prefers the full-game total to derivative markets.

Bettor Mark recommended betting the Dodgers "to not bat in the ninth inning" against the Athletics, a DraftKings market that cashes if Los Angeles is leading after eight. He prefers this approach to laying –1.5 because Oakland’s lineup can be streaky and the Dodgers are starting an inexperienced arm (SAR). Mark still trusts LA’s offense to post 4–5 runs at Chavez Ravine and called the A’s earlier 9-1 win "a fluke." By trimming juice yet fading extra-inning variance, he believes the Dodgers will win comfortably in regulation.

Bettor Mark endorsed backing Spencer Strider and the Braves on the first-five run line at –0.5 runs (–133) against Washington. He called Strider "one of the best young hot pitchers in the NL" and expects a quality start against a Nationals lineup that grades out as a plus matchup for Atlanta bats. Mark likes the F5 angle because it avoids the Braves’ occasionally inconsistent late-inning bullpen; he said even one to three early runs of support should be enough given Strider’s dominance. He mentioned the alternative "Braves not to bat in the ninth" prop but made the first-five run-line his official play.

Bettor Mark advised jumping back on the Dodgers after Tuesday’s embarrassing no-show, recommending the straight money line (around –250) or the ‘will not bat in the 9th’ market at similar juice. He expects Yoshinobu Yamamoto (1.80 ERA, 29.4% K-rate) to dominate an Oakland lineup that ranks dead-last in wRC+ versus right-handed pitching. Mark’s bigger angle is psychological: he doubts the veteran Dodgers clubhouse will accept dropping two straight home games to baseball’s worst club after mailing in yesterday’s effort. He called the Dodgers a “solid dance partner” for parlays but is comfortable laying the straight price, predicting a multi-run lead that renders the bottom of the ninth unnecessary.

Bettor Mark expects Philadelphia to sweep Wednesday’s twin-bill and singled out Game 2 (6:15 pm ET) as the best angle with the Phillies sitting around –134. Aaron Nola is on the mound while St. Louis counters with Sonny Gray, whose 3.50 ERA hides a recent mini-slide (nine runs across his last 13 innings). Mark foresees a ‘slugging kind of day’ for Bryce Harper and company, noting the Cardinals’ bullpen owns one of MLB’s worst hard-contact rates over the last two weeks. Because the Phillies will be the home side, he prefers attacking the “to lead after 8½ innings / no bottom of the 9th” market at plus money, or laying the –1.5 run line if books hang a reasonable price. In short, he thinks Philly’s offense overpowers St. Louis and trusts Nola to work deep enough to hand a lead to Jeff Hoffman and Jose Alvarado.

Bettor Mark said Manny Machado’s hits-plus-runs-plus-RBIs prop is still mis-priced and made Over 2.5 (+125) his second best bet of the slate. Machado has cleared that 2.5 line in nine of his past ten games while slashing .405/.468/.667 over that stretch. Mark expects another crooked-number night because the matchup comes against a thin Angels pitching staff that is forced to open with Jose Suarez before turning things over to a bullpen sitting 27th in WHIP. With Petco Park temperatures projected in the mid-70s and a total hovering near 9 runs, Mark prefers chasing the plus money on 2.5 but noted that the safer Over 1.5 at –160 is viable for unit-sizing purposes. He added that bettors uncomfortable with combo props could instead attack Machado’s run scored line (Over 0.5 at –110) in what he expects to be a high-scoring contest.

Bettor Mark’s final official play is Toronto -125 on the moneyline. Although he admitted he’s "not the biggest Jose Berrios fan," his power rankings and matchup metrics still favor the Blue Jays at home. Tampa Bay enters 18-22, and Mark expects a "little dud" from their offense traveling north to face Berrios. Meanwhile, Shane Baz is still ramping up, giving Toronto’s bats an edge. With conference travel putting him in Toronto, Mark is happy to back the Blue Jays at what he considers a fair price.

Bettor Mark’s third best bet is the Dodgers ‘will NOT bat in the bottom of the ninth’ prop. L.A. is 27-14 and averages 5.2 runs per game at Dodger Stadium, while Oakland still hasn’t named a starter. Mark trusts rookie right-hander Logan Knack to protect a lead and prefers this prop to the -1.5 run line because it trims juice while still cashing if the Dodgers are up after eight. He called it “free money” in a matchup heavily tilted toward Los Angeles.

Bettor Mark advised betting the Alex Bregman OVER 0.5 strikeouts at -118. Bregman has fanned in six of his last ten games (60%) and Mark likes the "zig-zag" pattern—Bregman went K-less yesterday, historically followed by a strikeout the next game. The matchup is against Brayan Bello, who is 2-0 with a 2.01 ERA and a punch-out rate above league average, giving the prop extra juice. Mark called the minus-118 price “very good value” and made it his first official best bet.

Bettor Mark locked in Under 7 at +105 for Pirates–Mets, banking on a pitchers’ duel between Paul Skenes (3-4, 2.77 ERA) and his ‘favorite’ Mets starter (unnamed in clip). Mark expects Skenes to flash ace stuff on a bigger stage away from PNC Park, while the Mets arm has quietly suppressed hard contact all season. Although the Pirates offense has trended up, he sees both lineups struggling to string hits against power arms and prefers the plus-money number in a game he projects at six combined runs or fewer.

Bettor Mark said the Tigers are a must-play at –108 after reopening down from –115. He noted public handle leans toward Boston, yet he prefers Detroit in a classic bounce-back spot following an ugly loss. Mark trusts rookie Joe Boyle’s 2-0 record and underlying stuff at Comerica Park even though Boyle has been ‘saved by the bats’ so far. Conversely, he expects some regression for Tanner Houck, pointing to the Red Sox right-hander’s recent escape acts and a Detroit lineup that has shown improved pop at home. With books effectively treating Boston as the true favorite despite the cheaper Detroit price, Mark believes the number is simply wrong and the Tigers should be favored, making their moneyline his top play.

Bettor Mark advised betting OVER 9.5 in Orioles-Angels, calling the matchup a "hitter’s paradise." He highlighted Kyle Gibson’s "9,762 ERA" hyperbole to emphasize how hittable he believes the veteran right-hander has been, while Josh Canning (his pronunciation of Jose Suarez/Jake Canningawicks) gives him little confidence on the other side. Mark foresees "a lot of runs, a lot of hits, a lot of offensive production" and therefore is comfortable attacking the high total.

Calling it his "sharp play of the day," Bettor Mark is on UNDER 7.5 in Rangers-Tigers. He trusts his numbers that project a low-scoring duel between Jacob deGrom—"great bounce-back year"—and Jack Flaherty, whom he expects to overperform his surface metrics at Comerica. Mark added that Texas routinely scores less on the road, and he anticipates public money inflating the over because totals in the 6–7 range often attract casual bettors. The blueprint he outlined is a 2-1 or 3-0 type game; if it shoots out, he’ll "tip the cap," but the official bet is the under.

Bettor Mark said he is betting OVER 9 (-110) in Cardinals-Nationals because he expects both lineups to produce at least five runs apiece. He pointed to St. Louis’ recent "hitting the baseball exceedingly well" stretch and Washington’s habit of surrendering crooked numbers, referencing the Nats’ just-completed high-scoring set with Cleveland. With Andre Palante facing Trevor Williams, Mark sees little resistance on either side and even mentioned the Cardinals’ team-total as a viable alternative, but the official play is the full-game over.

Bettor Mark leaned toward UNDER 8 in Blue Jays-Mariners. He cited an uninspiring matchup for both offenses with Seattle's home park suppressing power, plus right-hander Evans facing Bowden Francis who profiles as a strike-thrower capable of limiting damage. Mark said he would only "dabble in props" otherwise, but if taking a side, his numbers point to a low-scoring game and the posted total of 8 gives just enough cushion.

Bettor Mark said he is betting Padres –1.5 on the FIRST-SEVEN-INNINGS run line at –104. He expects San Diego to "roll" at Coors Field because altitude amplifies an already potent Padres lineup while Colorado hands the ball to Blaylock, whose 8-plus ERA makes him "another story." Conversely, Mark praised Padres starter "Kolek," noting the ex-reliever is 1-0 and looked sharp in his first turn as a starter. He considered the full-game run line (–142) and a lofty 6.5 team total but decided the F7 run line provides near-even money with less bullpen variance. His entire angle is Padres jump on Blaylock early, take a multi-run lead by the seventh, and never look back.

Though it just missed his official card, Bettor Mark flagged Houston –1.5 (+158) as his favorite value play. He noted Cincinnati’s knack for offensive no-shows—"the Reds can always throw up a goose egg"—and likes the matchup of a returning Lance McCullers Jr. against Brady Singer. With the Astros’ lineup capable of piling on and the generous plus-money price on the run line, Mark said Houston would be the bet he adds if searching for one more edge.

Bettor Mark is laying –135 with Atlanta on the road in Pittsburgh. He expects the Braves to "show out" after yesterday’s loss, noting they historically mash left-handed pitching and will now face southpaw Andrew Heaney. Mark likes that highly-touted rookie AJ Smith-Shaver (whom he called a "young, hot arm") gets the start, projecting him to go deep and quiet the Pirates, whose recent managerial shake-up he views as a minimal bump. The zig-zag off the Pirates’ Friday win, the platoon edge versus a lefty, and Atlanta’s overall lineup quality form the core of his conviction.

Invoking his proprietary fade system, Bettor Mark is betting Addison Barger UNDER 0.5 total bases at +140 on Bet365. The rookie has cleared this number in only 30 percent of his last 10 games, and Mark believes the books have mis-priced his matchup in a game likely to feature runs elsewhere. He’s staking one unit on Barger failing to record a hit or walk that counts toward total bases.

Mark is laying –1.5 with Philadelphia at +125. He’s hitching his wagon to Jesus Luzardo, who he expects to overpower a Rays lineup that has been middling versus lefties, while Ryan Pepiot faces a red-hot Phillies offense. With the Phils playing clean baseball on the back end as well, he thinks Tampa Bay could be completely stifled, making the plus-money run line the best way to attack the matchup.

Although he stopped short of an official play, Bettor Mark said the smartest angle in this AL Central clash is White Sox +1.5 at even money. Kansas City has won five straight but the margin has been razor-thin (2-1, 4-3, 3-0 so far in the series). With Chris Martin pitching better than expected and the Royals’ offense prone to dry spells, Mark thinks it’s more likely the game finishes 5-4 or 6-5 than a KC blow-out. Because of that, he prefers taking the run and a half instead of the juicy +205 Chicago moneyline.

Bettor Mark labeled the Twins his favorite wager of the entire slate. He pointed out that Baltimore has been 'absolute garbage' on the road while Bailey Ober is quietly 4-1 with a 3.72 ERA. With Dean Kremer struggling to miss bats, Mark expects Minnesota to be in front early and stay there. His preferred angle is DraftKings’ "Will the home team bat in the bottom of the 9th? – No" at –110, because it captures a Twins win without laying the full –144 moneyline. For bettors who want more juice he’s comfortable with the standard run line at +150, but the no-bottom-9th prop is how he’s personally attacking it.

Bettor Mark backed the Yankees’ team total over 4.5 runs at even money against Dylan Cease and the Padres. He pointed to New York’s offense finally clicking—10.2 runs per game over their last five—and highlighted Juan Soto’s 217 wRC+ in that span along with Giancarlo Stanton barreling the ball at a career-best 23% rate. Mark noted Cease’s velocity dip (–1.2 mph on the four-seamer) and an ugly 40.5% hard-hit rate through his last three outings. With Yankee Stadium’s short porch and light 7 mph out-to-right wind, he expects Aaron Boone’s club to cash five runs by the seventh inning.

Bettor Mark said the Dodgers are in a classic bounce-back situation after dropping Tuesday’s game to Miami and facing a Marlins bullpen game with no confirmed starter. Rather than laying the –1.5 run line at roughly –140, he prefers the correlated team-total over 5.5 runs at –122, noting that Los Angeles has cleared that number in six of their last eight wins. He expects Dave Roberts’ lineup to be back at full strength, highlighted by Mookie Betts’ .425 OBP and Shohei Ohtani’s recent five-game homer binge. With Miami ranking 29th in bullpen ERA (5.21) and the roof open at Dodger Stadium on a warm 78-degree night, Mark projected 6–7 runs and said the play captures the same upside as the run line at a cheaper price.

For his final official play, Bettor Mark grabbed the Padres at –105 in Yankee Stadium, calling it a classic ‘zig-zag’ after New York’s 3-0 Monday win. He prefers Michael King’s 4-1 record and sub-2.00 ERA to Clark Schmidt, whom he thinks San Diego’s lineup can handle easily in a potential high-scoring game. Mark noted that the Padres’ offense has more upside than its early-season numbers suggest and believes the even-money price is too generous given King’s form and New York’s recent bullpen workload.

Bettor Mark’s third official wager is the Phillies-Rays UNDER 8 runs at –110. He trusts Zack Wheeler on the road and thinks Drew Rasmussen’s 2.64 ERA—despite a 1-2 record—indicates Tampa’s righty can hold his own for 5+ innings. Wheeler’s fastball command has limited opponents to a sub-200 average, and Rasmussen has shaved his WHIP under 1.10 while keeping the ball in the yard under MLB’s new homer-dampening baseballs. Mark acknowledged some regression risk for Rasmussen but still projects a score in the 3-2 or 4-3 range. He leans Phillies money line (-125) but prefers the total, forecasting a pitchers’ duel that cashes the under.

Bettor Mark called the Tigers "the most underrated team in baseball" and recommended sprinkling futures money on them to win the AL Central. His case: Detroit’s offense owns more explosive upside than Cleveland’s and now features Spencer Torkelson, Riley Greene and Colt Keith all posting career-best barrel rates. On the mound, the emergence of ace Tarik Skubal plus a wave of young arms—including today’s starter Jobe—gives the Tigers legitimate depth across a 162-game grind. Mark emphasized that injuries can flip the division quickly, but Detroit’s current mix of power, speed and strike-throwing makes their +450 (consensus) divisional odds mis-priced.

Bettor Mark said he would only play the over in Mariners-A’s because Emerson Hancock continues to profile as a fade. Hancock has allowed a .303 opponents’ batting average and 46% hard-hit rate while averaging barely 8% swinging-strikes—numbers that point to at least three earned runs in his typical 90-100 pitch workload. Mark added that Oakland’s lineup—"Vegas, Sacramento, whatever you want to call them"—is starting to string together quality ABs, ranking top-12 in isolated power this month. Although he ultimately passed, he told viewers an over nine at –105 would be his preferred angle given Hancock’s contact-heavy profile and two bullpens that used multiple high-leverage arms Monday.

Bettor Mark leaned to the Cardinals +115 to spoil another "Paul Skenes Day." He reminded listeners that blindly fading Skenes has already produced multiple plus-money cashes for the channel because Pittsburgh still cannot hit—the Buccos sit 28th in wRC+ since April 15. St. Louis roughed up the Pirates bullpen Monday (6–3 lead during recording) and now sends lefty Matthew Liberatore, whose new slider has trimmed his hard-hit rate to 30%. Mark believes the cheap price reflects nothing more than Skenes’ prospect buzz and called it "a great spot to fade the rookie on the road."

Bettor Mark locked in an official two-leg money-line parlay that pays +164 by coupling the Tigers and Dodgers. He called Detroit "our dance partner" because he believes Jobe (the rookie right-hander getting the start in Colorado) has big-league stuff right now and faces a Rockies lineup striking out 24% of the time against righties. Mark also thinks Detroit’s offense is deeper than people realize, noting they rank top-10 in hard-hit rate and soon get Tarik Skubal every fifth day, which keeps the bullpen fresh for getaway games like this one. The Dodgers side of the ticket is the same angle he mentioned Monday—Tony Gonsolin versus fade-machine Cal Quantrill and L.A.’s scary top four (Betts, Ohtani, Freeman, Hernandez). With both favorites sitting in the –180 to –200 range, the parlay creates plus money without having to swallow heavy chalk on either club individually.

Bettor Mark wants the Dodgers as a ‘dance-partner’ in a two-leg money-line parlay because he refuses to lay the straight –260. He trusts Tony Gonsolin, who won his first start off the IL and looked sharp, while he labels Miami’s Cal Quantrill "one of my favorite pitchers to fade." The Dodgers are on a multi-game winning streak and bring a terrifying top four of Mookie Betts, Shohei Ohtani, Freddie Freeman and the red-hot Teoscar Hernandez. Even in Monday’s 7–4 win, Miami managed 10 hits, so Mark is respecting the Marlins’ bats but still believes Los Angeles is on a business-trip roll that continues Tuesday. Bettors unwilling to parlay could take the run line (-1.5 at –152), but Mark’s official approach is to pair LA’s money line with another heavy favorite to land plus-money.

Bettor Mark said to play the over 9 in BOTH halves of Tuesday’s Guardians-Nationals doubleheader, staking a half-unit on each game. His reasoning centered on four shaky starters: Luis Ortiz and Jake Irvin in Game 1, followed by Ben Lively and Mitchell Parker in Game 2 (Mark called the latter combo “Laivoli vs Lord”). Ortiz threw seven shutout frames last time out, but Mark expects regression and notes none of the other three arms miss many bats. He added that doubleheaders tend to get ‘loose,’ with bullpens stretched and managers less inclined to burn high-leverage arms in the opener, creating extra run-scoring chances. With both totals posted at 9 and priced near even money (-105/-110), Mark believes the worst-case is a push while the ceiling is two outright wins for a full-unit profit.

Bettor Mark locked in the Royals at +115, calling it one of his ‘best bets.’ The play is rooted in fading Kyle Gibson, whom Mark says is clearly in the back-nine of his career and has looked vulnerable since returning to the rotation. He also pointed out that Baltimore sits just 13-19 despite being favored, making the plus-money number on Kansas City stand out. Although he admitted he doesn’t love the Royals’ bats, he believes Michael Lorenzen can keep them in it long enough for the bullpen to finish the job against a struggling Orioles lineup.

Bettor Mark made the Mets his first official bet of the Sunday slate, laying –124 in Game 1 of the double-header at St. Louis. He called the wager a classic “Fetty fade,” noting that Eric Fetty has been hittable and that any sub--130 road price against him is, in his view, a bargain. Mark emphasized that New York sends prospect Tidwell to the mound while the Cardinals counter with Fetty, and he expects the Mets’ lineup to capitalize on Fetty’s mediocre stuff and command. He framed the pick as simple value: a contending offense versus a pitcher he wants to oppose at a number he considers too short.

Bettor Mark said he is comfortable paying the Tigers –170 moneyline price, even if he refrained from labeling it an official play. He highlighted Detroit’s momentum after belting three ninth-inning homers Friday and pointed to Jack Flaherty’s return to ace form (2.80 ERA, 30% K-rate, 1.03 WHIP) against an Angels lineup that just watched closer Kenley Jansen cough up another lead. Mark noted Los Angeles will counter with Hendricks, who has been "horrible" since joining the rotation (6.12 ERA, opponents batting .308), and a bullpen he described as "taxed on the back end." He suggested pairing Detroit with the Giants in a parlay but believes the Tigers win straight up thanks to a clear starting-pitching edge, a fresher ’pen, and a Halos offense that ranks 25th in wRC+ the last two weeks.

Bettor Mark grabbed the Dodgers at ‑104 in Saturday’s showdown with Atlanta, calling it a “bet on principle” when L.A. is priced like a coin flip. The Dodgers held a 2-0 lead in Friday’s rain-shortened game and, despite a bullpen hiccup that cost run-line bettors, showed they can handle the Braves’ lineup. With Sasaki facing rookie Spencer Schwellenbach, Mark gives the starting-pitching edge to Los Angeles and trusts the Dodger bullpen more in a high-leverage spot. He views the matchup as nearly pick’em talent-wise but believes the Dodgers’ deeper lineup makes them the sharper side whenever the price hovers near even money.

Bettor Mark locked in the Seattle Mariners moneyline at ‑130, citing his long-standing practice of fading Patrick Corbin starts. While Corbin’s surface stats look improved (2-1, 3.79 ERA), Mark noted underlying issues and does not trust the Rangers’ offense against Luis Castillo, whose swing-and-miss arsenal travels well. Sharp money appeared on Texas, but Mark views that as noise given Seattle’s superior road splits and bullpen edge. He expects Castillo to neutralize the heart of the Rangers’ order and believes the Mariners’ lineup generates enough support to cash the ticket.

Bettor Mark said he is betting UNDER 0.5 total bases for Taylor Ward at a juicy +155 (Bet365), grading it as a full-unit play. Ward has failed to record even a single base in six straight games, and Mark believes the market has not adjusted. Saturday he draws red-hot Jack Flaherty, who owns a 2.80 ERA, a 30% strikeout rate and is especially tough on right-handed hitters (.189 BAA). Meanwhile, the Angels’ offense has cratered, ranking 25th in wRC+ over the past two weeks, and their bullpen is exhausted after Jansen blew another save Friday. With Ward slumping and Detroit rolling, Mark sees strong positive EV in fading the Halos’ No. 2 hitter at plus money rather than laying juice on a traditional over/under.

Bettor Mark’s second official bet is Under 4 runs in the first five innings of Astros-White Sox at ‑110 (BetMGM). He trusts Houston ace-in-waiting Hunter Brown, whose early-season form has been “nothing short of fantastic” and has him in the early Cy Young conversation. On the flip side, Chicago owns a 9-23 record, sits firmly on Mark’s fade list, and ranks near the bottom of MLB in every key offensive split. Combining Brown’s strike-throwing with the White Sox’s sputtering lineup, Mark does not expect either club to create a crooked number early. Bettors wanting extra cushion can pay up for Under 4.5 (-135 at Bet365), but Mark is comfortable living with the push risk at four.

Bettor Mark advised taking Aaron Judge over 1.5 hits at +175 on FanDuel, grading it as a half-unit official play. Judge has topped this number in seven of his last ten games (70%) and is "tearing the cover off the baseball" right now. Mark noted that prop lines are based on 162-game season averages, so they lag when a star gets scorching hot, creating value. Saturday he faces soft-tossing right-hander Zach Littell, whose balanced off-speed mix has still yielded an elevated batting average to right-handed hitters. With the game in hitter-friendly Yankee Stadium and Judge locked in, Mark expects at least two knocks despite the risk of a walk or two. He mentioned the 2.5 Hits+Runs+RBI prop (-130) as a viable alternative but prefers the bigger payout on straight hits.
