MLB Player Props Today
Brayan Bello Over/Under 4.5 Strikeouts
Jazz Chisholm Over/Under 1.5 Hits + Runs + RBIs
Jesus Sanchez Over/Under 1.5 Hits + Runs + RBIs
Brayan Bello OVER 4.5 Strikeouts (-120), BetMGM
Brayan Bello doesn’t have overpowering stuff on the mound, but he has a dream matchup against a weak-hitting Miami Marlins lineup. Across the last 14 days, Miami’s offense ranks 27th in contact% on pitches in the zone and 23rd in contact% on pitches out of the zone. No team in baseball has been falling behind in counts more consistently than the Marlins of late, which bodes well for Bello in this spot.
It doesn’t hurt that the pitcher-friendly Nick Mahrley will be calling balls and strikes in this contest. Bello ranks 35th out of 129 starting pitchers (min. 50 IP) in called strike% in 2024. If he can consistently get ahead with strike one this evening, he should have every opportunity to get the job done here.
Jazz Chisholm OVER 1.5 Hits + Runs + RBIs (-105), DraftKings
If there is any concern for Brayan Bello, it’s against the two left-handed batters near the top of the Miami lineup. This season, Bello has allowed a .283 batting average to left-handed batters, leading to a 1.66 WHIP and 5.92 FIP across the platoon. Jazz Chisholm isn’t having an elite season, by any means, but his 8.5 BB% and .745 OPS against RHP are both serviceable out of the leadoff spot. This play doesn’t contradict the strikeout play in any way, with Bello probably needing to get the majority of those strikeouts against right-handed batters anyway, given his splits.
Jesus Sanchez OVER 1.5 Hits + Runs + RBIs (-105), DraftKings
Similar to Jazz Chisholm, Jesus Sanchez has a good matchup against Brayan Bello, especially if he finds himself in the cleanup spot once again. Sanchez owns a .737 OPS against RHP in 2024 and is more than due for some opportunities to drive in a run or two. He has only 1 RBI in his last 24 plate appearances but had 5 RBI in his previous 21 plate appearances before that. There are a lot of ways for him to clear this market number on Wednesday.
