Boston Red Sox star Rafael Devers headlines Tuesday’s top MLB prop picks.
Today’s MLB props narrative: Devers is on a tear this month and will enjoy a platoon advantage tonight, making his hits/runs/RBI prop a juicy play against the Milwaukee Brewers.
Check out the best MLB prop bets for May 27, featuring predictions on Ranger Suarez and Max Meyer.
MLB prop bets
Best Bet: Devers over 1.5 hits/runs/RBI (-106)
Devers and the Red Sox see the Brewers’ Aaron Civale on the road Tuesday night.
The right-handed Civale is making his third start after beginning the season on the injured list with a hamstring strain.
Civale doesn’t have big platoon splits, but Devers does, making him an ideal target for me.
Devers’ career stats against righties and lefties:
- Vs. RHPs: .286/.359/.554
- Vs. LHPs: .268/.325/.421
The designated hitter’s early-season slump is well behind him, too.
Devers is up to a .943 OPS, which includes a robust .375/.486/.670 slash line in May.
Also, he has cashed this bet in 19 of his past 32 games.
The 28-year-old isn’t hitting nearly as well on the road, but I like the spot against a high-contact pitcher and a Brewers bullpen that ranks 24th in ERA.
Key stat: Devers’ .312 ISO vs. RHPs is the fifth-best mark in MLB.
Best MLB picks
Meyer over 4.5 Ks (-118): The Miami Marlins right-hander has a tough assignment against the San Diego Padres, but this is a light line that Meyer has regularly hit.
Meyer’s ability to soak innings helps, too.
- The 26-year-old is 7-3 against this number, working at least 5.2 innings seven times.
- He has 75th-percentile K and whiff rates, striking out batters at a well-above-average clip.
- Meyer has been hit hard in May, yet still averaged 5.3 Ks in his last three starts.
San Diego will be a challenge, as the club has the third-lowest K rate in MLB.
But the Padres have been susceptible to striking out lately, posting the 10th-highest K% over the last two weeks.
The last four starters to face the Padres have cleared this number.
Suarez under 17.5 outs (+110): The Philadelphia Phillies’ southpaw has been sharp but is worth fading against a dangerous Atlanta Braves team.
Atlanta recently got back Ronald Acuna Jr., who leads a powerful foursome in Atlanta’s lineup, hitting in front of Austin Riley, Marcell Ozuna and Matt Olson.
Suarez has topped this line in three straight, but the last two were against the inept Colorado Rockies and Pittsburgh Pirates.
And he failed to hit the 50% mark a season ago.
The Braves enter with a 119 wRC+ over the last two weeks (sixth in MLB).
Getting this at plus money screams value.
