Atlanta Braves stars Matt Olson and starting pitcher Spencer Strider headline Tuesday’s top MLB prop picks.
Today’s MLB props narrative: Strider carved up the rival New York Mets in his last start and I expect the strikeout artist to have success again tonight. He should get help from the hot-hitting Olson, who will enjoy a plus matchup against Strider’s counterpart.
Check out the best MLB prop bets for June 24.
MLB prop bets
Best bet: Olson over 1.5 total bases (+105)
The power-hitting Braves first baseman has been on a tear and has a juicy matchup at Citi Field.
Frankie Montas makes his first start of the season for the Mets and is impossible to trust after a disastrous rehab assignment.
Montas, recovering from a lat injury, made six starts in the minors, pitching to a 12.05 ERA.
- He only generated 10 strikeouts in 18.2 innings while walking 10.
- Montas’ last two Triple-A outings were particularly brutal, allowing 13 runs on 14 hits.
Olson is batting .296/.427/.535 in June with three homers and eight doubles.
Recently hitting out of the No. 2 spot, Olson’s runs scored prop (-130) has soared and he’s no longer in the best run-producing spot.
Getting plus money on his total bases prop is the way to go.
Key stat: Olson has a 1.003 OPS over the last 15 days.
Best MLB picks
Strider over 6.5 Ks (-120): The Braves ace is coming off back-to-back dominant outings, shaking a bumpy and injury-impacted start to his season.
He silenced the Mets over six innings in his last start, allowing one run on five hits with eight strikeouts.
The start before that: 13 Ks vs. the Rockies over six scoreless frames.
- Strider generated a whopping 40 swinging strikes over the two starts.
- Fourteen of his fastest 20 pitches this season came in those outings.
Strider missed nearly all of 2024 due to Tommy John, but had far and away the best K rate (37.4%) among starters from 2022-23.
He’s not quite at that level yet, but is in the 87th percentile with a 94th-percentile whiff rate.
Strider is too good to pass up on this line.
