His .268 xBA ranks in Baseball Savant&#8217;s 19th percentile while his 5.9% walk rate ranks in the 82nd percentile. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"block-479767b6-5872-497b-ac44-239c07c7e3d5\">The righty doesn&#8217;t issue a lot of free passes and also doesn&#8217;t strike out many batters (17th percentile K rate). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"block-479767b6-5872-497b-ac44-239c07c7e3d5\">That means Bohm should have plenty of opportunities to put the ball in play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Key stat<\/strong>: Bohm is 3-for-4 with two doubles against Nelson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"block-fa134a48-a478-432b-95e0-66881f0d337b\">Quick picks<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>De La Cruz to score (+107):<\/strong> I also took this bet yesterday and it also cashed with ease. De La Cruz went 3-for-5 (with a walk) and scored two runs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"cacheembed:91093\">Embed: #91093<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Reaching base safely four times is music to my ears and that&#8217;s the third time he&#8217;s done so in the past four games. De La Cruz has scored seven runs and has a .619 OBP in that span.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With numbers like that, why wouldn&#8217;t I run it back?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The 22-year-old phenom gets to go up against Aaron Civale, who has been a mess since joining the Milwaukee Brewers at the trade deadline. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Civale has a 5.40 ERA and 5.70 FIP in five starts with Milwaukee. De La Cruz is slashing .298\/.375\/.575 vs. RHPs this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Olson over 1.5 bases (-103):<\/strong> Olson finished fourth in NL MVP voting last year after blasting an MLB-best 54 home runs with a .604 SLG.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"cacheembed:91106\">Embed: #91106<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The 30-year-old&#8217;s production has fallen off a cliff this season (18 HR, .414 SLG) but this is a nice spot to back him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Coors Field profiles as the most hitter-friendly park according to Baseball Savant&#8217;s MLB park factors. But you don&#8217;t need analytics to figure that out. Denver&#8217;s high altitude means the ball goes further.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Rockies are starting rookie Tanner Gordon (6.75 ERA), who gave up eight hits, five earned runs, and two home runs in his only home start this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Picks made at 10:07 a.m. ET on 08\/09\/2024.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A trio of hitters are in the spotlight for today&#8217;s MLB prop bets.
