One slugger and one starting pitcher make up today’s MLB prop bets<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pregame narrative<\/strong>: Sunday equals another getaway day in the majors but the lighter schedule still provides two prop bets. Firstly, I’m backing Francisco Lindor to score a run while also expecting Bryan Woo to have a strong start against the San Francisco Giants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Find out why in the best MLB prop bets<\/a> for Aug. 25.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Best bet: Lindor over 0.5 runs (-121)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Embed: #92595<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Mets’ slugger has quietly been on a heater in August. Since the start of the month, Lindor is batting .340 with 18 runs scored in 22 games played.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is also a matchup I feel that he can exploit. In 22 plate appearances against Martin Perez, Lindor reached base 12 times (seven hits, five walks). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since he hits out of the leadoff spot for the New York Mets, getting on base would mean ample opportunities for the big bats to drive him in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Earlier in the season, Perez had a start against the Mets in which he was decent (5.2 innings pitched, six hits, three earned runs) but Lindor still managed to go 2-for-4 and score a run in the process. That led his team to a 6-3 win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He was also hitting third in the order at that point of the season and wasn’t on the hot streak that he is right now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key stat<\/strong>: Lindor has reached base seven times, leading to four runs scored, across the first three games of the Padres’ series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quick pick<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Woo over 6.5 strikeouts (+125)<\/strong>:<\/a> I’m backing a strong arm and fading the Giants’ offence here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Embed: #92601<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Woo is having a fantastic second MLB season. He’s currently boasting a 5-2 record with a 2.12 ERA and a 0.83 WHIP. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

His 2.9% walk rate and 2.1% barrel rate both sit inside the 99th percentile, per Baseball Savant. That shows his incredible ability to keep hitters off the basepath.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s also the reason he’s able to get deep into ball games (six-plus innings pitched in each of his last four starts). Going late into this game would mean more potential batters to send packing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The downfall here would be that Woo hasn’t been an elite strikeout artist this season (6.8 K\/9) but things have been better lately and I think he has the matchup here to run up the Ks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Across those four previously mentioned starts in August, his K\/9 has been much better (8.0). That includes starts against the Dodgers (five Ks) and the Phillies (six Ks).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

San Fran ranks worse than both of those teams in strikeouts per game (8.7). That number also elevates when the side plays on the road (9.5).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Giants are hitting .235 against righties with a 24.5% strikeout rate. I think Woo is in store for a strong outing this evening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
