Best bet: Judge over 1.5 total bases (+102)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Embed: #95201<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

September has been Judge’s worst statistical month since April but he’s ending strong.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The soon-to-be AL MVP winner is batting .368 and slugging .789 over the last seven days. Over the last 15, he has a .966 OPS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Only Bobby Witt Jr. and Shohei Ohtani have a greater percentage of games with two-plus total bases this season, according to Team Rankings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Judge is hard to get at plus\/even money on this prop, so I’m always tempted to bite when I see him in this price range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The star outfielder leads the majors with 53 homers, is second to Ohtani with 89 extra-base hits and is third in batting average.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Judge will start his night by seeing unspectacular Athletics righty JT Ginn before presumably getting at-bats against an Oakland bullpen that has a 4.93 ERA this month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key stat<\/strong>: Opponents are hitting .317\/.356\/.500 off Ginn over his four MLB starts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quick picks<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Altuve over 1.5 total bases (+108):<\/strong> I was in on this Altuve prop last night but he was out of the Astros’ lineup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Embed: #95204<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m going back to it tonight and actually like it even more. Altuve is hitting .323 with an .834 OPS this month, recording 20 hits in 15 games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His Astros see Los Angeles Angels lefty Tyler Anderson, who has allowed four-plus runs in four of his last six starts to drive up his ERA to a season-high 3.60.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Altuve has done well in this matchup before. The second baseman is batting .391 and slugging .565 in his career versus Anderson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What I like most, though, is that he’s only struck out once over 25 plate appearances and should be able to put the ball in play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bregman over 0.5 RBI (+155):<\/strong> I love a lot of Astros props tonight so it’s about sifting through for value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Embed: #95205<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m leaving Yordan Alvarez and Kyle Tucker props on the chopping block because they encounter the lefty-lefty matchup and Anderson is holding LHBs to a .211 average.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But they are far from fade candidates for me and I believe Alvarez, at least, can help Bregman cash this. Same with Altuve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bregman will likely bat behind the two in a run-producing spot. The third baseman has hit No. 4 or 5 in the order in 10 of 13 games this month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like Altuve, Bregman has enjoyed success against Anderson, hitting .294\/.458\/.765 with two homers and one strikeout in 24 plate appearances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
