All 30 MLB teams are in action for Tuesday’s busy baseball slate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Today’s MLB props narrative<\/strong>: The red-hot Minnesota Twins have won eight in a row to move over .500, and I like a pair of their players to deliver against the Baltimore Orioles tonight. I’m rounding out the night with a play on Arizona Diamondbacks starter Brandon Pfaadt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Check out the best MLB prop bets for May 13, featuring picks on Byron Buxton and Royce Lewis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Best bet: Buxton over 0.5 runs (-106)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n This is a great matchup for Twins hitters, particularly their right-handed batters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Orioles starter Cade Povich has been punished by righty bats, and Rotowire projects Minnesota to stack its lineup exclusively of RHBs and switch-hitters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Povich could be in for a long night. Righties are hitting .322\/.371\/.557 off the southpaw. He’s allowed seven homers, all of them to right-handers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n There are several props I\u2019m interested in for this game. This looks like a great option to me, and it\u2019s priced well. I have a longer-shot recommendation, too, but let’s start with Buxton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The oft-injured 31-year-old has been hitting for solid power this season, but he’s been especially dynamic against lefties and is an excellent bet to get on base in a plus matchup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Key stat:<\/strong> Buxton enters the night with a robust .346\/.370\/.692 mark vs. LHPs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Lewis over 0.5 RBI (+180):<\/strong> Sticking with the Twins, this looks like strong value for the slumping Lewis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Another injury-plagued Twin, Lewis missed all of April with a hamstring strain before a return in early May.<\/p>\n\n\n\n He proceeded to go hitless in five straight games to start the season before a two-hit game on Sunday. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The former No. 1 overall pick is likely a middle-of-the-order bat when clicking. It’s tough to say where he’ll bat tonight, but he has slotted seventh in four of his six games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Higher up and directly behind Carlos Correa would be nice (1.119 OPS vs. LHPs), but Lewis should still find himself in run-producing situations if lower in the lineup. <\/p>\n\n\n\n I have little trust in Povich or Baltimore’s bullpen (5.05 ERA), and the right-handed hitting Lewis has well-above average power (career 124 wRC+, .222 ISO).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Pfaadt over 17.5 outs (-143)<\/strong>: Pfaadt is off to a strong start, taking a 3.28 ERA and career-low walk rate into tonight’s outing vs. the San Francisco Giants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The righty is 6-2 vs. this line and cleared it in 19 of 32 starts in last year’s sophomore season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n He runs into a Giants team that’s scuffling at the dish, producing below-average offence with the fifth-highest K rate in baseball over the last two weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Some other reasons I’m bullish on the Arizona starter:<\/p>\n\n\n\n MLB prop picks made at 1:00 p.m. ET on 05\/13\/2025<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" All 30 MLB teams are in action for Tuesday’s busy baseball slate.
