But the ingredients are all there for Turner tonight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>He&#8217;s swinging a hot stick, batting .368 over his past 20 games. Turner has 11 multi-hit games in that span.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Rockies starter Antonio Senzatela (1-7, 6.39 ERA) has really been going through it. He&#8217;s allowing 8.2 hits per start this year.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Technically, Senzatela has a platoon advantage in this righty-on-righty matchup. But he has allowed a .366 BA and 1.073 OPS to right-hitting opponents this year, so &#8230; the advantage definitely falls to Turner.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Turner is 7-for-15 with a double against Senzatela. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, Turner has a 36th-percentile walk rate (7.0%), so I&#8217;m not super worried about him foiling this pick with any free passes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Key stat:<\/strong> In eight pro outings this year (six at the Triple-A level), Henderson has 5+ Ks in all eight games and 6+ Ks in six games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Best MLB picks<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Herrera over 0.5 hits (-154):<\/strong> The sample is still tiny, but Herrera has been superb for the Cardinals this year and should be well worth a juiced-up price like this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>23-for-54 (.426) batting on the season<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>1+ hits in 9 of 9 games this month<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>.324 xBA<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>.655 xSLG<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Reigning AL Cy Young winner Tarik Skubal is on the mound for Detroit, and I don&#8217;t expect him to make things easy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But Herrera has an .822 career OPS against lefties, and one hit from the right-hitting catcher\/designated hitter shouldn&#8217;t be too much of an ask.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>MLB prop picks made at 11:40 a.m. ET on 05\/20\/2025<\/em>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Trea Turner is the headliner of Tuesday&#8217;s MLB prop bets, featured alongside one lesser-known player.
