Ozuna and the Braves face Phillies starter Jesus Luzardo, whose recent outings have been a rollercoaster ride.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-d0873b89-4dfa-47d6-9954-56140c451c77\">Check out the best MLB prop bets for June 28, featuring <a href=\"https:\/\/www.northstarbets.ca\/sportsbook\/news\/stats\/mlb\/cal_raleigh\/batting-stats\">Cal Raleigh<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.northstarbets.ca\/sportsbook\/news\/stats\/mlb\/jesus_sanchez\/batting-stats\">Jesus Sanchez<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"block-22b3784f-32c2-400a-beef-1578a991be49\">MLB prop bets<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-0c59b741-4781-48d8-8ffa-d93f8ee90c10\"><strong>Best bet: Raleigh over 1.5 total bases (+110)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When I see Raleigh getting plus-money odds to go over 1.5 total bases, my interest is automatically piqued. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Amid a spectacular year in which he leads MLB in home runs (32) and RBI (69), Raleigh is a serious threat to cash this prop on a nightly basis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>As a switch-hitter, he never has a platoon disadvantage. Raleigh is slugging is north of .600 from both sides of the plate.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Hard contact comes at a high clip for Raleigh. He ranks in the 98th percentile for barrel rate (20.0%) and the 97th percentile for xSLG (.583), per Baseball Savant. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Raleigh is 15-10 vs. this prop in his past 25 games, posting a 1.164 OPS in that span.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>On Saturday, he&#8217;ll face struggling right-hander Kumar Rocker, who has a 6.68 ERA in eight starts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rocker ranks in the fourth percentile or worse in xBA (.306), xERA (5.75), hard-hit rate (49.6%) and average exit velocity (91.9 mph). This is a pitcher Raleigh should be able to take advantage of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And we&#8217;ve seen it before, as Raleigh went 2-for-3 with a double in an April game that Rocker started against the Mariners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-13bf476e-3f27-4d52-86f2-70dff07fd638\"><strong>Key stat:<\/strong> On the season, Raleigh is averaging 2.4 bases\/game in 79 starts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-13bf476e-3f27-4d52-86f2-70dff07fd638\"><a href=\"cacheembed:115302\">Embed: #115302<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul id=\"block-10146156-2d6b-49a8-b097-37743fd550b5\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.northstarbets.ca\/sportsbook\/sports-hub\/baseball\/mlb?utm_source=insights&amp;utm_medium=text_link&amp;utm_term=&amp;utm_content=&amp;utm_campaign=sportsbook_mlb\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Full MLB betting markets<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.northstarbets.ca\/sportsbook\/news\/article\/mlb-injury-report?utm_source=insights&amp;utm_medium=text_link&amp;utm_term=&amp;utm_content=&amp;utm_campaign=injury_reports\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>MLB injury report<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.northstarbets.ca\/sportsbook\/news\/stats\/mlb\/top-players\/hitting\/OPS-on-base_plus_slugging?utm_source=insights&amp;utm_medium=text_link&amp;utm_term=&amp;utm_content=&amp;utm_campaign=stats_pages\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>MLB stats &amp; standings<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"block-ebade6eb-0e6a-4675-8cbc-3a4396c11ac4\">Best MLB picks<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-310bddf4-d3c1-4fc6-8fe4-37281455da02\"><strong>Sanchez over 0.5 runs (+120)<\/strong>: The Miami Marlins&#8217; offence has been cooking so far on its NL West road trip, scoring 33 runs in four games. I think that kind of outburst can continue against Brandon Pfaadt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Arizona&#8217;s starter has allowed 28 runs on 39 hits over his past 29.2 innings, which equates to an 8.49 ERA. Woof.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-310bddf4-d3c1-4fc6-8fe4-37281455da02\">Sanchez, a left-hitting outfielder, has a .783 OPS in his career against right-handed pitchers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-310bddf4-d3c1-4fc6-8fe4-37281455da02\">And lefties have an .861 OPS off Pfaadt this year, so this matchup definitely swings in Sanchez&#8217;s favour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-310bddf4-d3c1-4fc6-8fe4-37281455da02\">From the No. 2 spot in the Marlins&#8217; lineup, Sanchez should be right in the middle of the offensive action. He has scored 17 runs in his past 22 starts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-c3d59bf3-e444-470d-8383-e592fe52f10d\"><strong>Ozuna over 0.5 runs (+128)<\/strong>: Ozuna still wields a power bat in his age-34 season, but he also knows a thing or two about drawing a walk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The designated hitter has a 16.9% walk rate, which ranks in the 100th percentile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ozuna sees left-handed pitching particularly well, evidenced by his .426 on-base percentage vs. LHPs this season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Philadelphia&#8217;s Luzardo has allowed 15 runs in his past three road starts, and he&#8217;s someone Ozuna has thrived against in the past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ozuna is 5-for-13 in this head-to-head matchup with a home run, a double and a walk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-571cf986-8d14-4776-b519-20fa27d04fec\"><em>MLB prop picks made at 11:09 a.m. ET on 06\/28\/2025<\/em>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There are only a few night games on Saturday, and I&#8217;m drawing from one of them for one of my top MLB prop bets.
