Ginn\u2019s career numbers vs. lefty batters: .336\/.402\/.588.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Seager is batting a blistering .350\/.451\/.617 in July, clearing this number in 11 of 16 games.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He pounds righties (.875 OPS this year; .944 in 2024; 1.075 in 2023) and will see one of MLB\u2019s worst bullpens following Ginn.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Athletics relievers sport the second-worst ERA (5.43) in baseball and the fourth-highest opponent\u2019s batting average.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-310bddf4-d3c1-4fc6-8fe4-37281455da02\"><strong>Neto over 0.5 runs (-108)<\/strong>: I love this line for Neto, the Los Angeles Angels&#8217; leadoff hitter who&#8217;s on a heater and tied for fourth in the AL in runs scored.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Angels are smashing the ball (first in wRC+ the last 30 days), putting the 24-year-old in front of all of the club&#8217;s dangerous power bats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Neto has scored 19 runs in 17 games this month, crossing the plate in 11 different contests. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Even more impressive: Shohei Ohtani is the only player in baseball to score in a greater percentage of his starts this season.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Neto is batting .307 this month and getting on base at a .373 clip \u2014 his best marks of the season. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>His Angels see the New York Mets&#8217; Frankie Montas, who has made four starts, pitching well in two and awful in the others. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Montas will have his moments, but he&#8217;s far from a pitcher to shy away from on this plus-money offering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-571cf986-8d14-4776-b519-20fa27d04fec\"><em>MLB prop picks made at 2:41 p.m. ET on 07\/22\/2025<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A fade on Arizona Diamondbacks starter Eduardo Rodriguez highlights Tuesday&#8217;s top MLB prop selections.
