Top Player Prop Picks

1. Over 1.5 Total Bases for Cody Bellinger

Bellinger has been a key contributor for the Cubs this season, and his ability to generate extra-base hits makes this prop appealing. Facing a Marlins pitching staff that has struggled against left-handed hitters, Bellinger is well-positioned to exceed this line.

2. Over 5.5 Strikeouts for Justin Steele

Steele has been a strikeout machine for the Cubs, consistently racking up Ks against weaker lineups. The Marlins' offense has been prone to strikeouts, making this a strong play for Steele to hit the over.

3. Over 0.5 RBIs for Dansby Swanson

Swanson has been a reliable run producer for the Cubs, and with the Marlins' pitching staff struggling, he has a good chance to drive in at least one run in this game.
