Top Player Prop Picks

1. Bryce Harper Over 1.5 Total Bases

Bryce Harper has been a key offensive contributor for the Phillies. With his ability to hit for power and get on base, Harper is a strong candidate to exceed 1.5 total bases in this game. Look for him to take advantage of the Cubs' pitching staff.

2. Cody Bellinger Over 0.5 Home Runs

Cody Bellinger has been in great form for the Cubs, and Wrigley Field's hitter-friendly dimensions could play to his advantage. He has the power to go deep, making this a solid prop bet.

3. Kyle Schwarber Over 0.5 RBIs

Kyle Schwarber has been a reliable run producer for the Phillies. With runners likely to be on base in this high-scoring matchup, Schwarber has a good chance to drive in at least one run.
