Top Player Prop Picks

1. Francisco Lindor Over 1.5 Total Bases (+120)

Lindor has been a key contributor for the Mets, and his ability to generate extra-base hits makes this prop appealing. Facing a Pirates pitching staff that has struggled to contain opposing hitters, Lindor is in a prime position to exceed this line.

2. Pete Alonso to Hit a Home Run (+300)

Alonso's power at the plate is undeniable, and he has been a consistent threat in the Mets' lineup. With favorable conditions at Citi Field and a matchup against a vulnerable Pirates pitching rotation, Alonso is a strong candidate to go deep in this game.

3. Mitch Keller Over 5.5 Strikeouts (-110)

Keller has been a bright spot for the Pirates' rotation, and his ability to rack up strikeouts has been impressive. Despite the Mets' strong offense, Keller's strikeout potential makes this prop worth considering.
