Top Player Prop Picks

1. Nick Pivetta Over 6.5 Strikeouts

Pivetta has been dominant this season, boasting a 1.57 ERA and consistently racking up strikeouts. Against a Tigers lineup that has shown vulnerability to strikeouts, Pivetta is well-positioned to exceed this line.

2. Jack Flaherty Under 2.5 Earned Runs

Flaherty has been effective with a 2.53 ERA and has allowed fewer than 3 earned runs in 3 of his last 4 starts. Facing a Padres lineup that has struggled to produce runs in recent games, this prop offers value.

3. Total Runs Under 7.5

With two strong pitchers on the mound and both teams trending towards low-scoring games, the UNDER is a solid play. The total has gone UNDER in 4 of the last 5 meetings between these teams, further supporting this pick.
