Top Player Prop Picks

1. Bryce Harper Over 1.5 Total Bases (+120)

widget-props-mlb-10581-5091263

Harper has been a consistent offensive force for the Phillies. With his ability to hit for power and get on base, he is a strong candidate to exceed 1.5 total bases in this game. Harper's recent form and the Nationals' pitching vulnerabilities make this a favorable prop.

2. Kyle Schwarber to Hit a Home Run (+300)

Schwarber's power at the plate is undeniable, and he has a history of success against the Nationals' pitching staff. Nationals Park is also a hitter-friendly venue, increasing the likelihood of Schwarber going deep in this matchup.

3. Josiah Gray Under 5.5 Strikeouts (-110)

Gray has struggled to consistently rack up strikeouts against disciplined lineups like the Phillies. Philadelphia's hitters are known for working counts and putting the ball in play, making the Under on Gray's strikeout total a strong play.
