⚾ MLB Value Games & Prop Picks
Diamondbacks @ Rockies – 8:40 PM ET (Coors Field)
This one’s a hitter’s paradise. Coors Field ranks #1 in park factors for boosting batting average and home runs, and tonight’s weather only adds fuel: 89 degrees, high humidity, and 10 mph wind blowing left to right. That’s a recipe for barrels.
Ryne Nelson takes the mound for Arizona with a solid 3.46 ERA and 1.06 WHIP over his last three starts. He’s facing Chase Dollander, who’s struggled with a 6.35 ERA and a 10.8% walk rate. Arizona’s lineup has been hot, especially Jake McCarthy, who holds a platoon edge against Colorado’s bullpen.
Best Prop: Jake McCarthy Over 1.5 Total Bases (+100)
He’s seeing the ball well and gets favorable matchups all game. At even money, this is a sharp play.
Bonus Edge: Ryne Nelson F5 Moneyline (-180)
Arizona’s early-game dominance and Nelson’s control make this a strong lean.

Yankees @ Cardinals – 7:15 PM ET (Busch Stadium)
Max Fried is dialed in. Over his last three starts, he’s posted a 2.80 ERA, 1.01 WHIP, and elite strikeout-to-walk ratio. The Cardinals have struggled against lefties, and Fried’s swing-and-miss stuff should play well.
Best Prop: Max Fried Over 5.5 Strikeouts (+126)
Dimers projects Fried to hit 6+ Ks, and STL’s 24% K rate vs LHP backs it up. At plus money, this is a value grab.
Bonus Prop: Alec Burleson Over 1.5 Total Bases (+135)
He’s quietly crushing lefties and could sneak in a double or multi-hit game.
---
Tampa Bay @ Kansas City – 7:10 PM ET
Junior Caminero is on a tear—batting .458 with 5 homers and 8 RBIs over the last week. KC’s pitching has been soft, and tonight’s 92-degree weather with wind blowing out gives hitters a boost.
Best Prop: Junior Caminero Over 1.5 Total Bases (+100)
He’s locked in and facing a hittable arm. This is a momentum play with upside.

π° MLB Value Parlay (3-Leg)
• Ryne Nelson F5 ML
• Junior Caminero Over 1.5 TB
• Alec Burleson Over 0.5 Hits
Payout: +420 (approx)
This combo leans on strong matchups, hot bats, and pitcher control. Great for bettors looking to stretch a single unit into a multi-leg win.

π NFL Preseason Props & Edges
Jets vs Giants – 7:00 PM ET (MetLife Stadium)
Justin Fields is expected to start for the Jets, and while it’s preseason, his rushing upside is real. Giants WR Elijah Cooks is questionable, which could limit NYG’s vertical game.
Best Prop: Justin Fields Over 550.5 Rushing Yards (Season Futures)
Swish Analytics projects him closer to 700 yards. If he stays healthy, this line is soft.
Bonus Prop: Darius Cooper Over 26.5 Receiving Yards (Preseason)
He led the team in routes and targets last week. If he gets similar usage, this number is beatable.
---
Eagles vs Browns – 1:00 PM ET
Jalen Hurts remains a rushing TD machine. With the “tush push” still legal and Philly’s elite O-line, he’s a lock for goal-line work.
Best Prop: Jalen Hurts Over 10.5 Rushing TDs (Season Futures)
He’s hit 13+ in each of the last three seasons. DraftEdge and Ballpark Pal simulations show this line is undervalued.
---
π° NFL Value Parlay (3-Leg)
• Justin Fields Over 550.5 Rush Yds
• Jalen Hurts Over 10.5 Rush TDs
• Darius Cooper Over 26.5 Rec Yds
Payout: +390 (approx)
This parlay blends preseason opportunity with season-long upside. Great for bettors who want action now and value later.

π§ Prop Betting 101 (For New Readers)
• Player Props: Bet on individual stats like hits, strikeouts, or yards.
• Game Props: Bet on team totals, innings, or quarters.
• Plus-Money: Odds above +100 mean bigger payouts—but also more risk.
• Edge: When projections show a better chance of success than the odds suggest.
