ATLANTA – Nine MLB games will take place Thursday and we’ve got you covered with the best player props to make some money betting on baseball. The first player prop comes from the Cincinnati Reds taking on the Atlanta Braves at 7:15 PM EST.

De La Cruz Missile

Elly De La Cruz has quickly become a star for the Cincinnati Reds, leading the team in RBIs so far this season. Legal sports betting sites give him +210 odds to record at least one RBI tonight

He has -125 odds to record over 1.5 total hits, runs, and RBIs tonight against the Atlanta Braves in the fourth matchup between the two teams this year.

In three games against the Braves this season, De La Cruz has recorded three hits and a run, but no RBIs.

Right handed pitcher Spencer Schwellenbach will start for Atlanta tonight. De La Cruz has hit .280 against righties with 15 RBIs so far this season and is 1-3 against Schwellenbach in his career, recording a double.

He’s also recorded three hits in his last two games, and looks to extend his hit streak to three games. Bet on De La Cruz to record at least one hit and knock in an RBI or two.

Bet The Under On Luzardo Strikeouts

Jesus Luzardo has been excellent for the Philadelphia Phillies so far, recording a 3-0 record through seven starts with a 1.94 ERA.

His line is set at just 5.5 total strikeouts for tonight’s game against the Tampa Bay Rays despite the fact that he has averaged 6.71 strikeouts per game thus far. Luzardo has averaged over six strikeouts per game in three of his last four seasons.

However, Luzardo has struggled against Tampa Bay throughout his career with an 0-3 record and an ERA of 6.20 in four starts. In those games, he recorded over six strikeouts just one time.

He most recently faced the Rays last June and allowed nine hits along with nine earned runs in that game, while striking out just two batters in four and a third innings.

Luzardo did record six strikeouts in his last outing this season, but also allowed nine hits through just five and a third innings.

Expect Luzardo to continue to struggle against the Rays and record less than 5.5 strikeouts at +105 odds, giving solid value at legal MLB betting sites.
