Best Friday MLB player prop picks:
Shohei Ohtani, Dodgers, Over 1.5 total bases (-135)
Ohtani is only three games away from matching the MLB record for consecutive games with a home run, and the Green Monster offers him an opportunity to extend that streak on Friday night. He has already hit a pair of long home runs toward left field this week, so he can bring that same approach to Boston. Ohtani is batting .273 with 37 homers and 12 doubles. The model has him recording 2.1 total bases on Friday, so this is a prop to target.
Riley Greene, Tigers, Over 0.5 RBI (+155)
Greene leads Detroit with 25 homers and 79 RBI this season, and he has hit safely in four of his last five games. He had the day off on Wednesday before going 2-for-4 at the dish on Thursday. The 24-year-old has a pair of hits in nine plate appearances against Blue Jays starting pitcher Jose Berrios, who is 6-4 with a 3.87 ERA. Greene is finishing with 0.7 RBI in the model’s latest simulations.
Juan Soto, Mets, Over 0.5 total bases (-190)
New York is on a four-game winning streak entering Friday’s series opener in San Francisco, despite Soto going hitless in four of his last five games. He has 24 homers and 15 doubles this season though, so he should get back on track on Friday. Soto has 91 hits in 102 games, making him a reliable performer when it comes to this prop. The model has him notching 1.8 total bases, creating plenty of wiggle room at the line of 0.5.
