MLB player prop bets for Thursday, June 23

Amed Rosario, Under 1.5 hits (-150)

You will rarely see a great payout betting on a hitter to not record multiple hits in a game, but there is enough value in this number to place the wager on the Cleveland Guardians shortstop to not reach 2 hits on Thursday afternoon. He is coming off a 4-hit performance last night, but he hadn’t finished with multiple hits in any of the five games before that. Rosario will face Minnesota Twins left-handed starter Devin Smeltzer, and Rosario has a slightly worse batting average (.267) against lefties.

Kyle Freeland, Under 4.5 strikeouts (-135)

The Colorado Rockies starter will face the Miami Marlins lineup that strikes out 9 times per game, which is the sixth most in the MLB, but Freeland’s strikeout numbers are extremely low. He has a 5.9 K/9 and struck out 3 or less batters in each of his last four starts.

Brendan Donovan, Over 1.5 total bases (+125)

The St. Louis Cardinals infielder has put together a strong start to his MLB career with a .316 batting average and .422 on-base percentage as a rookie in 2022. Donovan was out of the lineup yesterday, though he made a pinch-hit appearance, and he will face Milwaukee Brewers starter Jason Alexander, who has allowed at least 7 hits in his first four MLB games.
