The Dodgers are 5-0 and flying high as they open their series this week against the Braves. Atlanta is trending the other way, opening the season with a four-game road sweep by the hands of the Padres. The Braves are starting fifth starter Grant Holmes, while the Dodgers are giving the ball to Tyler Glasnow for his first start of the season. It looks like a smash spot for Los Angeles, so how should we approach Tyler Glasnow props on DraftKings Sportsbook?
Here are my best Glasnow prop bets for Monday night’s matchup against Atlanta.
Best Tyler Glasnow Props Bets on DraftKings Sportsbook
Tyler Glasnow to record a win (+175)
It’s impressive that the Dodgers are undefeated without Glasnow even throwing a pitch. He looked very strong in Spring Training, giving up just two earned runs over his last three starts with 17 strikeouts over 10 innings. He didn’t get a win in spring training but went 9-6 in his 22 starts last year with a 3.49 ERA, 2.90 FIP and 11.3 K/9.
Last season, he faced the Braves one time back on May 4, going seven innings with 10 strikeouts and earning a victory in a game the Dodgers cruised to an 11-2 win.
The Dodgers had yesterday off and should have a well-rested bullpen to back him up, and their offense has already been in great form. Lots can go wrong and earning a win is tough, but getting Glasnow to win his first start of the season at such favorable odds makes this my top Glasnow prop on the board.
Tyler Glasnow 8+ strikeouts (+155)
In his last spring training start, he had nine strikeouts last Monday against the Angels in five innings while giving up just two hits. He should be fairly stretched out and ready to go his typical length in this start, and since he has recorded eight or more strikeouts in each of his last three appearances against the Braves, I love getting this at plus-money.
Atlanta racked up 36 strikeouts in their first four games (9.0 K/9) for a 26.1% K% on the season, which is the seventh-highest in the MLB so far in their tiny sample size.
My only concern is that the Dodgers sometimes lift their starters early, which could keep him under this total. I like taking him to get the win a little better, but this is a juicy strikeout prop to attack as well since the Braves have struggled so much this season.
