The Phillies and Braves are off to opposite starts to the 2025 season. Philadelphia is 8-3 while the Braves are 2-9. The NL East rivals are both expected to compete for the division title this season along with the New York Mets.
Tonight’s game will be the third game of this early-season series as each team has won a game thus far. The winner of tonight’s game will win the series. Jesus Luzardo will be on the mound for the Phillies, while Spencer Schwellenbach gets the start for the Braves.
The Phillies are +105 underdogs on the moneyline, and the game total is set at over 7.5 runs on DraftKings Sportsbook.
Below I have featured my favorite Bryce Harper prop bets to consider from tonight’s contest.
Best Bryce Harper Prop Bets on DraftKings Sportsbook
Bryce Harper over 1.5 Hits + Runs + RBIs (-120)
Harper enters tonight’s game on a four-game hit streak as he’s gotten his average up to .279. He’s totaled 12 hits this season and has at least one in nine of 11 games.
It’s almost a certainty that Harper will get at least one base hit, which is why his over/under hits prop is listed at 0.5 for -225. Instead, bettors can look at the over 1.5 hits + runs + RBIs prop line which is valued at -120. It’s a much better price without taking on significant risk.
Harper has seven runs and five RBIs this season to go along with his 12 hits. Two of those hits are home runs, which clears this prop bet on its own. He’s hit this prop bet in six of the 11 games he’s played this season.
The two-time MVP should be in line to make tonight his seventh game with over 1.5 hits + runs + RBIs as he faces the Braves on the road. He’s cleared it in three straight games, including both contests against the Braves and one against the Dodgers.
Atlanta is starting Spencer Schwellenbach tonight. The second-year pitcher is pitching well to begin the season, throwing for two scoreless starts of six and eight innings. He is, however, an inexperienced pitcher that will be going against one of the best lineups in baseball.
Harper, one of the most experienced hitters in MLB, will likely take advantage of the youngster. The two have faced off for six plate appearances, all of which came last year, and Harper tallied three hits and one strikeout.
It’s a very small sample size, but Harper should continue the trend against the second-year starter. Getting a base hit should be the easy part for Harper, it’ll be driving in a run or scoring himself that’ll be a slight challenge.
Still, it shouldn’t be overly difficult. Harper has scored four runs and in the past three games. He should continue to be on his A-game tonight as the Phillies look for the series win over their NL East rivals.
