Two of the best teams in the MLB, the Los Angeles Dodgers and the San Diego Padres, will face off in the second of a three-game series. LA won last night’s game 8-7 in the 10th inning. Tonight, the Padres look to get revenge at 9:40 p.m. ET.
Here is my favorite prop bet for Machado against his former team, the Dodgers. Machado has had a great year, with a .320 batting average,10 home runs, and 34 RBIs.
Manny Machado over 1.5 Hits + Runs + RBIs (-145)
Even though Machado is batting .320, he has turned it up a level in June. Machado has hit 14 hits, four home runs, and nine RBIs while batting .389 in nine games. He has recorded more than 1.5 hits, runs, and RBIs in five straight games and seven of nine contests in June.
You can get Machado to reach this mark on DraftKings Sportsbook at -145. Machado has surpassed this total in six of his last 10 matchups against the Dodgers.
Although the Dodgers do not have a confirmed starting pitcher for tonight’s game, Matt Sauer is expected to start. Sauer has a 3.05 ERA this season and has pitched 20.2 innings. Machado finished last night’s game with two hits, one run, and one RBI.
A big part of Machado’s recent hot streak has been his power. He has hit three home runs in the last five games and four HRs this month. Machado has matched his May total in home runs in 15 fewer games. When he is hitting home runs at this rate, Machado is one of the most dangerous hitters in baseball. Getting Machado to record more than 1.5 hits + runs + RBIs is an excellent play considering the run he is on.
