A's vs. Phillies Best MLB Prop Bets

Phillies Best MLB Prop Bet

Bryce Harper OVER 1.5 Hits + Runs + RBIs (-137)

Bryer Harper is red-hot. The Phillies slugger has three home runs in his last two games, going 3 for 4 in each contest.

Harper has been heating up for a while now, and it’s finally hitting season in Philadelphia. He’s been hitting third in the order, giving him plenty of opportunities to pick up runs and RBI.

A's vs. Phillies Prediction and Pick

I’m not getting in the way of this Phillies team right now, but this -175 price is a bit too steep for me to back them.

Instead, I’m looking at the UNDER 8.0 tonight. Wheeler has been great in his two starts this season, and Springs can hold his own on the mound as well.

The Phillies have had a few offensive outbursts recently, but this feels like a lower-scoring game tonight in Philadelphia.

Pick: UNDER 8 (-104)
