Blue Jays vs. Royals Best MLB Prop Bets

Blue Jays Best MLB Prop Bet

• George Springer OVER 1.5 Bases (-104)

George Springer has raised his batting average by 23 points in the last few weeks, going 20 for 47 (.426) with two home runs and six doubles in his last 14 games. The Blue Jays slugger has gone OVER 1.5 bases in all but five of those games, including five of his last six.

Springer is also 3 for 8 in his career against Lynch.

Blue Jays vs. Royals Prediction and Pick

I’m expecting a lot of runs tonight in Kansas City.

Neither starting pitcher is all that impressive, and I don’t see either of them completing more than four innings or so. And then you have Kansas City’s bullpen with a 5.06 ERA, the second-highest in the league.

Both teams should put up a handful of runs tonight in Kansas City.

Pick: OVER 10 (-105)
