Diamondbacks vs. Guardians Best MLB Prop Bets

Guardians Best MLB Prop Bet

• Tanner Bibee OVER 17.5 Outs (-150)

Tanner Bibee worked through some struggles in the beginning of the year to get where he is now. He’s consistently completed six innings recently, going OVER 17.5 outs in three straight starts, five of six, eight of 10, and 11 of his last 14 starts.

The Diamondbacks haven’t shown that they can get to starting pitchers early too often this season.

Diamondbacks vs. Guardians Prediction and Pick

I broke down this pick in SI Betting’s daily MLB best bets column, Walk-Off Wagers:

The Guardians got back on track this week, splitting a doubleheader and then winning the series in Cincinnati on Wednesday. They’re now back at home after a day off.

Tanner Bibee has tossed three straight quality starts for Cleveland, while Mitch Bratt yielded five runs in as many innings in his last outing for Arizona.

The Guardians have been great vs. left-handed pitching this season, going 22-14 vs. LHP compared to 34-40 vs. RHP. On top of that, Arizona is only 26-30 on the road.

Pick: Guardians -141
