Marlins vs. Diamondbacks Best MLB Prop Bets
Diamondbacks Best MLB Prop Bet
- Gabriel Moreno OVER 1.5 Bases (+120)
Gabriel Moreno stayed hot last night with a 2-for-4 game, including a home run, and now has a modest six-game hitting streak.
Moreno has a hit in 10 of his last 11 games, going 15 for 43 (.349) with three home runs and two doubles in that span, helping him to OVER 1.5 bases in eight of those 11 contests.
Marlins vs. Diamondbacks Prediction and Pick
Both of these pitchers have been solid as of late, and they combined for 10 innings of two-run ball in Miami back in a June series. Gusto allowed three hits in four scoreless innings on June 11, and Kelly threw six two-run frames the next day.
While the first game of this series was an 8-7 barnburner, it was a 1-1 game through nine innings last night before a few runs were scored in extra innings.
Three of the last four meetings have now gone UNDER the total, and I’ll back that to continue tonight.
Pick: UNDER 8.5 (-112)
