Rangers vs. Tigers Best MLB Prop Bets

Rangers Best MLB Prop Bet

Josh Jung OVER 1.5 Hits + Runs + RBIs (-115)

It’s taken a few years, but Josh Jung might finally be living up to his potential. The former top prospect is batting .317 with a .925 OPS through 28 games, which is well over his career .260 average and .740 OPS.

The third baseman has 12 runs scored and 17 RBI as well, which has helped him go OVER 1.5 HRR in 63% of his games this season.

Jung has gone OVER 1.5 HRR in two straight games, eight of his last nine, and 11 of his last 13 contests. He’s been moving up the lineup for the Rangers, giving him plenty of opportunities to rack up the runs and RBI.

Rangers vs. Tigers Prediction and Pick

Neither of these teams has played particularly well recently, especially when it comes to scoring runs.

The Rangers have scored four runs or fewer in each of their last six games, totalling just 13 runs in that span. The Tigers have been a bit better with 28 runs in their last six games, but 16 of those came in two contests.

While I don’t have a ton of confidence in either pitcher, neither team has been able to score runs with consistency this season. I’ll take the UNDER tonight at a pitcher-friendly Comerica Park.

Pick: UNDER 8 (-115)
