Tigers vs. Padres Best MLB Prop Bets
Padres Best MLB Prop Bet
- Xander Bogaerts OVER 1.5 Hits + Runs + RBIs (-111)
Xander Bogaerts started the season strong with two hits, including an RBI double, on Thursday.
He hit in the two hole between Fernando Tatis Jr. and Manny Machado in that one, and he should be back there tonight against another southpaw. The veteran shortstop is 4 for 14 with a double against Valdez in his career.
Bogaerts has been much better vs. LHP (.302 average, .840 OPS) than vs. RHP (.282, .781) in his career, and that continued last season. He also hit .272 at home and .254 on the road last year.
Tigers vs. Padres Prediction and Pick
Nick Pivetta didn’t give the Padres much of a chance yesterday, walking in a run to start off a four-run first inning for Detroit. I don’t see King doing that again tonight.
San Diego was an impressive 52-29 at home last season, while Detroit went 41-40 on the road despite finishing 87-75.
I’ll back the Padres to get their first win of the season on Friday night.
Pick: Padres moneyline (-126)
