MLB Picks Today: MLB Player Props & MLB Predictions Today 09/12

⭐ Astros -1.5 (-130) at BetMGM

It’s no secret that most Astros vs. Athletics predictions will end with the Astros winning, as Oakland is easily the worst team in baseball. They score just 3.69 runs per game, and they have JP Sears on the mound today, who has a 4-11 record through 28 starts and a 4.51 ERA. He’s allowed 17 runs over his last five starts, and he’s going up against Justin Verlander. 

Verlander is 11-7 on the year with a 3.23 ERA and has gotten beaten up lately, allowing seven runs over his last two starts. We are targeting Astros -1.5 (-130) at BetMGM. 

Still, this is Verlander against an atrocious offense, while Sears has struggled this season and a bit recently. 

This is a no-brainer. Take the Astros against the run line for our best MLB bets today.

⭐ Zack Littell Over 3.5 Strikeouts (-162) at FanDuel

We took a chance on a Rays vs. Twins prediction yesterday, focusing on the MLB player props for Tyler Glasnow getting nine or more strikeouts. Well, he finished with eight, and we came up short.

So, naturally, we’re back to this matchup here, this time targeting the strikeouts of Rays starter Zack Littell, and we like Littell over 3.5 Strikeouts (-162) at FanDuel.

The Twins strikeout the most times per game in the league at more than 10, and Littell has a line of just 3.5 here. He’s gone over that total in four of his last five starts.

Take the over here for our best MLB bets today.

⭐ Javier Assad Over 2.5 Earned Runs (-164) at Caesars

Heading into this Rockies vs. Cubs prediction, Chicago sends Javier Asad to the mound. He’s had just eight starts this season with 26 total games played. He’s 3-3 with a 2.83 ERA. While he’s had some nice performances starting, they’re certainly a lot different than his other more limited/relief appearances. 

We’re focusing on some of his MLB props here today. We like Javier Assad over 2.5 earned runs (-164) at Caesars.

He's allowed eight earned runs over his last five appearances, which have all been starts. He’s had a couple of excellent outings in there against the Cincinnati Reds and Pittsburgh Pirates. 

He’s taking on the Rockies in Colorado, a place notorious for letting the ball fly. 

Over that five-game stretch, Assad has allowed five home runs and has an HR/9 of 1.1. 

He’s only allowed more than 2.5 runs once, but this is not a ballpark you want to play in if you’re a pitcher who allows home runs.

For our best MLB bets today, take the over on Assad’s earned runs.

⭐ Cody Bellinger Over 1.5 Total Bases (-110) at DraftKings

Continuing to review our Rockies vs. Cubs prediction, we found an MLB player prop bet that we simply cannot pass up. This time, it’s coming from the Cubs side of things with Cody Bellinger.

The Rockies are sending Chris Flexen to the mound today, and through 12 starts and 25 appearances, he’s just 1-7 with a terrible 7.36 ERA. 

A righty, Flexen has allowed a .308 batting average and seven home runs to lefties across 163 plate appearances. We like Bellinger over 1.5 total bases (-110) at DraftKings.

Bellinger, hitting .317 this season, is hitting .347 against righties and has nine of his 25 home runs against them across 164 plate appearances. 

Look for Bellinger to have a massive day against Flexen.
