Best Prop Bet Picks for Tonight's Game

Book	Odds	Player Prop
BetMGM	+105	Phillies’ Noah Syndergaard Over 2.5 strikeouts
FanDuel	+360	Phillies’ Bryce Harper to hit a double
DraftKings	+450	Phillies’ Bryson Stott to hit a double
BetMGM	+20000	Phillies’ Bryce Harper to hit for the cycle; ½ unit
BetMGM	+20000	Astros’ Yordan Alverez to hit for the cycle; ½ unit
BetMGM	+8000	Phillies’ Kyle Schwarber to hit 3+ home runs
BetRivers	+300	Astros’ Chas McCormick to record an RBI
BetMGM	-250	The team that scores first will win the game
DraftKings	-125	Philadelphia Eagles touchdowns + Phillies Home Runs Over 4.5

In 221 prop bets, I have a 96-125 record, but by exploiting the ‘plus money’ betting opportunities have made a profit of $596 per $20 pizza-money wager or $2,980 per $100 wager, which is the season high. The results have produced a 74% return on investment (ROI) for the 2022 MLB season and playoffs.

Houston Astros -155 vs. Philadelphia Phillies +140

Game 5, 8:07 p.m. ET, FOX

Citizens Bank Park, Philadelphia

I am betting on the Phillies +140 as offered at BetMGM.

I am already on the Phillies to win the World Series and sticking with them even more after being no-hit last night.

The Phillies were no-hit by the New York Mets on April 29 at CitiField. They came back with a solid 4-1 win over the Mets and their starter Taijuan Walker the next day.
