MLB Player Props Today: Key Game Breakdown & Predictions
Atlanta Braves vs. Cincinnati Reds Prediction & Odds
Date: Wednesday, September 23 | Truist Park, Atlanta
Game Preview
The Atlanta Braves will be on a recovery mission on Wednesday following a humbling 4-0 loss at the hands of the Cincinnati Reds on Tuesday evening. However, the Braves are unlikely to be too fazed following the defeat, as their spot in the postseason has already been assured.
Chris Sale could be a player worth following on Wednesday, as he will once again anchor the rotated Braves. Cincinnati typically ranks among the leaders in terms of MLB strikeout percentages against left-handed pitchers, and it is likely that Sale will miss plenty of bats through his six+ innings.
- Best Bet: Chris Sale Over Strikeouts
Philadelphia Phillies vs. Milwaukee Brewers Prediction & Odds
Date: Wednesday, September 23 | Citizens Bank Park, Philadelphia
Game Preview
The Philadelphia Phillies will be chasing successive wins over the Milwaukee Brewers on Wednesday, as they aim to extend their advantage at the top of the NL Central Division.
Aaron Nola looks like a player to consider when assessing the MLB best player props for today. Nola typically works himself into games with strong command, and the Phillies have been leaning on his expertise throughout their September slate of games. His volume and ability to hold opponents under on early runs provide a solid value selection against an aggressive rival this week.
- Best Bet: Aaron Nola Over Pitcher Outings
New York Yankees vs. Tampa Bay Rays Prediction & Odds
Date: Wednesday, September 23 | Yankee Stadium, New York
Game Preview
The New York Yankees were easily beaten by the Tampa Bay Rays in the second game of a best-of-four series on Wednesday. However, they should be capable of reversing that when the sides collide once again on Wednesday.
Gerrit Cole could be primed for a big night under the lights at Yankee Stadium in conditions that will suit. The Rays typically swing-and-miss against elite right-handers, and Cole’s fastball seam could ensure that he reaches the strikeout line this week.
- Best Bet: Gerrit Cole Over Strikeouts
