Best MLB Player Prop Bet | Randy Arozarena
Randy Arozarena headlines a loaded yet underrated Tampa Bay Rays lineup. The Rays lead almost all major categories in hitting statistics. Their .905 OPS is nearly 100 points higher than the next team, and it is nearly identical against right-handed pitching. They rank third in batting average but lead the MLB in on-base percentage. Arozarena will likely be hitting third, where he will be able to drive runners in and score, with Wander Franco hitting behind him. Arozarena is fourth in baseball in RBIs and top 20 in hits and home runs.
Not much can be said about Reds starting pitcher Levi Stoudt. He is a 25-year-old right-hander making his MLB debut against arguably the best lineup in baseball. His minor league numbers are not very impressive. Across 11 innings, he had a 4.09 ERA and is not even one of the Reds top pitching prospects. It will no doubt be a short outing for Stoudt. The bullpen for Cincinnati may not be much better, as it has the 10th-highest bullpen ERA to begin the 2023 season.
Arozarena is fresh off a two-hit game that included a solo home run. He has cashed this prop in both games of the series in Cincinnati and 12 of 17 this season. He slugs better against lefties but still has a .377 on-base percentage against righties.
Best MLB Player Prop: Randy Arozarena OVER 1.5 Hits + Runs + RBI -125 (DraftKings)
