National League West super teams go head-to-head on Sunday Night Baseball. Joe Musgrove will be on the bump for the San Diego Padres while Julio Urias takes the mound for the Los Angeles Dodgers. With these two teams battling it out for years, veteran Max Muncy has had his fair share of battles against Musgrove.
Let’s dive into the best Sunday Night Baseball player prop bets, which feature Muncy and his .262 batting average against right-handed pitching this season.
Sunday Night Baseball Player Prop Bet | Max Muncy
After a lackluster 2022 campaign of hitting below .200, Max Muncy is starting to find his stride once again. The 32-year-old leads the league in home runs with 12, including nine off right-handers. Muncy will go against Joe Musgrove, and the two have had plenty of encounters since Musgrove joined the Padres in 2021.
Musgrove is making his third start of the season after spending time on the IL with a toe injury to begin the season. He was teed off on in Mexico City last time out against an underwhelming San Francisco Giants lineup. Now he gets a Dodgers team that has his number. Mookie Betts, Freddie Freeman, Muncy and David Peralta all are hitting over .350 in their careers against Musgrove.
Muncy has nine hits in 29 at-bats against Musgrove, with a home run and three doubles. Against a loaded offense like the Dodgers, Musgrove will have no choice but to pitch to Muncy. OddsShopper Premium gives this prop a 59% win expectancy and a 6% EV. FanDuel Sportsbook has this same line listed at -150.
