⚾ Best Bryce Harper prop pick: Over 1.5 total bases ⭐⭐
Best odds: +130 via bet365 ($10 to win $13)
Harper recently endured his worst stretch of the season, entering yesterday going 1-for-15 with six strikeouts in the previous four games. However, he should come into this contest with more confidence, having hit a two-RBI double and reaching base three times on Saturday.
He also owns a career .308 batting average (4-for-13) against Jameson Taillon.
Prior to his recent four-game slump, Harper had gone Over this projected total in three of the previous six games. That makes this a great value play, especially at bet365, whose +130 odds trump the +116 odds for the same wager at Caesars.

⚾ Best Dansby Swanson prop pick: Over 0.5 runs scored ⭐⭐⭐
Best odds: +165 via DraftKings ($10 to win $16.50)
Swanson has 40 more career at-bats against tonight’s opposing starting pitcher, Nola, than the next closest Cubs hitter. While Swanson’s slash line in those 63 career at-bats is a modest .233/.292/.450, half of his 14 career hits have been extra-base hits.
Even if Swanson is not hitting for power tonight, he has stolen a base in two of the previous four games and scored runs in four of the last five (with six total runs scored in that span).
DraftKings and bet365 both have the best odds for this wager at +165, while Caesars is slightly lower at +159, carrying a 38.61% implied win probability.

⚾ Best Aaron Nola prop pick: Nola to record the win ⭐⭐⭐
Best odds: +165 via bet365 ($10 to win $16.50)
Nola has taken the loss in each of his first five starts this season. But he also has been the victim of poor run support, with the Phillies scoring one or fewer runs in three of those five.
Nola’s lack of run support overshadows the fact that he still has solid metrics in ground ball rate (73rd percentile) and chase rate (81st percentile), and his ground ball rate is on pace to be his best since 2020, when he finished seventh in the Cy Young Award voting.
Nola is 4-1 in six career starts at Wrigley Field. That makes these +165 odds for him to record his first win of the season more enticing than any of his other props.
