Sunday Night Baseball Prop Bets

1. Jameson Taillon Under 5.5 Strikeouts

This number is right around Taillon’s average. However, the Red Sox are not a team that strikeout a whole lot. In fact, over the last 15 days the Red Sox as a team have the third least strikeouts amongst American League teams. Furthermore, Taillon faced the Red Sox on June 5th. In that game, Taillon pitched 5 1/3 innings and only struck out three Red Sox batters. I do not think he will have success against the Red Sox batters tonight thus I love this prop bet to go under the mark.

2. Alex Verdugo Over 1.5 Bases (From Hits)

We saw an incident with a Yankee fan and Alex Verdugo last night in the Yankees game. A fan threw a baseball from right field intentionally that hit Verdugo in the back and he was irate to say the least. Stay classy Yankee fans. Anyways, Verdugo has solidified himself nicely at the top of the lineup for the Red Sox. In fact, against Taillon back on June 5th, Verdugo hit a double in his first at bat. In addition, the home and road splits for Alex Verdugo are near identical. I fully expect Verdugo try to get some time of revenge tonight hitting the ball against the Yankees.

3. Xander Bogaerts Over 1.5 Bases (From Hits)

This season it seems like Xander Bogaerts loves to play against the Yankees. The numbers certainly back that up! Thus far against the Yankees this season, Bogaerts is batting .423 | .433 | .577 | 1.010. I expect to see runs scored tonight in the game between these two rivals and it should be led by Bogaerts’s bat. Except for the game last night, Bogaerts has recorded at least one hit in each matchup against the Yankees this season. I expect the hot bat against the Yankees to continue tonight for X!
