You can choose just two props or choose them all and make it into one big parlay! 

This Weeks Record: 2-5-1

Last Weeks Record: 12-8

Past Nine Weeks Record: 93-67-7

Mark Vientos MORE than 8 Fantasy Points 

Any time Vientos is going up against a LHP, I always look to check out what props are available for him. This season against lefties, in 90 AB, Vientos is batting .344 with a .385 OBP and 1.041 OPS. Whether it be against RHP or LHP, Vientos has been hot over the past week, batting .321 with six runs, two HR, and six RBI. Tonight, he faces Orioles lefty Cole Irvin, who has a 4.85 ERA and 1.40 WHIP. 

Jeremy Pena MORE than 6 Fantasy Points

Pena is batting in the clean-up spot today, so he should see plenty of opportunities to rack up fantasy points. Over the past 14 days, Pena is batting .340 with six runs, three HR, seven RBI and three SB. His hot hitting and move to the clean-up spot for this game are big factors in picking this prop. However, it’s also worth noting that he has a good matchup against Red Sox SP Cooper Criswell. Criswell has been in and out of the rotation lately and has walked more batters than he has struck out over his past three appearances. In his most recent outing, he allowed six ER in 3.1 innings.

George Springer MORE than 0.5 Runs 

Springer has been bad this season. There really is no better or more eloquent way to put it. He has been hitting the ball better lately, though. He is riding a five-game hitting streak and has picked up a double, a triple, and two HR during it. He bats in the lead-off spot for the Blue Jays, which means that if he can continue to hit well and get on base, there is a good chance that he can come around to score. It also helps that he has been flashing more power lately, which puts him in scoring position immeditaely or means he is driving himself in. 

Corbin Carroll MORE than 7 Fantasy Points

Carroll has had a down season by his standards, but lately, he has been better. He resembles the 2023 version of himself that saw him take home NL ROTY honors. Over the past 14 days, Carroll has 18 runs, six HR, has driven in 12, is batting .280, and has a SB. He has 21 steals this year and has enough speed to steal 35-40 in a season, so you should expect him to start swiping more bags as well. Keep in mind that a SB is five fantasy points, so if he gets one, he is almost guaranteed to win this prop. I used him last night on a more than 0.5-run prop, and he ended up scoring two runs, one of which came when he drove himself in with an HR.
