An off-day and travel day for most of the MLB, we have a 5-game slate on Thursday, with the first pitch coming at 1:05 pm ET. Let’s dive into our best MLB player prop bets for Thursday, April 3.
Trea Turner (PHI) Over 2.5 hits + runs + RBIs (+120)
Odds available at Bet365 at time of publishing.
Trea Turner dealt with back spasms in the season’s opening series for the Philadelphia Phillies, which led to him not starting the home opener on Monday. But he came in to pinch-hit for Brandon Marsh and turned the game around. After being down 0-2 in the count, Turner drew a walk and scored on an Edmundo Sosa double to take the lead. He followed that performance with a 3-hit game last night to lead the Phillies in the leadoff spot.
Today, Turner will be hitting second — with Kyle Schwarber getting the nod at leadoff since the Rockies are going with a righty on the mound. Nonetheless, Turner is in another great spot to rake behind one of the most lethal lineups in baseball — and with the wind blowing out at Citizens Bank Park.
