Bryce Harper (PHI) Over 1.5 hits + runs + RBIs (-130)
Line available at DraftKings Sportsbook at time of publishing.
Bryce Harper getting the luxury of potentially 5 at-bats on the road gives us a slight edge regarding his hits + runs + RBIs prop. Harper is coming off registering two of the five Phillies hits last night off Zac Gallen – an underwhelming performance once again from the Phillies offense. Nonetheless, they will match up against RHP Merrill Kelly — who is making his first start since April 15th and will most likely be on a pitch count after throwing a 62-pitch outing in the minors.
Harper is slowly returning to form after a perplexing 1/31 slump from the plate dating back to the end of July to the beginning of August. He’s delivered a hit in 7 of his last 8 games while raising his batting average back up to .281.
Against RHP in August, Harper is hitting .321 in 30 at-bats. Meanwhile, the rest of the offense besides Kyle Schwarber has been slumping. With a unique prop like this one, Harper can deliver in many ways — a top 30 BB% against RHP will certainly help. Look for Harper to continue his hot-hitting ways and the offense behind him to pick up against a starting pitcher who hasn’t pitched in the big leagues in over four months.
