We’re just a few days away from playoff baseball. Until then, Friday presents bettors with a 15-game slate with plenty of playoff implications. Let’s dive into our best MLB player prop bets for Friday, September 27.
Also don’t forget that you can find out our experts’ MLB picks for today’s big matchups.
Jose Berrios (TOR) Under 5.5 hits allowed (+128)
Line available at Bet365 Sportsbook at time of publishing.
Jose Berrios and the Toronto Blue Jays will conclude the season with a series against the Miami Marlins, who are fresh off a 13-inning win in Minnesota last night. Now the Fish must travel to Toronto, where both teams have nothing to play for except pride.
The Blue Jays had Bowden Francis on a pitch count on Tuesday, as he threw just 71 pitches. The following day, Kevin Gausman threw 93. There is been no indication that Berrios will be on a pitch count in his final start of the year, but this is still a price and number I’m still willing to back. Berrios has been stellar for the past 2 months. He recorded a 2.50 ERA in 6 starts in August with 5 wins. He has followed that up with 3 starts in September thus far for a 1.42 ERA. Even against a Marlins offense that is hitting RHP very well, at +128 on Bet365 and +115 on most other books, it’s too good to pass up.
Taj Bradley (TB) Under 5.5 hits allowed (-135)
Line available at Bet365 Sportsbook at time of publishing.
I’m targeting another game in which both teams have nothing for which to play. Taj Bradley will battle the Rafael Devers-less Red Sox, who are projected to toss out a lineup with at least four right-handed hitters — a side Bradley has pitched well against this season with a .221 batting average.
Bradley was stellar during the first half of the season with a 2.90 ERA and holding opponents to a .208 batting average. The second half has been a different story. His 5.80 ERA is worrisome, but a potential soft lineup from Boston that hasn’t seen Bradley since May could work in his favor.
