Glasnow is one of the most elite strikeout pitchers, posting an 11.0 K/9 rate or better in each of the last seven seasons. Glasnow has 10 strikeouts through seven innings this year, but the Cubs have the fifth-lowest strikeout rate in the league (19%). 

He has also walked eight batters through two starts, and his control issues lower his ceiling for the number of outs he will record. With Glasnow likely to pitch a maximum of six innings, I am taking the Under on his strikeouts at plus-money odds.

Dodgers catcher Will Smith entered the weekend ranked in the top five of all qualified hitters with a .479 on-base percentage and had the second-highest BABIP (.478). 

Smith has an RBI in four of seven home games this year, and the Dodgers should have plenty of traffic on the basepaths against a pitcher (Colin Rea) who has a 5.25 career ERA at Dodger Stadium.

📊 Best Will Smith prop bet odds

⚾ Best Kyle Tucker prop pick: Over 0.5 runs ⭐⭐

Best odds: -110 via FanDuel ($10 to win $9.09)

Kyle Tucker leads the Cubs in nearly every statistical category, including batting average, home runs, RBI, OBP, and hits. 

His 18 runs scored are also three more than the next-highest teammate, and Glasnow’s control issues (eight walks in seven innings) suggest Tucker should be on base often. 

Tucker scored at least one run in 10 of the last 13 games, and this is excellent value for him to cross the plate again tonight, especially since his odds are much steeper at -150 (carrying a 60% implied probability) at DraftKings.

Mike started in the sports writing industry in July 2019, and gained a lot of followers in his first year after finishing with the No. 2 overall record in an annual NFL betting competition, which made picks against the spread, and from an Over/Under and moneyline perspective. Mike is an avid fan of the NFL, MLB, tennis, and all college sports. In his opinion, March Madness is the best sporting event there is, and he's especially euphoric starting with conference tournament time in college basketball. Mike's a big advocate of "fading the public" and making plays that are contrarian, constantly citing that "there are reasons why they have those big shiny buildings in Las Vegas." When making wagers, Mike always scours the best odds at all of the major sports betting sites, where he mostly sifts through DraftKings, FanDuel, BetMGM, and bet365. He's tried several others and is of the firm belief that bettors should not just stick to one sportsbook, as there is always likely better value to be had with the same wager. In addition, while Mike received his undergraduate degree from Villanova University, he has no issue betting against the Wildcats when it comes to college basketball wagering, and suggests other bettors should always put their “head” before their “hearts.”
