Key Points:
- Jack Flaherty is favored to exceed 2.5 walks in his upcoming start against the Baltimore Orioles, who have a high team walk rate, making this prop a potentially profitable play especially on the road.
- Kyle Schwarber is a strong pick to surpass 1.5 hits, runs, and RBI against Cleveland Guardians pitcher Gavin Williams, who struggles against left-handed hitters and has allowed many home runs this season.
- Shea Langeliers is projected to go over 1.5 hits, runs, and RBI versus Padres pitcher Walker Buehler, who has poor ratings and has allowed significant hard contact to right-handed hitters recently.
- Both Schwarber and Langeliers have additional value in their home run props given their strong recent performance and favorable matchups, with recommendations to take these props especially at plus money odds.
- The article advises caution on paying extra vig for Flaherty's walk prop but encourages taking advantage of favorable odds on Schwarber and Langeliers' hitting and home run props.
