  • Javier Baez Over 1.5 Total Bases (-110, BetMGM)
  • Kyle Schwarber Over 1.5 Total Bases (+125, DraftKings)
  • Zach Neto Over 1.5 Hits + Runs + Runs Batted In (-110, BetMGM)

Tigers and Rockies Square Off - Game 1

Coming off an extra-inning victory by the Tigers against the Rockies on Wednesday, Baez is looking to push his hitting streak to double digits. With eight straight games under his belt, an additional two hits could seal the deal.

Baez has proven his worth, smacking two hits in each of his last three games. His versatility on the field, playing at third base, center field, or shortstop, has made it hard for A.J. Hinch to keep him out of the lineup.

Boasting a team-leading .313 batting average, Baez's performance against left-handed pitchers spikes to .333. That's good news going up against Kyle Freeland, albeit a tad surprising considering Freeland's shaky 5.70 ERA and 1.46 WHIP this season.

With the Tigers' offense firing on all cylinders, there's a good chance that Freeland gets the boot early if Baez can't feast again. However, right-handed hitters have been lethal against Freeland, clocking in a .345 average. I predict Baez will join in on the fun.

Given his recent streak and the favorable conditions, two singles could be enough to surpass this line. But given Baez's consistency, I expect him to rake up more than that, perhaps extending his streak of two total bases in eight straight games.💥🎉

Schwarber's Slice of Tampa Bay

Schwarber, a former teammate of Baez, is equally ready to make a splash. After notching five hits in the first two games in Tampa, Schwarber has a hit in seven out of the past ten games, with five of those gone yard.

Sitting atop the MLB leaderboard with 12 home runs and a .991 OPS, Schwarber will be well-positioned to cash in with the wind blowing out to his pull side on Thursday.

Facing Ryan Pepiot for the first time, the unknown may work in Schwarber's favor, especially considering that all eight of Pepiot's home runs surrendered this season have happened at home. If Schwarber does decide to take Pepiot deep, he'll also net two total bases. In his last ten games, Schwarber has averaged 2.8 total bases per game, so the odds look promising! 💣🎇

Neto's Streak Extends to Thirteen?

Returning from an injury, Neto has been compensating by recording a .292 average, four home runs, eight RBIs, and an .897 OPS since his comeback. A 12-game hitting streak is on the line for Neto, and he'll face Chris Bassitt in an attempt to keep it going.

Should he extend his streak, Neto will require either a second hit, run, or RBI to succeed in this prop. He's managed to score in seven games of his past twelve and driven in a run in five of them. That's helped him record two hits + runs + RBIs in nine of his last twelve games, averaging 2.5 per game.

Facing Bassitt for the first time, Neto has a .304 batting average against right-handers this season. He may also see additional plate appearances against the Blue Jays' bullpen, batting near the top of the lineup, which should increase his chances of achieving this prop. 🎯💥

Get the Best Rates! Don't miss out on the action with these prop picks on May 8th. Stack your bets and reap the rewards! 💥🎉

  1. Javier Baez, given his recent streak of eight games with two hits or more, and his excellent batting performance against left-handed pitchers, could potentially accumulate more than 1.5 total bases in tonight's game against Kyle Freeland, extending his streak to nine games.
  2. Zach Neto, with a 12-game hitting streak on the line, might secure another hit, run, or RBI against Chris Bassitt to extend his streak and win the prop bet for over 1.5 hits + runs + RBIs on May 8th. His previous performance, including scoring in seven out of his last twelve games and recording two hits + runs + RBIs in nine games, makes him a potentially strong contender.
