This is going to be a fun Monday over at Underdog Fantasy! You can get the best of both worlds by taking MLB player props and pairing them with some NFL player props! Let’s make some money tonight with an Angel, Astro, and maybe a Bronco or Seahawk – how about it? For the Major League Baseball slate on Monday, two veteran stars caught my eye, as Jose Altuve gets to face a southpaw and Mike Trout is looking for his seventh-straight game with a home run. I include one MLB prop bet lean with a talented right-hander that has taken the fantasy baseball world by storm in 2022. Before locking in MLB DFS lineups or MLB betting picks, be sure to check out today's MLB weather report, the confirmed MLB lineups, and our MLB daily projections.

Without further ado, here are my favorite MLB player props and plays of the day over on Underdog Fantasy for Monday, September 12.

 

Underdog Fantasy MLB Player Props September 12

Mike Trout OVER 1.5 Total Bases

How can we not look at Trout right now? He’s homered in six straight contests, and he has a 1.000 SLG in the month of September! Trout gets to face the left-handed Konnor Pilkington tonight, and in 2022 against southpaws, Trout has a 1.089 OPS with a 457 wOBA and 205 wRC+. Trout may not extend his streak to seven straight games with a home run, but at the very least, I do like a seventh straight game with more than 1.5 total bases.

Jose Altuve OVER 1.5 Total Bases

Altuve is 6-for-19 with two home runs in his career against Eduardo Rodriguez, and the Detroit southpaw has allowed a 6.55 ERA over his last two starts, not to mention a 4.09 HR/9. When looking at the home runs, tell me if you can spot a trend: Julio Rodríguez, Ty France, Mike Trout, Mike Ford, and Jo Adell. Four of those five players are right-handed hitters! In struts Altuve, hitting .346 with a .615 SLG over his last 13 games, and has destroyed southpaws this season to the tune of a .333 average and 1.097 OPS. On top of that, Rodriguez is a southpaw, yes, but once that Altuve has a good track record against! Give me the over!

Other Leans:

  • Spencer Strider OVER 7.5 Strikeouts (14.2 K/9 over last 4 starts & SFG has 3rd-highest K% vs. RHP over last two weeks)
