Let’s go! Welcome back to day nine of Best, Prop Value. Day eight was nice enough to give us a 3-0 day as all bets cashed rather easily.

The best bet saw Terence Crawford unexpectedly dominate Errol Spence Jr right from the opening bell.

Crawford was able to connect on every shot he threw, knocking down Spence three times with three different punches before ultimately finishing him in round nine.

The BEST Pound for Pound! 40-0

The prop bet and value bet both cashed as Justin Gaethje had a crazy knockout win over Dustin Poirier early in round two of the fight. 

He landed a head kick that knocked out Poirier on impact, giving us the win in both the prop bet(Gaethje by knockout +250) and the value bet(Gaethje moneyline +128.)

Heading into day nine it’s back to baseball as we start off in Seattle for the best bet.

*All odds are from FanDuel Sportsbook*

Best Bet

Masataka Yoshida 2+ bags +105

Masataka Yoshida 2+ bases has been one of my favorite bets so far in this baseball season as he has hit it more often than not when I’ve bet on it.

With a .308 batting average, Yoshida has taken the league by storm in his rookie season and we look to capitalize on that in tonight’s game.

The Mariners will hand the ball to George Kirby who is 9-8 with a 3.49 ERA. Kirby has been solid his last two starts recording 19 Ks in the two games combined. 

Yoshida is currently in a slump going 0/13 in his last three games, but I’m hopeful he can and will break out of it today and grab us a double at some point.

Prop Bet

Elly De La Cruz 2+ bags

Elly De La Cruz has taken over baseball since being promoted to the big leagues with highlight reel plays every single game.

He has 20 RBIs in 46 games with a .277 batting average and is on a heater right now hitting 2+ bases in three of his last six games, including seven bases in his last game. 

Pitching for the Cubs is Marcus Stroman who has had a strong season thus far with a 10-7 record and a 3.51 ERA. 

This makes it slightly harder, but the speed of De La Cruz gives you a chance at two bases every time his bat makes contact with the ball.

Value Bet

Los Angeles Angels +184

The highest value on the board today comes with the Angels at +184 vs the league leading Atlanta Braves.

The Braves have been nothing short of dominant this year as they are 67-36 and lead the league in home runs at 199 so far this year. 

The Braves trot out Charlie Morton on the mound to face Chase Silseth of the Angels. Morton has a 10-8 record whereas Silseth has a 2-1 record this season. 

The Angels are rolling at 7-3 in their last 10 so with odds as good as it’s hard not to take them as a value bet, even against the dominant Atlanta Braves.

In Conclusion
