Even though the MLB season is starting to wind down, there are still a couple of big games that are set to take place.
One great way to bet on baseball is to put together a two-team parlay, and there are a couple of great games to target.
Here is a look at the two best MLB player props today for your betting options.
Miami Marlins vs. Milwaukee Brewers
The Milwaukee Brewers can still make it into the playoffs as a Wild Card team, but they have some work to do. Milwaukee hosts the Miami Marlins on Thursday night to begin a very important four-game series.
It’s been a disappointing season for the Miami Marlins as they have fallen well short of preseason expectations. Miami comes into this game with a record of 64-91, and they have lost two of their last three games.
Milwaukee is only a 0.5 game out of the final Wild Card spot in the National League with a record of 83-72.
The Brewers are 12 games over the .500 mark at home, and they need to play great baseball in this series. The MLB odds for this game have the Brewers as the moneyline betting favorites at -180.
Miami Marlins
The Miami Marlins are a team that has a dominant starting rotation, but that hasn’t always led to a ton of success this season.
Miami comes into this series with a team ERA of 3.92, but they have scored just 557 total runs in 2022, according to MLB team stats.
Braxton Garrett as Starter
Braxton Garrett will be on the mound in this game, and he is just 3-6 with a 3.52 ERA on the year. Garrett is not one of the dominant starters for this team, but he hasn’t been terrible in his starts.
Jesus Aguilar leads the way with 15 home runs this season, but there has been a real lack of power for the Marlins. Miami will have to find a way to score runs if they want to win in this matchup.
Milwaukee Brewers
The Milwaukee Brewers continue to be led by their starting rotation, but they also have a solid offense as well. Milwaukee has belted 213 home runs this season, and they have a team ERA of 3.90 on the year.
Rowdy Tellez leads the team with 34 home runs, and Willy Adames has driven in 96 runs to lead the team. Milwaukee has been swinging the bats well of late, and that will need to continue in this one.
Eric Lauer will make this start, and he is 10-7 with a 3.96 ERA on the year, according to MLB player stats. Lauer should be able to shut down the Marlins in this game.
MLB Pick: Brewers (-180)
Oakland Athletics vs. Los Angeles Angels
AL West rivals meet up on Thursday night for a relatively meaningless game as the Los Angeles Angels host the Oakland Athletics. Neither team is headed to the playoffs this season, and both have been eliminated for weeks.
Oakland comes into this game with a record of 56-99, and they have lost the first two games of this series. The Athletics are in a complete rebuild, and they are fading hard down the stretch.
The Angels are 69-86 on the year, and this is a team that was supposed to compete for a playoff spot. Los Angeles has won three straight games, but it’s too little, too late for the Angels.
The Los Angeles Angels are the moneyline betting favorites at -250 for this game.
Oakland Athletics
The Oakland Athletics are hitting just .217 as a team so far this season, and they have a team ERA of 4.61. This is a team with very little talent, and that has been an issue so far in this series.
Cole Irvin will be on the mound on Thursday night, and he is 9-12 with a 4.05 ERA on the year. Irvin does have the ability to pitch well, but his offense won’t give him much support in this one.
Los Angeles Angels
It will be the Shohei Ohtani show for the Angels on Thursday night, just as it has been all season long. It’s never easy to back the Angels except when Ohtani is on the mound, which will be the case in this game.
The two-way sensation comes into the game on Thursday night with a record of 14-8 to go along with a 2.47 ERA. On offense, Ohtani has also driven in 93 runs to go along with 34 long balls.
MLB Pick: Angels -1.5 (-110)
Parlay Pick
Even though there is a pretty long list of games set to take place on Thursday night, these are the two games that stand out the most.
Take the Brewers as they take care of business at home against the Marlins and back the Los Angeles Angels and Shohei Ohtani late at night.
MLB Pick: Two-Legged Parlay (+197)
