Hunter Goodman to Record 2+ Total Bases (+125)

A lot of attention -- rightfully -- will swing to the Atlanta Braves' side of this prop market. The Colorado Rockies might be able to do some damage, too.

Bryce Elder is a vulnerable target. Elder's an odd mix of a groundball guy (53.1% rate) that also has permitted 1.41 HR/9. He's 40th percentile or worse in hard-hit (46.1%) and barrel (9.0%) rates allowed. Righties, specifically, have a .322 wOBA and .772 OPS against him.

Not wanting to get crazy with Rockies team expectations, Hunter Goodman props are the next-best option. Goodman has a .999 OPS, .324 ISO, and 45.3% hard-hit rate against righties in the past 30 days. Most importantly of all for this prop, his walk rate (3.9%) is tiny in the sample.

FanDuel Research's MLB player prop projections expect 1.99 total median bases from him on Friday. Plus money for Colorado's best bat in the split is extremely attractive.

Freddy Peralta Under 17.5 Outs (-102)

Call it a hunch or seeking value opposite the public. Freddy Peralta is a great pitcher, but handing him a quality start against the St. Louis Cardinals might be overselling his current form.

Peralta's now completed six innings in consecutive starts, but overall, it's a tad bumpy. He's got a 4.40 skill-interactive ERA (SIERA) in his last five starts with a 12.2% barrel rate allowed. The righty has survived a lot of loud outs recently.

Plus, St. Louis is a pretty strong matchup. In the last 30 days, the Cards' .714 team OPS in the split is right around the league average, and their tiny strikeout rate (19.4%) is a good showing of plate discipline to drive up his pitch count.

We've got Peralta projected for just 5.58 innings on Friday, implying a -106 chance that he fails to meet 6.0 innings.

Manny Machado to Record an RBI (+120)

MLB's fourth-best park for hitters welcomes the San Diego Padres to town, and they've got a decent matchup to score.

Ryne Nelson's 4.60 ERA is actually worse than his SIERA (3.88), but the home park likely factors into that equation. Nelson's hard-hit (41.2%) and contact (81.6%) rates are still quite high, and he isn't missing many bats with an 8.6% swinging-strike rate.

Projected in San Diego's three hole, Manny Machado can drive in a run. He's done just that a team-high 13 times over the last 30 days against right-handed pitching -- a sample comprising of 82 plate appearances (PAs). Machado has totaled an .897 OPS and .197 ISO in this sample.

FDR projects Machado for 0.79 RBI on Friday, implying closer to -120 odds for at least one.
