A 13-2 week betting MLB player props? Yeah, we’ll take that all day. Saturday’s 1-1 performance barely dented our incredible run, and we’ve got two more solid plays lined up for Sunday’s action.
Let’s dive right into our first target – Twins starter Joe Ryan against the free-swinging Angels.
Joe Ryan Over 6.5 Strikeouts (-140 at DraftKings)
Before we break down Ryan’s matchup, here’s a quick reminder about why you need multiple sportsbook accounts. DraftKings has Ryan’s strikeout total at 6.5, while FanDuel is offering 7.5. Bet365 also has 6.5 but with heavier juice on the over. The difference between clearing 6 Ks versus 7 is massive – always shop for the best number.
Ryan’s strikeout production has dipped slightly in 2025, with his K/9 sitting at 9.3 compared to his career average of 9.8. But there’s context here. Four of his five starts have come against teams that rank in the bottom 11 in strikeout rate. Today’s opponent is a completely different story.
The Angels come in as the third most strikeout-prone team in baseball. They whiffed 13 times yesterday and 10 times Friday. LA is averaging 10 strikeouts per game, which sets up perfectly for Ryan.
What’s even more compelling is Ryan’s history against current Angels hitters. He’s faced this group 33 times and posted a ridiculous 39.3% strikeout rate. The matchup couldn’t be better for the 28-year-old right-hander to rack up Ks today.
Gavin Lux 2+ Bases (+115 at Bet365)
We’re dancing with the one who brought us here. Gavin Lux has been money for us all week, so we’re riding him one more time.
Lux continues to be criminally undervalued in the props market. He’s slashing .389/.500/.556 this week with a homer, 4 RBI, and 6 runs scored. The guy is seeing beach balls at the plate right now.
He added two more hits in Cincinnati’s 6-4 win over Colorado yesterday. Now we’re getting plus-money odds on him to record just two total bases at Coors Field? That’s a gift we can’t pass up.
Today’s Reds-Rockies matchup has the highest game total on the slate, and Coors Field has been its usual hitter-friendly self this season. Opposing batters are hitting .276 there with a .460 slugging percentage. They’re averaging 6.5 runs per game with a 5% home run rate.
All Lux needs is a double or two singles to cash this ticket. At these odds, in this ballpark, with his current form – this one’s a no-brainer.
