Free MLB player props, odds for May 20: Pete Alonso, Cody Bellinger among bets for Tuesday RBI picks

A tried and true MLB prop bet strategy is identifying struggling pitchers and targeting batters they’ll face in MLB player props. Colorado’s Antonio Senzatela is that pitcher on the Tuesday MLB schedule, courtesy of his 6.39 ERA, and the Phillies could be the beneficiaries. Hitters like Bryce Harper, Kyle Schwarber and Trea Turner will get to face the Rockies‘ righty in the thin air of Colorado no less. While backing the Overs for their RBI props looks promising, where should you lean on MLB props for stars from other teams in action such as Aaron Judge, Fernando Tatis Jr. and Vladimir Guerrero?

Targeting RBI props is a popular way to attack MLB betting, and with 15 games on Tuesday’s MLB schedule starting at 6:40 p.m. ET or later, you can find value on the board. With MLB props available for almost every player in every game at sportsbooks, SportsLine’s proven computer model can help you find value to add to your MLB RBI picks. They can also help new users take advantage of sportsbook promos like the latest bet365 promo code and Caesars Sportsbook promo code.

The model simulates every game 10,000 times and is on a 13-8 run (62%) on all top-rated MLB money-line picks since the start of the season. The model is up 22.6 units on picks over the last 42 days. Now, the model and SportsLine’s team of Data Scientists have revealed their projections for some of the most-bet MLB RBI props on Tuesday. These three picks can be parlayed for +1368 odds and would win well over $1,300 on a $100 bet. 

Best Tuesday RBI MLB player prop picks:

Cody Bellinger Over 0.5 RBI (+125)

No one in the majors is bringing a hotter bat to the plate than the 2019 National League MVP. Bellinger owns the longest active hit streak (13) in baseball, and he’s knocked in 12 runs over this stretch. It certainly helps having Judge in front of Bellinger in the batting order, but, as a team, New York leads the AL in on-base percentage. Thus, the basepaths often have several Yankees on them when Bellinger enters the batter’s box. If in need of more evidence to back Bellinger with MLB RBI props, then it would be helpful to know that Bellinger is hitting .391 (9 for 23) against Rangers starter Patrick Corbin. DraftKings has the best odds at +125.

Pete Alonso Over 0.5 RBI (+125) 

The Mets and Red Sox face off on Tuesday, with Walker Buehler on the mound for Boston. The former Dodgers starter has allowed 89 home runs in his career, and no single player has homered more off him than Alonso. He has four long balls versus Buehler, so he’s not even reliant on other Mets getting on base to reaching this Over. That includes Alonso homering off Buehler in his last plate appearance versus the pitcher, and Alonso ranks fifth in the NL with 37 RBI this season. The model has Alonso’s RBI projection at 0.8 RBI for Tuesday’s game, with plus-money odds at FanDuel Sportsbook.

Rafael Devers Over 0.5 RBI (+190)

Devers overcame an offseason position change and a slow start to the year to display why he signed a contract north of $300 million in 2023. He has 29 RBI over his last 28 games, despite not getting as many chances as others to swing the bat as he leads the AL in walks. Fortunately, the pitcher he’s facing, Clay Holmes, has walked a total of four batters over his last four starts, so Devers should get some swings off him. Additionally, Devers’ OPS is 149 points higher versus RHPs like Holmes than southpaws, as the SportsLine model projects 0.77 RBI for Devers. Thus, there’s value with the Over, and while some sportsbooks have these MLB prop odds at +170, you can get them at +190 at FanDuel.
