Best MLB prop bets for May 28
5) Juan Soto 2+ walks (+215)
Juan Soto is up against the Chicago White Sox today.
The White Sox are sending their best pitcher to the mound: Shane Smith, who has a 2.26 ERA. This matchup might not matter, though, as Soto is still elite at drawing walks despite a poor start to the season, and the right-handed Smith will likely want to be careful with the left-handed Soto.
4) Luis Robert Jr. over 0.5 stolen bases (+340)
The MLB leader for stolen bases is not Bobby Witt Jr., Elly De La Cruz or Shohei Ohtani. It's Luis Robert Jr. He is hitting under .200, but all he needs to do today is get on base once against Griffin Canning, and then he's likely to steal against a right-handed pitcher. One walk or a base hit is all it will take for Robert to end up with a steal today.
3) Rafael Devers over 0.5 hits (-165)
Rafael Devers has eight hits in his last seven days, so he's been on a bit of a tear. He's been one of the only offensive threats for the Boston Red Sox lately, and he's got a very good chance of starting a true hitting streak, even against Freddy Peralta. Devers, a lefty, has the hand advantage and should be able to record one hit today.
2) Clarke Schmidt over 6 hits allowed (+225)
Clarke Schmidt has one of the best matchups in baseball tonight against the Los Angeles Angels. However, he had the single-best matchup in baseball last time out with the Colorado Rockies, and he yielded three runs and six hits across 4.2 innings.
The Angels have not had much offense, but they should easily be able to muster six hits against Schmidt, no matter how well he pitches.
1) Paul Skenes under 1.5 runs allowed (+125)
Paul Skenes has been good again this year, but he hasn't quite been dominant. However, he should be able to keep the Arizona Diamondbacks mostly off the scoreboard today.
They do have the eighth-best team batting average, but Skenes is due for a truly dominant outing, especially after he lost despite pitching a complete game last time out.
