The Diamondbacks strike out around league average, but they really struggle against high velocity. They also have a low OPS, so Snell should be able to last pretty deep into the game. Expect the Padres' lefty to rack up the punchouts at home on Monday.
MLB Player Prop #3: Wilmer Flores Over 1.5 Total Bases (+120)
Los Angeles Dodgers vs. San Francisco Giants Match Details
Fixture: San Francisco Giants @ Los Angeles Dodgers
Date & Time: Monday, September 5, 10:10 p.m. EDT
Venue: Dodger Stadium, Los Angeles, California
Wilmer Flores is expected to bat second tonight for the Giants. Flores will take his cuts off Dodger lefty Andrew Heaney. Over the last two seasons, Flores is slugging .508 against left-handers who rely heavily on the slider like Heaney, though, so he should be in good shape. Expect him to follow up his two-hit performance on Sunday with another strong game.
