MLB Player Prop #1: Kyle Schwarber Over 0.5 Runs Scored (+115)

Atlanta Braves vs Philadelphia Phillies Match Details

Fixture: Atlanta Braves @ Philadelphia Phillies

Date & Time: Friday, October 14; 4:37 pm EDT

Venue: Citizens Bank Park, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Kyle Schwarber isn't a traditional leadoff hitter, but he gets the job done for the Phillies more often than not. He's yet to record a hit this postseason, but expect him to turn that around soon.

Today, he'll face stud rookie Spencer Strider, who has had a great year, but Schwarber should be able to break out of his mini-slump. The outfielder led the NL in homers this year with 46, and his 100 runs scored was the fourth-highest mark in the MLB.

The series shifts back to Philly, so look for the slugger to be comfortable in his home park. Expect Schwarber to get on and come around to score or even drive himself in Game 3.

MLB Player Prop #2: Tony Gonsolin Under 1.5 Earned Runs Allowed (-154)

Los Angeles Dodgers vs San Diego Padres Match Details

Fixture: Los Angeles Dodgers @ San Diego Padres

Date & Time: Friday, October 14; 8:37 pm EDT

Venue: Petco Park, San Diego, California

Tony Gonsolin had an amazing year, and now he'll get his first taste of this postseason. He hasn't fared well in previous years in the playoffs, but he's a much improved pitcher now. He ended the year with a 16-1 record, a minuscule 2.14 ERA, and 0.88 WHIP.

He will now take on the Padres, a club he dominated during the regular season. In 12 2/3 innings against San Diego, Gonsolin allowed just one earned run and was credited as the winning pitcher twice.

Considering that it's also a pitcher-friendly park and the fact that Dodgers starters haven't gone too deep, it's safe to say that the right-hander should hold his opposition to under two earned runs. Moreover, Gonsolin ended the regular season with five starts, where he allowed one or zero earned runs, so expect him to be sharp inGame 3.
