Astros vs. Rangers MLB Player Prop Bet: Adolis Garcia Makes it Rain (Again)

John Hyslop is here with his play of the day! Check out an MLB player prop bet he’s locking in for Houston Astros vs. Texas Rangers on June 30, 2023.

Astros vs. Rangers Pick: Adolis Garcia Over 1.5 Total Bases | +110 at DraftKings

We had to go to DraftKings for this thing since they have the best price. The thing is, it’s not much better than anywhere else so we’re good. Basically, if you can’t play at DraftKings, it isn’t the end of the world. All you psychos will be happy to know that FanDuel has ladders for the total base markets so if you want to get a little loose, that’s the place to do it. Right now, 3+ is +210, 4+ is +290 and 5+ is +650. Every one of those is in play so do what you need to do.

Is Adolis Garcia my favorite player? Right now, yes. I like guys that smash baseballs and he smashes baseballs. All the time. Even when he doesn’t. The fun thing is, he’s a righty that crushes other righties. Righty on righty crime if you will. In fact, the last seven times his bat touched a righty’s ball, the the thing flew out at an exit velocity of 91+ mph. That’s damn fast and what it means is, he’s hitting the ball hard (science). He’s definitely in play to hit one over the fence tonight so the total bases feels like a steal.

Helping him out will be Houston Astros pitcher, Ronel Blanco. Garcia has seen him four times in his career. He’s doubled once and walked once. The thing is, Blanco is in bad shape right now. He’s given up two dingers in each of his last three games. He’s given up a homer to a righty in each of his last four games. Guys are just sending this guy to space over and over again. Given Garcia’s current form, I can’t see how he doesn’t take advantage of Blanco. This bet is so good, it feels illegal. We shouldn’t even be allowed to bet this.
