Royals vs. Yankees Best Prop Bets Today – July 31, 2022: Montgomery Will Shine

The Royals (39-62) take on the red hot New York Yankees (69-33) today at Yankee Stadium in The Bronx, New York. This game is set to start at 1:35pm ET. In this betting preview, I’ll be sharing my top player prop bets for this game on July 31.

The Yankees have won the first three games of this series. They’re looking to complete the sweep today on July 31 against a struggling Royals team. The Royals are 3-7 in their last ten games. Granted, the Yankees are just 5-5 in their last ten games after getting swept by the New York Mets in a two game series.

Jordan Montgomery is set to take the mound for the NY Yankees (3-3, 3.50 ERA), and Zack Greinke (3-6, 4.35 ERA) is scheduled to start for the Royals.

The total runs market is currently set at an over/under of 9. As seen on the OddsJam MLB Odds Screen, the Yankees are heavy moneyline favorites. No surprise.

The NY Yankees are best offered at -265 odds on DraftKings sportsbook. The Royals have the best price of +240 on FanDuel & Unibet.

As a sports betting tip, always get the best possible odds in your location! It takes just a few seconds to browse odds on OddsJam, and getting the best line will add up to a lot of money in the long run. This is sports betting 101. If you aren’t line shopping and getting multiple sportsbook accounts, then it’s impossible to make money sports betting.

I don’t have a moneyline, spread or total runs betting pick for this game. I’d lean to bet the under 9 total runs, and I’d also lean to bet on the Royals moneyline at +240. I think the value is too high to pass up. Regardless, I think the value is in the player prop betting markets for today’s game on 7/31.

The MLB prop I like for this game is Jordan Montgomery over 4.5 strikeouts. He’s gone over 4.5 strikeouts in 10/20 games on the season (5/9 times at home).

I played this MLB pitching prop bet on PrizePicks, which is a DFS company. On PrizePicks, any two leg parlay comes out to +200 odds. I combined Montgomery over 4.5 strikeouts with Merrill Kelly over 4.5 strikeouts. If both pitchers have 5+ strikeouts, then my PrizePicks Power Play entry will cash.

I think this is one of the best PrizePicks player prop entries for today on July 31, 2022!
