It's a busy Friday in Major League Baseball with 15 games on tap, and a litany of MLB player props to choose from.
We'll kick things off in the Mile High city, where Ozzie Albies looks to stay red-hot against a pitcher he's lit up regularly.
Read below for the rest of my favorite MLB picks for Friday, May 1.
Best MLB player props today
| Player | Pick | Odds |
|---|---|---|
| 3+ total bases | +140 | |
| 7+ strikeouts | -136 | |
| 1+ doubles | +250 |

Ozzie Albies 3+ total bases (+140)
Ozzie Albies has been tearing it up for the MLB-best Braves, with hits in 12 straight games, including picking up at least three total bases in five of his last seven games.
He has absolutely owned Rockies starter Jose Quintana, going 9-for-19. That's a .474 average, and a slugging percentage of 1.053, as he's homered off him three times, adding two doubles and four RBI.
There's not a better situation for him to keep raking.

Jacob Misiorowksi 7+ strikeouts (-136)
You can chase some better juice, like +128 odds for 8+ strikeouts, but Jacob Misiorowski is facing the Nationals for the first time in his career, and that's always a factor to consider.
This still feels like a decent number and odds, considering the Brewers' righty has recorded at least seven strikeouts in five of his six starts on the season.
Washington isn't exactly looking for great pitches. As a team, they're tied for 19th in team strikeouts per game at 8.72.

Andy Pages 1+ doubles (+250)
Andy Pages continues to hit well after a forgettable postseason run, 12th in the majors with a .321 average, as the Dodgers open a set with St. Louis on Friday.
He has hits in five of his last six games, including three games with at least a double. Pages has picked up at least a hit in two straight vs. the Cards, including a two-double game.
It's a nice time to take a flier on a double, especially with those nice +250 odds.
