Our 3 best MLB player props for Tuesday, September 16
Take a look at our best bets and expert analysis below.
Prop #1: Cade Horton Over 4.5 strikeouts
The Pittsburgh Pirates have the seventh-highest strikeout percentage against righties this season and also rank seventh-highest overall across the past 30 days.
Chicago Cubs rookie Cade Horton’s strikeout numbers are also on the rise with an 8.92 K/9 and a 25.9 K% across his past seven starts compared to respective 6.48 and 17.3% to start the year.

Prop #2: Jazz Chisholm Jr. Over 1.5 hits+runs+RBI
New York Yankees infielder Jazz Chisholm Jr. lands in the perfect matchup to snap an 0-for-7 slump at the dish with Minnesota Twins starter Zebby Matthews serving up a healthy .362 wOBA and .844 OPS to left-handed hitters this season.
Chisholm hits in the middle of the loaded New York lineup, and he’s been solid all year against righties with respective .367 and .862 marks to go along with a high-end .282 ISO.

Prop #3: AJ Blubaugh Over 3.5 strikeouts
Houston Astros righty AJ Blubaugh has pitched eight scoreless innings while striking out nine batters across four September appearances, and I expect him to pitch deep enough into Tuesday’s contest to pile up four or more punchouts.
Additionally, if the Texas Rangers didn’t have a middling 21 1/3 strikeout percentage against righties, I think this total would be 4.5 given Blubaugh’s solid 28.7% mark.
