ET in Baltimore as the Baltimore Orioles host the Cleveland Guardians to start their series. There is a chock-full of great value on today’s prop bets so let’s take a look at our MLB prop bets odds <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/betting" rel="noopener">series</a> this Monday, May 29th.</p><p><i><b><a href="https://sportsbook.fanduel.com/navigation/mlb" rel="noopener sponsored">MLB Prop Bets Odds</a>, Courtesy of FanDuel</b></i></p><h2><b>MLB Prop Bets Odds</b></h2><p>Yordan Alvarez to Record 2+ Hits: +280</p><p>Aaron Judge to Record 2+ Runs: +190</p><p>Mike Trout to Record 2+ Hits: +260</p><p>Paul Goldschmidt to Record 2+ Hits: +185</p><p>Ronald Acuna to Record 2+ Hits: +160</p><h2>Yordan Alvarez to Record 2+ Hits: +280</h2><p>Yordan Alvarez is one of the best hitters in baseball and he showed that yesterday against the Oakland Athletics as he had 2 hits which both were home runs. He has been exceptional against right-handed pitchers all season long hitting .270 with 9 home runs and 26 RBIs.</p><p>He gets to take on Sonny Gray who has had a career resurgence this year with a 4-0 record and 1.82 ERA but his numbers against left-handed batters continue to loom giving up .264 this season. Alvarez is averaging 2.1 hits per game this season, and he has a career batting average of .312 against right-handed pitchers.</p><h2>Aaron Judge to Record 2+ Runs: +190</h2><p>Aaron Judge has been on a tear lately, and he is expected to have another big game against the Mariners on Monday. In the series against the Padres, Judge hit .333 (4-12) with 3 runs, 1 home run, and 2 RBIs. Judge is batting .291 with 15 home runs and 35 RBIs this season. He is also hitting .315 with a .969 OPS against right-handed pitchers, like Bryce Miller.</p><p>Bryce Miller has been very well so far this season with a 3-1 record and a nifty 1.15 ERA through 5 starts this season. What isn’t going well for him is his low swinging strike rate which is at a measly 10.7%. This will give Judge ample opportunities to get a hit and get himself on base to get some runs on the board.</p><h2>Mike Trout to Record 2+ Hits: +260</h2><p>Mike Trout is finally finding his stride as we continue this season. In the series against the Marlins, where the Angels were swept, Trout hit .333 (4-12) with 2 walks and 1 RBI. On the season Trout is hitting .278 with 12 home runs and 28 RBIs and gets a pitcher he has had some success against in limited fashion in Michael Kopech.</p><p>On the mound for the White Sox is Michael Kopech who is coming off back-to-back shutout performances giving up 0 runs in 15 innings pitched and 19 strikeouts but those were against bottom-feeder offenses in the Guardians and Royals.</p><p>He now has to take on one of the premier lineups in baseball and face off against Mike Trout who will be smashing the ball against him. Seeing as Kopech gives up a ton of hard contact with an exit velocity of 83.5 MPH and balls being hit at 95+ MPH at a 25.8% rate Trout should feast when Kopech tries to point the strike zone.</p><h2>Paul Goldschmidt to Record 2+ Hits: +185</h2><p>Paul Goldschmidt had himself a series against the Cleveland Guardians. He is coming off a 2-4 game where both hits were for extra bases, 1 double, and 1 home run. During the series, he hit .333 (4-12) with 1 walk and 1 home run. On the season he is hitting .294 with 10 home runs and 26 RBIs.</p><p>Today will be a bullpen game for the Kansas City Royals who have the 3rd worst bullpen ERA in the majors with a 4.86 ERA and they have also given up the 4th most hits with 204 hits which 25 (12%) of those were home runs. Goldschmidt should be able to keep his hot streak going in this matchup against one of the worst teams in the majors this Monday afternoon.</p><h2>Ronald Acuna to Record 2+ Hits: +160</h2><p>Ronald Acuna has been on fire as of late and is coming off his best game of the season where had recorded 4 hits while driving in 3 runs. He is now hitting .555 (5-9) in his last two games against the Phillies and that momentum should carry over to start this series against the worst team in baseball, the Oakland Athletics.</p><p>Paul Blackburn will be making his season debut after being put on the disabled list to start the season. Blackburn was one of the bright spots of the Athletics rotation last year being named to the 2022 All-Star team but he gets a daunted lineup in his first start of the season. In his last 4 rehab starts he has given up 24 hits, 13 earned runs, and 3 home runs which doesn’t bode well for him.</p><p>Being as Acuna is one of the hardest hitters to get out, you can expect him to hit off Blackburn early and often in this matchup. It is hard to expect a long outing for Blackburn in this game as well which will give Acuna ample opportunities to smack some balls against the league’s worst bullpen.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The Angels are coming off losing game 1 of this interleague series and is hoping they can avoid losing the series at 10:07 P.M. EST. So let’s take a look at our MLB prop bets odds <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/betting" rel="noopener">series</a> this Saturday night matchup on May 27th.</p><p><i><b><a href="https://sportsbook.fanduel.com/navigation/mlb" rel="noopener sponsored">MLB Prop Odds</a>, Courtesy of FanDuel</b></i></p><h2><b>MLB Prop Bets Odds</b></h2><p>Shohei Ohtani to Record 2+ hits: +320</p><p>Mike Trout to Record 2+ RBIs: +430</p><p>Jon Berti to Record a Hit: -145</p><p>Jared Walsh to Hit a Home Run: +430</p><p>Gio Urshela to Record 2+ Total Bases: +140</p><h2>Shohei Ohtani to Record 2+ hits: +320</h2><p>Ohtani is one of the most dangerous hitters in baseball, and he has been on a tear lately. He is batting .275with 12 home runs and 33 RBIs in 2023. He is facing a right-handed pitcher in Edward Cabrera, which is his preferred matchup. Ohtani has a .282 batting average against right-handed pitchers this season. Ohtani is a premier batter against fastballs and seeing as Cabrera throws heat, he should feast in tonight’s game.</p><h2>Mike Trout to Record 2+ RBIs: +430</h2><p>Mike Trout has been a consistent producer of RBIs throughout his career. He is batting .280 with 12 home runs and 28 RBIs in 2023. He has also driven in multiple runs in 2 of his last 3 games. Trout is facing a right-handed pitcher, which he has been mashing throughout his career. Trout has a .900 OPS against right-handed pitchers this season. The Marlins have a below-average bullpen. The Marlins’ bullpen has a 4.52 ERA this season, which is the 12th-highest ERA in baseball. Seeing as Cabrera most likely isn’t lasting longer than 6 innings Trout will have a ton of work against the bullpen.</p><h2>Jon Berti to Record a Hit: -145</h2><p>Jon Berti is a speedster who can get on base in a variety of ways. He is batting .268 with 5 doubles, 2 home runs and 11 walks in 2023. He has also reached base safely in 5 of his last 7 games. Berti is a good contact hitter. Berti has a 72.4% contact rate this season, which is the 10th-highest contact rate in baseball. Ohtani is a strikeout pitcher. Ohtani has a 25.2% strikeout rate this season, which is the 13th-highest strikeout rate in baseball. This means that Berti will have ample opportunities to get on base against him as he will be pounding the strike zone in this matchup.</p><h2>Jared Walsh to Hit a Home Run: +430</h2><p>Jared Walsh is one of the better power bats in the majors. He has been in a slump since coming off the disabled list on May 20th which is why this is a great buy low spot. Cabrera will be hammering fastballs in the strike zone which is right up Walsh’s alley. If Cabrera leaves one of those fastballs up in the strike zone Jared Walsh can certainly take advantage and sail one out of the park which is one the biggest hitters parks in the major leagues.</p><h2>Gio Urshela to Record 2+ Total Bases: +140</h2><p>Gio Urshela is a solid all-around hitter who has been hitting well this season. He is batting .310 with 1 home runs and 20 RBIs in 2023. He is coming off a 3 hit game just last night in the opening series against the Marlins. Much like Berti, Urshela is a great contact hitter against both righties and lefties but against righties he is hitting a healthy .280 with a OBP of .304. Also Urshela loves to be at home where is hitting a whopping .345.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

But instead of talking about creeping up the leaderboard, the outfielder <a href="https://www.mlb.com/news/mike-trout-passes-joe-dimaggio-on-all-time-home-run-list" rel="noopener">was more interested</a> in discussing the Halos completing their first sweep of the Sox since 2015.</p><p>Via MLB.com:</p><p>“It’s big-time any time you can get a sweep against a team like that,” Trout said. “They’re a good team over there. They beat us three out of four out there, so it was good to get a sweep. Our starters have been working fast, getting quick outs. And the bullpen, too.”</p><p>For what it’s worth, Trout did say it was “special” to soar past DiMaggio. However, he didn’t elaborate any further. At this point in his career, the veteran simply cares more about winning and finally getting the opportunity to compete in the postseason, something that’s only happened once since coming into the big leagues.</p><p>Mike Trout and the Angels are actually playing decent baseball so far, sitting at 28-23 in the AL West. They’re just four games behind the division leader Texas Rangers. In fact, Los Angeles has won four in a row as well and seven of their last 10.</p><p>Although Trout finished just 1 for 4 in the rubber match against Boston, that one hit was evidently a big one. The 31-year-old is batting .275 on the year with 12 homers and 27 RBI in 47 games. Trout is now 85th on the all-time home run list.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

You know the type. The five-tool player that can do it all. The one that with every swing you hold your breath, whether he’s the one swinging the bat or the one about to make the play. The one that gets you to come to a random Tuesday night game because he’s playing against your team, even though you have to work tomorrow. He’s currently on the Los Angeles Angels. He used to be <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/angels-news-mike-trout-signed-baseball-little-league-15600" rel="noopener">Mike Trout</a>, but now he’s <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/angels-news-shohei-ohtanis-pitcher-record-vs-orioles-never-been-seen-mlb-history" rel="noopener">Shohei Ohtani.</a></p><p>Baseball fans have known this was coming for a long time, that is, the moment that Shohei Ohtani became the face of the league, the best overall player, surpassing his Angels teammate for the role. Even though we’ve all probably known this for over a year, it didn’t become gospel until the World Baseball Classic.</p><figure class="op-interactive"></figure><p>It was a moment that every baseball fan relished in, seeing two of the games top players who they’d never see otherwise playing against each other because they’re on the same Angels team. It was a palpable moment, full of the situational circumstances you dream about when you’re a kid — bottom of the ninth, one run game, full count. Japan was up 3-2 on the USA.</p><p>In six pitches Mike Trout never touched Ohtani, thus securing the victory over USA and the WBC championship. Whether it was his fastball that made it well past ludicrous speed — 101.6 mph — or his wicked, exorcist needing slider, Trout never had an answer.</p><p>As Ohtani was there on the podium, celebrating Japan’s victory over the USA in the WBC, he wasn’t just holding both the championship and MVP trophies he had earned. He was holding the torch Trout passed to him.</p><p>Ohtani, 28, is just two years younger than Trout, 30. It’s not as if Trout is ancient by any means. He still has a lot of great baseball left in him. It’s that Ohtani is doing things that Trout can never nor would ever do.</p><p>Offensively, the two teammates aren’t far apart from each other. Both hit for power and for average. Defensively is where they are vastly different. Trout has won four gold gloves during his career as an outfielder. Ohtani can play the outfield, but he could also be a Cy Young candidate — which in the modern era is just astonishing. That’s where Ohtani has separated himself from everybody and earned the countless Babe Ruth comparisons along the way.</p><p>What has also hurt Trout, though, are his injuries. For as productive as he’s been, he’s nearly been as injured. And it’s all been in his late 20s. From 2017-2021, he missed about<a href="https://www.theringer.com/mlb/2021/5/19/22443240/mike-trout-angels-injuries-impacting-record-breaking-pursuits" rel="noopener"> 24% of his games</a>, according to The Ringer. Last year, he missed 43 games with a rare back condition, yet he still knocked 40 balls out of the ballpark.</p><p>Trout is also not the showman that Ohtani is. Ohtani seems welcoming to the idea of stardom, whereas Trout has never been one to market himself, which is what<a href="https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/24125053/mike-trout-bigger-marketed-rob-manfred-says" rel="noopener"> disappointed MLB commissioner Rob Manfred</a> back in 2018.</p><p>Since Ohtani threw that sweeping slider to strike out Trout in the WBC, it’s as if baseball has forgotten about Trout. He’s still doing pretty typical Trout things: .288/.361/888 with 10 home runs and 23 RBI. In comparison, here are Ohtani’s numbers: .292/.362/.542 with 10 home runs and 31 RBI. But he’s also 5-1 with a 3.23 ERA.</p><p>The dynamic duo played a big part in the Angels splitting the recent series with the soaring Baltimore Orioles on Thursday. Both homered, with Trout hitting two home runs in as many days after going a week and half without. He was also in the midst of an extended slump where he hit just .185 over his last 14 games until Thursday.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Troutani Making Noise Again 🤩✅<br>Mike Trout &amp; Shohei Ohtani both hit home run number 10 in Baltimore today. 😎<br>Credit: Ballys Mark Gubicza Wayne Randazzo 🎙️<a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Troutani?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#Troutani</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Angels?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#Angels</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Trout?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#Trout</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/%E5%A4%A7%E8%B0%B7%E7%BF%94%E5%B9%B3?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#大谷翔平</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Ohtani?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#Ohtani</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/LTBU?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#LTBU</a> <a href="https://t.co/cTJgqaIhmL">pic.twitter.com/cTJgqaIhmL</a></p><p>— Anaheim Sports (@AnaheimSports1) <a href="https://twitter.com/AnaheimSports1/status/1659379203173937153?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">May 19, 2023</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>Ohtani will continue to ascend in the league. He’ll keep astonishing crowd and critic alike that sees him. And Trout, likewise, will do what he’s always done on the field — that is until the unwelcomed injury bug bites again. At this point, though, through all the stats, marketing or being on the subpar Angels team they play for that has excluded them from the postseason, it’s really about trust.</p><p>Trout hasn’t done what most thought he would do with the Angels, which is get them to the postseason. Him and Pujols couldn’t do it. Now, it seems that him and Ohtani may not be able to do it. Again, is that due to other issues that go through the Angels front office? Without question. But when you’re considered one of the best to ever play the game and don’t even get to play in the playoffs but once in your career, that’s where a disconnect occurs. As unfair as it is, maybe Trout is becoming forgotten because most don’t know how long he’ll be there before he’s gone again.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
