MLB Best Bets for July 21

Mookie Betts Over 0.5 Home Runs (+285 DraftKings Sportsbook)

The Rangers are sending southpaw Andrew Heaney to the mound here tonight which should have the right-handed hitters in the Dodgers lineup licking their lips. Heaney has allowed all 17 of his home runs to right-handed hitters this season with a .487 slugging percentage and a .349 wOBA. Betts has an INSANE .439 ISO against left-handed pitching this season and a .720 slugging percentage. If there was ever a time to go yard it would be tonight for Betts. If you want to be a bit more conservative then take a look at going over on his Hits+Runs+RBI prop which is set at 1.5 at -130.

Braxton Garrett Over 16.5 Outs (-125 DraftKings Sportsbook)

I really wanted to take the Braxton Garrett strikeout prop but it's juiced all the way up to -170 here against the Rockies so I will pivot over to pitching outs prop here instead. To hit the over we need Braxton to go at least 5.2 innings pitched and while I know those looking at the game logs may be a bit worried about the fact that he has only reached this mark six times this season, I think it's worth looking at the matchup where he is -180 to give up fewer than 2.5 earned runs tonight and -170 to go over the 5.5 strikeouts. Vegas is expecting him to move through this Rockies lineup and if that holds true then the pitch count shouldn't be too much trouble where he can get to the sixth inning here tonight for us.
