We have a quality four-game MLB slate Saturday night after a jammed-packed day slate. The action gets underway with the Astros and Dodgers continuing their three-game set at 7:15 p.m. ET on FOX, and it wraps up with the Angels looking to get back into the win column against the Rockets at 9:10 p.m. ET. If fans want to wager on Freddie Freeman, Pablo Lopez, Josiah Gray, Mike Trout, or other player props tonight, they should check out SuperDraft.
On SuperDraft, users can win 3X the amount wagered if their two-legged player prop parlay hits. Consequently, the more legs you add to your player prop parlay (maximum eight legs), the larger your potential payout becomes, but as the long odds indicate, completing a clean sweep will be challenging.
Below, we'll break down four of our favorite player props on SuperDraft for Saturday night's MLB slate. Users don't necessarily have to parlay all four picks together, though. Instead, you could make separate two-legged parlays to increase your win probability or attempt to hit it big if all four picks come through.

*Entry -four picks (10X) potential payout if all four legs parlayed*
1. Ronel Blanco, SP, Astros @ Dodgers - OVER 4 strikeouts
The 29-year-old starting pitcher has been getting hit around in his first three starts (17 hits and five home runs in 17 IP) since being recalled from Triple-A. Blanco will have his hands full tonight against a stacked Dodgers' lineup, which has only scored seven runs in their past three games but can throw up a crooked number.
For Blanco to be successful tonight and go OVER four strikeouts for his fourth-straight start, he must limit the walks and get ahead in the count. This season, opponents are hitting .200 against Blanco when the count is 0-2 and .133 when it is 1-2. Blanco struggled a bit in his last start against the Reds, where he allowed seven hits, five earned runs (two home runs), and two walks in 5.2 innings. However, the right-handed pitcher still posted five strikeouts. The Dodgers' offense has a 23.1 strikeout percentage this season and 28.1 K% in their past three games. Even though the Dodgers are hitting .246 against right-handed pitching this season, we still like Blanco to go OVER four strikeouts, especially if he makes it through five innings tonight.
2. Pablo Lopez, SP, Twins @ Tigers - OVER 7 strikeouts
The 27-year-old Lopez has been a strikeout machine over his last two starts, which is a good sign heading into tonight's matchup against the Tigers. Lopez allowed six hits, four earned runs, and three walks against the Red Sox at home earlier this week. However, he still found a way to pick up nine strikeouts. The veteran starting pitcher almost had a similar statline against the Brewers (6 IP, four hits, three earned runs, a walk) but recorded nine strikeouts.
We don't envision him having too many issues with the Tigers tonight, who have the 10th-worst K% (23.6) in the majors this season and hitting .225 against right-handed pitchers. Lopez has been excellent on the road this season, sporting a 2.72 ERA and .209 OBA. He's gone OVER seven strikeouts in four out of his past seven road starts (7.1 Ks per game). Users shouldn't overthink this matchup, as the Tigers have been one of the worst offensive teams in the majors.
3. Shohei Ohtani, DH, Angels @ Rockies - OVER 12.5 fantasy points
Ohtani has been crushing every pitch at the plate this month for the Angels, slashing .377/.473/.883 with 10 home runs, 21 RBI, and seven doubles. The two-way superstar just missed out on hitting for the cycle on Friday night as he went 3-for-5 at the plate with a double and home run. If you had Ohtani in your SD entry, he netted you 16 fantasy points.
After his star-studded performance on Friday night, we think Ohtani can go OVER 12.5 fantasy points against Rockies starter Chase Anderson, who has struggled this month with a 7.23 ERA and has allowed at least two home runs in three out of his past four starts. Anderson hasn't had the best of luck against left-handed hitters this season, as they are slugging .273 at the plate. Let's keep riding the Ohtani train as he tries to keep the Angels in playoff contention in the American League.
4. Ezequiel Tovar, SS, Rockies vs. Angels - OVER 1.5 total bases
The rookie shortstop has been hitting the ball well over his past 10 games, recording at least two hits four times. Tovar currently has a seven-game hitting streak, which has boosted his batting average from .246 to .259. The 21-year-old should be able to extend his hitting streak to eight games and go OVER 1.5 total bases against Angels starter Griffin Canning.
Canning has a 4.28 ERA on the road this season but allows right-handed hitters to hit .250 with seven home runs and four doubles. The 27-year-old starter has allowed six home runs in his past four outings and has a 34.7 percent hard-hit rate in his last 17 innings. Meanwhile, Tovar is slugging .268 against righties this season, making it a great under-the-radar play to wrap up the slate.
