Best MLB prop bets today: SuperDraft player prop picks for Wednesday
*10x potential payout if users parlay all four correct picks
1. Mookie Betts, UTIL, Dodgers - OVER 1.5 bases
We're backing the Dodgers leadoff hitter to help his squad stave off elimination, totaling at least two-plus total bases via hits in Game 3. A matchup against Diamondbacks rookie right-hander Brandon Pfaadt (3-9, 4.46 xFIP) is exactly who Betts and company need to see to revive their offense.
Betts has had Pfaadt's number in the two games the rookie faced the Dodgers in the regular season, going three-for-five with one double in their head-to-head bouts. His propensity to routinely the sweet spot of the bat (98th percentile in sweet-spot rate) should lend itself to some success at the plate tonight. We might see Betts hit this OVER in the game's first at-bat.

2. Jose Altuve, 2B, Astros - OVER 0.5 singles
Houston's leadoff hitter is always a safe bet to go OVER 0.5 singles, as three of his four hits this postseason have been singles. With Twins right-hander Joe Ryan making his postseason debut, we think an experienced Astros lineup will take advantage of his playoff inexperience, namely Altuve at the top of the order. There's a chance Altuve records five at-bats tonight, so betting on at least one of those to result in a single looks like a smart wager.

3. Marcell Ozuna, DH, Braves - UNDER 1.5 hits + runs + RBIs
While it's only been two games, Ozuna's yet to record a hit in the NLDS (0-for-6, two Ks, one BB). Things won't get any easier against Phillies right-hander Aaron Nola (12-9, 3.63 xFIP), so we'll fade the Braves' designated hitter until he proves us wrong.
Ozuna hasn't looked all too comfortable in the batter's box this series, and his 25.6 percent strikeout rate against right-handers on the road doesn't give us confidence in backing his OVER.
4. J.D. Martinez, DH, Dodgers - OVER 1.5 hits + runs + RBIs
Since we expect a solid offensive day from L.A., we're also betting on the Dodgers designated hitter to do his thing with runners in scoring position. Against a relatively volatile starter in Pfaadt, we think the top of the Dodgers' order will have success, putting Martinez in a position to hit his OVER in one at-bat.
Martinez was one of the few bright spots in L.A.'s game-two losses, taking Zac Gallen deep to right-center in the fourth inning. Look for him to put forth several quality at-bats tonight, as the 100-plus RBI man likely does his thing with runners in scoring position.
