MLB Player Prop Today from Bet365: Sunday, May 26
MLB Player Prop Today from Bet365: Kris Bryant
It must be the name value leading to Bryant’s total bases line getting to 1.5 on bet365 — because it sure isn’t his performance this year.
Bryant has not played a ton this season, having only 76 plate appearances in 18 games, but he has been back from his injury for about a week now and should be in the lineup with a lefty on the mound.
Unfortunately, that lefty is Ranger Suarez, a legitimate Cy Young candidate who handles righties at an All-Star level. Even if this is a Coors Field game, the situation is not exactly lending credence to a Bryant explosion.
He is not even averaging a total base per game, and the Mendoza line is slipping out of sight — Bryant is hitting just .175. And he’s slugging only .254, so his ISO is a mere .079. There’s no and no power, whether at home or on the road.

But it’s not nearly enough in the mind of OddsShopper’s MLB betting model, as the True Odds here are all the way up to -177. Those True Odds actually make Bryant’s under a profitable bet at most sportsbooks — even sharp book Pinnacle has this at -156.
