Sunday Night MLB Intel

Bauers is hitting .208 over his last 10 games, 5-for-24, hardly a hot stretch. But this prop isn't asking him to rake, it's asking for one single hit, and a guy getting regular at-bats with five hits in his last 24 tries clears that bar more often than not. The Brewers are in Cincinnati for a 12:10 PM ET first pitch, and Bauers projects for 0.9 hits against a line of just 0.5. Sometimes the form doesn't need to be pretty for the number to work.

Four home runs and 10 RBI over his last 10 games is the kind of power surge that makes a 0.5 total bases line look almost unfair. Montgomery is hitting .243 in that stretch, 9-for-37, but the extra-base pop is doing the heavy lifting here. He projects for 0.8 total bases against a half-run line, and against Minnesota tonight at Rate Field he's shown he can get to one bag in a hurry. The -137 price reflects a hitter who's been finding barrels lately, not just accumulating empty singles.

Contreras has been productive across the board over his last 10 games: 11-for-41, two homers, nine RBI. That's a .268 average with real run production mixed in, and this prop only needs him to combine for two hits, runs, and RBI in one game to clear. With Milwaukee visiting Cincinnati this afternoon and Contreras projected at 1.8 against a 1.5 line, the recent stretch of RBI production is the backbone of this pick. He's been driving in runs and scoring them, and that combination is exactly what this market is measuring.
