BOSTON – The week kicks off with eight games of MLB action on Monday including a plethora of big names on the mound and in the batter's box. Here are two player props sure to deliver for bettors tonight.
Garrett Crochet Over 7.5 Strikeouts
The Red Sox ace has been dominant all season long, ranking second in the MLB in total strikeouts with 135 and a 2.06 ERA, good for third best in the league.
Online sportsbooks give Crochet -150 odds to record over 7.5 strikeouts, indicating their confidence in the lefty to continue dealing against the Cincinnati Reds.
He has been elite throughout June, pitching at least six innings in each of his five starts this month and allowing more than one run just one time. Only one of those games ended with Crochet recording under 7.5 strikeouts, which came against the Yankees on June 13th, when he went 8.1 innings and struck out seven.
The Reds have been susceptible to strikeouts, recording 733 strikeouts through 84 games—eighth most in the MLB. They've struck out eight or more times in three of their last four games.
Crochet should have no problem clearing this line, and bettors could potentially look to alternate lines for better value. Bovada currently has his alternate line of 9+ strikeouts at +110 odds.

Aaron Judge To Record At Least One RBI
Judge has had a rough go in June, hitting just .258 for the month with a decrease in both OBP and slugging percentage. Still, his OPS for June sits at .975, which would rank third best in MLB if projected over a full season—a testament to his greatness.
His odds to record at least one RBI at MLB sportsbooks sit at +110, which provides strong value to bettors. He has recorded at least one RBI in three of his last six games, including four RBIs in his most recent outing against the Athletics.
Max Scherzer will pitch for the Blue Jays, which might have been a tough matchup in the past. However, the three-time Cy Young winner turns 41 in July and is no longer the same threat he once was. Scherzer has made just two starts this season, allowing two runs in three innings in his first outing and three runs in five innings last week against Cleveland.
Judge is 4-for-14 in his career against Scherzer, including a home run and two RBIs. In their most recent matchup, Judge went 2-for-4 with a homer.
There will be ample opportunity for Judge to record an RBI, especially if Scherzer struggles and it becomes a bullpen game for Toronto.
