Bryce Harper Player Prop Prediction, Projection
Harper has had a solid season at the dish this season as he's hovered around a .300 batting average.
However, he has been struggling to produce RBIs despite the high batting average.
The model indicates that the likelihood of Harper tallying at least one RBI is higher than what sportsbooks believe. BetMGM has set the total for over 0.5 RBI at +170, while the under is -225. That's the best price on the over in the market.
The model predicts Harper will have 0.7 RBI tonight, good enough for close to a 15% betting edge on the over.
Do keep in mind that these algorithms work best when you wager with the same size unit for each individual bet.
Pick: Bryce Harper Over 0.5 RBI (+170)
