The Arizona Diamondbacks begin a three-game series with the San Diego Padres at Petco Park on Thursday Night.

Both teams have an uphill climb if they want to be participating in the playoffs.

Zac Gallen will be on the bump for the Diamondbacks while the Padres will go with Rich Hill.

Our algorithm has identified an edge on a Soto player prop at BetMGM — it is expecting the outfielder to turn the corner against the Diamondbacks.

Our models consider quantitative and qualitative factors for every angle of the game — including rest, matchups, stylistic differences, lingering injuries, history and more — to come up with a fair value line for every MLB player prop on the market.

Juan Soto Player Prop Prediction, Projection

Soto has been struggling. There's no doubt about that.

He is batting .265 and slugging .500. Those numbers are a fry cry from what we have become accustomed to in Soto's young career.

But this could be the night Soto flips the switch.

The model indicates Soto's RBI total for Diamondbacks vs. Padres is way too low. BetMGM has set his RBI total tonight at 0.5, with +210 to the over and -275 to the under. That is the best price on the over in the market.

The model predicts Soto will have 0.7 RBI against the Diamondbacks. That's good enough for over 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:  Juan Soto Over 0.5 RBI (+210)
