Cincinnati Reds MLB Prop Bets - Saturday - 5/4/24

Baltimore Orioles first 5: Under 2.5 runs

Reds Team Total: Under

Elly De La Cruz: Over 0.5 stolen bases

Baltimore Orioles

Andrew Abbott may not be the most dazzling pitcher, but he is effective. Abbott has only allowed more than two runs in one of his starts. Andrew should have command over this Baltimore lineup early, and we will cash our bet by the time this lineup rolls around for the third time, which is where Abbott can get in trouble.

Pick: First 5 Under 2.5 runs

Reds

On the other side, John Means is another pitcher that does not have the most electric stuff, not throwing more than 4 K's in a game. However, he has a knack for getting out of jams and forcing hitters into outs. We think this will be a low-scoring game and the Reds stay Under.

Pick: Team Total Under

Elly De La Cruz

De La Cruz has a .389 OBP, so we can expect to see him on first at least once this game. Elly has elite speed, and in the first game of this series he stole second, was called back for batter interference, and stole it on the next pitch. De La Cruz can steal second at will.

Pick: Over 0.5 stolen bases
