We quietly swept the board on Friday and are now poised for a solid weekend. I've got three arms that are going to help us stay hot.

So,  let's dive into our top MLB player props  for Saturday, June 15 — featuring bets for Patrick Sandoval, Adam Mazur and Ty Blach.


MLB Player Props: Saturday, June 15


Angels vs. Giants

Saturday, June 15, 4:05 p.m. ET, NBCS-BA
Patrick Sandoval under 17.5 outs at +105 (Bet365)

It has not been a great season for Angels lefty Patrick Sandoval. The 27-year-old enters this outing with a 5.23 ERA and 1.47 WHIP.

He's not set to improve on those numbers this afternoon as he takes on the San Francisco Giants. The Giants may be buried in the NL West standings, but they have done a great job of burying left-handed pitching this season.

The Giants rank seventh in wRC+ against lefties on the season and have the best wRC+ against them over the last 30 days. They are bound to have loads of traffic on the bases against Sandoval, which will shorten his outing.

That has been his theme this season. He has gone under this total in 63 percent of starts this season and 63 percent of his last 69 starts. That hit rate gives us implied odds of -170 that he'll be hitting the showers early.


Padres vs. Mets

Saturday, June 15, 4:10 p.m. ET, SDPA
Adam Mazur under 4.5 strikeouts at -145 (DraftKings)

The San Diego Padres are set to hand the ball to Adam Mazur for his third big league start tonight. The 25-year-old has a big-league repertoire, but his command has made him very ineffective in his first two career starts.

Mazur has walked seven guys in nine innings, and his inability to get ahead of hitters has limited his strikeouts. He has struck out just four batters over two starts and he will face a New York Mets lineup that is trending up.

While the Mets' run production has been fluctuating this season, they have consistently put the ball in play and are middle of the pack in walk rate.

Given Mazur's command issues, expect this veteran Mets lineup to make him work and keep the strikeouts to a minimum.


Pirates vs. Rockies

Saturday, June 15, 9:10 p.m. ET, COLR
Ty Blach under 3.5 earned runs at -120 (Bet365)

Lastly, we head to Coors Field where backing Ryan Feltner was profitable yesterday. With Ty Blach taking the mound against the scuffling Pirates, we have another plus-money opportunity to capitalize on.

Blach's earned run line is at 3.5. Much of that is due to the amplified hitting environment that he'll be pitching in. So, on paper, it would enhance the Pirates here.

However, Blach has been solid at Coors Field this season, only allowing three runs or less in five of his seven starts at home. That trend expands on the road, too, as he's gone under in 60 percent of his starts this year.

Back a Rockies starter again, as Blach deserves more respect in this matchup.
