The weekly betting column continues to issue MLB prop recommendations. July 19 highlighted player props such as Michael Busch, JJ Bleday and Foster Griffin, noting right‑handed starter splits and venue factors while promoting VSiN Pro. July 24 shifted to pitcher strikeout props, featuring Shane Drohan and offering game‑by‑game money‑line and run‑total picks from Greg Peterson. July 25 slate‑wide picks emphasized starter Griffin’s 1.25 ERA, Nick Martinez’s low hard‑hit rate, and high‑strikeout bets on Paul Skenes (over 6.5) and Robbie Ray (over 5.5), with system insights from Steve Makinen. A new segment on August 4 introduced home‑run prop selections (Pete Alonso, Trea Turner, Tyler Soderstrom, Kyle Schwarber, Max Muncy) and discussed pitcher tendencies that favor long balls. For the August 4‑5 slate, analysts added same‑game parlays, money‑line bets and an expanded home‑run prop list that now includes JJ Bleday, Alec Bohm, Mickey Moniak, Mike Trout, Corey Seager, CJ Abrams, Ben Rice and Kyle Stowers, with odds ranging from +162 to +600. Pitcher picks featured Tarik Skubal, Will Warren and Drew Anderson, while VSiN analyst Steve Makinen and the VSiN betting‑split system highlighted strong returns on home‑team power‑hitting lines and bullpen‑rating based plays, guiding bettors on the mid‑week MLB slate.
