Though it is a matchup between the best pitchers and the best hitters — and that usually leans in favor of the pitchers — there will be plenty of hits tonight (July 16) at the MLB All-Star Game. There may not be as many extra-base hits, but there will probably be more than 10 hits in the game. Predicting who will get those is hard, but we've got today's best bets for the hits prop in the All-Star Game.
Top base-hit prop bets for the MLB All-Star Game
3) Shohei Ohtani 1+ Hits +110
Shohei Ohtani is a rare talent. The Los Angeles Dodgers star can hit more home runs than most, but his contact skills have improved over the last few seasons. He's got the fourth-best average in baseball, which makes him a good bet to hit a single or anything else tonight. Despite facing the American League's best, Ohtani is a matchup nightmare in every contest.
2) Bobby Witt Jr. 1+ Hits +105
Bobby Witt Jr. just turned in a stellar performance in the Home Run Derby, coming just a few feet shy of tying Teoscar Hernandez, the champion. His bat-to-ball skills were on full display and will be again tonight. The shortstop will come off the bench for Gunnar Henderson at some point, and he's likely to hit a single during the contest.
1) Trea Turner 1+ Hits -105
Hitting for contact can be a difference-maker in an All-Star Game. The power swings get the attention, but they are few and far between against the league's best pitching. Trea Turner hits for contact, and he's one of the best in baseball at it. That's why he's the favorite to get a base hit tonight. Not only is he the favorite, but he has negative odds, which means it's highly likely. He will have two or three chances in all likelihood.
