Top MLB Hit Prop Leaders - August 8
Harold Ramirez: Under 1.5 -250
Since making his debut for the Washington Nationals, Harold Ramirez has been an RBI machine. In 23 games for the Nats this season, the Colombian has recorded 16 runs batted in, alongside 27 total bases during that time. Moreover, the 29-year-old boasts a home run and ten RBI in his last fourteen games.
Juan Soto: Over 0.5 -200
On Thursday, Juan Soto and the New York Yankees will seek to complete a series victory over the Los Angeles Angels. Entering the game with an OPS of 1.019 on the season, Soto is second only to Aaron Judge across all of MLB.
"Juan Soto is having his BEST SEASON AS A PRO in his first year as a Yankee. 190 wRC+ | 7.0 fWAR | 28 HR | .437 OBP. PAY THE MAN #Yankees" - Fireside Yankees
A .292 hitter over his past twelve games, Soto's 126 hits on the season put him on pace to best his career-high figure of 157, set in 2021.
Ryan Mountcastle: Under 1.5 -245
Although Ryan Mountcastle might not be hitting with the same power that he used to, the Baltimore Orioles first baseman is having a very consistent season at the plate. A .268 hitter on the season, Mountcastle's thirteen RBIs over the past fortnight leads his club over that span of time.
"3 things guaranteed in life. Death. Taxes. Ryan Mountcastle owning the Jays" - Kam Brice
Masyn Winn: Under 1.5 -260
MLB sophomore Masyn Winn is still considered a rookie, and is making a solid case for the Rookie of the Year Award. A .282 hitter on the season, the St. Louis Cardinals shortstop's .288 average is the highest on his club over the past two weeks, and his 113 hits top any other player on the Cards this season.
"Masyn Winn 110.9 mph double! It's his hardest-hit batted ball in his professional career (in Statcast-tracked games)" - Kareem
Francisco Lindor: Over 1.5 +110
Over his past 25 games, Francisco Lindor has hit .277 with 7 home runs and 21 RBIs. The NL leader in games and plate appearances, the Puerto Rican had a pair of RBIs in the Mets' win over the Colorado Rockies on Wednesday. New York will wrap up their series against Colorado on Thursday, against whom Lindor has 22 hits, 4 home runs, and 18 RBIs in 29 career MLB games.
