The rematch of the 2022 World Series between the Philadelphia Phillies and Houston Astros caps off the Sunday baseball slate. The Phillies look to complete the sweep after two phenomenal pitching performances from their aces Aaron Nola and Zack Wheeler. Let’s dive into the best Sunday Night Baseball player prop bets, where Bryson Stott will look to jumpstart the Phillies offense in the leadoff spot.
Sunday Night Baseball Player Prop Bet | Bryson Stott
Bryson Stott has made huge strides in his second season in the big leagues. After the acquisition of Trea Turner, many believed Stott would become an afterthought toward the bottom of the lineup. That hasn’t been the case at all. Now the leadoff hitter for the Phillies, Stott is top 10 in all of baseball in batting average at .322 and is crushing changeups, which is Jose Urquidy’s most thrown to left-handed batters.
Hitting behind Stott will be Turner and Kyle Schwarber, who took Urquidy yard in the regular season last year. The Phillies offense is hitting at the top of the league against right-handed pitching, led by Stott and his .321 average versus right-handers.
Urquidy was used in the bullpen all of last season during Houston’s postseason run, but he has returned to the starting rotation. His 5.64 ERA leads to questions of whether he belongs in the rotation. Expect the Phillies to have their bats ready come Sunday Night.
