Best MLB Props Today

Philadelphia Phillies at Washington Nationals

6:45 PM Eastern

Wednesday’s NL East divisional match-up will pit Aaron Nola against Miles Mikolas. There are certainly no aces in this deck as Nola carries a 3-4 record with an ERA of 5.71 and Mikolas is just 2-6 with a 5.47 ERA.

Across 19 innings pitched in June, Nola has been the victim of 23 hits, 13 runs allowed, and 5 home runs. The Nationals lineup is primed to take advantage of any mistakes here but one player stands out to me.

Dylan Crews typically does not shine versus right-handed pitchers but his head-to-head stats facing Nola are impressive. He is 5 for 10 lifetime with a couple of extra-base hits. Crews has found his stride as of late, averaging 2.8 hits/runs/RBI per game over his last 10 appearances, surpassing the 1.5 line 8 times.

With multiple hits in 3 of his last 4 games, and a solid history versus Nola, Crews is a hidden gem today that may get overshadowed by the 4 or 5 probable all-stars in this matchup.

Across the diamond, Bryce Harper is looking to stay hot after 10 hits (and one cycle) over his last 4 games. This comes after a pretty deep rut he found himself in for the 7 games before his historic 5 inning cycle. I’m willing to take a chance here on Harper staying streaky, especially against his former team and divisional opponent.

The 2026 season has really been the tale of two forms of Miles Mikolas. He either looks great or horrific on any given night. Harper seems to find more of the Hyde than the Jekyll here and has benefited to a stat line of 9 for 25 with 2 doubles and 2 home runs.

Tonight, you are looking at a pretty standard -115 price tag on Harper to go over 1.5 bases. That seems like a discount for a guy who has 20 bases across his last 4 games. Would you pass up on a brand new Lexus priced like a 2015 Camry?
