Prediction

Colton Cowser's prop for Batter Doubles Over 0.5 at +334 offers intriguing value. Given Zach Eflin's inconsistency and the Orioles' need to generate offense, Cowser has a good opportunity to get an extra-base hit. Additionally, the over on Batter Total Bases 1.5 at +129 is another favorable bet considering Cowser's ability to hit for power and get on base.
