Sanchez & Phillies Ready to Shut Down Miami? Monday's MLB Betting Cheat Sheet Is Live

Monday's MLB slate is all about separation. The Phillies have a chance to put serious distance between themselves and the Marlins, and Cristopher Sanchez is the man on the mound to make it happen. But this is a betting column, not a pep rally — so let's talk value.

Every prop, projection and trend below comes from THE BAT X, the model built with advanced processes similar to what MLB front offices use: player talent, ballparks, bullpens, weather, umpires, defense, catcher framing — all of it baked in.

Batter Props Worth a Look

Pete Alonso OVER 0.5 HR (+439) — Projected 19% chance of going yard, with a $1.60 expected value. The price is big, and the model says there's enough pop to make it interesting.

Adley Rutschman OVER 0.5 HR (+790) — 12% projected chance with a $3.24 EV. That's a dart worth throwing at a longshot number.

Zack Gelof OVER 0.5 RBI (+195) — 38% projected hit rate and an EV of $13.31. The model sees run-producing potential the market might be sleeping on.

Jake Rogers OVER 0.5 H+R+RBI (-121) — 61% projected probability and a $13.63 EV. A solid floor with real value attached.

Chandler Simpson UNDER 1.5 H+R+RBI (+105) — 57% projected chance, $17.22 EV. Sometimes the under is the smarter side.

Pitcher Props to Ride

Shane McClanahan UNDER 4.5 K (+101) — This one screams value: 78% projected probability and a massive $55.94 EV.

Carmen Mlodzinski OVER 2.5 K (-138) — 75% projected chance with $40.31 EV. The model is all over the strikeout potential.

Cristopher Sanchez UNDER 1.5 ER (+111) — 56% projected chance and $18.05 EV. If Sanchez keeps the Marlins off the board early, this is cash.

Mitch Bratt UNDER 2.5 ER (+102) — 56% projected probability and $14.05 EV. Another starter the model trusts to limit damage.

Framber Valdez UNDER 2.5 ER (-135) — 63% projected chance and $13.03 EV. The favorite, but the model still sees value.
