Tuesday, August 29 MLB odds, props: Bettors all over Mariners' Julio Rodriguez to stay red hot vs. Athletics

The Seattle Mariners ended the longest playoff drought in MLB last season with a Wild Card berth but underachieved for the first half of the 2023 season. However, no team has been better in the majors of late and no hitter is hotter than the 2022 AL Rookie of the Year, outfielder Julio Rodriguez. He's taking big action Tuesday among the most popular MLB props at DraftKings as Seattle hosts the Oakland A's.

Seattle won its fourth straight game and 12th in its past 13 Monday in a 7-0 whitewashing of the A's. Rodriguez, who seemingly succumbed to the sophomore slump for a while earlier this year, extended his hitting streak to a career-best 13 games by going 4-for-5 with a homer, three runs scored and three RBI. He was a triple shy of what would've been the fifth cycle in franchise history.

It was his Rodriguez's third straight game with a homer. He's +340 to hit another tonight after being priced +420 on Monday. The 22-year-old is batting .516 (32-for-62) with five homers, six doubles and 21 RBI during his hitting streak.

In his past 10 games, Rodríguez has 28 hits -- the most by any player in a 10-game span since Kenny Lofton had 28 from April 10-April 22 in 1997. That includes five games of at least four hits, making Rodriguez the only player since 1900 with five four-hit games in a 10-game span.

The popular prop Tuesday is Rodriguez Over 1.5 hits + runs + RBI (-160). Rodriguez now leads the American League with 153 hits, ranking ahead of Toronto's Bo Bichette (152), who may land on the injured list, and Texas' Marcus Semien (151). Overall, Rodriguez is batting .286 with 24 HR, 87 RBI and 82 runs scored in 126 games.

Against Oakland this year, he's 12-for-30 with four doubles, a homer, seven runs scored and five RBI. The A's start lefty Ken Waldichuk (2-7, 6.05 ERA), and Rodriguez is 1-for-2 off him with an RBI.

Seattle's 20 wins in August have tied a franchise record for any month, achieved four times before, in June 1997 and thrice in their historic 116-win season in 2001 (April, May, and August). The M's continue to lead the AL West by a game over Texas and Houston.

Tonight's other popular MLB player props at DraftKings:

Mets' Jose Quintana Over 2.5 earned runs allowed (-135) vs. Rangers: In seven starts, Quintana has allowed more than 2.5 earned runs twice but gave up a season-high five last time out in Atlanta.

Blue Jays' Jose Berrios Under 18.5 outs recorded (-180) vs. Nationals: Berrios has gone Under 18.5 outs in eight straight outings.

Astros' JP France Under 4.5 strikeouts (-185) at Red Sox: France was shelled for 10 runs last Thursday at home vs. Boston and whiffed three in 2.1 innings.

Braves' Charlie Morton Under 7.5 strikeouts (-170) at Rockies: Morton comes off back-to-back double-digit strikeout outings, but those were at home. He whiffed eight Rockies on June 18.
