2024 MLB Season Prop Bets: Garcia & Cortes Season Outlook

Host · Writer
In the bustling world of Major League Baseball in 2024, prop bets are capturing the attention of fans and bettors alike. Among the many intriguing prospects, two players stand out with their season-long prop bets: Adolis García of the Texas Rangers and Nestor Cortes of the New York Yankees.
Starting with the power-hitting phenomenon, García is pegged at over 31.5 home runs for the season. This isn’t surprising given his impressive track record of 31, 27, and 39 home runs over the past three seasons, coupled with an ISO (Isolated Power) of .263 last year. Known for his formidable power, García has the potential to send the ball soaring. The primary hurdle he faces is his high strikeout rate, a common issue among power hitters. However, with the Rangers boasting a potent lineup, García is expected to receive quality pitches, reducing the likelihood of pitchers pitching around him. Betting odds strongly favor him exceeding the 31.5 home run mark, showcasing confidence in his ability to make impactful contact.

On the mound, Nestor Cortes’s prop bet takes a different angle. Not typically known for his strikeout capabilities, Cortes’s strikeout rate hovers around 25-26%. Last season, injuries played a spoiler, raising concerns about his ability to sustain a full season’s workload. With the Yankees already without their ace, any sign of injury to Cortes could prompt the team to scale back his innings to preserve the rotation’s integrity. The betting odds are leaning towards the under on whatever strikeout or innings pitched number might be set for Cortes, reflecting caution given his injury history and the Yankees‘ cautious approach to their pitching staff.
These prop bets for Adolis García and Nestor Cortsz not only highlight the players’ individual talents and challenges but also underscore the strategic considerations teams must navigate over the grueling MLB season. García‘s quest to crush the home run threshold and Cortes’s battle against injuries and expectations will be closely watched by fans and bettors alike, adding an extra layer of excitement to the 2024 MLB campaign.
