Detroit Tigers vs. Atlanta Braves: A Prop Bet Spectacular
September 19, 2025 | 8:41 PM ET
The Setup:
The Detroit Tigers (-117) aim to avoid a three-game losing streak against the Atlanta Braves (-101), who’ll start the underperforming Bryce Elder (5.56 ERA) on the mound. The Tigers’ offense, led by a .520 SLG, faces a pitcher who’s served up 10 HRs in his last 5 starts. Elder’s ERA (5.56) and WHIP (1.45) scream “free batting practice,” while Tigers starter Charlie Morton (5.56 ERA) brings his own volatility.
Key Props to Watch:
1. Matt Olson (Tigers): The Braves’ first baseman is a +390 bet to hit >0.5 HRs. With Elder’s ERA against LHB at 6.75, Olson’s .312 ISO (isolated power) makes him a home-run machine waiting to happen. Implied probability: 20% (for +390).
2. Kerry Carpenter (Tigers): At +390 for >0.5 HRs, the Tigers’ catcher has homered in 3 of his last 5 games. Elder’s 10.38 ERA vs. catchers? A match made in prop heaven.
3. Riley Greene (Tigers): Also +390 for >0.5 HRs. Greene’s .230 ISO and Elder’s 1.35 HR/9? Let’s just say this isn’t a math test.
4. Charlie Morton (Tigers): The Braves are taking the Under 4.5 strikeouts (-114). Morton’s 8.9 K/9 vs. Atlanta’s patient lineup? A gamble as shaky as his control.
The Joke’s on Elder:
Bryce Elder, Atlanta’s “ace,” faces a Tigers lineup that’s slugging .450 off him. With a 17.5-implied-out Over/Under on his innings, Elder’s likely to be yanked early. Take the Over 2.5 ER (-115)—his 5.56 ERA isn’t a typo.
Dark Horse Prop:
Parker Meadows (Tigers): At +400 for >0.5 HRs, Meadows’ .195 ISO vs. LHP and Elder’s 1.45 HR/9 make this a “Why not?” bet.
Final Verdict:
This game is a prop-fest. Take the Over 9.0 runs (-105)—the Tigers’ 4.8 R/G vs. Atlanta’s 4.4 R/G and Elder’s 6.22 ERA suggest a fireworks show. And if you’re feeling spicy, back Matt Olson to hit a moonshot.
“Elder’s ERA isn’t bad—it’s just mathematically challenged.” 🎯⚾
