Best MLB Total Bases Prop Bets: Wednesday, Oct. 5
Below we will break down the best total bases props of the day. You can play these separately or parlay them together for a higher payout.
Here are the top total bases props of the night.
Total Bases Prop Bet #1
Christian Walker Under 0.5 Total Bases (+120)
The Brewers, unfortunately, have nothing left to play for, but they’re still going to put up a fight. They managed to shut out the Diamondbacks on Tuesday, and they’ll have Corbin Burnes on the mound for the final game of the year.
Burnes hasn’t been quite as good this season as he was last year when he won the NL Cy Young award. Still, he’s pitched to a 2.98 ERA while striking out just 10.76 batters per nine innings. He’s ultimately still one of the toughest pitchers to face in all of baseball.
Walker has had an excellent year for the Diamondbacks, but he’s a feast-or-famine type of hitter. He’s currently sitting on 36 homers – the sixth-best mark in the league – but he sports just a .238 average. He’s also been a bit worse against right-handers than left-handers, so he’s capable of going hitless in such a difficult matchup.

Total Bases Prop Bet #2
Jake Fraley Over 1.5 Total Bases (+140)
Fraley was acquired by the Reds as part of the deal that sent Jesse Winker and Eugenio Suarez to the Mariners in the offseason, and he’s blossomed into one of the team’s best players over the second half of the year. He’s posted a 146 wRC+ since the All-Star break and hit for both average and power.
He’ll look to end his season with a bang against Cubs right-hander Adrian Sampson. Sampson has pitched to a 3.10 ERA in his second year with Chicago, but his advanced metrics suggest he’s been lucky. His xERA sits at 4.46, and he ranks in the 12th percentile in expected batting average and the 20th percentile in expected slugging. He’s also managed just 6.20 strikeouts per nine innings, so he allows plenty of contact.
Ultimately, Sampson is not that intimidating of a pitcher, so +140 is a pretty appealing number for Fraley.
