The MLB trade deadline is August 1 this year. Online bookies should think about using trades that will inevitably happen before August 1 to suggest prop bets to their players.

This isn’t as difficult of a task as it may seem. In fact, bookies already missed out on an opportunity involving pitcher James Shields being traded to the Chicago White Sox from the San Diego Padres. Before getting into the trade, let’s discuss pop betting in MLB.

Profit From MLB Trades With Trade Prop Bet Suggestions

Bookies, especially if they work with a pay per head company, can offer prop bets on every single MLB game every day. The prop bets can be anywhere from total hits, runs, RBIs and strikeouts for a player, to most strikeouts by a pitcher, to whether or not there will be a score in the first inning.

Strikeouts by pitchers is a popular prop. Chris Sale, the White Sox ace, almost always is at 8.5 to 9.5 strikeouts per game. It’s usually popular for MLB prop bettors to go over Sale’s strikeout total per game more than they go under. But most sports bettors aren’t always prop bettors. MLB prop bettors garner some of the lowest action of any wagers in the sportsbook. This is where an online bookie can educate his or her players about prop bets by using trades.

Let’s get back to James Shields for an illustration. Shields was traded from the Padres to the White Sox on June 5. Shields started his first game in a White Sox uniform 3 days later on June 8. It would have been very easy for online bookies to communicate with their players the fact that James Shields had been traded and that prop bets were available for Shields pitching for the White Sox on June 8.

Bookies should pay attention to every single trade that happens in the MLB. It’s important to use those trades as an opportunity to suggest prop bets to an online bookies’ players. Prop bets are usually the least bet upon wagers in the sports book. Use trades to bump up the action on prop bets. 

The best thing to happen after the MLB season is done is the NFL season.

Chris Paddack Player Prop Bets

Paddack recorded 10 strikeouts over seven shutout innings on Monday in a win over the White Sox. Prior to that start, Paddack was obliterated by the Orioles, allowing nine runs on 12 hits in 5 1/3 innings.

Zach Eflin Player Prop Bets

Zach Eflin has great value in fantasy leagues for the April 26 game against the lowly Chicago White Sox.  Betting on Eflin and the Tampa Bay Rays might make sense if not for the -210 price tag.

Trevor Williams Player Prop Bets

The Nats Trevor Williams held the Astros to one run with four strikeouts across six innings in a no-decision on Saturday.  And the betting public was eating him up at a near 80% clip.
