Gavin Williams leads the arms slate with a favorable home matchup versus Kansas City, followed by a value play in Bryce Miller against Los Angeles. Julio Rodríguez anchors a Mariners stack, while Jazz Chisholm Jr. and Randy Arozarena offer versatile ceiling via righty power and speed. The slate leans into Padres and Yankees stacks: Tatis, Machado, Sheets and O’Hearn for San Diego; Judge, Bellinger, Rice, and Stanton for New York. O’Hearn and Manzardo provide bargain-bat upside, and Ramirez anchors a Guardians’ build.

Three strong MLB prop bets headline September 5: Junior Caminero over 1.5 hits+runs+RBIs as Rays host Guardians, Eduardo Rodríguez at -120 for 2+ walks in the Diamondbacks–Red Sox game, and Ivan Herrera over 1.5 hits+runs+RBIs as Cardinals visit the Giants. Caminero excels at home on a Rays homestand, Williams provides a tougher test for CLE, and Herrera’s recent TTOs hint at upside against a rookie starter. These plays lean on hot recent form, park factors, and pitcher control volatility.

Verlander piled up 121 pitches over five scoreless innings in a 13-2 Giants rout of the Orioles, punching his third win and lowering his ERA to 4.29 with 10 strikeouts in a vintage, high-stress performance. The outing showcased his durability at 42 and kept San Francisco in a strong position in the playoff chase, while Cleveland’s Gavin Williams later echoed the heavy-workload approach with a 126-pitch effort. Henderson and Mountcastle provided late resistance for Baltimore, but the night belonged to Verlander and a Giants lineup that feasted once he moved past five innings.

Guardians 4, Mariners 3: Manzardo homers again, Kwan makes a highlight-reel catch, and Gavin Williams shoves seven innings of one-run ball with 8 strikeouts to help Cleveland take the series. Cade Smith locks down the save in 1.1 innings as Cleveland paves the way for a potential sweep with Tanner Bibee facing Bryce Miller in the finale.
