It’s Easter Sunday which means we’re going to be hanging out with family all day long. For some of us, that’s a good thing. For others, not so much. No matter your situation, one thing that is sure to help get you through the day is knowing there is light at the end of the tunnel. That light is the San Diego Padres and Houston Astros game on Sunday Night Baseball. It’s perfect. Easter is generally a “day” thing so by the time this thing comes on, we should be all set with family time. On top of that, it offers a chance to stuff a little cash in our pockets before we call it a day. I can’t think of a better thing to do than throw down on a couple of player props for this thing. Lucky for us, I found two. Feels right.

Padres vs Astros Player Prop #1 – Jeremy Pena Over 1.5 Hits + Runs +RBI

We’ve got boosts today and damn it, we need to use them. The first one is a little tricky since it’s a “live” boost but at the end of the day, it’s easy. All we have to do is wait for this game to start, and then place our wager. Since the Astros are at home, they will bat second so we’ll have plenty of time if we just take a Houston batter.

I’m thinking Jeremy Pena solely on what he’s doing to four-seam fastballs.

As much as I want to take Pena to hit a dinger, I think he’s best played in the hits + runs +RBI market. Obviously it’s a little easier to hit those, hence the price. Still, since we have a boost, we can make this thing plus-money which will make us feel alive. It’s the perfect crime.

Pena is going to see Dylan Cease tonight which used to be a bad thing but he hasn’t been great this season. In fact, he’s been the opposite of good. Righties are hitting .361 off of him which is terrible. Given the fact that Pena hits behind Yordan Alvarez in the order, we could easily get a couple at bats with guys on base. Feels easy.

• The Bet: Jeremy Pena Over 1.5 Hits + Runs +RBI (+115) – DraftKings (With Boost)

Padres vs Astros Team Prop #2 – Yordan Alvarez to Hit a Home Run

I know we just bet Jeremy Pena because we think Yordan Alvarez could be on base but stay with me here. What if Yordan just hits one over the fence? I mean, that could easily happen. We’ve seen him do it before.

It’s not like he’s not going to see a pitch mix that agrees with his stroke. The guy smokes four-seamers and sliders which is exactly what Dylan Cease throws.

Before we get too carried away, Alvarez has seen Cease 21 times and has yet to put one in the seats against him. That would bother me if I was a pitcher vs batter guy but I’m not. We have no idea of the circumstances surrounding those at bats. What if they were years ago? What if Cease is in full decline mode now? Those are good questions.

What we do know is Cease has given up two home runs in just 52 lefty plate appearances this season. That’s not terrible, but it’s not good either. Alvarez just hit two balls 102+ mph yesterday so he’s seeing everything very well. Plus, with the boost this thing is +565. Feels right.

• The Bet: Yordan Alvarez HR (+565) – FanDuel (With Boost)

As the San Diego Padres take on the Houston Astros in Sunday Night Baseball on April 20, fans and bettors alike are eagerly anticipating the matchup. With two talented teams facing off, there are plenty of player prop bets to consider for this exciting game.

One of the top player prop bets to watch for is Fernando Tatis Jr. hitting a home run. Tatis Jr. is known for his power at the plate and has the ability to go deep at any moment. With the short porch in left field at Minute Maid Park, Tatis Jr. could have a good chance of hitting a home run in this game.

Another player prop bet to consider is Jose Altuve recording multiple hits. Altuve is a consistent hitter and has the ability to get on base multiple times in a game. With his speed on the basepaths, Altuve could also be a threat to steal a base or two in this matchup.

For pitching prop bets, keep an eye on Yu Darvish and Zack Greinke. Darvish has been dominant on the mound this season and could be a good bet to record double-digit strikeouts in this game. Greinke, on the other hand, is a crafty veteran who knows how to keep hitters off balance. A prop bet on Greinke recording a quality start could be a smart play.

Overall, there are plenty of player prop bets to consider for the Padres vs Astros Sunday Night Baseball game. Whether you’re betting on home runs, hits, strikeouts, or quality starts, there are plenty of opportunities to cash in on this exciting matchup. Be sure to do your research and consider all factors before placing your bets.
