Player Prop Bets for Royals vs Rockies - July 31st, 2026

-110O/U: 11
(-110/-110)-110

Michael Wacha – Over/Under 4.5 Strikeouts (+100/-130)
Given the 0.56 discrepancy between Michael Wacha’s 7.07 K/9 and his 7.63 estimated true talent K/9 (via the leading projection system, THE BAT), it’s safe to say he’s been one of the unluckiest pitchers in Major League Baseball this year when it comes to strikeouts and should perform better in the future.
Explain: Pitchers that are underperforming should be expected to pitch better going forward, which can create value on K prop Overs if the lines are too heavily weighing the lucky, to-date underperformance.
Michael Massey – Over/Under 1.5 Hits (+165/-215)
Michael Massey is projected to bat 5th on the lineup card in this matchup, which would be an upgrade from his 79% rate of hitting in the bottom-half of the batting order this season.
Explain: The higher in the order a player bats, the more plate appearances he will get and the more opportunities he will get to hit the Over for every market. A player who hits higher in the order than he normally does may provide extra value opportunity since the market may be based on him hitting lower.
Kansas City Royals – 2H Moneyline
The Kansas City Royals bullpen profiles as the 3rd-worst in the league, via the leading projection system (THE BAT).
Explain: Most bettors only consider the starting pitcher, but a weak bullpen sneakily creates an easier matchup for the opposing offense and boosts a game’s runs.

Tomoyuki Sugano – Over/Under 3.5 Strikeouts (-110/-120)
Tomoyuki Sugano’s 2415-rpm fastball spin rate this year ranks in the 81st percentile out of all starters.
Explain: Spin rate is a key component to fastball success in generating strikeouts and preventing runs.
Hunter Goodman – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (-115/-115)
Hunter Goodman has been cold recently, with his seasonal exit velocity of 90.7-mph dropping to 78.9-mph in the last week’s worth of games.
Explain: Hitting the ball hard increases the chances of either a home run or the ball landing in fair territory for a hit before a fielder can get to it.
The Colorado Rockies offense projects for the 3rd-most runs of all teams today, according to the leading projection system (THE BAT X).
Explain: THE BAT X is a highly sophisticated projection system that accounts for a multitude of factors like player quality, ballpark, weather, umpire, defense, and more.
