Top Phillies vs. Pirates prop pick

For Pirates vs. Phillies, one of the top picks from SportsLine's model is that Philadelphia first baseman Bryce Harper goes Over 1.5 total bases (+102). He records 2.2 total bases in the simulation and the model gives this a five-star ranking, its most confident grade.

Harper has an OPS of 1.010 in July and he even carried that momentum into the All-Star Game, where he recorded a double. Harper's splits against lefties, which is what he'll see in Perez, are even more impressive. He's hitting .316 with a .598 slugging percentage and an OPS of 1.016 this season against southpaws.

After a solid start to the season, Perez now has an 8.11 ERA since the start of May, so look for Harper to take advantage of this matchup and clear this line at a plus-money return. See more picks at SportsLine .
