Betting on props in Major League Baseball is sometimes easier than handicapping full games (bullpens, am I right?), and I’ve got two that I’m focused on for Monday’s seven-game slate.

We’re starting with a young lefty in Washington Nationals starter Mitchell Parker, and we close the picks with a veteran left-hander in Atlanta Braves star Chris Sale. 

Can these pitchers take us to the promised land? 

Best MLB Prop Bets Today for Monday, July 8Mitchell Parker UNDER 5.5 Hits Allowed (-130)Chris Sale OVER 6.5 Strikeouts (-155)

Mitchell Parker UNDER 5.5 Hits Allowed (-130)

Parker is in a prime spot on Monday night, as he takes on the St. Louis Cardinals, who have struggled against left-handed pitching all season long.

The Cardinals rank 29th in the league in OPS and 29th in batting average (.222) against lefties this season, which should set up well for Parker to keep them out of the hit column. 

The youngster has held his opponents to five or fewer hits in nine of his 15 starts in 2024, and he’s only allowed more than six hits one time. So, we’re looking at a pretty solid floor when it comes to this prop. 

Plus, Parker’s WHIP (1.09 on the season) drops to 0.82 at home with opponents hitting just .207 against him. I think he shuts down the Cards at Nationals Park on Monday. 

Chris Sale OVER 6.5 Strikeouts (-155)

Was getting sent to Atlanta all Sale needed to turn his career back around? 

The seven-time All-Star has been lights out in 2024, posting a 2.71 ERA in 16 starts while striking out 127 batters in 99.2 innings of work. 

Sale has picked up at least seven strikeouts in 12 of his 16 starts in 2024, including 10 of his 11 starts since May 1.

His opponent on Monday – the Arizona Diamondbacks – doesn’t strike out a ton (7.88 per game), but Sale’s advanced numbers are too good for me to pass him up at this number.

The veteran lefty ranks in the 95th percentile in strikeout percentage, the 88th percentile in whiff percentage and the 96th percentile in chase rate. I expect him to stay hot on Monday night.

Ruben Amorim’s 3-4-2-1 system at Manchester United has certainly divided fans, and the jury is still out as to whether it works or not. One of the major changes to the system compared to previous great United teams over the years is the midfield.

Amorim operates with two number sixes in a double pivot, with two number 10s ahead of those, either side of the striker. He has adapted Bruno Fernandes’ game, with the talismanic United midfielder now playing in that pivot, rather than close to goal, where he has had lots of previous success for the club.

Another player who has been affected by the different system is Kobbie Mainoo.

Why Kobbie Mainoo is in an awkward situation

It has certainly not been the easiest season for one of the most exciting young midfielders in the world, Mainoo. The 20-year-old ranked 36th in the recent Golden Boy awards, highlighting just how big a talent he is.

However, the 2025/26 season has not been plain sailing for Mainoo, through no fault of his own. The boyhood United star has only played 166 minutes across five games this term, and has registered an assist in that time. He’s yet to start a Premier League game.

Well, many United fans are confused as to why the England international cannot break into their starting lineup. Former Red Devils midfielder Owen Hargreaves said after the Manchester derby that he’ll “never know” why Amoirm isn’t picking Mainoo.

Indeed, it is strange, given the young midfielder’s exploits during his short career so far. The 20-year-old has started a final at a major tournament for England and scored an FA Cup final-winning goal.

Mainoo’s lack of involvement at United this season has certainly been disappointing, given his obvious talent, and left him in an awkward situation. Interestingly, there was a former United midfielder who was ahead of him at one stage.

The ex-midfielder ahead of Mainoo

Although Mainoo has not been given any opportunities this season, the 20-year-old is without doubt a huge talent. He could certainly be viewed as the heir in line to the throne when it comes to legendary United midfielders.

Well, before Mainoo made his first-team debut, there was someone else who could have staked a claim to that title. Fellow academy graduate Zidane Iqbal made his first-team debut just under a year before the England international, but did not quite follow the same career path.

Iqbal’s only game for United came in the Champions League against BSC Young Boys. He only played one minute of normal time, and never failed to get onto the pitch again, despite being on the bench several times.

The Iraqi international left the club for Dutch side FC Utrecht in 2023 and was sold for just £857k. He has since gone on to make a real impression for the Eredivisie side, making 41 appearances and scoring once.

The midfielder’s best skill is his passing, which has really shone during his time in the Netherlands. Last season, he averaged 6.58 progressive passes and 5.4 passes into the final third per 90 minutes, ranking him in the top 11% and 16% respectively, of midfielders in the Dutch top flight.

If Iqbal had stayed at Old Trafford and been given a chance to show off his talent, he could have been the natural successor to the famous number 18 shirt. That has previously been worn by midfield maestros Fernandes and, earlier, Paul Scholes.

Interestingly, the Iraqi international looked up to Scholes as a youngster. He once explained, “I’d kind of just base my game off him and put myself in his shoes”, which is not a bad way to learn the art of control in midfield.

Well, to wear the number 18 shirt as a creative midfielder at United, you really do need to be a player capable of pulling the strings. Fernandes has 86 assists in Red so far, and the legendary Scholes amassed 82, per Transfermarkt.

The stats show just how well Iqbal can dictate the game in midfield. He has proven himself to be a true controller of the midfield in a top league, and surely could have been considered worthy enough of donning that famous number 18 shirt.

United fans can only look back on this as what could have been. Iqbal was ahead of Mainoo in his development and perhaps could have formed the perfect partnership alongside the 20-year-old, with the number 18 on his back.

Looking to spend big once again in 2026, Manchester United are now reportedly ready to outbid both Arsenal and Chelsea in the race to sign a talented attacker.

Ratcliffe sets Ruben Amorim timeline

Whilst everyone else continues to panic at Old Trafford, Sir Jim Ratcliffe and INEOS seemingly remain calm. The minority owners are well aware that the Red Devils’ start has been far from ideal, but are still backing manager Ruben Amorim. Speaking to The Business podcast recently, Ratcliffe revealed that he will not be making any “knee-jerk reactions”.

Ratcliffe said: “He has not had the best of seasons. Ruben needs to demonstrate he is a great coach over three years. That’s where I would be.

“The press, sometimes I don’t understand. They want overnight success. They think it’s a light switch. You know, you flick a switch and it’s all going to be roses tomorrow. You can’t run a club like Manchester United on knee-jerk reactions to some journalist who goes off on one every week.”

Not just Zirkzee: Man Utd's £42m flop is now on borrowed time under Amorim

Manchester United’s lack of success in the transfer market has been highlighted by the failures of two players.

ByEthan Lamb Oct 9, 2025

The owner’s verdict should signal major relief for Amorim, who has been a man under pressure in recent months. Reports have even drawn up a list of replacements in the last few weeks, which range from Gareth Southgate to Crystal Palace’s Oliver Glasner, but it looks as though United are sticking with their man for the long haul as things stand.

With that said, the transfer window is once again one to watch. If INEOS are set to stick with Amorim, then they must back him once again and potentially welcome one of the brightest young talents around.

Man Utd ready to prioritise Yildiz deal

As reported by Caught Offside, Man United are now ready to prioritise a deal to sign Kenan Yildiz in 2026 and outbid both Arsenal and Chelsea in the process.

The deal won’t come cheap, with reports suggesting that it could rise to as high as €90m (£78m) next summer. It is, however, one that is worth going all in on. Yildiz is that talented.

The Juventus star has once again been the main man in Turin so far this season, scoring two goals and assisting another four in eight games in all competitions. At just 20 years old, this is just the start for the Turkish winger, who could yet get the chance to showcase his talent on one of the biggest stages in the Premier League if United match his price tag.

Juventus teammate Gleison Bremer even went as far to describe Yildiz as their “own Lamine Yamal” earlier this season and that should tell INEOS all they need to know about the winger, who can also play attacking midfield.

After spending big in the summer, those at Old Trafford should go all out to beat Arsenal and Chelsea to sign the Juventus star next year.

Arne Slot’s Liverpool look a pale shadow of their former imperious selves.

Where to begin? Liverpool are so tactically imbalanced, so open and unsure across each phase of play. The finely-wrought tactics of last season are nowhere to be seen; instead a hodgepodge of high-quality players without a recognisable identity.

Is that a bit harsh? Perhaps it is. But the Reds have got some issues, all right, and the impressive mentality displayed across the opening weeks of the season has perhaps papered over the lack of control and coherence on show so far this year.

Against Galatasaray, Liverpool huffed and puffed but were miles away from their best, and they were indeed defeated in the Champions League.

Liverpool's worst performers in Istanbul

Liverpool thought they had found a lifeline in the dying embers against Turkish giants Galatasaray in Istanbul, but their penalty was overturned by VAR.

And so Slot’s anguish deepened. But the plain truth of it is Liverpool deserved to lose and have much to sort out if they are to challenge for the biggest prizes on offer this year.

Florian Wirtz will be scapegoated by some, but he was a focal creative presence and is devoid of confidence.

However, positives stemming from Ibrahima Konate’s performance were few and far between. The French defender has been out of sorts since the summer, and his error-laden, unconvincing showing against Galatasaray will have done little to quell the noise as he approaches the end of his contract with Real Madrid lurking.

The 26-year-old needs to sort his form out quickly, especially after Giovanni Leoni ruptured his ACL against Southampton in the Carabao Cup last week. Liverpool were unable to wrap up a summer move for Crystal Palace’s Marc Guehi, let’s not forget.

Liverpool’s flanks have been picked upon across a number of games this season, with right-back presenting Slot with something of a conundrum. On Tuesday evening, Dominik Szoboszlai failed in the role.

Dominik Szoboszlai must be dropped

Victor Osimhen had scored early on from the spot, and that goal proved definitive as Galatasaray kept Liverpool out. It was Szoboszlai’s trailing arm which prompted the referee to award that first-half penalty, but that was hardly the extent of the Hungarian’s troubles.

The Liverpool Echo acknowledged that the penalty conceded was soft, but this couldn’t detract from an overall performance that left plenty to be desired, with questions arising as to whether deploying the attacking midfielder at right-back is a viable long-term plan, especially with Jeremie Frimpong and Conor Bradley both in the squad.

Baris Alper Yilmiz was an absolute livewire for the hosts, and Szoboszlai struggled to contain him. The Turkish international won all seven of his duels, as per Sofascore, and indeed won the penalty.

With Liverpool’s versatile 24-year-old beaten routinely, there’s much for Slot to work on going forward. Szoboszlai shifted into a more advanced midfield role in the second half, but he was unable to influence as he might have hoped.

While Slot continues to puzzle over the solution at right-back following Trent Alexander-Arnold’s summer departure, it looks like the Hungarian won’t always be the solution, which is understandable, and so should perhaps be axed ahead of the weekend trip to Sunday, who boast a ferocious frontline indeed.

Liverpool have faced some concerning problems across the opening weeks of the season, but this is not a disaster, this is not a catastrophe.

There is plenty of time for Slot to fix things, but he does need to fix them quickly, and leading stars like Konate and Szoboszlai need to snap themselves back into form.

Arne Slot has problems to fix at Liverpool after an up-and-down start to the season.

ByAngus Sinclair Sep 30, 2025

Liverpool boss Arne Slot has revealed that record signing Alexander Isak faces a race against time to be fit for Saturday’s Premier League clash with Brentford after sustaining a groin problem in midweek. The Dutchman also confirmed that Jeremie Frimpong is sidelined with a hamstring injury, while Alisson Becker remains unavailable and Ryan Gravenberch faces a late fitness check.

Isak yet to shine at Liverpool since £125m move

Isak’s first few months at Liverpool have been turbulent, and his latest setback adds to the club’s growing injury concerns. The £125 million ($166m) signing was substituted at half-time in the Reds’ 5-1 Champions League win over Eintracht Frankfurt after complaining of groin discomfort. Slot later confirmed the issue was minor but admitted the Swedish forward will need to undergo a fitness test before the trip to Brentford.

Isak’s injury comes at a crucial time as he continues to search for his first Premier League goal since joining Liverpool on deadline day. His start to life at Anfield has been hindered by a lack of pre-season conditioning after a chaotic summer exit from Newcastle United. The 26-year-old has featured in eight matches across all competitions, scoring once in the Carabao Cup and providing a single Premier League assist.

The striker’s physical struggles are seen as a product of his disrupted build-up to the season. Having missed team training for large parts of the summer, Isak arrived short on fitness and rhythm. The groin complaint, a recurrence of a historical issue, has therefore forced Slot to balance the striker’s match involvement carefully to avoid further setbacks.

Speaking ahead of the Brentford fixture, Slot gave an honest assessment of his squad’s fitness situation. "Alexander is not too bad. He is a question mark for the weekend so we will see where he is," the Liverpool manager said during his pre-match press conference.

Slot then delivered less encouraging news on Frimpong, who was also withdrawn during the midweek win. "Jeremie Frimpong is not in a good place, he won’t play today, tomorrow or next week," he admitted. "Hamstring injuries so that is going to take a while."

When pressed about potential returns elsewhere in the squad, Slot maintained a cautious tone. "He [Gravenberch] didn’t travel with us so today we are again but yesterday we had a day of travel so let’s see where he is," he said of his compatriot. "Alisson is going to take a bit longer, so we will be patient there."

How will Liverpool cope with injuries?

Isak’s transfer remains one of the defining moments of the 2025 summer window, with Liverpool smashing their own transfer record to lure him from Newcastle United. The deal was finalised after weeks of tense negotiations and player unrest, ending one of the most controversial sagas in recent Premier League memory. However, his early Liverpool career has yet to reflect the fee’s magnitude, largely due to ongoing fitness concerns.

Frimpong’s situation compounds Liverpool’s challenges, particularly given his subdued start since arriving from Bayer Leverkusen. The Dutch right-back’s hamstring problem has ruled him out for multiple weeks, leaving a void in Slot’s attacking setup on the flanks. Meanwhile, Gravenberch, is battling to shake off an ankle issue that kept him out of the Frankfurt match.

Adding to the list, Alisson continues his rehabilitation from a hamstring injury that has kept him sidelined since late September. The Brazilian’s absence has tested Liverpool’s defensive consistency, with Giorgi Mamardashvili stepping in between the posts. The Reds’ injury concerns come amid a congested fixture schedule, which will see them play five games in 15 days.

AFPReds travel to Brentford this weekend

Liverpool’s focus now shifts to maintaining momentum in domestic competition following their Champions League victory. A trip to Brentford presents an opportunity to end their three-match losing streak in the Premier League, but Slot will once again have to rely on squad depth to navigate the fitness issues. Isak’s condition will be closely monitored up to matchday, with the Swede expected to undergo a late fitness test before any final decision is made.

Frimpong’s extended absence could open the door for Conor Bradley or Joe Gomez to feature at right-back, while Gravenberch’s potential return offers midfield reinforcement.

Paris Saint-Germain’s turbulent October continues to expose cracks beneath their star-studded surface. A frustrating 1-1 draw against Lorient has left coach Luis Enrique visibly exasperated, calling his team’s display “bad” and lacking “composure.” With points slipping away, key player injured, and a defining run of fixtures approaching, PSG’s dominance in Ligue 1 suddenly looks fragile.

• PSG falter again as Lorient expose familiar flaws

  PSG’s trip to Lorient wasn't a fixture to remember as the Parisian's fell short of clinching a win, drawing their third match of the season. Despite enjoying most of the possession, the champions looked unusually blunt and uninspired in attack. After a goalless first half where Lorient comfortably absorbed pressure, PSG finally broke through in the 52nd minute when Nuno Mendes finished off a neat move involving Warren Zaire-Emery and Senny Mayulu.

  But just two minutes later, Lorient equalised through Igor Silva, punishing a rare but costly lapse in PSG’s defence. From that point on, the Parisians chased shadows, struggling to create clear chances despite throwing bodies forward. Their lack of sharpness in front of goal and failure to deal with transitions made the performance one of their most frustrating this season. Enrique’s expression on the touchline said it all as the Spaniard was filled with irritation, disbelief, and disappointment, which he clearly expressed in the post-match press conference.

  Enrique's blunt verdict on performance

  The draw in Lorient is not an isolated slip; it’s part of a broader trend that’s begun to worry PSG supporters. Since their 1-0 defeat to Marseille in late September, PSG have stumbled repeatedly – drawing against Lille, Strasbourg and now Lorient, all while looking short of rhythm and conviction. Matches that once looked routine are now turning into tests of resilience they keep failing to pass. The Parisian coach didn’t hide his frustration in his post-match interview.

  "Why did they cause us so many problems? It’s simple, I think we played a bad match. We had a very bad first half, we didn’t create any chances, the opponent defended very well, and it was difficult. We improved a little in the second half, but I think we could play another 90 minutes without scoring today," said Enrique.

  Reflecting on PSG's shortcomings in the game, the PSG head coach said: "I think we lacked composure, we didn't create chances, it's difficult to win an away game like that… Lorient's low block? We're used to those phases of play because most teams defend like that, but when you don't have one-on-ones, movement in space, runs in behind, and you lack composure, it's difficult. Is there frustration? Yes, of course, that’s why I’m a coach. When you don’t get what you want, it’s difficult to manage.”

  PSG are currently on top of the table with 21 points, however, Monaco are coming close to closing the gap being in second place with 20 points followed by Marseille, Strasbourg, Lyon and Lens with 19 points each. 

• PSG's pattern of decline and Desire Doue's injury blow

  From the 1-0 loss to Marseille’s high press to the latest draw against 16th-placed Lorient, PSG’s performances reveal a clear pattern of stagnation. Defensive errors, hesitant decision-making and an inability to break compact lines have all combined to blunt the team’s dominance. Even in matches they win, like against Auxerre or Brest, their play often drifts between moments of brilliance and long spells of uncertainty.

  The situation worsened against Lorient with  Desire Doue’s injury. The French winger was in visible pain and taken off the field in stretcher after a serious hamstring issue. Coming just weeks after his return from a calf strain, the timing couldn’t be worse. Enrique confirmed post-match that it was “not good news,” a statement that further dampened PSG’s night.

  For Enrique, the tactical frustrations now merge with personnel challenges. Without Doue’s dynamism, PSG lose a key link between midfield and attack which is something they have already struggled to establish consistently. Add to that their recurring defensive lapses and lack of final-third precision, and the champions suddenly look less like an unstoppable force and more like a team grappling with its own identity.

  Enrique faces tough challenges against Nice and Bayern Munich

  With a crucial Champions League clash against Bayern Munich looming and a tricky Ligue 1 fixture versus Nice scheduled beforehand this Saturday, Enrique has no time to dwell on disappointment. His next challenge is both tactical and psychological as he pushes to revive confidence, improve finishing, and tighten a defence that’s looked fragile under pressure.

  The Spaniard will likely demand a reaction against Nice, using the match as a dress rehearsal before Bayern. But the growing list of injuries, coupled with recent fatigue, means squad management will be critical. PSG’s title ambitions remain intact, but their aura of control is slipping.

Leeds United’s start to the 2025/26 Premier League season has been impressive. The Whites have begun strongly in their return to the top flight, after two seasons in the Championship.

Of course, their promotion campaign last term was one of complete dominance under Daniel Farke.

They’ve already picked up eight points this season, which, according to Understat, is actually below the number of expected points. That tally sits at 9.96xPTS, which places the West Yorkshire outfit 10th in the table for that specific metric.

After a big summer transfer window, this Leeds side has a new look, with a few of their integral player from the Championship success struggling to get into the side this term.

The Leeds promotion stars who can’t get into team

It might be strange to see a couple of players from Farke’s dominant side last season, now struggling to get any sort of regular gametime this term. One of those is midfielder Ao Tanaka, who was a key cog in the middle of the park in 2024/25.

Yet, the Japanese international simply can’t get a look in, with Farke’s midfield signings of Sean Longstaff and Anton Stach preferred.

Last season, he played 43 times in the Championship, chipping in with seven goal involvements. So far this term, he’s only played 181 minutes of top-flight football.

Midfielder Tanaka is not the only player who falls into this category. Centre-forward Joel Piroe was a key player for Farke last season, scoring 19 times in 43 games, backing up his 13 goals from the season before.

He even bagged four goals in a single game against Stoke City.

After signing Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Lukas Nmecha, however, Piroe simply can’t get a look in. He’s played fewer minutes in the top flight than Tanaka, racking up 147 across just three appearances this season.

He hasn’t scored yet, either.

There is one Leeds player who has played even fewer minutes this season, despite an important role in the 2024/25 campaign.

Why Leeds need to sell the "best in the league"

The start to the new season has shown that Farke is not afraid to make some big calls and replace the players who were so integral last season. You could call it a lack of loyalty, although it is a decision that is proving to be correct so far.

Another player who falls into the same category is goalkeeper Illan Meslier. Once described by Farke as “the best goalkeeper in the league,” he’s now fallen down the pecking order and can’t get into the Whites’ starting lineup.

Last term, the 25-year-old was, for much of the season, Leeds’ first-choice shot-stopper. He played the first 39 games of the season, but for the last seven, he was dropped from the side, following a string of mistakes.

That included his remarkable error against Sunderland.

It was not just that moment against the Black Cats, but “numerous monumental errors,” that cost him his place, according to Jonathan Buchan, BBC Radio Leeds Sports Editor.

As a result, Meslier has not played a single minute this season.

There are stats that back up this poor form on display from the goalkeeper, who was born in Lorient. For example, last season he averaged minus 3.11 goals prevented, meaning he conceded three extra goals than he should have.

Stats from Sofascore

Perhaps it is time for Leeds to move on from the Frenchman. He is the second choice behind Karl Darlow at the moment, and when summer signing Lucas Perri returns, it is surely safe to assume he will become Farke’s third choice.

It is a sad fall from grace for a goalkeeper once so highly rated by Farke. Yet, with the number of mistakes made by Meslier over the last 12 months in particular, it is understandable why he has been dropped, especially in the pressure cooker of the Premier League.

Journalist Graeme Bailey has claimed that Leeds United are keen on signing a “sensational” Champions League player in the January transfer window.

Mixed Leeds injury news ahead of Burnley clash

The Whites make the trip to Burnley on Saturday afternoon, in an important Premier League clash between two of last season’s promoted sides.

Leeds manager Daniel Farke has provided an injury update ahead of the game, admitting that there is both good and bad news to report.

“Good news was Lucas Perri, so he was able to train the last two weeks together with us, so he was able to use also this international break to build up a bit his fitness level. Of course, after being out so long, he can’t be there at 100 percent, but you see him going more or less from day to day, which is good news.

“With Willy Gnonto, he won’t be available for this game because his calf problems are sorted but sadly he had to use the international break for a little minor hernia surgery, so not a major thing but he needed to do this. He will be just back in team training next week so I expect then to have him available, perhaps already for Friday evening for the next home game but definitely not for this away trip.

“Very positive and good news was Daniel James because he is a bit ahead of schedule in his rehab, so a compliment also to our medical department, our rehab coaches. He was even involved already, I would say, in major parts of team training during this week but he is definitely not in contention for the starting line-up. Noah Okafor is also struggling a little bit with some adductor problems, he could be perhaps even in contention to be picked for the squad, so I didn’t expect this.”

Away from injury news, Leeds continue to look at potential new signings, and an exciting attacking player has been mentioned as an option.

Leeds have Champions League ace on their "radar"

Speaking to LeedsUnited.News, Bailey claimed that Leeds are eyeing a potential move for Bodo/Glimt winger Jens Petter Hauge in January.

Hauge stands out as such an exciting option for Leeds, with scout Jacek Kulig once calling him a “sensational” player who always stood out as a youngster with huge potential.

Now 26, the 13-cap Norway international is a proven top-level player, scoring twice in as many Champions League appearances, as well as netting six times in the Europa League.

Hauge is capable of flourishing on both wings and as an attacking midfielder, but is predominantly a left-sided player, and he could add so much quality to Leeds’ attacking midway through the season.

قرر الاتحاد الدولي لكرة القدم “فيفا”، فرض عقوبة إيقاف قيد اللاعبين على نادي الزمالك، على خلفية مخالفات مالية ونزاعات تعاقدية لم يتم البت فيها حتى الآن.

وعلم بطولات أن السبب الحقيقي وراء الإيقاف قضية جوزيه جوميز، مدرب الزمالك السابق، حيث لم يقم النادي بتنفيذ بنود التسوية الموقعة، والتي تقضي بسداد 120 ألف دولار على دفعات.

وكان الزمالك قد اتفق مع جوزيه جوميز في منتصف أغسطس الماضي على جدولة المستحقات على عدة أشهر، وهو ما سمح له حينها بقيد بعض صفقاته الجديدة بعد إثبات نية السداد.

لكن بعد تأخر النادي في استكمال الأقساط وعدم الالتزام بالمواعيد المتفق عليها، تم تفعيل قرار الإيقاف مجددًا حتى يتم سداد المبلغ المستحق للمدرب وجهازه المعاون.
