There are two young pitchers that I absolutely love in the prop market on Thursday night, but for very different props.

It starts with Boston Red Sox righty Brayan Bello, who has a 2.70 ERA over his last 11 starts and is quickly becoming Boston's most reliable arm in the rotation.

Later in the night, I'm betting on Los Angeles Dodgers rookie starter Emmet Sheehan in a favorable matchup with the Colorado Rockies.

Let's break down the picks:

Best MLB prop bets today

• Emmet Sheehan UNDER 3.5 earned runs (-130)
• Brayan Bello OVER 4.5 strikeouts (-135)

Emmet Sheehan UNDER 3.5 earned runs (-130)

Dodgers rookie Emmet Sheehan has been great in his first two starts this season, posting a 1.50 ERA in 12 innings of work.

Sheehan allowed just two earned runs in his last start, and now he takes on a Rockies team that ranks 16th in OPS on the season.

I think this line is a little high for Sheehan, especially since he's only allowed seven baserunners through his first two starts.

Brayan Bello OVER 4.5 strikeouts (-135)

Brayan Bello has been great for Boston this season, allowing three or fewer runs in every start since his first outing of the season.

He's also punched out five or more batters in nine of his 12 starts, including three of his four starts this month.

Bello also ranks in the 58th percentile in chase rate this season, so he should be able to generate some swing and miss from this Miami Marlins lineup.
