Get ready for a run-fest as Bryce Harper is set to take on the LA Angels, making the OVER on his Hits + Runs + RBI prop bet a tempting prospect at -135 odds. 

Looking ahead to the upcoming match between the Philadelphia Phillies and the LA Angels, one player is capturing everyone's attention - Bryce Harper. He's been in exceptional form lately, achieving some remarkable results that make it hard to resist the over on his Hits + Runs + RBI prop line of 1.5 (-135).

Harper is currently averaging an impressive 1.19 H+R+R for the season. And that's not all - he's taking it up a notch with a solid 1.29 average when playing at home. Even on the road, he still achieves a remarkable 1.07 average. It's noteworthy that Harper has exceeded 1.5 H+R+R in 35 games this season, demonstrating his exceptional talent.

Let's look at Harper's recent performance instead of focusing on the entire season. In the last 20 games, Harper has been outstanding, averaging a remarkable 1.9 H+R+R and exceeding the 1.5 mark in 12 out of 20 games. Moreover, in the last ten games, his average jumped to an impressive 2.2, with seven games surpassing the 1.5 mark. He maintains his excellent form, averaging an incredible 2.6 H+R+R in the last five games, with four games exceeding the 1.5 hurdle.

The LA Angels' bullpen, which has been unstable lately. This could provide an extra edge to this prop bet, as shaky bullpens usually mean more opportunities for batters to score. And given that Harper is in excellent form, he will likely exploit these opportunities to his advantage.

It's worth noting that the Phillies have succeeded against Tyler Anderson, which could lead to a high-scoring game with Bryce Harper at the forefront. In his eight career at-bats against Anderson, Harper has already hit two home runs. Anderson's BABIP (batting average with balls in play) is .321 this season. The Phillies' lineup has also performed well against Anderson, with an OPS of 1.159 in 40 at-bats. 

Considering Harper's recent impressive performances and the Angels' unreliable bullpen, it's likely that Harper will continue his hot streak. Pair that with the Phillies' success against Anderson, and it's an intelligent choice to bet on Harper's H+R+R line being over 1.5.

It's essential to remember that sports betting is never a guaranteed outcome, and anyone claiming otherwise is likely attempting to sell you something. However, considering Harper's recent performance and the current game conditions, it's difficult not to feel hopeful about the over. So, prepare yourself, stay focused, and observe Harper showcase his skills.
