MLB Player Props for Today

Jesus Sanchez to Record 2+ H/R/RBI (-115)

Jesus Sanchez was a sneaky-good add for the Toronto Blue Jays, and I like him to notch at least two combined hits, runs and RBI.

The Blue Jays have a friendly home matchup against righty Luis Severino. In 2025, Severino struggled to a 4.61 SIERA and 17.6% K rate. He was worse on the road (4.78 xFIP) than at home (4.48) despite the Athletics' temporary home being a hitter-friendly venue.

Sanchez hit 13 of his 14 homers against righties a year ago, and in 2024, he posted a .343 wOBA and 41.4% hard-hit rate with the platoon advantage.

Sanchez will likely hit between fifth and seventh in the lineup against righties, which puts him in a good spot for RBIs -- and an RBI knock will cash this bet. Although he's a pinch-hit risk if he sees a lefty later in the game, Sanchez can cook versus right-handers, and Severino is a below-average RHP.

Framber Valdez Under 4.5 Strikeouts (+118)

Framber Valdez's Detroit Tigers debut comes at pitcher-friendly Petco Park against the San Diego Padres. I think there are a few reasons to back the under on his K prop.

For starters, Valdez -- as good as he is -- isn't a high-strikeout pitcher. He had good-not-great marks of a 23.3% strikeout rate and 11.5% swinging-strike rate in 2025. ZiPS projects him to have a 20.9% K rate this season.

It's also a tricky matchup as the Padres have several strong right-handed hitters. In 2025, San Diego had the game's lowest strikeout rate against LHPs (18.5%).

Lastly, as we saw pretty much across the board in yesterday's games, pitchers rarely work super long in their first starts of the campaign as they ramp up to a full workload -- giving Valdez a shorter-than-normal window to rack up punchouts.

Add it all up, and I'm intrigued by the plus-money odds on Framber under 4.5 Ks.

Mookie Betts to Score a Run (-110)

The Los Angeles Dodgers' loaded offense could erupt again today in a home matchup versus Ryne Nelson, and that has me interested in Mookie Betts to score a run at close to even-money odds.

Nelson doesn't generate many swings and misses or strikeouts, posting a 9.4% swinging-strike rate last year along with a 21.3% K rate. He's actually got reverse splits, with righty bats producing 1.33 homers per nine and a 44.0% hard-hit rate against him in 2025.

Betts' output took a step back in 2025. Is he finally slowing down, or was it related to his preseason illness? Time will tell. What we know for sure is that Betts is in a dream spot in the lineup for run production as he hit third last night for this all-star offense.

The Dodgers are -140 to score over 4.5 runs, and Mookie can get in on the action.
