MLB Prop Bets: MLB Props for Today

Jazz Chisholm to Record 2+ Hits/Runs/RBI (+100)

Astros vs. Yankees, 7:06 p.m. ET

I’m intrigued by the New York Yankees‘ offense today at home versus Hayden Wesneski.

In his career, Wesneski has permitted 1.73 homers per nine to lefty bats while pitching to a 4.45 xFIP in the split, so lefties are where I’m dialing in.

That puts me on Jazz Chisholm. It’s been a down year for Chisholm, but he’s still got a decent .327 wOBA and 44.7% fly-ball rate at home. He’s also in a good groove at the moment, racking up a huge .651 wOBA over his last 16 plate appearances, homering once with two doubles in that span.

The Yanks’ offense has been improved of late, and that should help Jazz in terms of run-scoring and RBI chances on a night when the Bronx Bombers are even money to score over 4.5 runs.

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. to Record 2+ Total Bases (+105)

Royals vs. Blue Jays, 7:08 p.m. ET

A lot has been made about Vladimir Guerrero Jr.‘s poor season. While the results have been poor, the underlying numbers aren’t horrible, and I like these plus-money odds on Vladdy to tally two-plus bases today in a date with lefty Noah Cameron.

Guerrero’s .333 expected wOBA looks more serviceable than his .305 actual wOBA. His 5.4% homer-to-fly-ball rate — well off his career 16.4% clip — has been a meaningful factor in his ugly power output (7 HRs). Aside from some bad luck, he’s still productive against lefties, registering a .338 wOBA and 40.0% hard-hit rate in the split.

Cameron is a pretty good pitcher, but him being a lefty helps Vladdy’s outlook. Plus, once Cameron departs, he’ll hand it over to a Kansas City Royals bullpen that is dead last in second-half reliever xFIP (4.99).

Jung Hoo Lee to Record 2+ Total Bases (+120)

Diamondbacks vs. Giants, 9:46 p.m. ET

Rookie RHP Jose Cabrera is expected to start for the Arizona Diamondbacks, and he’s not having much success early in his MLB career, posting a 5.16 SIERA and 5.60 ERA through his first 17.2 innings.

Jung Hoo Lee has a career-best .327 wOBA, and his plate appearances usually end with a ball in play as he’s got a 10.0% K rate and 4.1% walk rate. That’s good for this market as walks don’t help us. Lee is at his best with the platoon advantage, mashing his way to a .340 wOBA versus righties.

Facing a struggling pitcher and with the wheels to cash this in one swing, Lee can notch two-plus bases tonight.

MLB Prop Bets -- Frequently Asked Questions

What are MLB player prop bets?

MLB player prop bets are wagers on specific statistical outcomes tied to individual players during a game — not on which team wins or loses. You might bet on how many strikeouts a starting pitcher records, whether a shortstop gets a hit, or how many total bases an outfielder accumulates.

Because they are isolated to a single player's performance, props let you apply focused knowledge about matchups, recent form, and ballpark conditions rather than predicting the full game result.

What types of MLB player props are available?

FanDuel offers a wide menu of MLB props. The most common categories include:

• Pitcher strikeouts
• Batter hits
• Home runs
• Total bases
• RBIs
• Stolen bases
• Pitcher outs recorded

How do MLB player prop bet odds work?

MLB prop odds use the standard American (moneyline) format. A negative number shows how much you must wager to profit $100. A positive number shows how much a $100 bet returns in profit.

• -110 odds — bet $110 to win $100
• +130 odds — bet $100 to win $130
• -200 odds — bet $200 to win $100

What does "total bases" mean as a prop bet?

The total bases prop counts the bases a batter earns from hits in a single game:

• Single = 1 base
• Double = 2 bases
• Triple = 3 bases
• Home run = 4 bases

Walks, hit-by-pitches, and stolen bases do not count. A typical total bases line is set at 1.5 or 2.5. Betting over 1.5 means you need at least a double, or two singles.
