MLB Prop Bets: MLB Props for Today

Austin Riley to Record an RBI (+160)

Padres vs. Braves, 7:16 p.m. ET

Austin Riley is at home today against a southpaw, and I am intrigued by his RBI prop.

Riley is not having a good year, generating a .294 expected wOBA. However, he might be embarking on a huge second half. He’s already hit three tanks over his past three games, and he’s got a solid 39.5% hard-hit rate versus left-handers this season while faring much better at home (.317 wOBA) than on the road (.271).

JP Sears is starting for the San Diego Padres. Sears has pitched to a 4.58 SIERA and 19.8% K rate. Righties have gotten to him for a .358 wOBA, 40.8% fly-ball rate and 1.80 homers per nine.

Riley will likely hit sixth or seventh in the Atlanta Braves‘ lineup, which isn’t ideal but might not be a bad spot for RBI opportunities.

Wyatt Langford to Record 2+ Total Bases (+115)

White Sox vs. Rangers, 8:05 p.m. ET

Chicago White Sox starter Erick Fedde is struggling, and that makes this a nice matchup for the Texas Rangers. I’m particularly interested in Texas’ right-handed hitters as Fedde has given up a .363 wOBA and 2.72 homers per nine in righty-righty matchups this year.

Enter Wyatt Langford.

Langford hasn’t quite taken the leap in 2026. He’s still been pretty darn good, though, producing a career-best .360 wOBA. He’s been at his best in this split, racking up a .399 wOBA at home versus RHPs.

On a night when the Rangers’ offense could have a lot of success, I like Langford to amass at least two total bases.

Jose Soriano Under 5.5 Strikeouts (-142)

Cardinals vs. Angels, 10:10 p.m. ET

Jose Soriano started out the year pitching at an elite level. He hasn’t quite maintained it, and this is a tough matchup for him.

Over his previous five starts, Soriano has recorded a 6.00 ERA and 4.82 expected ERA. He’s got a good-not-great 21.7% strikeout rate in that span, notching four or fewer Ks in three of his past four outings.

Adding to that, the St. Louis Cardinals don’t whiff much, holding the fifth-lowest strikeout rate on the season.

All in all, this under is my favorite strikeout prop today.

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.
