MLB Prop Bets: MLB Props for Today

Griffin Jax Over 5.5 Strikeouts (-102)

Yankees vs. Rays, 6:41 p.m. ET

The Tampa Bay Rays have found something with Griffin Jax, and I like the over on his K prop today against the New York Yankees.

Since moving to the starting rotation, Jax has made 12 starts, and he's looked dang good -- posting a 23.5% strikeout rate and 13.8% swinging-strike rate. He's been remarkably steady, going at least five frames in five straight starts as he's been stretched out. The pitch count can sometimes be low -- 71 pitches last time out -- but he got up to 88 pitches two starts ago.

The Yankees' power makes them a scary matchup. At the same time, they have plenty of swing and miss, owning the fifth-highest K rate (23.6%).

Jax is missing enough bats to get to six strikeouts. My main concern is pitch count against a patient Yanks lineup, but Jax's 6.4% walk rate over his 12 starts eases those concerns. He can clear this line tonight.

Walker Buehler Under 15.5 Outs Recorded (-140)

Padres vs. Diamondbacks, 9:41 p.m. ET

Walker Buehler's excellent run got caught up in the Wrigley wind in his last start, with the veteran RHP allowing nine earned runs and three jacks in just four innings. While he should have a better outing on Monday, Buehler to record under 15.5 outs looks like a solid bet.

Prior to the nightmare start last time out, Buehler had a dazzling 1.77 ERA over his previous four appearances. But even in that span, he went over 15.5 outs recorded in only two of four starts and didn't go over 16 outs in any of the four as the San Diego Padres have been hesitant to let him go through the order a third time.

Also, the results have been there for Buehler, but he's still struggling to miss bats (8.4% swinging-strike rate). In short, he's definitely improved but still isn't all that great. I think he'll top out at five innings tonight.

Tommy Edman 2+ Hits/Runs/RBI (-130)

Rockies vs. Dodgers, 10:11 p.m. ET

The Los Angeles Dodgers could have a field day against Kyle Freeland, and this Tommy Edman bet is my favorite prop for tonight.

Edman has a good track record versus left-handers, registering a career .346 wOBA in the split. Since returning from injury this season, he's been really good, producing a .416 wOBA over his first 57 plate appearances.

Freeland boasts a 4.19 SIERA and 19.2% K rate this season. He's getting crushed by right-handed hitters to the tune of allowing a .415 wOBA and 2.26 homers per nine in the split.

The Dodgers have -111 odds to go over 5.5 runs, and that gives Edman quality upside in the runs and RBI departments. On a night when LA could go off, Edman can get in on the fun, and I like his chances to notch at least two H/R/RBI.

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.
