MLB Prop Bets: MLB Props for Today

Josh Naylor to Record 2+ Hits/Runs/RBI (-140)

Mariners vs. Marlins, 6:41 p.m. ET

The Miami Marlins have moved RHP Tyler Phillips into the starting rotation, and it’s not going well. Over his past four starts, Phillips owns a 7.40 ERA and 8.05 expected ERA. He’s permitted six jacks and 17 earned runs across that 20.2-inning sample.

Josh Naylor can take advantage of the matchup.

Naylor’s output is down this campaign, with the veteran posting a .295 wOBA. While he’s certainly struggling a bit, he’s not doing that badly as his expected wOBA is .318. A .269 BABIP is suppressing his numbers, and his batted-ball profile against RHPs is still strong (38.9% hard-hit rate and 38.6% fly-ball rate).

Naylor is likely to hit fourth or fifth in the Seattle Mariners‘ lineup, and on a night when Seattle’s offense could have a lot of success, I like these odds on Naylor to notch at least two H/R/RBI.

Kyle Harrison Over 5.5 Strikeouts (+108)

Brewers vs. Cardinals, 7:46 p.m. ET

Kyle Harrison has been a breakout pitcher this season, amassing a 3.04 SIERA, 30.6% strikeout rate and 13.5% swinging-strike rate. Basically everything under the hood checks out, too, so it looks like the Milwaukee Brewers have themselves a young stud.

As his numbers attest to, Harrison certainly has the stuff to clear 5.5 Ks. The issue with Harrison is pitch count as he’s topped 85 pitches just once across his past five starts. But there’s a chance his leash is a little longer today as the Brew Crew played a doubleheader yesterday, meaning they’d likely prefer to get some length from Harrison in order to give some guys in their bullpen a little rest.

The last five times Harrison has gone over 85 pitches, here are his strikeout totals: 9, 12, 2, 11 and 7. When allowed to go deeper into the game, Harrison can rank up strikeouts, and I like him to go over 5.5 Ks on Wednesday night.

Roki Sasaki Under 16.5 Outs Recorded (+100)

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

A home date with the Colorado Rockies might seem like a pretty friendly matchup. But the Rox are swinging it well, and I am backing the under on Roki Sasaki‘s outs prop.

Over the last 30 days, Colorado is first in both wOBA (.374) and slugging (.510) while hitting the second-most dingers in that time (44). They’ve been dang good.

Sasaki is showing some signs this year after a blah first season. With that said, he’s still not been all that great as he sports a 4.27 SIERA. He’s giving up plenty of loud contact, including a 40.5% fly-ball rate and 2.04 homers per nine.

Sasaki has recorded over 16.5 outs in only one of his last four starts, and the Los Angeles Dodgers are still pretty cautious with his workload, with Sasaki throwing more than 91 pitches in just one of his previous nine outings.

All in all, this is my favorite prop of the day.

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.
