MLB Player Props for Today

Janson Junk Over 4.5 Strikeouts (-104)

Janson Junk showed some improved stuff in his 2026 debut, and that comes on the heels of an impressive spring. While we're obviously still dealing with small samples, I've seen enough to buy into Junk being a different hurler this season, and him to strike out at least five Cincinnati Reds is my favorite player prop today.

Junk went 4.1 innings in his first start of the campaign, and he generated a 12.3% swinging-strike rate and 26.3% K rate in that outing. His average fastball velocity sat at 95.4 MPH in that start, up from a 94.2 clip from a season ago.

The Reds are a great matchup. Cincy owns the eighth-highest K rate (26.9%) so far while also recording the sixth-worst wOBA (.288). I think Junk can punch out at least five, and I'm also intrigued by Junk 6+ strikeouts (+198).

Max Muncy 2+ H/R/RBI (+100)

The Los Angeles Dodgers have -113 odds to go over 4.5 runs today versus the Toronto Blue Jays in a World Series rematch. Max Muncy can get in on the fun.

LA will see righty Max Scherzer. A future Hall of Famer, Scherzer doesn't have too much left in the tank at this point in his career. He posted a 10.7% swinging-strike rate in 2025, his worst mark since 2011. Lefties got to him for a .360 wOBA and 2.45 dingers per nine innings last season.

Muncy does his best work with the platoon advantage, generating a .396 wOBA and 48.4% fly-ball rate in the split last year. He might bump up a spot in the batting order with Mookie Betts on the shelf, and that would put Muncy in an even better spot to drive in a run or score a run.

All in all, Muncy has a few paths to cash this prop, and the matchup versus Scherzer suits him well.

Ryan Feltner Over 14.5 Outs Recorded (-112)

With Ryan Feltner taking on the Houston Astros at Coors, this bet isn't for the faint of heart. But I think it's the right call.

Feltner, like Junk, might be an improved pitcher this season. He was superb in his 2026 debut, fanning four and permitting only two baserunners in three shutout innings before having to leave early due to getting hit with a comebacker.

He's expected to be able to handle a full workload tonight, and I think he can have some success against Houston. The Astros don't swing and miss much -- on one hand, that means we'll be relying on the BABIP gods, which is scary, but on the other hand, it gives Feltner a better shot to work deep into the game because he won't be racking up Ks and burning through a lot of pitches.
