MLB Player Props for Today

Michael Harris II to Record an RBI (+180)

Braves at Nationals, 6:46 p.m. ET

Michael Harris II is stinging the ball to start the season, and while I wouldn't usually look to someone who hits eighth or ninth in the lineup for an RBI prop, I think it makes sense today with Harris.

Harris is a notoriously streaky hitter who can go on some eye-popping tears. He's started this year really strongly, sporting a .401 expected wOBA and 42.6% hard-hit rate -- both of which would be career-best clips by a mile. In a small sample, he's nuking righties for a .393 wOBA and 41.9% hard-hit rate.

On Monday, Harris will be up against RHP Jake Irvin. In 2025, Irvin struggled mightily versus lefty bats, allowing a 40.9% fly-ball rate and 2.32 jacks per nine innings in the split.

As an added bonus, the Washington Nationals' bullpen is fourth-worst in reliever xFIP, so Harris should have good matchups all night. I'm expecting the Braves to light up the scoreboard, and Harris can get in on the fun.

Kyle Bradish Under 4.5 Strikeouts (+124)

Orioles vs. Royals, 7:41 p.m. ET

In recent seasons, the Kansas City Royals have been vary hard to strike out at home, boasting the lowest home K rate two years ago (17.9%) and the third-lowest home strikeout rate in 2025 (18.1%). That pushes me to the under on Kyle Bradish's K prop.

It's not just the matchup, though, as Bradish's stuff hasn't been quite as sharp as usual through four starts, with the righty posting a 10.4% swinging-strike rate and 4.04 SIERA.

Bradish has registered exactly four punchouts in half of his outings this year, and I like these plus-money odds on him to put up four or fewer Ks today.

Josh Naylor 2+ H/R/RBI (-140)

Athletics vs. Mariners, 9:41 p.m. ET

While I've always been somewhat intrigued by J.T. Ginn's upside as a pitcher, there's no denying how much he's struggled against left-handed hitters.

Josh Naylor can take advantage.

Last season, Ginn's xFIP against lefties was 4.62, and he surrendered a .440 wOBA and 2.37 homers per nine in the split.

Naylor does his best work with the platoon advantage, finishing 2025 with a .361 wOBA and 38.2% hard-hit rate against right-handers. He's started slowly this campaign but is starting to snap out of it, producing a .370 wOBA across his previous 25 plate appearances.

Likely to hit fourth in the lineup, Naylor is in a good spot to record an RBI or score a run, so there are a few viable paths for him to cash this prop.

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.
