MLB Prop Bets: MLB Props for Today

Brady Singer Under 15.5 Outs Recorded (-142)

Brewers vs. Reds, 7:11 p.m. ET

Brady Singer has a difficult matchup today at home versus the Milwaukee Brewers.

Milwaukee ranks sixth in wOBA for the season, and this game is at Great American Ball Park, one of the best venues for offense in baseball. At home this season, Singer has been tagged for a .385 wOBA and an eye-popping 2.79 home runs per nine innings.

Over his last three home outings, Singer has recorded 15, 15 and 11 outs. Overall, he's gone over 15.5 outs in only one of his past six starts.

To make this even more appealing, the wind is blowing out to right today.

All in all, this is my favorite Monday prop bet.

JJ Wetherholt 2+ Hits/Runs/RBI (-145)

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

JJ Wetherholt is having a superb rookie season, and I like him tonight in a matchup with Merrill Kelly.

Wetherholt -- the No. 7 pick in the 2024 draft -- has 12 bombs with a .360 expected wOBA and eight steals. He's been on fire of late, amassing a .424 wOBA across his last 75 plate appearances. That's pushed him to the NL Rookie of the Year odds favorite (-155).

Against right-handed pitchers, Wetherholt owns a .362 wOBA, and that makes Kelly -- who is struggling to a 5.39 SIERA -- a good matchup for him.

Wetherholt has an astounding 23 H/R/RBI over his last 34 plate appearances, and hitting atop the lineup gives him several routes to cashing this prop.

Grant Holmes to Record 5+ Strikeouts (+138)

Braves vs. Padres, 10:11 p.m. ET

Grant Holmes has just four combined Ks over his past two starts, but I think that's created some value on him in the strikeout market today in a friendly matchup with the San Diego Padres.

Holmes has proven he can miss bats at the MLB level, generating a 13.7% career swinging-strike rate. This season, his swinging-strike rate stands at 12.6%. He's been unlucky to not have more strikeouts on the year, and that was especially true two starts ago as he fanned only a pair of hitters despite a single-game swinging-strike rate of 14.9%.

San Diego is last in wOBA (.291) with the seventh-highest K rate (23.2%). Add in Petco Park, and this is a stellar matchup for Holmes.

Due to shoddy results, Holmes has thrown only 55 and 67 pitches over his last two starts, so he should be rested and ready to roll today. I like him to notch at least five punchouts and also don't mind six-plus Ks at +290.

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.
