4 MLB Player Props and Predictions for Wednesday, May 28

All 30 MLB teams are in action Wednesday with most series wrapping on this pre-summer Hump Day. After a majority of Tuesday’s games came down to the final at-bat, fans should expect tonight’s action to be just as thrilling.

What trends can bettors observe to make some cold, hard cash off these matchups? We’ll cover that in today’s edition of four major league baseball player props for Wednesday’s games.

New York Yankees RF Aaron Judge to Record a Home Run (+190)

The AL East leaders continue their western road trip on Wednesday, looking for their fifth straight win – and the series sweep – over the Los Angeles Angels. The Yankees’ hot bats are to thank as New York leads MLB in home runs and has scored the third-most runs this season.

Right fielder Aaron Judge may be an MVP candidate, but he has struggled against Angels pitchers for much of his career. Against the team’s current bullpen, Judge has recorded just 11 hits in 62 at-bats, and only two of those have been home runs.

Both of those round-trippers came with tonight’s starting pitcher, Yusei Kikuchi, on the mound. That’s why bettors should be confident in placing this player prop wager. Further assurance? Since April, Judge’s longest stretch without a home run is three games, or the mark he’s currently sitting at heading into tonight’s contest.

Chicago Cubs 2B Nico Hoerner to Record a Hit (-270)

The Chicago Cubs are on a hot streak, winning nine of their past 11 games to take a three-game lead in the NL Central. They’ve won their past five home games, and the Cubs will look to extend that streak against the worst team in the league – the Colorado Rockies – on Wednesday.

Second baseman Nico Hoerner has a lot to do with that, both offensively and defensively. The right-handed batter has recorded hits in 18 of his past 20 outings. Expect him to continue this trend against the Rockies on Wednesday.

Seattle Mariners RHP George Kirby OVER 5.5 Strikeouts

The Seattle Mariners have a razor-thin lead over the Houston Astros in the AL West heading into Wednesday’s games. The Mariners can thank their underrated bullpen for their success thus far, as Seattle ranks among the league’s top 10 in multiple pitching categories.

One area where the Mariners’ pitching staff struggles is strikeouts. Seattle is among the league’s worst in that category, but starting pitcher George Kirby is hoping to improve their standing against the Washington Nationals.

After struggling in his first appearance this season, the veteran right-hander should be back to form on Wednesday against Washington. Expect him to finish with at least six strikeouts in tonight’s game, covering this player prop bet.

Toronto Blue Jays 1B Vladimir Guerrero Jr. To Record a Hit (-330)

Tonight’s victor in the Toronto Blue Jays’ game against the homesteading Texas Rangers will win this three-game series. With both teams struggling to break .500 this year, a victory could carry a lot of weight moving forward for the winner.

Toronto star Vladimir Guerrero is looking to break out of a mini slump tonight against the Rangers. In his last 10 at-bats, the first baseman has recorded only one hit. Tonight, he’ll face Texas starter Tyler Mahle. He’s 1-of-3 against the right-handed pitcher, so bettors can wager with confidence that Guerrero will record at least one hit on Wednesday.
