3 MLB Player Prop Bets and Predictions for Wednesday, June 4

The first week of June is a great time for fans and bettors alike to renew their interest in America’s favorite pastime. Tonight’s slate is strong for baseball enthusiasts with all 30 MLB teams in action.

The headliner for Wednesday’s schedule is a late game, featuring the NL East-leading New York Mets taking on the top NL West squad in Los Angeles. With so many strong matchups on tonight’s slate, what can bettors expect from the biggest stars in MLB? We’ll cover that by providing our top three MLB player prop bets for Wednesday, June 4.

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

After a nine-game western road trip, the Yankees return home, facing off against the Cleveland Guardians in a rematch of the 2024 ALCS. New York right fielder Aaron Judge has one of the hottest bats in the majors, recording a league-best .387 batting average with 21 homers.

Tonight, Judge will face Cleveland starter Luis Ortiz. Ortiz is a hard-throwing young righty, and Judge only has 5 at-bats against him in his career. Expect him to treat the New York fans with at least one round-tripper on Hump Day, covering this player prop bet.

Seattle Mariners SS J.P. Crawford to Record a Hit (-190)

When the Baltimore Orioles take on the AL West-leading Mariners, it will be the first time 25-year-old Cade Povich faces Seattle. The 2nd-year MLB pitcher has been awful in his 10 outings this year, posting a 1-4 record and an ERA over 5.

After posting a hit in 16 straight games in early May, Mariners shortstop J.P. Crawford cooled significantly. He posted only 11 hits over his next 16 games, dropping his batting average by 30 points.

He’s returned to his hot ways since last weekend, posting seven hits in his three-game series against the Twins. Bettors should expect him to continue his streak on Wednesday, recording at least one hit against Povich or the Orioles’ relief pitchers to cover this prop bet.

Los Angeles Dodgers to Win/SP Tony Gonsolin to Record 4+ Strikeouts (+144)

Wednesday’s final game could be the best. The Mets feature one of the league’s best bullpens, taking on the Dodgers and their MLB-best team batting average. It’s the second time these two teams have faced off this season.

Just before Memorial Day, New York won two of those three games at home. Now, it’s Los Angeles’s turn to show their dominance on Hump Day. Veteran pitcher Tony Gonsolin will take the mound for only the 7th time this season, and the Mets have done just okay against him.

The right-handed pitcher has recorded 12 strikeouts in 59 at-bats against the Mets’ current roster. Bettors should expect him to post another strong outing tonight, posting at least four strikeouts while the Dodgers even their season record against New York.
