3 Best MLB Player Props on the Board Today (July 6)

Monday night’s MLB slate has a little bit of everything, and we’ve hand-picked the three juiciest props on the board — a certified masher going deep, a strikeout arm that’s flying under the radar, and one of the game’s most consistent bats getting on base. No fluff picks here, just three plays worth throwing a few bucks on tonight.

Let’s get into the best of the board.

Kyle Schwarber To Hit a Home Run vs. Royals

Kyle Schwarber is the only player in baseball with 30 home runs already this season, and he’s not slowing down. He’s slashing a monster stat line with a .571 slugging percentage, and the public has been hammering this exact prop recently for good reason — he’s gone deep against this Royals pitching staff before and has taken hard, aggressive swings all series long in Kansas City.

Schwarber has posted a .943 OPS on the year, and Kauffman Stadium’s dimensions haven’t stopped him from doing damage in this series. When a hitter with this kind of raw power is running this hot, the home run prop is always in play, and the plus-money payout makes it worth a small stake even with a modest hit rate. The BetMGM Promotions page has solid pricing on this exact market tonight.

Shane Drohan Over 3.5 Strikeouts vs. Cardinals

Shane Drohan doesn’t get the national attention of some of the bigger arms on this slate, but he’s been a steady strikeout source for Milwaukee all year, sitting at 3-2 with a 3.12 ERA and 59 strikeouts on the season. He’s facing a Cardinals lineup that ranks in the middle of the pack against left-handed pitching, and Drohan’s four-pitch mix has generated enough swing-and-miss to make this an appealing number.

The Brewers have been one of the best teams in baseball this season at 54-33, and that success has bled into their pitching staff getting more comfortable working deep into games. Drohan projects for a solid workload tonight against a Cardinals club that’s shown some vulnerability to left-handed arms with a bit of bite on their secondary pitches.

Juan Soto Over 1.5 Total Bases vs. Braves

Juan Soto remains one of the most disciplined and dangerous hitters in the sport, running a .423 xwOBA and .598 xSLG that both rank inside the top five in all of MLB. He’s hitting .301 with a .404 OBP, and his approach at the plate makes him a threat to produce extra-base damage in basically any matchup.

Facing Atlanta’s Reynaldo Lopez tonight, Soto gets a pitcher he should be able to work counts against, and with the Mets needing offense in a series they’ve mostly lost, expect Soto to see plenty of pitches to drive. His total bases prop sits in a very bettable range given how often he’s produced multi-base outcomes against right-handed starters this season.
