If you enjoy betting on player props as much as I do, you've got plenty of choices. The following are my favorites today.

Saturday’s Best MLB Player Props
(Odds courtesy of FanDuel Sportsbook)
Michael Harris II to Hit a Home Run (+310)
Brady Singer is starting the day on the mound for the Reds, and while he's done his best work at home, he is still a very hittable pitcher, with opponents hitting .309 against him at home.
Singer also has a 1.70 WHIP and has allowed 14 home runs, seven at home. Michael Harris II does not have a good history against Singer (1-for-7), but he has nine hits over his last four games, including two home runs.
With how he is swinging the bat lately (.429 batting average, 1.217 OPS), I like Harris’ chances of getting one off Singer.
Ben Rice 3+ Total Bases (+185)
Ben Rice has been on fire the last few days with nine hits in his last three games (14 at-bats), including a 4-for-5 performance against the A's last night. Five of Rice’s nine hits have been for extra bases (three doubles, one triple, one home run).
Bryan Woo Under 18.5 Outs Recorded (-198)
Bryan Woo is an excellent young pitcher who has gone over this total three times this season. He has also come close in four of his last five starts (18 outs recorded in each).
Since his last start was not stellar (pulled after 4.2 innings) and because George Kirby had the Diamondbacks under control until giving up four in the sixth inning, don't be surprised if Woo gets pulled at the first sign of trouble. Or at the end of six, since that seems to be when the Mariners like to pull him.
Andy Pages 2+ Hits (+220)
Andy Pages has been great for the Dodgers this season and is hitting .297 heading into tonight's game. I wasn't surprised when his odds to record a hit were -250, but I was a little surprised to see them jump up to +220 to record two hits. For a player swinging the bat as well as Pages has this season, that seemed unusual.
I assume it is because Pages went hitless last night, recorded two or more hits in his previous three games, but hadn’t reached that number since May 9th prior. But I like his chances of getting at least two hits today against Andrew Painter. Opponents are hitting .345 against him on the road.
