It is Saturday, June 6th - a great day to bet on MLB player props (just like every other day). Major League Baseball has been kind enough to give us a full schedule today, so there will be plenty of markets to choose from.
I make no promises, but after carefully studying the matchups and players, the following are my top MLB player props for the day.

Saturday’s Best MLB Player Props
(Odds courtesy of FanDuel Sportsbook)
Willy Adames 2+ Total Bases (+140)
After watching the Giants’ lineup explode yesterday, this felt like a good game to start with. Now, Cubs starter Ben Brown is going to be tougher to hit, but I still like Willy Adames to record at least two bases.
Adames hit two home runs yesterday and has hit .346 over the last week with five extra base hits (four home runs). Over the last month, 16 of his 35 hits have been for extra bases.
Jeremy Pena 2+ Hits + Runs + RBIs (-155)
Jeremy Pena has been a beast over the last week, hitting .500 with 12 hits in 24 at-bats across six games with nine runs scored and four RBI. He recorded two or more combined hits + runs + RBIs in his last four games and three or more in three of his last six.
That would make it seem like two or more combined hits + runs + RBIs is the way to go, despite the price. But the A's have called up rookie Kade Morris to start. He has a 4.45 ERA and 1.47 WHIP in 60.2 innings in AAA.
It may not be much of a stretch to think Pena could record three or more combined hits + runs + RBIs today with how he's been hitting. Especially against a young rookie making his first appearance in the Majors. You can bet on that at +150 odds.
Jack Leiter Over 5.5 Strikeouts (+122)
Jack Leiter is a pitcher you can describe as good but occasionally great, at least when it comes to his strikeout numbers. He recorded 10 against the Royals in his last start and went over this mark in four of his six starts last month.
In the Guardians, he faces a lineup that struck out 11 times last night (five times against starter Kumar Rocker). Over the last week, the Guardians have struck out 53 times in 173 at-bats across five games.
At +122 odds, I love the value on this prop.
Jacob Misiorowski Over 8.5 Strikeouts (+114)
For most pitchers, this prop would have no value even at +200 odds. But for Jacob Misiorowski, it's another day at the park. Milwaukee's ace has recorded eight or more strikeouts in his last eight starts and has gone under this mark in five of his 12 starts this season.
Against a Rockies lineup that's averaging over nine strikeouts a game over the last week (five games), there's a solid chance he goes over this mark. At +114 odds, this one may be hard to pass up.
