Sunday’s Best MLB Player Props & Bets
(Odds courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook)
Michael King Over 17.5 Outs Recorded (-160)
Consistency, consistency, consistency. That is what San Diego’s Michael King brings to the table. The veteran hurler has recorded at least 18 outs in nine of his past 11 starts, giving up more than three earned runs just once in that span. Inducing soft contact is one of King’s skills, as he is allowing an impressive 32.4% hard-hit rate. That goes a long way when the defense behind him is tied for the fourth-fewest errors in the Majors (59).
Up next for King is a clash with the Yankees. Reports suggest Aaron Judge could be activated in the next few days, but not on Sunday. New York’s lineup is eager for his return, considering it ranks 28th in OPS (.670) and 27th in runs scored (181) since the All-Star break. Overall, the opposing starting pitcher has finished six frames in five of the Yankees’ previous nine road contests. Don’t hesitate to take on juiced odds with this pick.
Kyle Bradish Under 4.5 Strikeouts (+110)
The Orioles are on the cusp of getting swept in a four-game home series against the Red Sox for the second year in a row. Sunday’s starter Kyle Bradish will certainly do whatever he can to avoid that result. However, it’s a matchup he has faltered in before. The Arizona native has logged a disappointing 6.12 ERA and 1.36 WHIP during 11 career starts versus Boston. Baltimore has been on the losing end in eight of those 11 showdowns.
Be mindful that Bradish tallied fewer than five strikeouts in seven of those 11 outings. That includes both of his performances this season (April 26 & July 22). Bradish has seen his strikeout rate drop from 37.3% in 2025 to 21.6% in 2026 and his whiff rate drop from 34.8% in 2025 to 23.7% in 2026. The problems he is having missing bats likely won’t be addressed until the offseason. Lock in the under on Bradish’s strikeout prop at plus odds.
Jake Bauers to Hit a Home Run (+340)
Jake Bauers’ breakout campaign has been critical to Milwaukee’s rise in the National League standings. The 30-year-old has been stellar on the road, slashing .289/.419/.507 with 10 home runs and 40 RBI through 63 games. There’s no denying his power at the plate. Bauers has been a top-30 pro in hard-hit rate (53.1%), average exit velocity (92.4 miles per hour) and barrel rate (13.3%) in 2026. Those strengths have guided him to a team-high 23 homers.
The Brewers will face Cincinnati’s Brady Singer on Sunday. The veteran right-hander has failed to limit left-handed bats, surrendering an .860 OPS and a staggering 19 home runs across 405 plate appearances. Only three MLB pitchers have conceded more blasts to left-handed sluggers. Singer also checks in outside of the top 260 arms in hard-hit rate (42.6%) and barrel rate (9.0%). Back Bauers to crush one beyond the fence at Great American Ball Park.
