The weekends are great in the MLB! Everyone plays. But beyond that, we’ve got day games, late afternoon games, and plenty of night games to watch throughout the day.
The weather isn’t where we want it to be yet. But eventually, summer will get here, and the weather will be perfect for MLB around the league.
That said, I’ve added a handful of player props for Sleeper that you should consider for your entries. Take a look below!

Saturday's Best MLB Sleeper Picks Player Predictions
Ryan Mountcastle Over 1.5 Total bases (1.85X)
Bailey Falter will pitch for the Pirates tonight. Falter is a left-handed pitcher who allowed a .215 ISO and wOBA of .362 to 346 batters last season.
This year, it was more of the same in his first start. He threw to 20 batters in his first start of the year and allowed a .412 ISO and wOBA of .466 with 10% strikeouts and 15% walks.
On the other hand, when you combine this year and last year, right-handed slugger Ryan Mountcastle slugged a .299 ISO and wOBA of .436 with just 18.3% of strikeouts in 175 plate appearances.
Mountcastle has an insane matchup today.
Mookie Betts Over .5 Hits (1.24X)
Mookie Betts has been the best player in baseball this year. Since last year, he’s had a ton of success against lefties.
Betts has hit a .385 ISO and wOBA of .465 with only 12.2% of strikeouts against lefties in 189 plate appearances.
Today, he’ll face Chicago Cubs starter Jordan Wicks, a lefty who has struggled against righties ever since coming into the league. Last year, he gave up a .174 ISO and wOBA of .316 with just 14.1% of strikeouts against righties. This year, against his first 18 righties, he allowed a .188 ISO and wOBA of .336 with an alarming 40% of fly balls.
Let’s take our chances with Mookie.
Bryce Harper Over 1.5 Hit + Run + RBI (1.56X)
Bryce Harper has smashed a .233 ISO and wOBA of .409 against his last 405 righties faced.
Today, he’ll take on Washington’s Jake Irvin, who has already allowed a .300 ISO and wOBA of .649 to his first 11 lefties this season.
Last year, Irvin gave up a .222 ISO and wOBA of .372 to 286 lefties. He also didn’t earn many grounders, allowing more than 35% of fly balls to lefties. Beyond that, Irvin also added just 16.8% of strikeouts against lefties and nearly 44% of hard contact.
Harper could have another monster day today.
Bobby Witt Over 1.5 Total Bases (1.57X)
The Royals are in line to face Chris Flexen of the White Sox. He allowed a .280 ISO and wOBA of .439 to 256 righties last year and has already given up a .200 ISO and wOBA in his first 12 plate appearances against righties this year.
Bobby Witt has hit a .226 ISO and wOBA of .357 with just 17.4% of strikeouts against his last 564 plate appearances against righties. This is a matchup nightmare for Flexen. Plus, with Witt’s speed, he can turn any hit into a double. Let’s take Witt to earn at least two total bases tonight.
