MLB Best Bets: Top Player Prop Bets for Sunday 6/7/26
The MLB season is in full swing, and Cooper Albers is here to share his top player prop bets for Sunday's action. With all 30 teams in play, there's plenty of star power and value to be found across the league.
Let's dive into three of the strongest player prop bets on DraftKings Sportsbook:
Jordan Walker: 3+ Hits, Runs, and RBIs (+154)
Jordan Walker is having a breakout season, and it's no surprise that he's one of the top hitters in the National League. At just 24 years old, Walker is hitting .301 with a .921 OPS, 16 home runs, and 46 RBIs, which is tied for sixth in the MLB. His recent hot streak is evident, as he went 9-for-18 (.500) with three RBIs and four runs scored over his last four games.
The Cardinals outfielder will face off against Cincinnati right-hander Rhett Lowder, who has struggled with a 5.40 ERA and a 5.07 xERA in eight starts before landing on the injured list. Walker's speed and hitting prowess make him a strong candidate to exceed the 3+ hits, runs, and RBIs prop bet.
Kyle Schwarber: 2+ Total Bases (-109)
The White Sox's Kyle Schwarber is a perennial All-Star and a force to be reckoned with. He leads the MLB with 23 home runs and has an OPS north of .920 against both lefties and righties. In their lone matchup last year, Schwarber doubled, and he's on pace to hit 59 home runs this season.
The White Sox's game plan switch to start Sunday's series finale with the Phillies and the southpaw Tyler Gilbert is a potential challenge. Gilbert has struggled in limited action, giving up six earned runs, two homers, and three walks in his first 2.2 innings. Schwarber's power and consistency make him a strong bet to exceed the 2+ total bases prop.
Jacob deGrom: Under 6.5 Strikeouts (-156)
Jacob deGrom, a two-time Cy Young Award winner, has been impressive in his starts this season. However, he has finished with fewer than 6.5 strikeouts in five of his 12 outings, including three of his last four. DeGrom recorded only four strikeouts against the Astros and three punchouts against the Angels.
The Cleveland Guardians, who own the sixth-lowest K-rate in the majors (20.7%), will be on the mound. It's unlikely that deGrom will surpass his strikeout line on Sunday, making the Under 6.5 strikeouts prop a tempting bet.
These player prop bets offer an exciting opportunity for bettors to capitalize on the star power and value in the MLB. With the right analysis and a bit of luck, these bets could pay off handsomely.
Remember to always gamble responsibly and have fun!
