The betting public has locked in on five big names across the slate, and the action is split between power bats and strikeout arms. With MLB matchups that feature power bats, struggling pitchers, and high-K lineups, these props have drawn heavy ticket counts.

Swing for the Fences with SportsGrid’s free daily MLB Game Picks and MLB Prop Picks.

Brent Rooker Over 0.5 Home Runs (+400)

Brent Rooker’s power stroke has been on display all season for the Athletics, launching 25 homers with a .275 average, .501 slugging, and .850 OPS. He draws a tough assignment in Joe Ryan, who has a sharp 2.72 ERA and 0.92 WHIP for the Minnesota Twins but has been tagged for 16 long balls across 139 innings. Bettors see the value in Rooker’s pop against a pitcher who occasionally leaves one up in the zone.

Pete Alonso Over 0.5 Home Runs (+325)

Pete Alonso has been the New York Mets’ steady source of thump, sitting on 28 homers with an .871 OPS. He faces Jake Irvin, who has been homer-prone all season for the Washington Nationals — 27 allowed over 140 innings, with a 5.14 ERA and 1.38 WHIP. Given Alonso’s matchup with one of the more hittable arms in baseball, it’s no surprise bettors are rushing to back the Polar Bear to go deep.

Juan Soto Over 0.5 Home Runs (+320)

Juan Soto leads the Mets with 30 homers, pairing that with a .495 slugging percentage and an .881 OPS. Like Alonso, he gets Irvin and a Nationals staff that has been vulnerable to the long ball. With Soto’s patient approach and power bat, bettors are banking on him to add to his team-leading total in a favorable spot.

Cristopher Sánchez Over 6.5 Strikeouts (-105)

Cristopher Sánchez has quietly been one of the most effective arms in the NL this season. The Philadelphia Phillies lefty owns an 11-4 record, 2.45 ERA, 1.09 WHIP, and 157 Ks in 150.2 innings. His 25.8% K rate puts him in the top quarter of the league, supported by a 29.2% whiff rate and 30.8% chase rate. Tonight, he faces a Seattle Mariners lineup that strikes out 8.9 times per game — third-most in baseball — and hits just .244 as a team. Bettors love the spot for a strikeout-heavy outing.

Hunter Greene Over 7.5 Strikeouts (+100)

Hunter Greene’s electric fastball (99.3 MPH average, top one percent in MLB) makes him a nightmare matchup. The Cincinnati Reds fireballer enters 5-3 with a 2.47 ERA, 0.93 WHIP, and 79 Ks in 65.2 innings. His strikeout metrics jump off the page: 30.6% K rate (top eight percent), 33% chase rate (top eight percent), and 30.8% whiff rate (top 15 percent). Facing a Los Angeles Angels lineup that leads MLB in strikeouts (9.8 per game) and ranks fourth-worst in batting average (.233), Greene is in a premium position to cash this prop.
