Monday's Top MLB Player Props
(Odds courtesy of FanDuel Sportsbook)
Vinnie Pasquantino 2+ Hits + Runs + RBIs (-115)
Kansas City Royals outfielder and Team Italia World Baseball Classic hero, Vinnie Pasquantino, has yet to hit a home run so far in the 2026 MLB season. In fact, he is hitting just .206 (7-for-34) with one extra-base hit, a double, while driving in five runs. He has four walks and eight strikeouts, and just two runs scored.
His fortunes could turn around facing Cleveland Guardians RHP Tanner Bibee. In 14 career at-bats, Pasquantino is 8-for-14 (.571) with a double, a triple, two home runs, and three RBI. That’s good for a 1.214 SLG and 1.814 OPS.
If you want to play it on the safe side, take him to collect a combination of two hits, runs, and/or RBIs. If you’re a little more adventurous, roll the dice on an Anytime HR (+440).
Freddie Freeman 2+ Hits + Runs + RBIs (-150)
It’s a little bit chalky, but this is a solid play on Freeman’s batter props for Monday night.
The veteran first baseman will face RHP Max Scherzer in this World Series rematch on FS1. These two have the most extensive history of any Dodgers hitter vs. Scherzer, as Freeman is 12-for-58 (.207) with four doubles, three homers, four RBI, and 10 walks, while also striking out 17 times.
Freeman has fired out of the chute in April, going 5-for-18 (.278) with two doubles, two homers, three runs scored, and seven RBI in four games, and he has hit safely in five games overall. This is a strong play based on Freeman’s history against Scherzer.
Jacob de Grom Over 6.5 Strikeouts (-154)
Texas Rangers RHP Jacob de Grom was a bit shaky in his first outing in Baltimore on March 31, allowing three runs and six hits across 4 2/3 IP in a no-decision. The good news is that he still amassed seven strikeouts in 79 pitches against the 20 batters he faced.
De Grom makes his first start of the season at home against the free-swinging Seattle Mariners. The 37-year-old posted 89 strikeouts and a .199 opponent batting average in 88 IP across 15 home starts last season, and he was 1-1 with a 5.79 ERA and 12 punchouts in 14 IP across three outings against the M’s in 2025.
Seattle is second in the majors with 104 strikeouts, behind only the division rival Los Angeles Angels (108). Look for de Grom to rack up plenty of punchies on Monday night.
Chris Sale Over 7.5 Strikeouts (-158)
Atlanta Braves LHP Chris Sale is on the bump against the Los Angeles Angels in Anaheim on Monday night. It’s a big spot for Sale to rack up some strikeouts.
Sale has a pair of quality starts through two outings, holding the Kansas City Royals to just three hits with three walks and six strikeouts in six scoreless innings in a 6-0 win on March 27, and he topped the Athletics with a solo homer, being the only hit allowed in six frames on Wednesday in a 5-1 victory.
He’ll now get a crack at the free-swinging Angels, who have amassed a league-leading 108 strikeouts through 10 games, or 10.8 strikeouts per game. That’s great news for Sale, who looks to stay red-hot at the Big A on Monday night.
