Best MLB Prop Bets Today: Orioles vs Blue Jays (3:07 PM, EST)

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. Over 1.5 Total Bases (+105) at bet365 Sportsbook

Guerrero tallied three bases in Toronto’s win Friday night and has an excellent chance of collecting multiple bases again on Friday when the Blue Jays face Dean Kremer. In his career, Guerrero is 10 for 28 (.357) with seven extra-base hits against Kremer. He’s done plenty of damage against him in the past and is poised to continue that on Saturday.

Best MLB Prop Bets Today: Phillies vs Nationals (4:05 PM, EST)

J.T. Realmuto 2+ Total Bases (+145) at bet365 Sportsbook

Washington starter Jake Irvin has had mixed results against several members of the Phillies. Realmuto is one of the Philly hitters who has him figured out. Realmuto is 5 for 9 (.556) with a home run against Irvin. While that’s a small sample size, it’s promising nonetheless. Despite striking out four times on opening day, Realmuto also had a two-run triple in Thursday’s game. That should keep his confidence up but keep him motivated to find success at the plate. Considering his track record against Irvin, he’s among the best hitters to target on Saturday.

Kyle Schwarber Under 0.5 Hits (+160) at bet365 Sportsbook

Schwarber had a solid .248 average last season, indicating he may not be the all-or-nothing hitter he’s been in the past. But it’s fair to be skeptical that he’s going to keep that up in 2025. Even after going 2 for 4 on opening day, Schwarber is the type of hitter who provides good value to fade. After all, he also draws a lot of walks, which are a net positive for him but can prevent him from collecting a hit. He also happens to be 1 for 13 in his career against Irvin. It’s a little surprising to see his numbers so bad against an average pitcher like Irvin. But it’s enough to take the plus odds on Schwarber going hitless in Saturday’s game.

Best MLB Prop Bets Today: Mets vs Astros (7:15 PM, EST)

Juan Soto Over 1.5 Total Bases (+135) at bet365 Sportsbook

Soto is one of two members of the Mets to face Houston starter Spencer Arrighetti. While it’s only a sample size of three at-bats, Soto has two hits and a home run in those three at-bats. For most hitters, that’s not enough of a sample size to make him a viable target. But we all know that Soto isn’t most hitters. On the heels of a no-doubt home run on Saturday night, there is excellent value in backing Soto to do more damage on Saturday and collect multiple bases.

Yordan Alvarez Over 1.5 Total Bases (+110) at bet365 Sportsbook

Griffin Canning starts for the Mets on Saturday, which is good news for the Astros, especially Alvarez. Houston faced him many times during his time with the Angels. Alvarez, specifically, is 7 for 13 with three extra-base hits in his career against Canning. That should scare the Mets while, at the same time, making us want to back Alvarez. Granted, he’s 0 for 4 over his first two games of the season, but seeing Canning should help Alvarez have his first big game of the season.
