All the prop bet recommendations, betting projections and trends are generated by THE BAT X, a system that I've created using advanced methods like those used in MLB front offices, accounting for a variety of factors including player talent, ballparks, bullpens, weather, umpires, defense, catcher pitch-framing and more. Betting projections for every player, team and game can be found at EV Analytics.
Note: Expected Value is a measure of how good a bet is, factoring the probability that it will win versus the odds the book is providing. If you were to place a $1 wager 100 times on a bet with an Expected Value of $25, you would win some and you would lose some, but in the end you would expect to come away with $25 in profit on your $100 investment.

Today's top batter prop bets
Cody Bellinger | OVER 0.5 RBI (+204)
Projection: 33% chance of this bet hitting, with a $0.68 EV
One reason to bet this: Bellinger's 18.5-degree launch angle (a reliable metric used to assess a batter's ability to lift the ball for power) is one of the highest in baseball: 87th percentile.
Cody Bellinger | OVER 1.5 H+R+RBI (-102)
Projection: 51% chance of this bet hitting, with a $0.27 EV

Luis Arraez | UNDER 1.5 TB (+131)
Projection: 68% chance of this bet hitting, with a $13.10 EV
One reason to bet this: Arraez grades out in the 96th percentile when it comes to hitting balls between minus-4 and 26 degrees, the launch angle range that tends to optimize base hits, but has only managed a 50.7% rate since the start of last season.

Logan Webb | UNDER 1.5 ER (+118)
Projection: 47% chance of this bet hitting, with a $2.07 EV
One reason to bet this: The New York Yankees were the luckiest offense in MLB in 2025, according to my projections, and are likely to hit worse overall in 2026.
