There are 17 games on the schedule across the big leagues today, and my MLB player props have found value in a variety of areas.
I'm eyeing Reid Detmers to rack up the Ks in Seattle, while Freddy Peralta's recent success matches up well against the Philadelphia Phillies. Mookie Betts will also stay hot offensively.

Best MLB player props today
| Player | Pick | Odds |
|---|---|---|
 Reid Detmers |
Over 6.5 strikeouts | -139 |
 Freddy Peralta |
Under 1.5 earned runs | -109 |
 Mookie Betts |
Over 1.5 total bases | +103 |
Reid Detmers Over 6.5 strikeouts (-139)
Play up to -160.
Reid Detmers has been in good form, and he's missing lots of bats lately. The left-hander has posted 9.60 K/9 over his last five appearances while posting a 2.67 FIP during that span.
Detmers has cleared this total in three of his previous four appearances, and he struck out eight Seattle Mariners only 10 days ago. The M's are toward the bottom of the majors in team punchouts, and they've averaged 8.71 Ks per contest at T-Mobile Park this season.
The southpaw will bring his swing-and-miss stuff tonight.

Freddy Peralta Under 1.5 earned runs (-109)
Play up to -130.
Freddy Peralta is arguably in his best form of 2026. The right-hander has posted a solid 2.28 xERA over the last month, and he's stayed Under two earned runs allowed in four consecutive outings.
Peralta wasn't facing any pushover lineups, either. The veteran carved up the Braves, Astros, and Red Sox. He'll face the Philadelphia Phillies tonight, who are ice-cold right now. They have a 69 wRC+ in the last week.
Expect another gem from Peralta.

Mookie Betts Over 1.5 total bases (+103)
Play down to -120.
Mookie Betts cannot be stopped right now. The superstar is batting .458 over the last week with a .458 ISO as well, and seven of his 11 hits during that span have been for extra bases.
Betts has hit the Over in total bases in five of his last seven contests, and he'll face struggling San Francisco Giants rookie Yunior Marte. The Giants' bullpen is also in horrendous form, compiling a 6.78 FIP in its last 22 innings of work.
Betts will have another day at the dish.
