It’s another full day of action in MLB on Saturday, and that gives us more than enough options to find some great player props to choose from today.
I’m looking for both Jacob deGrom and George Kirby to continue pitching well in their respective returns from injuries, while Bobby Witt Jr. looks primed to break out of his recent slump.
Let’s take a closer look at these MLB player props for Saturday, June 14.
Best MLB player props today
deGrom Over 6.5 strikeouts (-137)
Witt Jr. Over 2.5 hits + runs + RBIs (-105)
Kirby Under 1.5 earned runs allowed (+135)
MLB props for June 14
Jacob deGrom Over 6.5 strikeouts (-137 at BetRivers)
A healthy Jacob deGrom is a dangerous thing. We haven’t really seen deGrom at full strength for any extended period of time since the first half of 2021, when he started 15 games and put up an unbelievable 1.08 ERA. Since then, a slew of injuries have prevented him from taking the mound very often, making just nine starts for the Texas Rangers over the past two full seasons.
But so far, deGrom has remained healthy in 2025, putting up a 2.12 ERA in 76.1 innings of work over 13 starts so far this season. Even as he is about to turn 37, deGrom is holding opponents to a 0.917 WHIP. And while his strikeout rate is lower than it has been since 2016, he’s still punching out about one batter per inning.
It doesn’t look as though deGrom is losing steam right now. He’s gone at least seven innings in three of his last five starts, and has struck out at least seven batters in four of his last six outings.
Today, deGrom will face off against a relatively weak Chicago White Sox lineup. Importantly for us, the White Sox are eighth in the majors in strikeouts, which should play right into his hands. I’m taking deGrom to pick up at least seven strikeouts in another sterling start tonight.
Bobby Witt Jr. Over 2.5 hits + runs + RBIs (-105 at DraftKings)
Kansas City Royals start Bobby Witt Jr. may be struggling through a slump over the past week, but that shouldn’t take away from his rise to the top as one of the best young stars in the majors. Witt is hitting .278 with 35 runs and 37 RBIs so far this year, even after a recent stretch that has seen him go 1-for-15 over his last four games.
Tonight should be a great opportunity for Witt to break out again. Athletics starter Jacob Lopez has never been able to find sustained success in the majors, and has put up a 6.00 ERA in eight appearances (including four starts) so far in 2025. While Lopez is striking out 11.6 batters per nine innings, he gives up a ton of hits and has severe control issues, which have led to him posting a 1.70 WHIP – not a number that will let you last long at the MLB level.
Witt is hitting .320 with an .855 OPS against lefthanded pitching this season, and Lopez isn’t exactly an intimidating matchup that should threaten his success against southpaws. I’m betting on Witt to have a big game, which is why I’m taking the Over on his hits, runs, and RBIs total.
George Kirby Under 1.5 earned runs allowed (+135 at bet365)
When George Kirby first returned to the mound last month for the Seattle Mariners after dealing with right shoulder inflammation, he struggled, allowing 11 earned runs over 8.2 total innings in his first two starts. But he’s been far better in June, allowing two runs in each of his last two outings. He was especially impressive last weekend against the Los Angeles Angels, when he struck out 14 batters over seven innings, allowing just two runs on two hits.
That’s more like what the Mariners are expecting from Kirby, who was an All-Star in 2023 and who has consistently posted some of the best strikeout-to-walk ratios in the majors throughout his career. As long as he’s truly healthy, his numbers should continue to improve, and we can safely ignore his current 6.53 ERA.
Tonight, Kirby will face off against a soft-hitting Cleveland Guardians lineup that is averaging just 3.93 runs per game. Taking the Under on 1.5 earned runs allowed is aggressive, but if Kirby throws like he has over his last two starts, then I’m happy to take that bet with solid plus money available.
