A busy Saturday in the MLB features a full 15-game slate and tons of juicy MLB player props to pick from.
Shohei Ohtani, Jeremy Pena, and Jacob Misiorowski are all featured in my favorite MLB picks for Saturday, June 6.
I’ll break down why all three will dominate on the diamond today.
Best MLB player props today
| Player | Pick | Odds |
|---|---|---|
 Jeremy Pena |
Over 1.5 hits + runs + RBI | -142 |
 Jacob Misiorowski |
Over 8.5 strikeouts | +120 |
 Shohei Ohtani |
Over 1.5 total bases | -116 |
Jeremy Pena Over 1.5 hits + runs + RBI
Jeremy Pena has been on fire this past week, batting an even .500 with Over 1.5 hits, runs, and RBI in four straight and nine of his last 12 outings.
Pena and the Houston Astros will face Athletics starter Kade Morris, who is set to make his MLB debut on Saturday.
The 23-year-old has not exactly been impressive in Triple-A this season, posting a 4.45 ERA and 1.47 WHIP over 11 starts, but the Athletics are desperate for arms of any kind with starters Luis Severino and Aaron Civale both sidelined.
Pena is hitting .304 vs. righties this season, and a ridiculous .375 at Daikin Park.
A scorching Pena facing a 23-year-old making his MLB debut? Play this one up to -150.

Jacob Misiorowski Over 8.5 strikeouts
It’s still early, but Jacob Misiorowski is already putting his name in Cy Young odds discussion.
The Milwaukee Brewers sophomore leads the majors in strikeouts (108) and K/9 (13.7), while ranking first among starters in WHIP (0.79).
Misiorowski has punched out at least eight batters in eight straight starts, with Over 8.5 strikeouts in five of those contests. He’ll enjoy the upper hand against the Colorado Rockies tonight, one of five teams in the MLB to average more than nine Ks per game.
Misiorowski’s Whiff% is in the 98th percentile, thanks to his four-seamer and curveball, which are both getting whiffed nearly 50% of the time.
Seventy-four of Misiorowski’s 108 strikeouts have come by way of his fastball, which averages out at 99.9 mph. He’ll match up very well against the Rockies, who have struck out 190 times against the four-seamer this year — more than any other team in the majors.
I’m playing this prop up to +100, and I’d recommend looking at Misiorowski Under 1.5 earned runs as well.

Shohei Ohtani Over 1.5 total bases
After getting off to a sluggish start, Shohei Ohtani has officially returned to his MVP form.
The Los Angeles Dodgers superstar leads the majors with a .362 batting average over the last 30 days to go along with a stunning 1.056 OPS.
Ohtani has smacked Over 1.5 total bases in six of his last eight games and is poised to pad his stats tonight against the rival Los Angeles Angels and their brutal pitching staff.
Angels starter Jack Kochanowicz posted a 7.85 ERA and 1.81 WHIP over six starts in May, while his xBA and Hard-Hit% both rank in the Bottom 25th percentile this season.
Kochanowicz throws his sinker nearly 40% of the time — a pitch that Ohtani is hitting .313 against when facing righties. He’ll be backed up by the worst bullpen in the majors, which sports a 5.14 ERA and 1.54 WHIP.
I’d play this prop to -130. You could also look at the extra-base hit market, where Ohtani’s getting pretty juicy odds.
