It's just a 10-game slate across the Majors today, but I've still found value in my MLB player props. I'll include Aaron Judge, Bo Bichette, and Seth Lugo.
Read more in my MLB picks for Thursday, May 7.
Best MLB player props today
| Player | Pick | Odds |
|---|---|---|
 Aaron Judge |
Over 0.5 runs | -154 |
 Bo Bichette |
Over 1.5 hits | +100 |
 Seth Lugo |
Over 4.5 strikeouts | -107 |
Aaron Judge Over 0.5 runs (-154)
Aaron Judge has been rolling lately, hitting .381 in May and coming across the plate nine times in just six games.
The slugger has cashed the Over in runs in every single game this month. Judge was responsible for the New York Yankees' lone run in Wednesday's loss, going 1-for-4 with a solo home run.
The reigning AL MVP has 34 runs in only 37 games played, and he's also finished with at least one hit in four straight contests. Today's matchup plays in his favor, too. Judge will face Texas Rangers left-hander MacKenzie Gore, and he's 3-for-7 lifetime against him with two homers. The Yankees are also batting .277 with RISP.

Bo Bichette Over 1.5 hits (+100)
Bo Bichette has had a very tough start to his first season with the New York Mets, but he's starting to pick it up offensively. The infielder is hitting .307 in May, and he has three multi-hit games across his previous five contests. Bichette was 2-for-5 on Wednesday against the Colorado Rockies.
He also had a pair of hits on Sunday against the Angels. The Mets face Jose Quintana today, and although Bichette has never had a hit against him, it's a small sample size of three at-bats. Quintana has struggled a bit at Coors Field, posting a 4.09 ERA and allowing 13 hits in 11 innings of work.

Seth Lugo Over 4.5 strikeouts (-107)
Seth Lugo isn't a guy who will strike out 10 hitters every start, but his stuff is solid enough that this pick is a huge play.
The righty has collected 37 Ks in 43 2/3 innings, and he's cashed the Over in three of his last four outings. In Lugo's most recent start, he had six punchouts against the Mariners.
Lugo faces the Cleveland Guardians today, and he's posted 25 Ks in 80 at-bats against them while holding the Guardians to a .188 average. While Cleveland doesn't strike out a ton, they did have eight Ks on Wednesday, and Lugo has hit the Over in punchouts in two of his last four home starts.
