With all 30 teams taking to the diamond today, the bases are juiced for MLB player props options, and I’m ready to drive in some winners.
My best bets for today include Will Warren going super punchout on the free-swinging A’s, and the Tigers’ Riley Greene finding his timing against a familiar foe.
Those and more MLB picks for Wednesday, April 8 below.

 Riley Greene |
Over 1.5 Total Bases | -105 |
Owen Caissie Over 2+ Hits, Runs, and RBI (+110)
The Miami Marlins are a young and fun team, and I can’t wait to see how ownership screws this up again. For now, I’m along for the ride, and they’re providing us with some great value when it comes to player props as well.
It looks like they have something in rookie outfielder Owen Caissie. The 23-year-old was part of the return for Edward Cabrera, and he’s off to a great start. Caissie enters this game against the Cincinnati Reds, hitting .296 with a .947 OPS, with two home runs, nine RBI, and four runs scored.
Basically, he’s been doing it all for the Fish, and should be back in the lineup tonight after getting a couple of days off thanks to facing some left-handed starters.
The Reds hand the ball to right-hander Brady Singer. The veteran right-hander has a 4.62 expected ERA over the last three seasons and is off to a tough start in 2026, giving up five runs on 11 hits and three walks in nine innings.
I love Caissie to continue his production tonight.

Will Warren Over 5.5 strikeouts (-108)
Will Warren is coming off a solid first season with the New York Yankees. But the 26-year-old right-hander is ready to take his game to the next level in 2026.
Warren has surrendered three runs on nine hits over his first two starts and is coming off a performance against the Marlins in which he struck out six batters. And I’m betting he keeps racking up the Ks in tonight’s matchup against the Athletics.
The A’s have a lot of exciting young pop in their lineup, but their “swing for the fences” mentality also results in a lot of strikeouts.
Their 30.1% strikeout rate is the highest in the big leagues at this point in the season. So, at close to even money, I’m more than happy to back Warren to go Over 5.5 punchouts.

Riley Greene Over 1.5 total bases (-105)
It’s been a bit of a slow start to the season for Riley Greene, but I like the Detroit Tigers’ star outfielder to find his swing against a familiar foe.
The Tigers visit their Central Division rivals, the Minnesota Twins, on Wednesday night. The Twins hand the ball to Bailey Ober for this one.
Ober has also been trying to find his good stuff through his first two starts, surrendering six runs on eight hits and three walks over eight innings of work.
That should make getting Greene out tough. Greene is 6-for-18 with a double and two dingers in his career vs. Ober. That’s good for a .338 expected batting average and a .719 expected slugging.
