MLB Best Bets: Top Player Prop Bets for Sunday 7/12/26
Cooper Albers shares his top player prop bets for Sunday's MLB slate, highlighting three strong bets on DraftKings Sportsbook.
Tyler Soderstrom 2+ Total Bases (+142)
Soderstrom has been on fire, hitting .316 with nine home runs since May 24. He's one of the best hitters in baseball during this stretch, ranking fourth in MLB in OPS (1.071) and third in wRC+ (192) and wOBA (192).
What makes this particularly fascinating is that Soderstrom has also dominated against left-handed pitchers, with a 1.079 OPS in 44 plate appearances against southpaws. This is a significant improvement from his struggles in same-side pitching matchups.
His recent performance against the White Sox, including a 392-foot home run, further cements his hot streak. Facing Chicago's Noah Schultz, who has a 6.00 ERA and has given up six homers in his last six outings, Soderstrom is a strong bet to continue his success.
Rafael Devers 3+ Hits + Runs + RBIs (+138)
Devers is a force to be reckoned with, especially against the Rockies. Since last Friday, he's hit four home runs across six games in Denver and San Francisco. His history against the Rockies is impressive, with a .351 average, 1.265 OPS, and 11 homers in 24 career games.
Devers' current form is equally impressive, with a .935 OPS and 17 home runs since May. Facing Michael Lorenzen, who has a 6.46 ERA and is struggling in advanced metrics, Devers is a strong bet to continue his dominance.
Jose Soriano Less Than 5.5 Strikeouts (-127)
The Twins are on a tear, and their low strikeout rate is a key factor. Their 18.8 percent strikeout rate is the third-lowest in MLB. This makes Jose Soriano's struggles all the more concerning. He's had fewer than 5.5 strikeouts in half of his outings since May, including four of his last six.
Soriano's recent performance is a stark contrast to his Cy Young-worthy start to the season. With the Twins' low strikeout rate, Soriano's struggles are a significant disadvantage, making this bet an interesting proposition.
These player prop bets offer value and potential for profit, especially with the star power and value across the board on Sunday's MLB slate.
