Best MLB Player Props for Friday, April 24th

Here are my top player prop bets for today, with the first pitch scheduled for 6:40 PM ET on Friday, April 24th:

Gunnar Henderson OVER 1.5 Hits + Runs + RBIs (-145, BetMGM)

Henderson has struggled of late, with only a .103 batting average across his last 43 plate appearances. That said, he still has a 48% hard-hit rate in that span, which is well above the league average. Tonight, he gets to face Brayan Bello, who has struggled to a 6.70 FIP and 2.11 WHIP across the platoon to begin 2026. This is a great spot for Henderson to break out of his mini-slump.

Juan Soto OVER 1.5 Hits + Runs + RBIs (-133, DraftKings)

Soto has only 1 hit in 9 trips to the plate since being activated from the injured list, but he’s been on base 4 times, indicating that he’s still seeing the ball well. His opponent tonight, Michael Lorenzen, has struggled to a 6.46 FIP and 2.48 WHIP across the platoon to begin the new campaign. This could be a great spot for Soto to make some noise at the plate, especially with Colorado’s arm also in poor shape to begin the weekend.

Bobby Witt Jr. OVER 1.5 Hits + Runs + RBIs (-156, DraftKings)

Following a slow start to the year, Witt is starting to heat up at the plate. He has a .375 batting average and 163 wRC+ since April 19, with an impressive 64.3% hard-hit rate in that span. His opponent tonight, Yusei Kikuchi, has struggled to a 1.64 WHIP across the platoon to date this season. There should be opportunities for Witt to produce.
