On Friday, 14 of the league’s 15 MLB games are scheduled for a first pitch of 6:40 p.m. ET or later, which means plenty of betting opportunities on the board to begin the weekend!

Similar to the last couple of nights, there is some extremely hitter-friendly weather around the country, which could lead to an abundance of offense in certain games. As always, make sure to keep an eye on the MLB weather report before committing to any wagers.

Best MLB Player Props for Friday, June 5th

Here are my top player prop bets for today, with the first pitch scheduled for 6:40 PM ET on Friday, June 5th:

Travis Bazzana OVER 1.5 Hits + Runs + RBIs (-118, DraftKings)

Add this pick with 1 click!PLACE THIS BET ONDRAFTKINGS

Bazzana, the No. 1 overall selection in the 2024 draft, has looked very comfortable at the plate since being called up. He enters play with a 153 wRC+ against RHP, including more walks than strikeouts. Kumar Rocker has struggled to a 4.48 FIP and 1.52 WHIP across the platoon early in 2026. This is good value on Cleveland’s new lead-off hitter to have a productive day at the plate.

Jose Ramirez OVER 1.5 Hits + Runs + RBIs (-133, DraftKings)

Add this pick with 1 click!PLACE THIS BET ONDRAFTKINGS

Ramirez got off to a slow start to the new campaign, but he’s now hit safely in each of his last 6 games, during which he owns a .400 batting average, 218 wRC+, and 73.9% hard-hit rate. Ramirez has been putting a lot of balls in play, which also increases his chances of racking up some hits + runs + RBIs tonight in a favorable matchup.

Chase DeLauter OVER 1.5 Hits + Runs + RBIs (-118, DraftKings)

Add this pick with 1 click!PLACE THIS BET ONDRAFTKINGS

Chase DeLauter owns a dreadful 40 wRC+ since the middle of May, but he’s still showcasing a mature approach at the dish, which should lead to better results over time. He draws a favorable matchup tonight against Kumar Rocker, who has struggled to a 4.87 xERA across his last 29.1 innings of work. This could be a good buy-low spot on DeLauter.
