Best MLB Player Props for Friday, May 29th

Here are my top player prop bets for today, with the first pitch scheduled for 6:40 pm ET on Friday, May 29th:

Slade Cecconi OVER 16.5 Outs Recorded (-127, DraftKings)

Cecconi isn’t anyone’s idea of an ace, but he’s quietly been putting together a decent run of production in recent weeks. In his last 4 turns through the rotation, Cecconi owns a 2.91 ERA, 2.88 FIP, and 1.34 WHIP. He’s been efficient, averaging only 3.71 pitches per batter faced. Cleveland’s arm barn is in good shape behind him tonight, but there are reasons to think he will have an opportunity to work into the 6th inning, facing a Boston lineup that is traveling to a new city without the benefit of a day off.

Kyle Manzardo OVER 1.5 Hits + Runs + RBIs (+113, DraftKings)

Manzardo has been seeing the ball well during May, hitting .288 and posting a 162 wRC+. Tonight, he will get to face Brayan Bello, who has struggled to a 7.79 FIP and 2.08 WHIP across the platoon in 2026. The weather is on the hitter-friendly side in Cleveland, which could aid Manzardo’s chances of clearing this number.

Daniel Schneemann OVER 1.5 Hits + Runs + RBIs (+127, DraftKings)

Add this pick with 1 click!PLACE THIS BET ONDRAFTKINGS

Schneemann hasn’t been finding much success at the plate in recent weeks, but the price is too good to pass up in tonight’s matchup against Brayan Bello, who seemingly has no answer for LHB. Schneemann should also get to see Bello twice, with Boston using an opener ahead of him. Bello is allowing a .346 batting average to hitters when going through the order a second time this year. This is good value.
