Best MLB Player Props for Friday, September 25th
Here are my top player prop bets for today, with the first pitch scheduled for 5:30 PM ET on Friday, September 25th:
- Elly De La Cruz Over/Under 1.5 Hits + Runs + RBIs
- Jake Bauers Over/Under 1.5 Hits + Runs + RBIs
- Wade Meckler Over/Under 1.5 Hits + Runs + RBIs
Elly De La Cruz OVER 1.5 Hits + Runs + RBIs (-110, BetMGM)
BETMGMJose Soriano has struggled to a 5.37 FIP across the platoon during the last 30 days. He’s only struck out 10.5% of the left-handed hitters he has faced during that stretch, indicating a clear inability to fool hitters.
De La Cruz has a 129 wRC+ against right-handed pitching in 2026 and has been scorching hot in September, with a .377 batting average and 233 wRC+.
Jake Bauers OVER 1.5 Hits + Runs + RBIs (+100, BetMGM)
BETMGMMichael McGreevy has struggled to a 5.24 FIP and 1.71 WHIP across the platoon during the last 30 days. Bauers has been extremely productive against right-handed pitching this season, hitting .266 with a 142 wRC+. Bauers has been seeing the ball well of late, with a 145 wRC+ across his last 43 plate appearances. This is good value for a player who should be in the top half of the Milwaukee lineup on Friday.
Wade Meckler OVER 1.5 Hits + Runs + RBIs (+116, DraftKings)
DRAFTKINGSDuring the last 30 days, Bryce Miller has struggled to a 5.09 FIP and 1.50 WHIP across the platoon. His 9.3% swinging-strike rate and 89.1% in-zone contact rate allowed are both signs that he’s not fooling many hitters right now.
Meckler has a .310 batting average and 127 wRC+ against right-handed pitching this year. This is good value for a hitter in a good matchup, who should be in the 3-hole of the Angels lineup.
