Tuesday’s MLB slate began earlier this afternoon due to a few games getting moved up to an afternoon start time as a result of frigid temperatures around the country. Still, there are 12 games left to get underway as of this writing, which means plenty of betting opportunities still left on the board!
There is some extreme MLB Weather in a few spots this evening too. As always, be sure to keep an eye on forecasts, as temperature and wind can have a significant impact on the outcome of batted balls.
Below, you can find three of my favorite picks for Tuesday, April 7th!
Best MLB Player Props for Tuesday, April 7th
Here are my top player prop bets for today, with the first pitch scheduled for 6:40 PM ET on Tuesday, April 7th:
- Yoshinobu Yamamoto Over/Under 18.5 Outs Recorded
- Kyle Tucker Over/Under 1.5 Hits + Runs + RBIs
- Reynaldo Lopez Over/Under 1.5 Earned Runs Allowed
Yoshinobu Yamamoto UNDER 18.5 Outs Recorded (-235, FanDuel)
Yamamoto has not been efficient early in 2026, averaging 4.23 pitches per batter faced. He draws a favorable matchup this evening against a free-swinging Toronto offense, but it still might not be enough for him to pitch into the 7th inning.
Yamamoto could fall short of this number based on his own inefficiencies. It’s also not difficult to see a situation in which he’s near 90 pitches after 6 innings but gets pulled because the Dodgers arm barn is completely rested. The juice is likely worth the squeeze.
Kyle Tucker OVER 1.5 Hits + Runs + RBIs (-104, DraftKings)
DRAFTKINGSTucker is once again in the 2-hole for the Dodgers, which means there is once again tremendous value on this player prop. Tucker had only 1 hit last night, but he scored 3 runs because of the talent around him in the Dodgers lineup.
Kevin Gausman is tough on LHB because of his splitter, but he’s not going to pitch the entire game. Toronto’s arm barn has been used more than almost any team in baseball early in 2026. Even if Tucker doesn’t get the job done against Gausman, he should have some good opportunities in the late innings to deliver for us.
Reynaldo Lopez OVER 1.5 Earned Runs Allowed (-167, DraftKings)
From 2016 to 2020, Lopez struggled to a 4.77 ERA, 4.89 xERA, and 1.39 WHIP. In 2021, he saw a notable spike in velocity, which continued to improve each of the subsequent 2 seasons.
From 2021 to 2024, Lopez had a 2.66 ERA, 3.70 xERA, and 1.08 WHIP. His K% improved to 26.9% after striking out only 19.5% of the batters he faced from 2016 to 2020.
After missing nearly all of 2025 following arthroscopic shoulder surgery, Lopez’s velocity has regressed considerably early this season. During Spring Training, Lopez averaged 89.2 mph on his fastball in his final tune-up before the regular season. His velocity improved in his first regular-season start, but it didn’t hold in his second turn through the rotation.
Lopez doesn’t appear healthy enough right now to fully recover every five days. Even in a favorable matchup against the Angels, this number is simply too low, considering that Lopez averaged 92.5 mph on his heater in the 5th inning of his most recent start.
