Best MLB Player Props for Tuesday, May 26th

Here are my top player prop bets for today, with the first pitch scheduled for 6:10 PM ET on Tuesday, May 26th:

Ranger Suarez UNDER 16.5 Outs Recorded (-104, DraftKings)

Suarez hasn’t faced more than 21 batters in any of his last 3 turns through the Boston rotation. Tonight, he will have to contend with a tough Atlanta offense that has plenty of power potential against southpaws. Boston didn’t play yesterday either, which means their entire arm barn is rested for Tuesday’s action. It wouldn’t be surprising to see Suarez experience another quick hook tonight.

Kyle Harrison UNDER 6.5 Strikeouts (-104, Novig)

Harrison has been one of the most dominant pitchers in baseball this season, allowing 2 earned runs or fewer in each of his first 9 turns through the Milwaukee rotation. Nevertheless, asking for 7 strikeouts from a pitcher who has faced more than 21 batters in a game only twice this year is a tall task. It’s an even more difficult task when factoring in that no offense has struck out at a lower rate against southpaws during the last 30 days than the Cardinals. Milwaukee has a rested arm barn behind Harrison tonight, which could lead to a slightly shorter leash and fewer opportunities to earn strikeouts.

Randy Vasquez OVER 3.5 Strikeouts (-148, Novig)

Vasquez didn’t have any strikeouts in his most recent outing, but his fastball velocity remained up from where we saw it in 2025. Therefore, it stands to reason that we should see some more swing-and-miss stuff from him tonight in a favorable matchup against the Phillies.

Philadelphia chases out of the zone a fair amount, and they don’t make a tremendous amount of contact in the zone. Vasquez should have opportunities to get to 4 strikeouts tonight if he’s reasonably effective when it comes to keeping runs off of the board.
