Best MLB Player Props for Wednesday, August 26th
Here are my top player prop bets for today, with the first pitch scheduled for 6:40 PM ET on Wednesday, August 26th:
- Roki Sasaki Over/Under 4.5 Strikeouts
- Francisco Lindor Over/Under 1.5 Hits + Runs + RBIs
- Carson Benge Over/Under 1.5 Hits + Runs + RBIs
Roki Sasaki OVER 4.5 Strikeouts (-167, Novig)
Sasaki has looked great since the All-Star Break, with a 2.31 ERA, 3.26 xERA, 3.00 FIP, and 1.17 WHIP across his last 6 starts. He owns a 24.1% strikeout rate in that span. Increased velocity and more first-pitch strikes have allowed him to consistently put away hitters late in counts.
Atlanta’s offense has chased pitches out of the zone at the 2nd-highest rate in baseball across the last 2 weeks. Sasaki, who excels at getting hitters to swing at bad pitches, should have every chance to get 5 strikeouts in this spot.
Francisco Lindor OVER 1.5 Hits + Runs + RBIs (+110, DraftKings)
DRAFTKINGSLindor has excelled to a 137 wRC+ since the All-Star Break, with 8 home runs and 20 runs scored in that span. Tonight, he’s in the 2-hole against Dustin May, who has struggled to a 1.52 WHIP across the platoon in 2026. Lindor should have chances to make an impact at the plate this evening.
Carson Benge OVER 1.5 Hits + Runs + RBIs (+123, DraftKings)
DRAFTKINGSBenge has been one of the hottest hitters in baseball in recent weeks. Since July 29, he owns a 183 wRC+, hitting .376 with 5 home runs and 14 runs scored. Tonight, he will get to face Dustin May, who allowed 7 earned runs in his most recent turn through the Milwaukee rotation. May has consistently struggled against LHB this year, which should favor Benge in this matchup.
