Happy Saturday! Major League Baseball had action spread all throughout the day to begin the weekend, but there are still a number of games yet to get underway, with 8 games starting at 7:05 p.m. ET or later. As a result, those who were busy during the day still have plenty of time to find a play or two to their liking for tonight’s slate.
Below are three prop leans for April 6!

MLB Player Props Today
Jung Hoo Lee UNDER 0.5 Strikeouts
Connor Wong UNDER 0.5 Total Bases
Logan O’Hoppe OVER 0.5 Total Bases
Jung Hoo Lee UNDER 0.5 Strikeouts (+100), DraftKings
Jung Hoo Lee struck out in his first plate appearance (PA) on Opening Day, and he struck out twice again this past Wednesday — both of those are likely to be rare occurrences. During Spring Training, Lee struck out only 4 times in 40 PA. Since 2019, Lee struck out in 7.6% of his PA or fewer each year in the KBO.
On Thursday, Lee cashed at +200 against Tyler Glasnow, who has some of the best swing-and-miss stuff in the big leagues. On Friday, Lee cashed against Dylan Cease for the second time in less than a week. Tonight, Lee will face Michael King, who also has really good swing-and-miss stuff.
Simply, this is a bet on Lee that has too much value given the +100 price. Last year, Masataka Yoshida struck out in only 10 of his first 29 games in the MLB, and Lee has equally good bat-to-ball skills, if not better. We will continue to play this prop every day that we get it at plus money.
Connor Wong UNDER 0.5 Total Bases (-115), BetMGM
Connor Wong is 2-for-4 against left-handed pitching (LHP) to begin 2024, which means he’s already nearing his quota for total hits against LHP for the entire season. In 2023, Wong had a .156 batting average against LHP in 108 plate appearances. Today, he will have to contend with Reid Detmers, who was absolutely sensational in his first start of the year against the Orioles. We will take our chances here in a tough matchup.
Logan O’Hoppe OVER 0.5 Total Bases (-165), BetMGM
Logan O’Hoppe is off to a fantastic start to the new campaign, especially against right-handed pitching (RHP). Entering play on Saturday, he owns a .615 batting average against RHP, including a pair of extra-base hits. He doesn’t have the easiest matchup in the world, facing Garrett Whitlock here, but there is something to be said about a player who is seeing the ball well. Asking for one base knock here isn’t unreasonable, especially if the Angels can get into the Red Sox bullpen by the 6th inning.
