Monday Player Prop Best Bets
Below you’ll find my official plays on the player prop market for Monday. These are the ones that make the VSiN Pro Picks page and count towards my season-long record. I’ll write three up per day, but I’ll add additional ones with earlier start times right below in an “Additional Best Bets” section. That’s also where you’ll find any late adds to my card.
Aaron Judge Over 1.5 Total Bases (-110) vs. Angels
Angels at Yankees – 7:05 pm ET
Judge hit a bomb in last night’s meeting with the Rays, and I like the star to ride that momentum into a productive game against the Angels tonight. Judge’s batting average against Kikuchi is a weak .192, but he has homered twice off him. Also, last year, Judge had a 0.755 slugging percentage when playing at home against left-handed starters. He also went Over 1.5 total bases in 19 of the 31 games he played against southpaw starters in 2025. This just feels like a very reasonable price to pay for Judge, and that’s especially true when looking at a game with the highest total on the board. Judge went Over 1.5 total bases in 50 of the 79 games he played with totals of 9.0 or higher last season. Tonight’s number is up at 9.5.
Eury Perez Over 5.5 Strikeouts (-105) vs. Braves
Marlins at Braves – 7:15 pm ET
The Braves are right near the bottom of the league in strikeout rate (19.2%) this year, but that number is due to start creeping up. Atlanta’s strikeout rate was up at 22.2% in 2025, and perhaps tonight will start to get it moving in the wrong direction. Perez is a highly-talented starter, and he’s capable of racking up strikeouts in a hurry. He had eight in his first start of the year, and he also went Over this number in a start against the Reds last game. That’s two starts with six or more strikeouts in three outings. Perez also finished the 2025 season with at least six strikeouts in his final four starts.
Roman Anthony Over 1.5 Hits + Runs + RBIs (-122) vs. Twins
Red Sox at Twins – 7:40 pm ET
Anthony is off to a miserable start this season, batting .200 with one homer and only three RBIs. However, I’m expecting some runs in tonight’s meeting between Boston and Minnesota, and I’ll take my chances with the 21-year-old finding something at the plate. Anthony hit .299 with four homers, a triple, 16 doubles, and 21 RBIs in 167 at-bats against right-handed pitching last year. Well, he’ll be going up against a burnable one tonight, with Bailey Ober on the bump for the Twins. Ober is coming off a disappointing 2025 season, and his numbers in 2026 look very similar through three starts.
Additional Best Bets
Mike Burrows Over 16.5 Outs Recorded (-117) vs. Mariners
Bryan Reynolds Over 1.5 Hits + Runs + RBIs (-110) vs. Nationals
Matthew Liberatore Over 3.5 Strikeouts (-126) vs. Guardians
Luis Severino Over 4.5 Strikeouts (-148) vs. Rangers
