Freddie Freeman is once again featured in the best MLB prop picks for today’s baseball games.
Today’s MLB props narrative: The Los Angeles Dodgers star is as hot as anyone in the game and has an enticing price on his total bases prop. Freeman keeps cashing it, so I’ll keep playing it.
Check out my top MLB prop bets for Wednesday, June 4, featuring predictions on Baltimore Orioles teammates Gunnar Henderson and Ryan O’Hearn.
MLB prop bets
Best bet: Freeman over 1.5 total bases (+105)
I successfully recommended Freeman on this market yesterday on the basis that he was facing a right-hander.
He sees one again tonight, and I’m turning back to it.
Freeman and the Dodgers get New York starter Griffin Canning, who has been solid in his debut season with the Mets but is not someone you need to shy away from.
Canning (3.23 ERA) entered 2025 with a 4.96 ERA over his last three seasons and is an obvious regression candidate, sporting a career-high strand rate despite a career-high walk rate.
By wRC+, Freeman has been the best hitter in baseball outside of Aaron Judge. And no one has been more successful vs. right-handed pitching.
See where Freeman stacks up across several key categories when he has the platoon advantage:
- AVG: .403 (1st)
- SLG: .694 (1st)
- wOBA: .489 (1st)
- wRC+: 220 (2nd)
At home, Freeman is batting .387/.458/.632. His power is back and he’s hitting a career-best .369.
The former MVP is a slam-dunk play at this price any time he’s up against a right-hander.
Key stat: Freeman has topped this line in seven of his last nine games.
Best MLB picks
Henderson over 1.5 total bases (-121): Baltimore’s star shortstop started slow but has turned his season around and has particularly hit righties well.
Henderson is batting .321 with a .930 OPS vs. RHPs, clubbing six of his seven homers off them.
His Orioles see a struggling one tonight in Seattle’s Emerson Hancock. The Mariners starter is coming off a good outing but hasn’t been missing bats and carries a 5.64 ERA into tonight’s start.
Hancock has the luxury of throwing at his pitcher-friendly home stadium, but T-Mobile Park hasn’t been kind to him.
The 26-year-old has a 9.53 ERA in four home starts.
O’Hearn over 0.5 RBI (+170): I’ll end with an attempted bigger splash on one of Henderson’s teammates.
While Hancock gets the last-place Orioles, the team has been competent at the dish recently, sporting an above-average 106 wRC+ over the last two weeks.
At the centre of the charge has been O’Hearn, who has made a living hitting righties the last few seasons but is demolishing everyone thrown at him this year.
O’Hearn is top five in the majors in:
- AVG: .335
- OBP: .423
- wRC+: 177
He generally occupies the No. 4 or 5 spot in Baltimore’s lineup, prime run-producing positions.
Behind Henderson and a thriving Jackson Holliday, O’Hearn should get his chances tonight.
