MLB Best Bets: Top Juan Soto player props for Mets at Athletics on 4/12/25

The new-look New York Mets are first in the NL East at 9-4 and 8-2 across their last 10 games. The team looks truly formidable to start the season, especially with superstar Juan Soto in the lineup.

Here’s the top Soto prop bets on DraftKings Sportsbook as the Mets face off with the Athletics on Saturday afternoon.

The best Juan Soto prop bet on DraftKings Sportsbook

Soto is among the top hitters not only in the MLB right now, but in the entire history of the sport. His process at the plate is miles above that of most other players, and while he’s having a bit of a slow start to his 2025 campaign, he’s still making quite the impact with a .277 average and .404 OBP.

The Athletics still haven’t announced which pitcher will take the mound today, but Soto is still worth checking out in the prop betting market. In the first game of this series against the A’s, the star outfielder tallied a hit and a walk on four at-bats, also scoring two runs. A bit of an unspectacular line, sure, but this is the floor of Soto’s production.

One of the top prop bets to look at for Soto in this game is over 1.5 total bases at +100 odds. He’s gone over this line to record at least two total bases in six of his 13 games thus far in 2025, including four of his last seven contests. We know exactly how capable Soto is at putting the ball in play, and he’s got the speed to turn two if given the opportunity. At even odds, over 1.5 bases feels like a nice play for this afternoon ahead of the evening slate.
