MLB Best Bets: Top Kyle Tucker player props for Cubs at Dodgers on 4/12/25

Sports Betting Picks MLB DraftKings Network

The Chicago Cubs are 9-7 and find themselves tied for the early lead in the NL Central. The team is truly finding their stride as the MLB leaders in runs scored, also sitting top-five in hits and home runs. In particular, Kyle Tucker is excelling in his new home in the Windy City after being traded to the franchise over the offseason.

Here’s the top Tucker prop bets on DraftKings Sportsbook as the Cubs battle the Los Angeles Dodgers in L.A. this evening.

The best Kyle Tucker prop bet on DraftKings Sportsbook

The former Astro is off to a red-hot start this season despite the offseason trade. Tucker is batting .317 with the second-most hits of any major-leaguer, the fourth-most RBIs, and the most total bases in the MLB with 42. To top it all off, he’s tied for second in the home run race with five in 16 games.

All of that is to say that Tucker is a top talent in the big leagues. After years as one of many stars in Houston, he’s the bona fide top dog with the Cubs (and is going to net a very hefty contract extension if he keeps playing like this). Capitalizing on his hot form could be the move tonight on DraftKings Sportsbook.

The best Tucker prop for Cubs at Dodgers tonight is 2+ total bases at +135 odds. As mentioned earlier, the star outfielder leads the MLB in the stat category. He’s also tallied two or more bases in nine of his 16 appearances thus far in 2025. At plus-odds, I really like this angle tonight.

To top it off, Roki Sasaki is on the bump for the Dodgers in this one. The Dodgers’ prized offseason acquisition has been shaky to start the campaign with a 4.15 ERA, 2.08 WHIP, and just nine strikeouts in 8.2 innings of work across three games. Will he find his form at some point? Yes, but it probably won’t be against these high-flying Cubs tonight.
