Bobby Witt Jr. has ignited the Royals’ offense with a scorching stretch in June. Over his last seven games, he’s been delivering clutch hits that result in wins, including a pivotal two-run blast in the ninth inning against the White Sox over the weekend. His recent surge underscores his status as one of the game’s most dynamic players. He just doesn’t get enough airtime because of his small-market, underperforming team. And also the Aaron Judge of it all. I digress. We’ll break down his stats below, especially as it relates to his splits at Kaufman Stadium. Let’s evaluate Witt Jr.’s best prop bets on the market for tonight’s game between the Royals and the Yankees.
Here’s how I’ll play it. I’ll be pumping out these predictions for individual games all season, with plenty of coverage here on DraftKings Network. Follow my handle @dansby_edits for more betting plays.
Best Bobby Witt Jr. prop bet for Royals vs. Yankees tonight
Bobby Witt Jr. 3+ total bases (+155)
Ladder-climb bet! Only one rung. But still! We love a ladder-climb bet!
Through 67 games this season, Witt is slashing .291/.349/.492 with 8 home runs, 37 RBIs, and 21 stolen bases, creating a dangerous mix of power and speed. His .839 OPS ranks him among MLB’s elite, reflecting his balanced approach at the plate. Additionally, his hard-hit rate of 17.9%, placing him in the 71st percentile, speaks volumes about his ability to consistently drive the ball. His recent form has been equally impressive, hitting .357 over his last seven games with two home runs and six RBIs. His monster 415-foot two-run shot on June 8th is just the latest example of his growing power. Fantasy managers rejoice.
Witt’s plate discipline has also improved significantly, with his In-Zone Decision Value+ consistently exceeding 110, showing he’s not just swinging for the fences but selecting his pitches wisely. His ability to consistently make solid contact aligns with his expected growth as a high-caliber hitter. Furthermore, with Witt projected to hit second tonight, he will be in prime RBI and run-scoring positions, heightening his chances of surpassing this elevated total bases mark.
Supporting this, Kauffman Stadium, with its favorable altitude and the forecasted 88° weather, further boosts Witt’s chances for extra-base hits. Add to that the 9.2 mph wind blowing out to left field, and the conditions are set for Witt to deliver a big performance. With recent power trends and solid metrics backing him up, Witt is primed to clear the 3+ total bases.
You’re telling me we’re locking in a ladder-climb bet with favoring winds for the best player in the AL overshadowed by Aaron Judge? Heck yeah.
Best bet: Roman Anthony to hit a home run (+500)
