Wondering what bets are popular among the public today? With DraftKings Network’s Player Props Page, all of this information is at your disposal. The Player Props tool provides all of the most bet player props by handle + odds on the DraftKings Sportsbook, updated as regularly as every five minutes!

I’ve taken today’s most popular MLB player props on DraftKings Sportsbook and broken down exactly why the public is so fond of these, helping you make informed picks ahead of Monday’s MLB slate. However, a couple things to note. First, home run props are by far the most popular market in MLB betting, so I might reach a little further down the list to shake things up on occasion. Speaking of, let’s just assume that a lot of people are betting on Shohei Ohtani, Aaron Judge and Kyle Schwarber to hit long balls every time they take the field. Deal? Deal.

BREAK IT DOWN:

(stats taken from DraftKings Sportsbook’s Stats Hub)

Gunnar Henderson 1+ Home Run (+383): It’s not shocking that the public is backing Henderson to hit a home run tonight, as the infielder is currently tied for the American League lead with six long balls. That said, Henderson’s expected wOBA is about 57 points lower than his actual wOBA, and a 31.6% HR/FB ratio isn’t going to sustain — though it is nice to see the 24-year-old elevating the ball more than he ever has in his career. Henderson and the Orioles will draw a matchup with the right-handed Ryne Nelson on Monday. Nelson’s had a rocky start to 2026, but across 154.0 innings in 2025, the Diamondbacks’ starter held left-handed opponents to 0.62 home runs per nine with a .251 wOBA. He might not be the guy you want to pick against in this market.

Jordan Walker 1+ Home Run (+434): If it wasn’t shocking that the public was backing Henderson, then it should be even less shocking that they’re backing Jordan Walker, who leads all of baseball in long balls (7). The former top prospect is finally having his breakout, and its completely backed up by the advanced stats. Walker enters play on Monday with 100th percentile marks in expected wOBA (.499), expected slugging rate (.799) and barrel rate (26.3%). In layman’s terms, he’s been an absolute monster so far this season. That said, Gavin Williams has been pretty great in his own right. Walks have been an issue in 2026 for the RHP, but he’s also striking out 37.3% of the opponents he’s faced through three starts. On paper, this isn’t a “good” matchup for anyone, even a red-hot Walker, as the 23-year-old’s Achilles heel remains his propensity to whiff.

Cristopher Sanchez 7+ Strikeouts (+109): The most-bet pitching prop of the slate is Cristopher Sanchez to record at least seven strikeouts against the Cubs. For as good as he was in 2025, Sanchez was not really known as a strikeout artist. However, through three starts in 2026, the southpaw has racked up 23 strikeouts in 16.1 innings of work, translating into an elite 33.3% strikeout rate. The 29-year-old is simply one of the best arms in the sport. It’s as simple as that. It also feels worth noting that Chicago’s been much better against RHPs than LHPs over the first three weeks of the regular season. Versus lefties, the Cubs are hitting just .204 with a 27.8% strikeout rate. However, the return of a healthy Seiya Suzuki should help the squad’s numbers within the split.


3-Pick Parlay

Taking three of the most-bet player props individually is always an option, but why not roll them into a parlay and get in on all the action at once? It’s a fun way to tie everything together — feel free to tag along.

Gunnar Henderson 1+ Home Run (+383)

Jordan Walker 1+ Home Run (+434)

Cristopher Sanchez 7+ Strikeouts (+109)

Parlay Odds: +5135
