MLB Best Bets: Top player prop bets for Sunday 7/12/26

All 30 MLB clubs are in action on Sunday, bringing plenty of star power and value across the board. 

Let’s dive into three of the strongest player prop bets on DraftKings Sportsbook.


Best MLB player prop bets on DraftKings Sportsbook

Tyler Soderstrom 2+ Total Bases (+142)

It may sound like hyperbole, but Tyler Soderstrom has been one of the best hitters in baseball over the past month and a half. The ascendant Athletics’ outfielder, 24, has hit a sizzling .316 with nine home runs since May 24. He ranks fourth in MLB in OPS (1.071) and third in wRC+ (192) and wOBA (192) in that span. 

He’s also shrugged off his struggles in same-side pitching matchups, boasting a 1.079 OPS in 44 plate appearances against southpaws during this torrid stretch.

Soderstrom bashed his 14th homer of the year — a 392-foot, no-doubter to right — in Friday’s series opener against the White Sox. He should stay hot on Sunday against Chicago’s Noah Schultz, who has struggled mightily in 2026. The beleaguered lefty is responsible for a 6.00 ERA (6.05 xERA) across 10 starts (48 IP), serving up six homers in his last six outings.


Rafael Devers 3+ Hits + Runs + RBIs (+138)

Rafael Devers is straight-up bullying the Rockies heading into the All-Star break. Since last Friday, the two-time Silver Slugger has clobbered four home runs across six games in Denver and San Francisco. 

Devers, 29, has historically battered MLB’s perennial punching bag, hitting .351 with a 1.265 OPS and 11 homers in 24 career games against the Rockies. He also enters Sunday’s series finale on a dominant run of form, owning a .935 OPS with 17 bombs since the beginning of May. 

Both trends should continue Sunday afternoon in San Francisco. Devers is lined up against beleaguered right-hander Michael Lorenzen, who holds a 6.46 ERA — the second-highest in MLB (min. 70 IP) — across 20 outings. The veteran hurler ranks in the bottom ten percent of MLB in xERA (5.45), xBA (.289), and hard-hit rate (46.2 percent), among several other advanced metrics.


Jose Soriano Less Than 5.5 Strikeouts (-127)

The Twins are heading into the All-Star break on an absolute tear. They’re one of the hottest teams in baseball at 17–11 since June 10, the second-best mark in the American League behind Boston (18–10). Minnesota leads the AL in wRC+ and wOBA during that span — while ranking third in MLB with a negligible 18.8 percent strikeout rate. 

That spells trouble for Los Angeles right-hander Jose Soriano, adding to an already lengthy list of recent struggles. The 27-year-old fireballer has scuffled after a Cy Young-worthy start to 2026, saddled with a swollen 5.12 ERA in 12 starts since the beginning of May. He’s finished with fewer than 5.5 strikeouts in half of those outings, including four of his last six.
