And just like that, we’ve reached the final day of the MLB regular season. All 30 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
Jake Bauers 2+ Total Bases (+150)
Former journeyman Jake Bauers has found a home in Milwaukee and become an integral part of the 100+ win Brewers. The left-handed first baseman has fully broken out in 2026, and he enters Sunday hitting .266 with an .876 OPS and 26 home runs.
Bauers, 30, is well-positioned to punctuate his regular season with an exclamation point. He draws a favorable matchup with Cardinals right-hander Andre Pallante, who — despite posting a respectable 3.61 ERA across 28 starts (157 IP) — ranks in the bottom 10 percent of MLB pitchers in strikeout and chase rate. Bauers has historically owned this head-to-head battle, hitting 5-for-7 (.714) with a home run, a double, four walks, and five RBIs against Pallante in his career.
Tommy Pham 2+ Hits + Runs + RBIs (-137)
In one of MLB’s most compelling storylines in 2026, the White Sox have shrugged off three consecutive 100+ loss seasons to clinch the third American League Wild Card spot. Chicago has received a late-season boost from journeyman outfielder Tommy Pham, who has been incredible since joining the team in September.
Across seven games, the 38-year-old righty has posted an impressive .874 OPS with a home run, four walks, and three RBIs. He should keep the momentum rolling into the postseason against Colorado’s Kyle Freeland, who — among pitchers with at least 130 innings — has the highest ERA in baseball (6.58). In past matchups with Freeland, Pham has gone 8-for-28 (.286) with a homer, a double, and two RBIs.
Max Scherzer 6+ Strikeouts (-106)
Max Scherzer revealed on Saturday that he’s waiting until the offseason to determine whether he’ll return for a 20th MLB season. Just in case, the three-time Cy Young winner will look to deliver a vintage performance in Sunday’s regular-season finale.
The Blue Jays right-hander, 42, has struggled considerably this year, posting a 6.14 ERA (4.35 xERA) across 17 starts (77.2 IP). That said, he’s recorded at least six strikeouts in two of his last five starts, including seven Ks in his latest outing against the Orioles. Scherzer now gets a chance to face the Reds, who lead MLB with a 25.5 percent strikeout rate. In what may be the final start of his illustrious career, the future Hall of Famer looks poised to go out with a bang.
