MLB Prop Bets Breakdown (June 8, 2026)
Let’s break down the top MLB prop bets and picks for today. Click on each headline below to view the latest odds and bet these plays on DraftKings Sportsbook.
Houston Astros team total over 4.5 runs (-120) vs. Los Angeles Angels
Grayson Rodriguez has only made four starts in 2026, but boy, has it been rough. He’s allowed 20 runs (19 earned) on 23 hits with 11 walks through just 18 innings. These bad starts have been warranted as well, as his 9.50 ERA comes with an xERA of 7.08 and a 5.94 FIP. Tonight he’ll face an Astros lineup that destroys four-seam fastballs, which is what Rodriguez is throwing 53% of the time. Tonight’s expected lineup has a combined .386 wOBA with a .257 ISO. Not surprisingly, Rodriguez’s fastball has been getting crushed, with opposing hitters tagging it for a .430 wOBA and a .324 ISO.
Jackson Chourio 2+ Total Bases (-120) vs. Athletics
Chourio has been back for just over a month and has been hitting for a lot of power. On the season, he’s averaging two total bases per game to go with an overall .364 wOBA and a .187 ISO. He’s in a great spot tonight against Jeffrey Springs and the Athletics. Now, this game is a home game for the Athletics, but it IS NOT in Sacramento; it’ll be in Las Vegas. No, their future home ballpark isn’t completed; they’ll instead be playing in Summerlin at the home of the Las Vegas Aviators. This is an extreme hitters park, à la Coors Field. That’s a big reason the game total is sitting at 11.

Logan Webb over 2.5 earned runs allowed (+120) vs. Washington Nationals
To Webb’s credit, he’s pitched well since he returned from a short IL stint. In 11.1 innings, Webb has allowed just one run on four hits with nine strikeouts against the Rockies and Brewers. However, this is a tough matchup for Webb, and we saw that once already this season. In his prior start against the Nationals, Webb allowed four runs (three earned) on seven hits through six innings. The big reason? The Nationals can load up on lefties, and they likely will tonight. They’ll likely have at least seven in their lineup tonight, and that’s the tougher matchup for Webb. While he’s held righties to just a .262 wOBA, lefties have tagged him for a .331 wOBA.
