MLB Best Bets: Top player prop bets for Sunday, 9/13/26

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

TJ Rumfield 2+ Hits + Runs + RBIs (-106)

Rookie standout TJ Rumfield continued his torrid September on Saturday night, going 3-for-5 with a double in Colorado’s 11–7 loss to the Tigers. The Rockies first baseman, 26, is hitting .400 with a 1.189 OPS, two home runs, seven runs scored, and six RBIs across nine games this month. 

Rumfield has mashed right-handed pitching all season, and he’s well-positioned to follow suit in Sunday’s series finale against the Tigers. He draws a favorable matchup against fellow youngster Jackson Jobe, who is saddled with a 4.45 ERA and an even worse 5.03 xERA across six starts (28.1 IP) in 2026.


Luis Garcia Jr. 2+ Total Bases (+125)

Luis Garcia Jr. has been exactly what the Yankees needed. The ex-Nationals first baseman, 26, has hit .314 with an .886 OPS and seven of his 30 home runs since putting on the pinstripes after the trade deadline. He’s riding a five-game hitting streak, punctuated by a three-hit performance in Friday’s Subway Series opener against the Mets. 

Recharged from a rest day, Garcia should pick up where he left off in Sunday’s rubber match. The lefty slugger — who trails only MVP frontrunners Yordan Alvarez and Pete Crow-Armstrong with a .554 slugging percentage in 2026 —  now gets to take some hacks off Mets starter Christian Scott. 

While the young right-hander has impressed this season, his 34.5 percent ground-ball rate ranks in the bottom nine percent of MLB arms. That’s a serious red flag when pitching at Yankee Stadium — against a hitter who has already taken him deep in their past matchups.


Payton Tolle Under 6.5 Strikeouts (-142)

The American League Cy Young race is going down to the wire, with Toronto ace Dylan Cease currently neck-and-neck with New York’s Cam Schlittler. Gaudy strikeout numbers bolster the former’s case; he paces the AL in strikeout rate (35.5 percent) and Ks per nine innings (12.72). 

The star right-hander, 30, has recorded eight or more strikeouts in 17 of his 26 starts (65 percent) this year,  including four of his last six. Cease opened his 2026 campaign with 12 Ks over 5.1 frames against the Athletics on March 28. He now takes another stab at the A’s lineup, which has been gutted by injuries and owns a middling 21.9 percent strikeout rate since the All-Star break.
