MLB Prop Bets: Today’s Best Bets for Player Props For Oct. 3
Player prop targets for homers, strikeouts and more from BetMGM
Top MLB Player Prop Bets
José Ramírez Over 1.5 Bases (+130)
Kansas City Royals at Cleveland Guardians, 6:10pm ET
Batting .276 with an OBP of .352, Ramírez is having a good season — and he’s recorded six hits, including one homer, in his last seven games to prove it’s not slowing down. Against the Royals, who are having a rather underwhelming year, I think Ramírez should be able to stay hot at the plate.
This will be Kansas City pitcher Zack Greinke’s third time throwing to Ramírez this season. With an ERA of 3.78 and WHIP of 1.34, Greinke has had a decent season himself, but I’m still confident Ramírez can back up his solid year with two bases. At +130, the money is good, and for 1.5 bases, I love this prop.

Nico Hoerner Over 1.5 Bases (+135)
Chicago Cubs at Cincinnati Reds, 6:40pm ET
Hoerner is batting .282 with an OBP of .326 this season and has recorded just four hits in just his last seven games, which is lower than his usual standard. Against the Reds, who are having a pretty underwhelming season, Hoerner should be able to bring his best stuff at the plate tonight — don’t call it a comeback.
Cincinnati’s Hunter Greene will be starting on the mound tonight, and this will be his second time this season throwing to Hoerner, who went yard off him last time. With an ERA of 4.66 and WHIP of 1.25 this season, Greene isn't overwhelming, so I think two bases is doable.
“BEAT THE STREAK” PICK OF THE DAY: Bo Bichette, Toronto Blue Jays at Baltimore Orioles, 7:05pm ET
Batting .289 this season with an OPS of .804, Bichette has recorded 12 hits in his last seven games. Facing off against the Orioles, who are admittedly having a very decent season themselves even though recently eliminated from the playoffs, I have a good feeling about Bichette landing another hit tonight.
Bichette will meet Baltimore’s Dean Kremer at the plate, and this will be the third time this season the two have faced off. Kremer is having a good year, currently sitting on an ERA of 3.17 and WHIP of 1.26, so I’m excited to see Bichette knock the ball around. One hit on the road tonight is very doable.
