In the midst of the start of the NBA Finals tonight, a 13-game MLB slate with first pitch coming at 12:15 pm ET is where we’ll begin our Thursday. Let’s dive into my best MLB player prop bets for Thursday, June 5, while you can also find out our MLB picks for every matchup today.
Best MLB player prop bet: Tigers F5 -0.5 over White Sox (-130)
Odds available at BetMGM Sportsbook at time of publishing.
Casey Mize will be on the bump for the Tigers after a brutal start in Kansas City, where he allowed 8 hits and 3 earned runs. Nonetheless, the Tigers’ offense lifted Mize and came out winners through the first 5 innings. We’ll back the Tigers on the F5 line again against a White Sox team starting Sean Burke and his 5.46 xERA.

Odds available at DraftKings Sportsbook at time of publishing.
Our 2nd MLB prop bet of the day comes later in the night, as the Rays play host to the Rangers at George M. Steinbrenner Field — one of the most hitter-friendly parks in the MLB as it ranks top 12 in Park Factor according to BaseballSavant. Jack Leiter put together one of his best starts of his season last time out, throwing 5 shutout innings and getting the win. Nonetheless, DraftKings is offering the F5 over of 4.5 at -120, while the rest of the market is coming in at -130.
