Monday's MLB slate is packed with 10 games, offering a prime opportunity to build your betting card. As the season finds its rhythm, a few standout hitters are heating up at the perfect time. Let's break down three player props that have serious potential today.
First up, Atlanta's superstar Ronald Acuña Jr. is officially back. After a quiet start, he's riding a four-game hit streak with serious power, launching his first homer and adding two doubles and a triple. He faces Miami's Eury Perez, who has struggled early with a 5.06 ERA. In their limited history, Acuña has owned Perez, reaching base all three times with a homer and a double. This matchup screams for Acuña to keep his hot streak alive.
Over in Oakland, Shea Langeliers is quietly putting together a strong stretch for the Athletics. He's recorded hits in four of his last five games, including three multi-hit performances. While the homers haven't come lately, his underlying stats are elite—he ranks in the top 20% of the league in expected slugging, exit velocity, and barrel rate. He'll face Texas Rangers veteran Nathan Eovaldi, who has been uncharacteristically rough to start the year, sporting a 7.98 ERA and allowing a home run in each of his three starts. This could be the spot for Langeliers to break his power drought.
Finally, don't sleep on Philadelphia's Kyle Schwarber. The Phillies' slugger has been consistent in April, notching hits in seven of 10 games. He gets a dream matchup against Chicago Cubs right-hander Javier Assad. Schwarber has owned this pitcher historically, reaching base in all five career plate appearances with two hits and three walks. Against righties this season, Schwarber is among the league leaders in slugging (.688) and OPS (1.130), while topping the charts in barrel rate. All signs point to Schwarber doing serious damage at Citizens Bank Park tonight.
