Looking for an edge on today's massive 15-game MLB slate? Our expert has dug into the matchups and identified three standout player props to watch, featuring a red-hot leadoff man, a breakout star, and a perennial MVP threat.

First up, Washington Nationals shortstop CJ Abrams is the engine of his team's offense and is off to a scorching start. Hitting .371 with six homers and 19 RBI (second in MLB), he faces Giants' righty Logan Webb, who has struggled early with a 5.25 ERA. While Abrams' career average against Webb is low, he has driven in two runs off him, and with Webb coming off a rough outing, Abrams is in prime position to add to his RBI total, especially potent at home where he has eight of his 19 RBI.

Next, let's talk about the season's biggest surprise so far: Dodgers outfielder Andy Pages. The Cuban-born rookie isn't just hitting; he's leading the entire league in batting average, hits, and RBI. Lately, he's also been scoring more, crossing the plate in two of his last three games. With five hits in his last five appearances, Pages is consistently putting himself on base. Tonight's venue is the hitter's paradise of Coors Field against the Colorado Rockies, and with the Dodgers hitting .283 with runners in scoring position, the conditions are perfect for Pages to score a run.

Finally, when Yordan Alvarez is healthy, he's one of the most feared hitters in baseball, and he's proving it again. The Houston Astros slugger is mashing at a .328 clip with seven homers and 18 RBI. He's been on a tear lately, scoring four runs in his last three games. Tonight, he has a favorable history against Cardinals pitcher Kyle Leahy, having gone a perfect 2-for-2 with two hits in his career against him. Alvarez's combination of current form and past success makes him a strong candidate to continue his run-scoring ways.
