Hot MLB Player Props Today: Rooker Showing Sizzling Streak

Hey there! Here's a fresh spin on today's MLB player props for Friday, May 2, 2025:

It's time to hit the books on some undervalued players! Let's dive into our top MLB player prop bets:

Craving That Strikeout Boost? Check out Jonathan Cannon's OVER 3.5 Strikeouts at FanDuel (-160)

Who is Jonathan Cannon? Well, he's a shoe-in for the White Sox rotation, boasting a solid 91 ERA+ over 124 innings last season. Despite being a fifth starter on most teams, Cannon has been underestimated by bookmakers this year.

The right-handed hurler has surpassed 3.5 strikeouts in four consecutive starts and five of six contests this season. Even though the Astros aren't big swing-and-miss guys (11th in K%), the OVER 3.5 seems to be a deal too good to pass. Cannon impressed in his last two outings, pitching six and 7.2 innings respectively[1].

Looking for a Sweet Base-Tastic Win? Go for Rooker's OVER 1.5 Total Bases at FanDuel (+120)

Hit it out the park with Rooker! He's enjoying another hot start and has been slashing .303/.410/.576 over his last 10 games, knocking 5 extra-base hits. All we need is a double on Friday, and this prop will be in the win column. Riding this amazing streak, Rooker scored cashing this 1.5 total bases prop in four out of six recent games and almost half of his games this season[2].

Though the Marlins are yet to confirm their starter, Valente Bellozo might toe the rubber. In his 13 starts last year, Bellozo allowed a hefty 9.0 H/9 and 2.0 HR/9, yet somehow managed to keep his ERA at 3.76[1]. With Rooker on a tear, it's hard not to see a big day coming his way.
