MLB Best Bets & Player Props - Tuesday, June 17, 2025

The 2025 MLB season continues with a full slate of games on Tuesday, June 17. With exciting pitching matchups and playoff implications on the horizon, we've analyzed each contest to highlight the best bets and player props of the day.

Angels vs Yankees

Pick: Yankees ML
Player Prop: Aaron Judge Over 0.5 HR
Warren has been steady at home and the Yankees' lineup should thrive against Hendricks’ inflated ERA. Judge has homered in 3 of his last 6 games.

Phillies vs Marlins

Pick: Phillies -1.5
Player Prop: Trea Turner Over 1.5 Total Bases
Luzardo has found form and the Marlins continue to struggle offensively. Turner’s extra-base hit potential is high against Quantrill.

Pirates vs Tigers

Pick: Tigers ML
Player Prop: Riley Greene Over 0.5 RBI
With Mize on the mound and the Tigers rolling at home, this is a great spot to back Detroit and Greene against lefty Falter.

Rockies vs Nationals

Pick: Nationals -1.5
Player Prop: CJ Abrams Over 1.5 Total Bases
Senzatela’s high ERA provides plenty of opportunities for the Nationals' young bats.

Diamondbacks vs Blue Jays

Pick: Blue Jays ML
Player Prop: Vladimir Guerrero Jr. Over 0.5 HR
Despite Pfaadt's win record, his ERA is a concern. Guerrero Jr. has been mashing at home lately.

Twins vs Reds

Pick: Reds ML
Player Prop: Elly De La Cruz Over 2.5 Hits + Runs + RBIs
Abbott has been outstanding and the Reds are tough at home. Expect Elly to shine.

Mets vs Braves

Pick: Mets ML
Player Prop: Pete Alonso Over 1.5 Total Bases
Peterson is hot and Atlanta's Schwellenbach might struggle against this disciplined Mets lineup.

Orioles vs Rays

Pick: Rays ML
Player Prop: Randy Arozarena Over 1.5 Total Bases
Kremer’s inconsistency makes this a good spot for Tampa’s offense to bounce back.

Cardinals vs White Sox

Pick: Cardinals ML
Player Prop: Nolan Arenado Over 1.5 Total Bases
St. Louis holds the pitching edge and Arenado thrives in interleague matchups.

Royals vs Rangers

Pick: Rangers ML
Player Prop: Corey Seager Over 0.5 HR
Lugo has been hittable lately and Seager has been slugging well at Globe Life Field.

Brewers vs Cubs

Pick: Cubs ML
Player Prop: Cody Bellinger Over 1.5 Total Bases
Brown has struggled, and the Cubs should take advantage behind a hot Bellinger.

Red Sox vs Mariners

Pick: Mariners ML
Player Prop: Julio Rodríguez Over 0.5 Stolen Bases
Buehler’s control has been shaky. Expect Julio to get on base and be aggressive.

Guardians vs Giants

Pick: Giants ML
Player Prop: Matt Chapman Over 1.5 Total Bases
Ray has been elite and should dominate while Chapman gets extra-base opportunities.

Astros vs Athletics

Pick: Astros -1.5
Player Prop: Yordan Alvarez Over 0.5 HR
With Oakland's poor pitching staff, look for Houston’s power bats to feast.

Padres vs Dodgers

Pick: Dodgers ML
Player Prop: Shohei Ohtani Over 1.5 Total Bases
The Padres have struggled on the road and Ohtani continues to be an all-around threat.
