We started off a fresh week of MLB betting picks with a familiar result: by booking a victory. We posted a 2-1 card yesterday, with both bets cashing at plus-money odds, and we’re going plus-money hunting again with our first selection on Tuesday.
We’re betting Cal Raleigh’s incredible form to continue in Arizona, as he draws a favorable matchup against the D-Backs in one of baseball’s most hitter friendly parks.

MLB Player Prop Pick #1: Raleigh 3+ Hits, Runs and RBI (+130 at DraftKings)
Raleigh will hit from the left side of the plate tonight where he boasts significantly more power. Eighteen of his league-high 26 home runs have come as a left-handed batters, as have 39 of his 53 RBIs.
The 28-year-old enters play in ridiculous form. He’s slashing .313/.377/.896 over the past two weeks, with 15 hits, 11 runs, nine homers and 18 RBI. He’s reached 3+ hits, runs and RBI in six of his past nine starts, while making hard contact at a 50.3% clip.
He’s 1-for-3 lifetime against Arizona starter Brandon Pfaadt, who’s been a punching bag for enemy lineups lately. Pfaadt has coughed up 5+ hits and 6+ runs in back-to-back outings, posting an ERA north of 8.00 since the start of May. Enemy hitters are slashing .275/.332/.489 against him in 2025, making hard contact at a 52% clip, with a 14% barrel rate.
MLB Player Prop Pick #2: Freeman 2+ Hits, Runs + RBI (-120 at DraftKings)
Next up, we’re backing Freddie Freeman to record 2+ hits, runs and RBI against Dylan Cease and the Padres. The LA slugger is 5-for-11 all-time versus Cease, and continues to defy father time.
The 35-year-old enters play ranked 3rd in MLB in batting average, and 4th in OPS. He’s making hard contact at an elite 46% rate, and is slashing .377/.448/.642 against right-handed pitching this season.
Cease meanwhile, enters playing having allowed 3+ runs in four consecutive starts, and 5+ hits in three straight outings. He’s yielding hard contact at a 39% clip, and has struggled historically against Freeman and the big bats of the Dodgers. Current LA hitters are slashing .286/.339/.500 versus Cease over a 112 at-bat sample size, with five home runs.
MLB Player Prop Pick #3: Wood Under 0.5 Hits (+115 at Bet365)
Last, but not least, we’ve got another plus-money wager to target in under 0.5 hits for James Woods. The Nationals slugger has been one of the coldest hitters in baseball lately, posting a .091 average so far in June. Wood has gone hitless in four of his last five games, and life won’t get any easier tonight against the Mets Griffin Canning.
The 29-year-old is fresh off his best outing of the season against the mighty Dodgers. He held LA scoreless through six innings, yielding only three hits. Canning has allowed one run or less in six of his past nine outings, as well as four or fewer hits. His velocity is up across each of his three primary pitches over last year, while enemy batters are making hard contact at a career-low 32% rate.
