Best MLB Wild Card Round Player Props
- Michael Harris Over 1.5 Hits + Runs + RBI
- Ronald Acuna Over 1.5 Hits + Runs + RBI
Michael Harris (Braves vs. Phillies) Over 1.5 Hits + Runs + RBI
Harris had an excellent bounce-back regular season after a somewhat underwhelming 2025, as he finished the campaign with a .294 average and .812 OPS across 155 games. The talented outfielder belted a career-high 63 extra-base hits, including a career-best 36 doubles and 26 homers, and he drove in a career-high 87 RBI.
Harris put the finishing touches on those numbers by slashing .375/.412/.594 over his last eight games, a stretch where he also struck out a minuscule 8.8% clip. He’s carried over some of that momentum into the first two games of the series, hitting safely in each contest and going 3-for-3 with two runs in Game 1.
Harris averaged 2.2 hits + runs + RBI overall and at home during the season as well, and if he faces off with Aaron Nola on Thursday as appears likely, it’s worth noting three of the seven hits he has off the veteran right-hander in his career have left the yard. Nola also surrendered a career-high 37 homers this season, and 22 of those came off left-handed bats.

Ronald Acuna Jr. (Braves vs. Phillies) Over 1.5 Hits + Runs + RBI
We’ll double up on Braves for Thursday and roll with Acuna, who’s way overdue for a breakout after going just 3-for-18 over the final five games of the regular season and then 0-for-6 with a couple of walks, a hit-by-pitch and a run over the first two games of the series.
Acuna is expected to draw a matchup that could well coax him out of his doldrums, as projected Philies starter Aaron Nola has allowed a .339 average, 1.073 OPS, four homers and 10 RBI to Acuna in 67 career encounters. The talented outfielder averaged 1.9 hits + runs + RBI per game at home during the regular season as well, and Acuna also mustered a .275 average, .802 OPS and .353 wOBA against right-handers at Truist Park during the 2026 campaign.
