It was an exciting first weekend of the 2025 MLB season. Many teams dominated with sweeps, and we saw a ton of offense, something we rarely see this early in the season. Let’s hope it continues. Below are some players who could make an impact in today’s games.

Monday’s Best MLB Player Prop Bets
(Odds courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook)
Bo Bichette Over 2.5 Hits + Runs + RBI (+125)
There are a lot of questions heading into the Blue Jays’ season, and this organization could go in two completely different directions. Bo Bichette and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. will be free agents at the end of this season. Being two of the top players in the league, they should expect big paydays. Toronto has not been a competitor in the tough American League East over the last few years and has not been able to bring in big-time free agents. They could pay these two and try to build around them or trade them for a large haul of prospects and rebuild.
Bichette is making a case to get a big contract, no matter where he plays. He has the most hits (six) and is batting .500. He could stay hot tonight going against Michael Soroka, whom he's 2-for-5 against.
Kyle Schwarber 2+ Total Bases (+100)
It’s been a great start to the Phillies’ season, as they took two out of three against the Nationals. The offense looked great by finishing the weekend fourth in on-base percentage (.383) and fifth in batting average (.275).
Kyle Schwarber has never hit for average and has a career .230 average. He might not finish above .300 this season, but he started hot and went 5-for-13 (.385) with two home runs and four RBI in those three games.
The last couple of years for German Marquez have been plagued by injuries, making just five starts in the previous two seasons combined. He has never been an impactful pitcher with a 4.42 career ERA in nine seasons. Schwarber has a lot of success against Marquez - 4-for-16 (.429), with three extra-base hits.
Tyler Glasnow Under 1.5 Earned Runs Allowed (-140)
The reigning champs are looking great to start the year, having already swept two series on two continents. The power bats are out, as they are second in runs scored (30) and fifth in slugging (.503). The biggest questions were on the pitching side, with some injuries, but they've started well with a 2.93 ERA (10th).
Tyler Glasnow will be pitching for the first time since last August after a right elbow injury ended his season. His first start will be against a struggling team he's had success against. The Braves’ bats are non-existent and have been held scoreless for 22 straight innings to start the year. We could also see Glasnow have a short leash, with this being his first start in a long time. That means fewer innings to give up runs.
