Tuesday's baseball schedule features all 30 MLB teams in action, presenting a wealth of opportunities for those interested in player performance markets. Three standout matchups deserve particular attention as we examine the day's most intriguing player prop scenarios.
Arizona's Corbin Carroll enters tonight's game against Miami on fire, riding a seven-game hitting streak while batting an impressive .333 with five home runs through 16 games this season. The young star has cleared the 1.5 total bases threshold in six of his last seven outings and draws a favorable matchup against right-hander Connor Gillispie. Carroll's career .875 OPS against right-handed pitchers (compared to just .701 versus lefties) suggests he's positioned for another productive performance batting leadoff.
Meanwhile, questions surround 42-year-old Justin Verlander as he takes the mound for San Francisco against Philadelphia. The future Hall of Famer's recent struggles—a 6.92 ERA through three starts this season following last year's troubling 5.48 ERA—indicate a potential decline. Verlander faces a particularly challenging assignment tonight against the Phillies' powerful left-handed bats, including Bryce Harper, Kyle Schwarber, and Bryson Stott, in a ballpark known for its home run-friendly dimensions.
Los Angeles superstar Shohei Ohtani appears ready to build on yesterday's breakout performance against Colorado, where he went 3-for-5 with a homer and three runs scored. While his 2025 numbers (.296 batting average, five homers, 18 runs, and six RBIs) haven't quite matched his MVP form from last season, his .390 on-base percentage continues to create scoring opportunities. Ohtani faces Rockies starter Ryan Feltner, who despite showing early promise this season, carries career numbers (5.12 ERA, 1.414 WHIP) that suggest vulnerability.
According to Statbet analytical projections, Ohtani's performance metrics against right-handed pitchers make him particularly dangerous in tonight's matchup at Dodger Stadium, where his power numbers have traditionally spiked.
With favorable circumstances aligned for both Carroll and Ohtani, and challenging conditions facing Verlander, Tuesday's slate offers compelling player prop narratives worth monitoring throughout the evening's action.
