MLB Player Prop Picks 6/7/25 MLB Picks (American League Pitchers)

Garrett Crochet Over 7.5 K’s

New York Yankees vs Boston Red Sox 7:35 PM EST

Boston Red Sox left-hander Garrett Crochet has emerged as one of the premier pitchers in Major League Baseball. Through 13 starts this season, he holds a 5–4 record with a stellar 1.98 ERA over 82.0 innings pitched. Crochet has amassed 101 strikeouts against 26 walks, resulting in a commendable 1.06 WHIP. Crochet’s dominance was on full display during a recent outing on June 1 against the Atlanta Braves, where he struck out a season-high 12 batters over seven innings, allowing just one run on five hits. In Crochet’s start before that he logged 11 strikeouts against the Brewers. He’s one of the hottest pitchers in the MLB right now, and I have no problem backing him in this one against a strikeout-heavy team like the Yankees.

Michael Wacha Over 4.5 K’s

Kansas City Royals vs Chicago White Sox

Kansas City Royals right-hander Michael Wacha has delivered a solid performance in the 2025 MLB season. Over 12 starts, he holds a 3–4 record with a commendable 2.88 ERA across 68.2 innings pitched. Wacha has recorded 50 strikeouts against 18 walks, resulting in a WHIP of 1.17. Despite a win-loss record that doesn’t fully reflect his effectiveness, Wacha has been a reliable presence in the Royals’ rotation. In his last seven games, he has posted a 3–1 record with a 2.11 ERA over 42.2 innings, striking out 30 batters while issuing only 8 walks, and maintaining a WHIP of 1.08. He’s coming off a 6 K game against a strong Tigers team. If he can have success against the Tigers, he should have no problem facing this White Sox lineup. 

Jack Kochanowicz Over 2.5 Earned Runs

Seattle Mariners vs Los Angeles Angels 9:38 PM EST

Los Angeles Angels right-hander Jack Kochanowicz has made 12 starts in the MLB season, recording a 3–7 win-loss record with a 5.34 ERA over 64.0 innings pitched. He has struck out 44 batters and issued 32 walks, resulting in a WHIP of 1.56. In his most recent outing on June 1 against the Cleveland Guardians, he allowed four earned runs over 3.2 innings. His start before that, he allowed 4 runs against the Yankees. He has another tough matchup going against this Mariners lineup that’s been very dangerous away from Seattle. Advanced metrics suggest that Kochanowicz has struggled to limit hard contact. Opponents have achieved an average exit velocity of 92.4 mph and a hard-hit rate of 48.5% against him. I expect the top of this Mariners lineup to have success off Kochanowicz.
