MLB Player Prop Picks 6/8/25 MLB Picks (American League Pitchers)

Bowden Francis Over 2.5 Earned Runs

Toronto Blue Jays vs Minnesota Twins 2:10 PM EST

Bowden Francis, the Toronto Blue Jays’ right-handed starter, has made 12 starts this season, posting a 2–7 record with a 5.84 ERA over 57.0 innings pitched. During this time, he has struck out 48 batters and issued 19 walks, resulting in a WHIP of 1.47. He’s coming off a brutal start where he allowed 6 earned runs against the Phillies. I think he has another tough outing in this one. It looks like there’s 10+ mph winds facing the outfield in Minnesota on Sunday. The Twins have also been much better at the plate when in Minnesota.

Carlos Rodon Over 6.5 K’s

New York Yankees vs Boston Red Sox 5:10 PM EST

Carlos Rodón has been outstanding for the New York Yankees through early June 2025, anchoring their rotation with ace-level performances. Across 13 starts and 79.2 innings, he carries an impressive 8–3 record, a 2.49 ERA (ranking 14th in MLB), 98 strikeouts (4th in MLB), and a WHIP of 0.93. He’s been particularly strong in recent months, boasting a 1.47 ERA in May over 30.2 innings, and adding another near-perfect outing in early June. Rodon has logged 8+ strikeouts in his last 3 outings. This Red Sox lineup has been inconsistent, and Rodon should continue to roll in this one. 

Drew Rasmussen Over 4.5 K’s

Tampa Bay Rays vs Miami Marlins 12:10 PM EST

Through mid‑June of the 2025 MLB season, Tampa Bay Rays starter Drew Rasmussen has been one of the most effective pitchers in the league. Over 12 starts, he’s compiled a 5–4 record with a 2.14 ERA, striking out 56 batters in 63 innings, while posting a stellar 0.87 WHIP. He averaged 8.0 strikeouts per nine innings alongside a 5.5% walk rate. Over his last seven starts, he holds a 2.17 ERA with a 0.86 WHIP, demonstrating recent consistency. I’ve loved what I’ve seen from  Rasmussen this season, and I don’t see his dominance slowing down against a team like the Marlins.
