2025 FanDuel MLB Season Long Player Props
After reviewing some 2025 MLB player props on FanDuel, I’ve highlighted four that caught my eye:
1B Vinnie Pasquantino, KC (Over/Under – 0.5 stolen bases)
I did a double-take when I saw Pasquantino listed for stolen bases—hardly his calling card. Across 985 at-bats with the Royals, he’s swiped just two bags (roughly one per year). Last season, Kansas City ranked 11th in steals (134), powered by Bobby Witt (31) and Maikel Garcia (37). In his final two minor league seasons (2021-22), Pasquantino showed some opportunism, going 9-for-10 over 701 at-bats. I’m projecting him for three steals in 2025, based on his 1,685 at-bats over the past four seasons. For this prop to cash, he’d only need to tag along as the trailing runner in a double steal. At worst, it’s a bet that stays live all year.
Update: Pasquantino left his 3/22 spring training game with a hamstring issue, which puts a damper on this prop bet. I don’t know how serious the injury is and how much time he will miss.
2B Ozzie Albies, ATL (Over/Under – 11.5 stolen bases)
Injuries have sidelined Albies for 232 games across 2020 (31), 2022 (133), and 2024 (98), limiting him to 14 steals in 764 at-bats during those years. Still, his 91.3% success rate (21-for-23) shines under MLB’s newer base-stealing rules. The Braves stole just 69 bases last year—down from 132 when Ronald Acuna went off (73-for-87)—showing how reliant they were on their top guy. Albies’ prop feels reasonable, but with a healthy season and the rule changes, I see 20+ steals within reach, especially if he can bat behind more often. I projected him for 14 steals, though injuries could make that tight.
OF Cody Bellinger, NYY (Over/Under – 21.5 home runs)
Bellinger’s retooled swing has cut down his strikeouts over the past few years, but it’s also softened his hard contact. Missing 82 games across the last three seasons, he’s hit 63 homers in 1,519 at-bats, aligning with his prop line (21.5). At Yankee Stadium, though, about 18 of his near-misses over that span would’ve gone out. If he plays 150+ games, with half of his missed home runs success coming in New York, his swing could push him past 30 homers. I’m projecting 27 for him in 2025.
1B Christian Encarnacion-Strand, CIN (Over/Under – 17.5 home runs)
I’m calling Encarnacion-Strand my 2025 Breakout Hitter of the Year, so I’m all-in on his opportunity. With Spencer Steer starting on the IL, he’s got an early shot to lock down playing time. He hit 15 homers over his first 338 MLB at-bats, backed by 56 in 849 minor league at-bats. I’m projecting 31 home runs, and I’m targeting him hard in fantasy drafts this season.
