  • Arizona Diamondbacks second baseman Ketel Marte has -125 odds to go over his season projection of 27.5 home runs.
  • The best MLB season prop offers -105 odds for Ronald Acuña Jr. to clear 27.5 stolen bases in 2026.
  • Bovada Sportsbook offers these props, plus more MLB season projections for every team.

ATLANTA – The MLB season is right around the corner and there’s two must-bet player props for season-long projections. The first prop comes with -125 legal sports betting odds for Ketel Marte to go over 27.5 home runs in 2026.

Ketel Marte Home Runs Prop

  • Over 27.5 Home Runs -125
  • Under 27.5 Home Runs -105

The Arizona Diamondbacks second baseman slugged 28 homers last season despite playing just 126 games, his lowest mark since 2021. In 2024, Marte hit 36 home runs in 136 games. Diamondbacks training staff plan to give Marte many days as a designated hitter to keep his legs fresh, which bodes well for his 27.5-homer projection at legal MLB betting sites in 2026.

Expect Ronald Acuña Jr. To Steal Bases Again In 2026

Ronald Acuña Jr. became the first player in MLB history to hit 40 home runs and steal 70 bases during his 2023 MVP campaign, but another ACL tear limited his base-stealing ability in 2025. However, Acuña Jr. says he is 200 percent entering the 2026 season and is ready to swipe bags again.

Ronald Acuña Jr. Total Stolen Bases

  • Over 27.5 Stolen Bases -105
  • Under 27.5 Stolen Bases -125

Acuña Jr. played it safe in 2025 and stole just 10 bases in 95 games as he returned from the torn ACL, but he stole 11 bases in 16 games in the Venezuelan Winter League. With Acuña Jr. healthy and ready to steal bases again in 2026, his 27.5 projection at Georgia sportsbook apps is way too low for a guy that’s stolen 37 bases and 73 bases in his last two seasons (2019, 2023) playing more than 150 games.
