With baseball always on my mind and pitchers and catchers getting ready to report, now feels like the right moment to start digging into 2026 season long player props. Early numbers are already popping at Lucky Rebel, giving bettors a chance to get ahead of the market before limits rise and lines move.
A handful of these immediately stood out, but patience is key this time of year. I want to see how other books respond and compare prices before locking anything in. That said, these early leans are absolutely worth tracking as spring training approaches.
Will we see incredible year out of Jose Ramirez?
With baseball always on my mind and pitchers and catchers gearing up to report for spring training, now feels like the perfect time to dive into some season long player futures.
Lucky Rebel already has a wide range of odds posted for your favorite players and teams. A few of these immediately caught my eye, but I have not jumped in just yet. I want to see what other books roll out and take the time to compare prices before making any moves.
Mr. Consistent, a star who has gone over this number four times over the last five years. Last season, Jose Ramirez cashed my alt line 30+ home run parlay with him and Francisco Lindor, one of the many highlights of 2025.
Now entering 2026, the 33-year-old third baseman looks poised for yet another MVP caliber season. This Guardians team did nothing to add talent around him, but he will likely still shine as the biggest bat in the lineup. Even with limited help, Ramirez should still find a way to at least eclipse 28 home runs this season.
Asking one of the best hitters in the Rockies lineup to clear 27 home runs feels like a breeze. Half of his games come at Coors Field, and he already crushed 31 home runs in his first full season in the big leagues.
During what was an embarrassing season for Colorado, Hunter Goodman emerged as a massive bright spot for both the fans and the organization. The 26 year old catcher hit .278 with an .843 OPS and consistently provided reliable power. He is set up for another impactful season in 2026.
A young star in the making, Wyatt Langford put together an impressive sophomore season with the Rangers, blasting 22 home runs across 134 games. That production makes this number feel low with the line sitting at 23.5, especially with new manager Skip Schumaker taking over in Texas.
Schumaker is known for getting the most out of young players, and that matters here. I would not be shocked if Langford pushes toward 30 home runs this season, which makes asking for 24 feel very reasonable.
One of the more underrated players in baseball, Jung Hoo Lee is a fan favorite in the Bay, and I find a ton of joy in watching him play. In 2025, the 27-year-old appeared in 150 games and batted .266 with a .715 OPS, recording 149 hits and 51 extra base hits. Of those 149 hits, 111 came against right handed pitchers. He batted .241 in 158 at bats against south paws.
With Lee likely hitting toward the top of the lineup against right handed pitching and closer to the bottom against south paws, I will continue to monitor where he slots in during spring training.
