The Milwaukee Brewers and New York Yankees (-152) kick off Thursday’s MLB Opening Day with three valuable player props.
For the Yankees, Aaron Judge over 1.5 total bases (+105) and Cody Bellinger to get a hit (-170) are the best bets.
Jackson Chourio has -215 odds to get a hit for the Brewers against Yankees starter Carlos Rodon.

BRONX, N.Y. – The three best betting props for MLB Opening Day are all in the first game between the Milwaukee Brewers and the New York Yankees. Reigning AL MVP Aaron Judge has +105 legal sports betting odds to go over 1.5 total bases on Opening Day.

Aaron Judge Total Bases Prop

Over 1.5 Total Bases +105
Under 1.5 Total Bases -135

Judge always crushes on Opening Day, as he’s cleared Thursday’s 1.5-base projection in three-straight season-openers. He has +200 odds to hit a home run, which he did back in 2023 on Opening Day.

A new Yankees slugger in Cody Bellinger is another great bet to go over his 0.5 total base projection against the Brewers. The lefty Bellinger gets a great matchup with Brewers’ right-handed starter Freddy Peralta, who he’s hitting .407 against in 12 career at-bats.

Over 0.5 Total Bases -170
Under 0.5 Total Bases +130

Bellinger had an impressive spring training with a .400 batting average (20 hits) on 50 at-bats. He’ll be ready for Opening day and only needs one hit to cash his -170 MLB betting odds against the Brewers.

Best Brewers Prop: Jackson Chourio To Get A Hit (-215)

After a fantastic rookie campaign in 2024, MLB betting sites expect Jackson Chourio of the Brewers to have similar success to start off the 2025 season against the Yankees. There are -215 legal Wisconsin sports betting odds for Chourio to get a hit on Thursday.

Jackson Chourio Total Hits Prop

Over 0.5 Hits -215
Under 0.5 Hits +160

Chourio will benefit from being on the road at Yankee Stadium, as he hit .307 away from home compared to a .243 average in Milwaukee. He had the 19th best batting average in the National League last season, higher than MVP candidate Francisco Lindor, so confidently bet Chourio to get a hit on Opening Day.
