Looking for the best PrizePicks MLB picks today? Our MLB PrizePicks predictions for Thursday, April 23, 2026, feature two MLB player props worth targeting on today’s MLB slate. The hits + runs + RBI lines for Michael Harris and Munetaka Murakami carry strong situational value, matchup context, and historical data. Whether you are building a two-leg power play or stacking these into a larger entry, here is a full breakdown of where both lines land tonight and why.
What Are the Best PrizePicks MLB Picks Today?
Today’s two best PrizePicks MLB player props are Michael Harris over 1.5 hits+runs+RBI and Munetaka Murakami over 1.5 hits+runs+RBI. Both lines carry clear situational edges based on matchup, current form, and opponent tendencies. Read below for the full breakdown on each pick.
Michael Harris OVER 1.5 Hits + Runs + RBI
There may not be a hotter hitter in baseball right now than Michael Harris. He has four home runs and a .526 average over his last six games, and he finds himself on the best side of his splits today. He’s posted a .966 OPS versus right-handed pitching, and a 1.079 OPS on the road this season, and guess what? He’s on the road facing a righty today!
Cade Cavalli will toe the rubber for the Nationals, and left-handed hitters have been his kryptonite in 2026. Lefties have posted a .400 average, .422 wOBA, and .529 BABIP against the young right-hander in 2026, and I expect Harris (and the other Atlanta lefties) to capitalize.
Munetaka Murakami OVER 1.5 Hits + Runs + RBI
The powerful lefty is seeing a beach ball at the dish right now. While his five-game homer streak is impressive, he’s also posted a .500 average and 1.182 SLG! Like many lefties, Murakami has been far better against right-handed pitching, and in 2026, he’s put forth a .465 wOBA and 1.091 OPS against RHP.
While Arizona’s Michael Soroka has been solid this year, his ground ball rate is lower than in past seasons, and left-handed hitters have a .488 SLG and .397 wOBA against him thus far in 2026. Another thing that could benefit Murakami in this matchup is that Soroka doesn’t have overpowering velocity, which was a bit of a concern for Murakami when making the transition to the MLB.
Only one of Murakami’s 10 homers on the season has come against a pitch faster than 95 miles per hour, and the average pitch velocity across his 10 home runs is 89.8 miles per hour. Well, Soroka’s fastball sits at an average of 94 miles per hour, and his other primary offerings to lefties sit in the low-to-mid 80s.
