Looking for the best PrizePicks MLB picks today? Our MLB PrizePicks predictions for Sunday, April 12, 2026 feature two MLB player props worth targeting on today’s MLB slate. The lines for Jordan Walker’s hits+runs+RBI and Jameson Taillon’s walks allowed 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 Jordan Walker over 1.5 hits+runs+RBI and Jameson Taillon over 1.5 walks allowed. Both lines carry clear situational edges based on matchup, current form, and opponent tendencies. Read below for the full breakdown on each pick.

 

 

 

Jordan Walker OVER 1.5 Hits + Runs + RBI

Walker is in the midst of a seven-game hit streak where he’s slashed .393/.452/.929 with five home runs, 10 RBI, and six runs scored. To say the least, he’s been impressive this season, and at home this year, he has a strong 1.015 OPS and 189 wRC+. He’ll also take on Brayan Bello today, a right-hander, and Walker has a .265 ISO versus righties this season.

Bello isn’t exactly off to the most noteworthy start to begin the year, as he’s allowed 10 runs (8 ER) on 13 hits across 8 IP with a 7:7 K/BB ratio. Righties have posted a .413 wOBA against him, and while Bello is primarily a groundball pitcher, strong winds will be blowing out to left today.

It may only take Walker one swing to cruise past this line, especially if he can get under a sinker from Bello.

 

 

 

Jameson Taillon OVER 1.5 Walks Allowed

I envision a lot of runs being scored today at Wrigley with very strong winds blowing out, and due to that, Taillon is likely to exercise some caution around some of Pittsburgh’s more potent bats. Across 9.2 innings in spring training, Taillon walked eight batters, and while he didn’t walk any batters his last time out, he walked four batters in just 4.2 IP in his season debut.

The Pirates have a 10.5 percent walk rate against right-handed pitching this season, and since Taillon joined the Cubs a few years back, his walk rate is north of seven percent when pitching at home with the wind blowing out.
