Looking for the best Underdog Fantasy MLB picks today? Our Underdog MLB Pick'em predictions for Thursday, May 7, 2026, spotlight two MLB player props worth targeting on today’s action-packed MLB slate. Konnor Griffin’s hits+runs+RBI and Bobby Witt’s total bases both come with clear situational edges backed by current form, matchup data, and recent trends. If you are building your Underdog Pick'em entry for tonight's MLB slate, here is the full case for where we land on both and why the numbers set up the way they do.

What are the Best Underdog MLB Pick'em Picks Today?

Today’s two best Underdog Fantasy MLB Pick'em plays are Konnor Griffin over 1.5 hits + runs + RBI and Bobby Witt over 1.5 total bases. Both props are supported by matchup data, current streaks, and favorable line construction heading into an action-packed day of baseball. Read below for the complete analysis on each.

 

 

 

Konnor Griffin OVER 1.5 Hits + Runs + RBI

As a 19-year-old in the big leagues, Griffin slashed .182/.247/.242 across 73 plate appearances. However, since maturing at the young age of 20, Griffin has slashed .395/.458/.651 with an astounding .256 ISO. He’s hit safely in 10 of his last 12, and he’s currently in the midst of an 8-game hit streak. His numbers are slightly better against right-handed pitching, and in fact, since celebrating his 20th birthday, he’s posted a .400 average and 1.076 OPS against RHP!

Griffin and the Pirates will take on Zac Gallen on Thursday, a righty who has a 4.45 ERA and 5.21 xERA through seven starts on the season. He’s not missing bats, and his 91.8% zone contact rate and 83.8% contact rate would easily be career highs. Furthermore, he’s shown some reverse splits this season, surrendering a .323 average, .462 SLG, and .371 wOBA to right-handed hitters.

I like the Pirates to get to Gallen today, and expect Griffin to be a key player in this one.

Bobby Witt OVER 1.5 Total Bases

Witt may not be the hottest hitter on the planet of late, but I love the matchup today. Not only is he sporting a .447 SLG and .184 ISO at home this year, but there are going to be strong winds blowing out today at Kauffman Stadium. Slade Cecconi is going to the rubber for the Guardians, and he’s served up a .606 SLG, .420 wOBA, and 2.76 HR/9 to right-handed hitters this year! He’s really, really, really struggled with righties all year long, and he’s allowed four or more earned runs in all but one of his road starts this year.

A struggling pitcher taking on one of the league’s premier hitters with strong winds blowing out at a park that has been above-average for RHH this season? Sign me up!
