LAS VEGAS – After a long trek through the pandemic-ridden months of Winter, baseball is officially back to grace the lives of sports bettors and fans worldwide.

Just ahead of Opening Day, sportsbooks around the country are offering unique season prop bets on nearly every aspect of the 2021 season.

From win totals, award races, stat leaders, personal player props, and so much more, there is a way to bet on nearly every facet of the 2021 MLB season at the major online sportsbooks.

One of the most popular bets ahead of the season asks who will lead the league in hits.

2021 Most Regular Season Hits

  • DJ LeMahieu +1000
  • Trea Turner +1100
  • Whit Merrifield +1100
  • Mookie Betts +1400
  • Tim Anderson +1800
  • Freddie Freeman +2000
  • Rafael Devers +2200
  • Francisco Lindor +2200
  • Ketel Marte +2200
  • Corey Seager +2800
  • Eloy Jimenez +2500
  • Marcus Semien +2800
  • Bo Bichette +2500
  • Ronald Acuna Jr. +2800
  • Ozzie Albies +2800
  • Jeff McNeil +2800
  • Christian Yelich +2800
  • Starling Marte +3300
  • Jose Abreu +3300
  • Juan Soto +4000
  • Marcell Ozuna +4000
  • George Springer +5000

In last year’s shortened season, Trea Turner of the Washington Nationals led the league in hits with 78 over 60 games.

Turner is available for +1100, but many MLB bettors are considering the value of DJ LeMahieu at +1000. LeMehieu is set for a huge bounce back year in 2021, and this could be the best price available once the season begins.

Other top candidates include Jose Abreu of the Chicago White Sox, and Marcell Ozuna of the Atlanta Braves. Ozuna came in just one hit behind Turner in 2020 with 77 hits, with Abreu just behind him at 76.

With the loss of Eloy Jimenez, Abreu will be asked to carry the load even further on offense with Tim Anderson.

Speaking of the White Sox, they have one of the best candidates for AL Rookie Of The Year in Andrew Vaughn.

2021 American League Rookie Of The Year

  • Randy Arozarena +400
  • Jarred Kelenic +650
  • Andrew Vaughn +1000
  • Wander Franco+1200
  • Ryan Mountcastle +1200
  • Nate Pearson +1600
  • Casey Mize +2000
  • Triston McKenzie +2000
  • Alex Kiriloff +2000
  • Royce Lewis +2500
  • Brendan McKay +3000

Rookies who made their debut last year are up for the award again this year, but Vaughn at +1000 is one of the best deals on the MLB betting sites.

Vaughn is slated to slide into Jimenez's role now that the star has gone down due to injury. During Spring Training .289/.396/.489 over 53 at-bats, knocking two homers, a triple, a double, and seven walks to nine K’s.

In the National League, a couple of pitchers in Sixto Sanchez and Ian Anderson are the top choices among wise bettors.

2021 National League Rookie Of The Year

  • KeBryan Hayes +375
  • Sixto Sanchez +500
  • Ian Anderson +800
  • Dylan Carlson +800
  • Cristian Pache +1200
  • Joey Bart +2000
  • Ha-Seong Kim +2000

In seven games in 2020, Sanchez racked up 33 strikeouts with a 3.46 ERA and 1.21 WHIP. He also happens to have one of the fastest pitch consistencies in the game.

For Anderson, he recorded just seven earned runs in six games for a 1.95 ERA in 2020. While this was certainly a limited sample size, the future is bright for the young Atlanta Brave.

The online sportsbooks are also offering a set of player props for the upcoming season, including one for Josh Donaldson’s home run count.

Minnesota Twins - Josh Donaldson - 2021 Regular Season Total Home Runs

  • Over 27.5 -115
  • Under 27.5 -115

While Donaldson only hit six homers in 28 games last year, he is now poised to get back into the same fashion that saw him knock out 37 of them in 2019 with Atlanta.

Another prop to watch is the win total for the Chicago Cubs.

Chicago Cubs - 2021 Regular Season Wins

  • Over 79.5 -125
  • Under 79.5 -105

The Cubs have a strong hitting lineup, but easily have one of the weakest rotations in the entire National League following the departure of Yu Darvish to the San Diego Padres.

The under on this wager is the one to watch, as the Cubs will likely struggle to find consistency on the mound.

Speaking of the mound, few acquisitions were more hyped than that of Trevor Bauer heading to the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Los Angeles Dodgers - Trevor Bauer - 2021 Regular Season ERA

  • Over 2.99 -125
  • Under 2.99 -105

Despite posting a 1.73 in 2020, over two-thirds of Bauer’s starts came against sub-.500 teams in one of the worst divisions in baseball. Against a tough NL West schedule, many are taking over for Bauer’s ERA ahead of this season.
