We've got a full-day slate of Major League Baseball action set for today, with games as early as 1:10 PM EST all the way to 8:05 PM. 

That means there's an entire board full of player props waiting to be attacked, and there are plenty of big names toeing the slab in Wednesday's action. 

As first pitches draw near, here are three player props to consider when locking in your action tonight.

MLB Player Prop: Hunter Greene (CIN) Over 7.5 Strikeouts +110

The Cincinnati Reds flamethrower is one of the most fun pitchers to watch in all of baseball. His 100-mph fastball and wipeout slider make him a hitter's nightmare, too. 

Greene draws an intriguing matchup tonight against the Milwaukee Brewers, who find themselves in the middle of the pack in terms of team strikeouts.

As unlikely as it may sound, the Brewers did not draw Greene a single time last season. They did several times in 2022, but the Brewers have turned much of this team over since then.

 A lack of familiarity between pitcher and hitter tends to favor the pitcher, so look for the righty to have hitters off balance in this one.

MLB Player Prop: Chris Paddack (MIN) Over 4.5 Strikeouts -141

This might seem like an odd one, as Paddack struck out just two hitters in four innings in his season debut against the Brewers. 

Really, this is a fade of where the bottom half of the Los Angeles Dodgers' lineup currently finds itself. The Dodgers currently lead the league in strikeouts by a bunch, and after their big three of Betts, Freeman, and Ohtani, they're giving away a lot of non-competitive at-bats.

Once touted as a future star, Paddack is working his way back into the mix after a couple of disastrous seasons. The Twins righty needs to have a good season to get his career back on track, and look for him to take advantage of a struggling Dodger lineup to flip his narrative.

MLB Player Prop: Austin Gomber (COL) Under 15.5 Pitching Outs -159

One of the key pieces the Rockies acquired from the Cardinals when they sent franchise cornerstone Nolan Arenado to St. Louis, Gomber has had a hard time adjusting to the mile high lifestyle.

Pretty much every pitcher for the Rockies does, but Gomber pitched to a 7.05 ERA at home last season and averaged almost exactly 15 outs recorded in those outings. 

This matchup also comes at a bad time, as the Diamondbacks suffered a frustrating sweep at the hands of the Atlanta Braves the series prior, and a trip to the elevation is exactly what the doctor ordered for the Snakes' offense. 

The Rockies haven't taxed their bullpen too hard in the first two games of this series, so Gomber could have a quick hook if things aren't working for him.
