For the Wednesday MLB player props, the focus is on three standout hitters: Andrew Vaughn, Salvador Perez, and Manny Machado. These players are poised to make significant impacts in their respective games on July 30, 2025. The primary attention on Andrew Vaughn MLB player props highlights Vaughn’s recent surge and ability to sustain his productive streak in Milwaukee’s lineup.
The main player prop bets for this date include: Andrew Vaughn to exceed 1.5 combined hits, runs, and runs batted in (RBI) at -115 odds on Fanatics; Salvador Perez to surpass 1.5 total bases at +105 odds; and Manny Machado to go over 1.5 combined hits, runs, and RBIs at -130 odds on DraftKings.
Andrew Vaughn’s Strong Start with the Brewers Suggests Lasting Success
Drafted third overall by the White Sox in 2019, Andrew Vaughn was once seen as a cornerstone for Chicago’s future, but he struggled to consistently post strong offensive numbers, only hitting 20 home runs in a single season and failing to achieve an .800 OPS. However, his move to the Milwaukee Brewers appears to have revitalized his career.
Since joining the Brewers, Vaughn has excelled, batting an impressive .375 and accumulating 10 runs, four doubles, five home runs, 21 RBIs, and a 1.209 OPS over 15 games. He ranks just behind Kyle Schwarber in RBIs during this stretch. On Tuesday night, Vaughn displayed his offensive prowess by driving in six runs and going 3-for-4 with a grand slam, contributing heavily to Milwaukee’s victory.
The Brewers will face a Cubs pitching challenge as Shota Imanaga starts for Chicago. Despite being considered the Cubs’ ace, Imanaga performed poorly in his previous outing, surrendering 12 hits—including three home runs—and seven earned runs in three innings against the White Sox. He has struggled against right-handed hitters this season, allowing multiple extra-base hits and significant run production.
With a current five-game hitting streak and having surpassed the combined hits, runs, and RBIs prop line in four consecutive games, Vaughn’s trajectory suggests he is well positioned to continue this success Wednesday.
Salvador Perez Anchors the Royals with Consistent Offensive Production
Although the Kansas City Royals have remained under the radar, they remain competitive and close to a playoff position despite being two games below .500. The team is doubling down on its core talent, signing Seth Lugo for an extension and acquiring Randal Grichuk as a trade deadline addition.
Salvador Perez, the team’s veteran All-Star catcher, has been crucial to the Royals’ efforts this season. He is hitting .341 in July, with a notable .386 on-base percentage and .741 slugging percentage, backed by seven doubles, nine home runs, and 20 RBIs. His 18 home runs tie him for the team lead, and he may add another to his total during Wednesday’s game.
Perez has found success against left-hander Joey Wentz, going 4-for-8 with a double and a home run. Wentz, now with his fourth team in two years, carries a 5.59 career ERA and has struggled by giving up 11 extra-base hits and a .868 OPS to right-handed hitters this year, which bodes well for Perez achieving his total bases prop line. Perez has accomplished this feat in 13 of his past 21 games and is listed at +370 odds for a home run on DraftKings and Fanatics.
Manny Machado’s Clutch Performance Fuels Expectation for Another Strong Showing
San Diego Padres’ star Manny Machado continues to deliver in critical moments. In the latest game, after starting 0-for-3, Machado seized the opportunity to change the game’s momentum with a three-run home run during a five-run seventh inning, securing a 7-1 win over the Mets.
Machado has established himself as one of the franchise’s most consistent power hitters, becoming the first Padre with six seasons of 20 or more home runs and joining an elite group of six active players with at least ten seasons hitting 20+ homers.
This July, Machado is hitting .330 with 12 runs scored, seven doubles, seven home runs, 22 RBIs, and a 1.015 OPS. He has been even more dominant recently, batting .552 with a staggering 1.491 OPS across a seven-game hitting streak. During these games, Machado has recorded at least two combined hits, runs, and RBIs every time, averaging 4.1 per outing.
Machado faces Clay Holmes, who is making his first full season as a starter. Despite a solid campaign, Holmes has shown reverse splits, allowing right-handed hitters to bat .251 compared to .227 for left-handed batters. Machado has a 1-for-2 record against Holmes so far and appears well positioned to continue his hot streak.
What This Means for Wednesday’s MLB Player Prop Bets
The betting outlook for Andrew Vaughn MLB player props appears promising given his recent offensive explosion with the Brewers. Vaughn’s demonstrated ability to drive in runs and collect hits makes him a valuable pick to extend his streak in this must-watch midweek matchup versus the Cubs.
Salvador Perez is riding a wave of consistency that keeps the Royals competitive, with prop bets on his total bases holding strong due to his success against the opposing pitcher. Likewise, Manny Machado’s streak and clutch potential provide confidence for his player props hitting the required thresholds.
These performances and strategic matchups suggest that wagering on these player props could be rewarding on July 30, reflecting not just recent statistics but also momentum and opponent vulnerabilities. Fans and bettors should closely monitor these key players as they look to influence the outcomes and scoreboards in today’s MLB action.
