At-a-glance: why these operators
We selected established North American sportsbooks with clearly documented MLB player-prop offerings and operational footprints in regulated U.S. states (DraftKings, FanDuel, BetMGM, Caesars, BetRivers and PointsBet). Each operator publishes MLB prop menus, editorial prop previews or app interfaces that surface batter-specific bets (home runs, total bases, RBIs, hits, strikeouts and inning-by-inning batter options) on a daily basis.

Important jurisdiction note for California readers
As of this article’s publication, the State of California does not license or operate retail or mobile online sportsbooks and there is no lawful, state-regulated online sportsbook service available to California residents inside state lines. Multiple authoritative trackers and state-coverage reports confirm California remains without a regulated online sports-betting market. (cbssports.com)
California also moved to close the sweepstakes dual-currency loophole and the state Attorney General issued a formal opinion regarding fantasy-style contests: Assembly Bill 831 targets online sweepstakes that mimic real-money gambling and became a focal legislative change, and the California Attorney General’s Opinion No. 23‑1001 (July 3, 2025) concluded that some daily-fantasy offerings raise legal issues under the state’s anti‑wagering statutes. Those developments materially limit the lawful in‑state options for Californians who want sportsbook-like batter props. If you live in California, do not assume you can open, deposit with, and legally wager on a U.S. regulated sportsbook from inside the state. (legiscan.com)
What Californians can and cannot do (summary)
- Cannot: Use a state-regulated in‑California sportsbook app for real‑money baseball betting — none are licensed statewide at this time. (cbssports.com)
- Limited: Daily Fantasy Sports (DFS) and sweepstakes-style offerings have been the traditional alternatives, but both have been restricted by the 2025 AG opinion and AB 831 changes; availability and legality are contested. (law.counselstack.com)
- Alternatives: California residents following batter-prop strategy can still (legally) consume statistical tools, use out‑of‑state travel to a regulated jurisdiction, or engage with lawful prediction markets where permitted — but those alternatives have different legal regimes and risks.
