MLB Prop Picks for 5/16- Bauer, Wheeler and More

Clayton Richer 6 years ago

written by Clayton Richer

There are 10 games on the MLB slate and plenty of profitable Prop Picks to be had at Monkey Knife Fight. Yesterday, we were a measly strikeout away from a perfect score in our prop predictions. Here are today’s prop picks.

Trevor Bauer- Cleveland Indians- Over 7.5 Strikeouts versus the Baltimore Orioles

Trevor Bauer will face the lowly Baltimore Orioles and is a good play to secure over 7.5 strikeouts. Bauer is averaging 10.9 strikeouts per nine innings over his first nine starts and has the sixth most Ks of any hurler in the Majors this season.

The 28-year old has fanned eight or more batters in six of his starts and punched out 10 Athletics in his last outing. The Orioles are no stranger to the strikeout, having whiffed 8.9 times per game in 2019.

The Indians are the heavy favorite to win the ballgame and Bauer should easily eclipse the “Over” on this one, especially if Chris Davis is in the lineup.

Zack Wheeler- New York Mets- Over 6.5 Strikeouts versus the Washington Nationals

Zack Wheeler has been a strikeout machine of late, punching out 10 or more in three of his last four starts including 11 Ks in his last trip to the bump versus the Miami Marlins.

Wheeler will be opposite the Washington Nationals, who have a propensity for the swing and miss this season. The Nationals and their lackluster offense are ranked fourth in the Majors in strikeouts as a team, averaging 9.8 K’s a game.

Take the “Over” on this one and plan for Wheeler to drive all over the Nationals on his way to another double-digit K performance.

Spencer Turnbull- Detroit Tigers- Over 4.5 Strikeouts versus the Oakland Athletics

Last but not least is Spence Turnbull, as the hurler is quietly putting together a quality campaign for the docile Tigers. Turnbull currently sports a respectable 2.42 Earned Run Average while averaging 8.9 Ks per nine innings in eight starts thus far.

The 26-year old has fanned five or more in six of his eight starts and has a season-high 10 strikeouts versus the Royals. Turnbull will attempt to continue his impressive run versus the Oakland Athletics, who generally make decent contact as a team with the exception of Ramon Laureano, who has struck out 49 times in 43 games this season.

If Turnbull can get Laureano twice, it should be smooth sailing to the “Over” on this one, which surprisingly isn’t set around the 5.5 mark.

The King’s Royal Pitching Tips for 5/15 – Cash in DFS Minor

Scott Engel 6 years ago

written by Scott Engel

You might consider using J.A. Happ against the Orioles in the early games, but putting him out there at home is a risky play. He has been bad at Yankee Stadium so far this year, with a 6.12 ERA and seven of his nine HRs allowed at home. He may be widely used, so you might want to veer away from the crowd.

Zack Greinkeis the chalk play on the early slate against Pittsburgh, but if you areavoiding Happ on the early slate you will have to spend the $10,200 to get him. The only other respectable choice isChris Archer at $8,400. Arizona is 11^th in strikeouts so there issome hope for production there. He is less expensive than Happ.

This is the third time Patrick Corbin is facing the Mets and he has a 3.75 ERA and 13 Ks in 12 IPs against them. He is at $10,000 on DK. He is not a lock, though, as the Mets have started to hit better recently and are seeing him yet again after two earlier matchups.

EduardoRodriguez ($8200) is a very strong play at home against Colorado, as he isstarting to sustain momentum. He has allowed only two earned runs in his lasttwo starts and has at least six strikeouts in five of his last six outings.

Mike Sorokais a must start no matter who he faces.The Cardinals have a formidable offense, but Soroka can shut the lights out onanyone right now. At $8800 he is a definite start for me regardless of opposition. He has a 1.64 home ERA and a 1.90 ERA in nightgames. I will use him in tournaments as some will avoid him due to the matchup.

Mike Minorseems quite chalky at $9400 at Kansas City. Yesterday I was recommending aRoyals stack, but today I am certainly going to target them with pitching. TheSoroka/Minor duo may be the way to go with two pitchers on DraftKings. Minorhas a good shot for a victory as the Rangers offense will tee off on JorgeLopez. If you are feeling a bit uncomfortable about Soroka’s matchup you canpair Minor with E-Rod. In night games,Minor has a 1.84 ERA with 50 Ks in 49 IP. Minor is a strong cash game play.

Kenta Maeda($9200) faces the Padres, who are 19^th in road hitting. Maeda is 3-0with a 1.86 ERA at home and should adjust after allowing four runs in sixinnings to San Diego in their first meeting of 2019.

The King’s Royal DFS Tips For Tuesday – Mondesi a Must Play Among Hitters

Scott Engel 6 years ago

written by Scott Engel

I will be running several Mets hitters out there tonightagainst Jeremy Hellickson. On the road, Jeff McNeil is hitting .380 with 10runs scored, Peter Alonso is at .291 with six homers, 16 RBI and 14 runs scoredwith eight walks. Robinson Cano is hitting .310 with three HRs and 13 runsscored in away games. If J.D. Davis gets in the lineup he is hitting .295 witheight runs scored and seven walks against RHPs.

You never know what version of Mike Foltynewicz you aregoing to get, so I will not hesitate to attack him. Kolten Wong is hitting .333with 12 RBI and 10 runs scored away from home. Dexter Fowler has nine RBI andseven runs scored in 15 road games.

I am also recommending several Royals tonight vs. Shelby Miller. Alex Gordon is hitting .319 with 15 RBI and 19 runs scored in home games. Hunter Dozier is hitting .316 with 10 RBI and 12 runs scored at home. Adalberto Mondesi is the play of the night, as he is hitting .315 with 18 RBI, 15 runs scored and 11 steals in home games.

I will also get in at least one or two Boston bats againstKyle Freeland and I don’t care about platoon splits when I do. Rafael Devers ishitting .429 with 14 RBI and 12 runs scored in home games. Xander Bogaerts is hitting.326 with 15 runs scored and 19 RBI at home.

From pitching perspectives, do not hesitate to use NoahSyndergaard when you consider Washington is third in MLB in strikeouts.

Be daring to go for Jared Eickhoff on DraftKings at $9200. The Brewers lead the National League in strikeouts.

Wade Miley is a great salary saver at $7900. His XFIP is 4.42 but his 3.18 ERA won’t rise against Detroit.

Before you pencil in Caleb Smith, consider the Rays strikeout the second least amount of times in the American League.

MLB Prop Picks 5/13- Kang, Hess and More

Clayton Richer 6 years ago

written by Clayton Richer

It is a light day around the Majors with only seven games on the slate. Regardless of the schedule, here are three MLB Prop Picks from Monkey Knife Fight to help get your week started on the right foot.

Jung Ho Kang- Pittsburgh Pirates- Under 1.5 Total Bases versus Arizona Diamondbacks

Jung Ho Kang has failed to sustain any type of offensive attack with the stick this season. Kang is slashing a putrid .133/.204/.300 with four homers in 98 plate appearances.

Kang will face D-backs hurler Robbie Ray and it is unlikely the results will favor the Pirates third baseman. Ray is striking out hitters at an 11.3 K per nine inning clip and Kang has fanned in nearly one-third of his trips to the plate this season.

Kang has not registered a hit since April 26th and is a safe pick for the under in today’s play. Take the under and let the Arizona pitcher be your Monday prop pick “Ray” of sunshine.

David Hess- Baltimore Orioles- Under 3.5 Strikeouts versus New York Yankees

Initially, on its face, this seemed like a low total for David Hess, who is averaging 7.1 strikeouts per nine innings this year. However, the Yankees have already faced Hess this season and shelled him for three homers in five innings of work. The Orioles hurler only managed two strikeouts before hitting the showers on that occasion.

Hess also has five starts where he has struck out three batters or less this season, although he is fresh off a five-strikeout affair versus the Red Sox. The Yankees are hitting their stride, having won seven of their last 10 and sit just a half game out of first place in the American League East.

Put your faith in the Bronx Bombers in this one and plan for Hess to get chased before his strikeout total eclipses the over.

Jose Berrios- Minnesota Twins- Under 5.5 Strikeouts versus Los Angeles Angels

In three of his last four starts Twins ace, Jose Berrios has surprisingly fanned just five hitters. Today, Berrios faces Mike Trout and his Angels contingent, who actually lead the Majors with the fewest strikeouts.

The Angels have struck out just 236 times this season, which equates to just 5.9 times a game. Coupled with Berrios’ recent drop in strikeouts, this makes the under a strong prop play.

Don’t get me wrong, the Twins will win the contest, but you can also win with the under on this one.

Pitching and Monkey Knife Fight Picks for 5/12 – God Of Thunder and DFS

Mark Paquette 6 years ago

written by Mark Paquette

Sunday Funday! A huge slate awaits us today. Potential weather issues are limited to Baltimore and even there, it does not look like a cancelled game.

Top Tier Arms

Noah Syndergaard, Marlins at Mets ($10,600 FD, $10,400 DK): This pick seems safe for cash. Going through my pitching checklist: pitching in a park that favors pitching: yes (in 2018 Citi Field was the 22nd easiest park to hit home runs in). Going against a team that lacks any kind of consistent, offensive threat: yes (the Marlins are dead last in ISO with a pathetic .088 ISO vs. righties so far this season). Great talent on the mound: yes. Though his last start on the road in San Diego wasn’t exactly what DFS’ers were hoping for, we can go back to his last appearance at home and envision what could be today: a complete game shutout with 10 strikeouts. He walloped a home run to provide all the offense in a 1-0 victory over the Reds his last time out.

Blake Snell, Yankees at Rays ($10,300 FD, $ 10,700 DK): Originally scheduled to pitch yesterday, he was pushed back to gain another day of rest. A GPP only pick here, Snell is coming off a simply phenomenal start at home vs. the Diamondbacks: six innings of one-hit ball with no walks and nine strikeouts. It should be noted that this was the Diamondbacks first game after a weekend series in Coors. There is a philosophy out there that it takes a team at least a game or two to adjust after leaving Coors and their bats often look longingly to the next time to return to Coors. If we look at Arizona in those first two games in Tampa, they struggled to the tune of nine hits in 63 ABs, only two doubles, no home runs, 21 strikeouts and only four runs scored. So is Snell back to his Cy Young days of 2018? Or was it a case of Arizona not being able to hit even if a Little Leaguer was throwing? I think it is somewhat a combination of both. The Yankees struggles against lefties (22nd ranked ISO of .136 and 20th ranked wOBA of .302) should not hurt Snell’s chances of pitching a good game in this spot.

Middle Tier Options

Martin Perez, Tigers at Twins ($9,100 FD, $8,500 DK): Another pitcher who was pushed back a day, this veteran lefty is averaging nearly 95 mph on his four-seam fastball. Perez is one of several veteran pitchers than are enjoying 2019 so far (Mike Minor is another name that comes to mind). The Tigers are not a good baseball team and their bats lack pop and they strike out a lot against lefties: a .159 ISO and sixth highest K rate of 27.6% back that up. A cool day with temperatures in the 50s means the ball will not carry well, further helping Perez’s chances of throwing a good game. On the road, the Tigers have both the 23rd ranked .139 ISO and wOBA at .291. We are getting to the point where Perez is a cash option.

Griffin Canning, Angels at Orioles ($7,300 FD, $8,300 DK): Canning has been solid in his first two career starts: a combined 9.2 innings pitched, eight hits allowed, five earned runs and a 13:2 K to BB ratio. In his last start in Detroit, his fantastic slider was on display. He has thrown that pitch 35.7% of the time so far and it has a dramatic tailing action to it that makes righties swing and miss. I like Canning to continue to get the bugs out at the Major League level against an Orioles team that struggles against righties (a 22nd ranked ISO of .159 and a 23rd ranked wOBA of .296 should not scare anyone). Some rain is expected here and a strong hitter’s park are two factors that probably limit this pick to GPP only.

Bargain Basement Picks

Tyler Mahle, Reds at Giants ($7,800 FD, $7,800 DK): Mahle has been quietly very good his last two stats: a combined 11 innings pitched with only seven hits allowed, two earned runs against (one each game) and a K/BB ratio of 15:1 against the Mets and Athletics, both on the road. Wait a minute you might say here, both the Athletics and Mets home parks are great for pitchers, could that have played a role in his pair of good starts? Certainly. Luckily, he is pitching today in the absolute best pitching park in all of baseball! And, of course, it does not hurt that the Giants are just not a good offensive team, their ranks against righties are 25th in wOBA at .291 and 21st in ISO at .161. They also strike out a rather high 23.7% of the time against righties. That could help Mahle keep the sparkling K:BB ratio up. I would not be opposed as him as your cash pitcher to be able to afford some great bats.

Monkey Knife Fight Pick: Noah Syndergaard Over 6.5 Strikeouts: I explained above why I like Thor in this spot. Asking seven strikeouts out of him does not seem like too much.

Hitting Picks and Stacks for 5/11 – Dare to Try Detroit

Lahius Leverette 6 years ago

written by Lahius Leverette

Welcome to the Saturday MLB slate here at Win Daily DFS. Today wewill be covering a few of my favorite hitters, going position by position, andthen we will end with two of my favorite stacks for the day. Let’s do it:

Catcher

Mitch Garver, MIN vs. DET (DK:$4,800 FD: $3,100)

The way that I seeit, there are two ways to handle the catcher position on DraftKings. You eitherpay way down and punt it, or you pay way up and get a stud catcher like Garver.If we have the salary on a particular slate, obviously the preferred option isto pay up and that is likely the route that I take on Saturday. Garver’s priceon FanDuel is criminally low, which is a direct result of the fact that we arenot forced to roster a catcher on FD.

First Base

Christian Walker, ARI vs. ATL (DK: $4,500 FD: $3,800)

The Diamondbacks head to Atlanta to take on Kevin Gascan, excuseme Gausman, and the Braves Saturday night. Gausman’s ERA of five is one of thehigher figures on the slate, and he is letting up walks and long balls at aconcerning rate so far this season. Walker is having a surprisingly solid startto the year, hitting for .295 along with seven homers and 16 RBI. His price is asmall step below some of the other elite batters on the slate, and he is anelite play.

Second Base

Robinson Cano, NYM @ MIA (DK:$3,800 FD: $2,900)

Second base is usually not the flashiest position day in and dayout, so why not try to save a little salary cap and roster Cano? He will beswinging against Sandy Alcantara, who has an ERA approaching five on theseason. Sandy has a sky-high 1.62 WHIP, which means that we can probably expecthis ERA to bump up over five sometime soon. Not to mention, he is averagingover a walk per inning and Cano will have the platoon advantage batting thirdin this Mets lineup.

Third Base

Nolan Arenado, COL vs. SDP (DK:$5,800 FD: $5,000)

This play will costus a pretty penny, but Arenado facing off against a lefty in Coors Field isjust too tough to pass on. When a guy is priced up with some of the cheappitchers on a slate, you know that he must be in a great spot. If we can affordArenado in Coors against a lefty, do not second guess it, just pull the trigger.The lefty happens to have a five ERA to pair with Arenado’s .322 average, 10homers, and 30 RBI, so we have ourselves an elite play.

Shortstop

Jorge Polanco, MIN vs. DET (DK:$5,300 FD: $4,100)

Another Twinworth taking a close look at for Saturday is Jorge Polanco, especially on FanDuel.Polanco is priced a full $1,200 cheaper on FD than he is on DK for the slatetoday, making him an elite play in all formats. I already mentioned my love forthis Twins offense, which has been clicking on all cylinders lately with aplethora of hitters that boast high fly ball rates. These guys love to hit theball out of the park, and even if Polanco does not go yard against the Detroitstarter, his stellar .344 average will ensure that he is on base when one ofhis teammates do so.

Outfielders

Josh Reddick, HOU vs. TEX (DK:$3,700 FD: $2,800)

Looking for some value in the outfield is always tricky with allof the high-priced studs that this position offers, but Josh Reddick fits thebill. Priced just under $4K on DK and $3K on FanDuel, Reddick will be lickinghis chops to get a piece of Drew Smyly and his sparkling 6.63 ERA. Reddick willhave the platoon advantage in this matchup and if he makes the lineup, he is agood bet to reach base with his .336 average.

Nicholas Castellanos, DET @ MIN (DK: $4,200 FD: $3,300)

Castellanos and the Tigers get to face off against a Triple A pitcherthat is being called up to make a spot start. Time and time again we see thesescenarios work out in favor of the hitters and not the pitcher. Kohl Stewart isa pitcher that I will be targeting heavily Saturday. Stewart’s last spot startinvolved five runs in just six innings of work and I can see his second startgoing similarly. The Tigers are never a team that we can fully trust, but ifthey start to fly under the radar we can stack batters from both sides of theplate from this squad.

Jeff McNeil, NYM vs. MIA (DK:$4,500 FD: $3,200)

McNeil is one of afew strong lefties that the Mets have to throw against right-handed pitchersthat struggle against lefties. He has a solid OBP that he should be able to useto his advantage against Alcantara and his troublesome WHIP. Whenever the Metsare facing a righty, we can look to their lefties and Saturday is no different.

Best Teams to Stack

Detroit Tigers – As you can see from myhitting picks above, I definitely showed my hand when it comes to my twostacking picks. Whenever there is a Triple A call-up making a spot start on aslate we should take a look at the hitters that he is facing and if they arepriced reasonably, we should target them with confidence. The Tigers are neveran overly expensive stack, but with that comes the potential for them to put upa dud. The Tigers are also one of those teams that tends to go unnoticed and ifwe can get them at low ownership against Kohl Stewart then we should absolutelyfire them up.
New York Mets – The Mets are heavily onmy radar for this slate, particularly the lefties. Between McNeil, Cano,Conforto, and Nimmo, the Mets have no shortage of solid lefties to throw at Alcantara.On top of the major platoon splits, the Mets are another team that will notbreak the bank and never tend to garner the chalkiest ownership of the slate.Play the Mets lefties with confidence Saturday.

MLB Prop Picks 5/11- Alcantara, Trout and More

Clayton Richer 6 years ago

written by Clayton Richer

So we are 4-2 this week on our prop picks and perfect when focusing on pitching props. Here are three MLB Prop Plays that could pay dividends on Monkey Knife Fight today.

Sandy Alcantara- Miami Marlins- Over 4.5 Strikeouts versus the New York Mets

Sandy Alcantara will be opposite Jacob deGrom on the bump today in what should be a strikeout-laden affair on both sides of the diamond. The Mets have a propensity for the strikeout, fanning 379 times, which ranks them with the third most in the majors.

The Marlins hurler sports a 6.3 strikeout per nine clip in seven starts this season. Alcantara has fanned five or more batters on four occasions this season and is coming off a five-strikeout performance versus the Cubs, who aren’t generally susceptible to the whiff.

Take the over as it should be a rough day for the hitters at Citi Field.

Rick Porcello- Boston Red Sox- Over 5.5 Strikeouts versus the Seattle Mariners

The Mariners hit homers and strike out as a team in bunches, hence why they lead the Majors in both categories heading into this contest versus Rick Porcello and the defending World Series champs.

Porcello will eclipse the 5.5 strikeout line if he can avoid hitting the shower early in this one. If Porcello turns in a quality start, then he will undoubtedly fan his share of Mariners.

The veteran owns an inflated 5.11 Earned Run Average, however, he has been better of late, allowing three runs or less in each of his last five starts. Porcello has also fanned 15 in his last two outings combined and sports an 8.5 strikeout per nine rate thus far this season.

Take the over as Porcello will be dealing this afternoon.

Mike Trout- Los Angeles Angels- Over 1.5 Hits/Walks versus the Baltimore Orioles.

As is most, this is a favorable matchup for Mike Trout as he squares off against Orioles hurler Dylan Bundy. Trout is hitting .292 with eight home runs, including a big fly yesterday versus Dan Straily.

Dylan Bundy owns an inflated 5.30 Earned Run Average and although he did shut out the Tampa Bay Rays in his last outing. Trout has faced Bundy on six occasions with two of the outcomes ending up over the outfield wall.

Trout is also hitting .342 with five homers versus right-handed pitching and .381 during day games this season. In case your’e wondering, this contest begins at 4:05 pm EDT at Camden Yards.

Expect Trout to reach his limit versus Bundy, take the over

DFS Pitching Picks for 5/9 – Yu Better Use Darvish

Jared Contestabile 6 years ago

written by Jared Contestabile

On this Thursday we have two slates so I’m going to run down which two pitchers I like from each slate that I’m going to build my lineups around.

Early Only

Carlos Carrasco Vs Chicago White Sox – $10,200 DraftKings, $9,900 FanDuel

The White Sox are a team we LOVE to target, as they all strike out at ridiculous rates. They always have that potential to pop off and score eight , but at the same time they also could strike out 10 times and score zero. The White Sox are Top 10 in most strikeouts and in least walks. Carrasco has been way more efficient at home, especially with run prevention. We all know the potential he has with the strikeouts and he opens as a -210 favorite. I think on this short slate there is zero need to get cute and you just play him here in a great matchup.

Yu Darvish Vs Miami Marlins – $9,500 DraftKings, $8,700 FanDuel

This has been a team we have been targeting this whole series and season. The Miami Marlins are just really so bad and have zero bats we are ever scared of. Darvish had a rough outing his last time out against St. Louis, I see a major bounce back for him in this one. This is a game that could depend on weather. If the wind is blowing out I would completely avoid it. If the wind is blowing in he’s going to be an auto lock for me, even over Carrasco. Darvish has better strikeout numbers against righties at home (10.80 K/9) and that’s a huge plus because of the large amount of righties in the Marlins lineup.

Main

Mike Soroka @ Arizona Diamondbacks- $9,000 DraftKings, $9,800 FanDuel

This year so far Soroka has been completely dominant, holding a 1.14 ERA with a 3-1 record. The Diamondbacks do have a pretty decent offense, but sitting right outside of the Top 10 in strikeouts, they have a weakness. Soroka has had at lest six strikeouts in every start this year and that won’t change in this one. The main hitter I am concerned about here is David Peralta, but not really anyone else. Im also not worried about the new road series as the travel to Arizona isn’t too far from Los Angeles. Soroka will 100% be my SP1, as I don’t see many clear cut top arms here.

Patrick Corbin @ Los Angeles Dodgers – $9,200 DraftKings, $9,000 FanDuel

Patrick Corbin has had his struggles this year and I know no one likes attacking the Dodgers, but they aren’t amazing against lefties. This is also a product of the weak options on this slate. We get a stud pitcher here at a discount. He hasn’t been exceptional this year, but he could turn it around and strike out 10 in a heartbeat. Fried didn’t exactly work out as a GPP dart the other night, for some reason he got pulled insanely early. That won’t happen with Corbin as he has immense upside, the highest in the slate. I love him here.
Strong Consideration;
(Main) Wade Miley Vs Texas Rangers – $6,800 DraftKings, $7,100 FanDuel

MLB DFS Hitting Picks for 5/9 – Mariners State of Mind

Clayton Richer 6 years ago

written by Clayton Richer

The Thursday slate is small, the margin for error is less, the probability of hitting the right batters is higher. With that, let us get into the selections, focusing on FanDuel prices.

1B: Edwin Encarnacion ($3800) @ J.A. HAPP

The matchup is pretty, Encarnacion is on fire! The lefty is hanging his pitches, the ballpark is HR ready, Encarnacion hit a HR on Wednesday. There is really nothing bad pointing to this matchup, so roll with it.

2B: Rougned Odor ($2800) @ Wade Miley

When Odor is swinging his HR stick like this, it does not matter it is a lefty vs. lefty matchup. Odor has the tools to be a fantasy stud, and when he is hot you play him no matter what.

3B: Ryon Healy ($2800) @ J.A. Happ

This price is outdated for this matchup. Healy is playing for a future job when Kyle Seager returns, and this matchup should be what the doctor ordered to continue his BEAST season.

SS: Elvis Andrus ($4100) @ Wade Miley

The matchup is perfect. Even though Andrus will likely not steal off the lefty despite the two stolen bases yesterday, Andrus is too hot to ignore. The potential for a HR is possible, a multi-hit game seems guaranteed.

OF: Domingo Santana ($3700) @ J.A. Happ

Take the chance Santana will carry the momentum of his hot season into a matchup against Happ on Thursday. Santana hit 30 HRs when he got full-time starts with the Brewers, he is showing that potential to do it again. Matchups like these keep him going.

OF: Mitch Haniger ($3900) @ J.A. Happ

There is not a hotter hitter in the game right now. Haniger has a couple HRs over the last two days and hitting in that leadoff spot should lead to magic. Haniger is hitting too well to disappoint against the struggling Happ.

OF: Brett Gardner ($3700) vs. Mike Leake

Gardner could see a lot of RBI opportunities in this matchup. I like the potential and if you have the budget to make it happen, do it. Leake does not blow anything by hitters, Gardner plays very well at home and is capable of launching a big HR.

MONKEY KNIFE FIGHT PICK

Take the over on both of these players for Monkey Knife Fight on 5/8. Both players will be in potent lineups that will have the pitchers shaking in their boots all game. Take the upside!

MLB Prop Picks 5/9- Corbin, Bassitt and More

Clayton Richer 6 years ago

written by Clayton Richer

After going 2-1 yesterday, here are three new MLB Prop Plays on Monkey Knife Fight for a slower Thursday around the Majors.

Patrick Corbin- Washington Nationals- Over 5.5 Strikeouts versus the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Patrick Corbin is averaging 10.3 strikeouts per nine innings while fanning 50 batters in 43.2 innings of work thus far. The 29-year old has whiffed six or more hitters on six of his eight starts this season.

The Dodgers are ranked 20th in strikeouts as a team this year, fanning 306 times which is respectable, however, I have a feeling Corbin will raise his game for this start at Dodger Stadium in a Nationals uniform.

Corbin is being paid like a big game pitcher, so it’s time for the hurler to pitch like one. Take the over with some confidence.

Chris Bassitt- Oakland Athletics- Over 5.5 Strikeouts versus the Cincinnati Reds.

Once again, I like the over on this one as Chris Bassitt has been phenomenal in his first three starts of the season for the A’s. Bassitt sports a tidy 2.12 Earned Run Average while averaging 11.6 strikeouts per nine innings.

The 30-year old has fanned six or more on all three occasions he has toed the rubber his season. The hurler notched a season-high nine Ks versus the Blue Jays on April 28th.

Shockingly the Reds are in the middle of the pack in terms of strikeouts, ranking 17th in the Majors with 316. Look for Bassitt to dominate the lowly Reds while striking out the over on this prop play.

Alex Bregman- Houston Astros- Over 1.5 Hits/Walks versus the Texas Rangers

Alex Bregman has been on fire over the past seven games, hitting .310 with six homers. However, something will have to give when he battles Rangers southpaw Mike Minor.

Minor has been impressive of late, fanning 22 while only surrendering a lone run in his last two outings. Minor has already beaten the Astros once this season, during that meeting Bregman notched a single.

For his career, Bregman is batting .305 with 20 home runs in 458 plate appearances versus lefty pitching. The third baseman has been a homer machine of late and is a solid prop pick for the over today regardless of who is on the bump.
