At RTSports, there is an amazing daily fantasy pick’em game where you can choose different props for a chance to win money! Pick at least two props, select “more” or “less” on each prop, submit the picks, and you’re good to go! Below, you will find my favorite props/picks for today/tonight’s slate of games.
This week’s record: 10-4
Luis Robert MORE than 1.5 Total Bases
Robert missed two months of the season, but since returning, he has been playing at an elite level. He is one of the more dynamic players in the league despite playing for the worst team in MLB right now. In his nine games since being activated from the IL, Robert has hit five HR, and tonight, he gets a good matchup against DBacks SP Ryne Nelson, who has a 5.96 ERA and 1.66 WHIP this season.
Royce Lewis MORE than 8 Fantasy Points
Lewis has been on a tear at the plate since returning from injury. He is riding a six game hitting streak that also includes four XBH and five hits total in his past two games. When healthy, Lewis is one of the top hitters in the league, and tonight, he faces Mitch Spence and the A’s. The A’s rank in the bottom third of the league in every major pitching category, so Lewis and other Twins hitters should be in for a good night.
Mookie Betts MORE than 0.5 Runs
Mookie is a star, one of the best players in MLB and the fact that he bats lead off for one of the best lineups in baseball makes this a good prop anytime you can find it. Batting directly in front of Shohei Ohtani and Freddie Freeman leads to plenty of runs scored for Mookie, and I am expecting him to score one tonight, even in a tough matchup vs. Royals SP Cole Ragans. Another factor to consider is that Mookie hits for power; he can hit an HR and drive himself in here with no help from anyone else in the line.
Matt Waldron MORE than 4 Strikeouts
Waldron has been pitching great lately, allowing two ER or less in his past six starts. He has also struck out at least four batters in each of his past six starts, including a 10-strikeout game against the Braves. The Mets lineup is very inconsistent; they have a ton of swing-and-miss, so I love Waldron tonight to suprass four strikeouts and win us this prop.
