This Weeks Record: 7-6-1
Last Weeks Record: 10-6-1
Past Seven Weeks Record: 66-49-6
Matt Olson MORE than 6.5 Fantasy Points
Olson and the Braves make the trip to Coors Field tonight, so he immediately caught my attention when I was looking through the props. Despite a down season for Olson, he has been much better lately and I look for that to continue tonight against Rockies SP Tanner Gordon. Gordon is 0-3 this season with a 6.75 ERA and 1.36 WHIP. Those numbers are bad, considering that he has only made one of his four appearances this season in Coors. He has allowed six HR in 21.1 innings this year.
Aaron Judge MORE than 9.5 Fantasy Points
The AL MVP front-runner went hitless last night. That’s noteworthy because Judge has gone hitless in back-to-back games only one time since the all-star break, so chances are, tonight he will be back to doing “Judgian Things”. He will face Rangers starter Cody Bradford, who has solid numbers this season with a 3.96 ERA and 0.92 WHIP, but Bradford hasn’t been good lately. In his past two starts, he has allowed eight ER and three HR in just 5.2 innings.
Vladimir Guerrero Jr. MORE than 1.5 Total Bases
No one is hotter at the plate right now than Vlad Jr. He is currently on a 20-game hitting streak, and in his past nine games, he has 12 XBH. He needs just one XBH tonight to win this prop for us, and even if he doesn’t get an XBH, there’s always the possibility that he records multiple hits instead. During the hitting streak, Vlad has nine multi-hit games. He has a good matchup tonight as well, taking on Mitch Spence and the A’s. Spence has a 4.40 ERA and 1.31 WHIP this season. The A’s pitching staff overall ranks in the bottom third of the league in ERA, WHIP, K/9, and BAA.
Martin Perez MORE than 4 Strikeouts
Perez is not thought of as a strikeout pitcher. He has just 70 in 89 innings this season; however, in three of his past four starts, he has struck out four or more batters. In his most recent start, he matched his season high for strikeouts in a game, as he K’d seven Rockies. He should be able to have that same type of success tonight in a matchup against the Miami Marlins, who are one of the worst offenses in MLB. The Marlins rank 29th in runs per game, OBP and SLG.
