Yesterday, my plays didn’t come through, but that usually means I find the right players the next day. I like all my plays, but today’s pitching props will be my core props around which to build parlays.
Record 34-37-1
Ozzie Albies, Braves OVER 6.5 Fantasy Points
Albies faces lefty Martin Perez, and Albies bats .330 lifetime vs. lefties. The Braves should get runners in position for Albies to get an RBI or two, and the Braves should have hitters that can knock him in. He reaches double-digit points today and sails over the 6.5 number.
Rafael Devers, Red Sox OVER 1.5 Total Bases
Devers has passed this number in 7 out of his last 10 games. Today, he faces SP Robert Gasser, who has given up 16 hits over his last two starts. There is a good chance Devers will put the ball in play and should be able to knock an extra-base hit in one of his 5 at bats.

Marco Luciano, Giants OVER 0.5 Hits
Luciano has a hit in 5 of the 8 games he has played. Mets lefty Sean Manaea isn’t dominant, and I think Luciano can at least bloop a single.
Kyle Bradish, Orioles OVER 5.5 Strikeouts
This will be Kyle’s fifth start, and I expect his pitch count to be approaching the high 80s to lower 90s. Rain cut his outing in his last appearance, where he struck out 6 over 5 innings. A full-strength Bradish should strike out at least 6 White Sox hitters.
Aaron Brooks, Athletics OVER 3 Strikeouts
I am taking any starting pitcher who isn’t on restrictions at this number. Brooks has thrown at least 84 pitches in both of his starts and has 8 strikeouts in 13 innings. He should at least punch out 3 for the push, but I think he gets us 4 for the win. This is my favorite prop of the day.

Jazz Chisholm Jr., Marlins OVER 0.5 Runs
The Marlins are in a good spot to score vs. SP Blake Walston. Chisholm, their best player, can lead off and cross the plate at least once.
Aaron Judge, Yankees OVER 1.5 Total Bases
I am playing Judge over this prop until further notice. He has been the best player on the planet over the past three weeks. Look at what he has done: hits in 16 of his last 17 games, not to mention 8 homers and 8 doubles during that span. He is simply locked in right now, going over all his props routinely.
