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.
Anthony Volpe MORE than 0.5 Runs
Volpe has scored at least one run in five straight games and has scored multiple runs in two of those games. He is riding a 19-game hitting streak, and as long as he continues to get on base, he is always a threat to score because of his ability to steal bases and because he bats in front of Juan Soto and Aaron Judge. He faces the Angels tonight, who have the 3rd worst team ERA in MLB, and their starter, Griffin Canning, has an ERA over 5.00.
Mookie Betts MORE than 5.5 Fantasy Points
I wanted to play this pop yesterday, but the game was postponed. So now we can play it today! It can be played in the first game of the doubleheader today. I really don’t understand how this number is so low. The Dodgers have been struggling a bit offensively lately. However, it’s because they aren’t getting production from the bottom of their lineup. It has nothing to do with Betts, Ohtani or Freeman. In fact, Betts is having an amazing season, batting .335 with a .431 OBP, eight HR, 41 runs, 30 RBI, and nine SB. His fantasy points total should never be this low, no matter who he is facing on the mound, so we should be taking advantage of this tonight.
Elly De La Cruz MORE than 0.5 Runs
Elly is one of the most dynamic players in MLB. He has big-time power and can drive himself in, but he also has elite speed and can steal multiple bases. A walk or a single is all he needs because, with his speed, he puts himself on 2B or 3B, and someone drives him in. He faces SP Kyle Gibson tonight, who has been better as of late. However, he doesn’t get many swings and misses, and Elly should be able to put the bat on the ball tonight in his four or maybe even five at-bats.
Bo Bichette MORE than 6 Fantasy Points
Bo had a really slow start to the season and his overall numbers don’t look good because of it. He is one of the top 20 hitters in MLB, though, and lately, he is showing signs of life at the plate. He has five multi-hit games in his past eight, and he is collecting a ton of XBH as well. Last night, I played this prop at 6.5 points, and Bo hit a HR to give us the win. While he remains this hot at the plate, he should be played, especially in a great matchup against a White Sox team that has the second-worst team ERA in MLB and a SP in Mike Clevinger, who has a 6.75 ERA and 1.88 WHIP.
