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.
Royce Lewis MORE than 1.5 Total Bases
Lewis is one of the best hitters in the league when healthy. Unfortunately, remaining healthy has been an issue for him in his career; however, when he is in the lineup, he bats in the three spot and does serious damage. Since returning from a two-month absence, Lewis has at least one hit in five of his six games and has three HR during that time. He has a good matchup tonight against a Rockies pitching staff that has a league-worst 5.32 ERA, 1.51 WHIP, and .281 BAA.
Aaron Judge MORE than 1.5 Total Bases
Judge had a well-deserved night off last night but will be back in the lineup tonight. After a slow start in April, Judge has been the best hitter in the American League since the beginning of May and has been an XBH machine. He has 24 HR, 21 doubles and is batting .305 with a monstrous 1.139 OPS. He has three straight multi-hit games, but because of his XBH ability, he needs just one hit tonight to win this prop.
Fernando Tatis Jr. MORE than 7 Fantasy Points
I played this prop last night at eight fantasy points and am going back to it now that it has dropped. Tatis Jr. has been on a tear at the dish. He has a 16-game hitting streak and at least one XBH in his five games. He can steal a base, draw a walk, score runs, drive them in, and record multiple hits on any given night. I like him to continue his hot hitting tonight against the A’s, who are one of the worst pitching staffs in MLB.
Jordan Hicks MORE than 4 Strikeouts
Hicks has been a pleasant surprise this season for the Giants. He is 4-2 with a 2.82 ERA and 1.19 WHIP in 67 innings. He hasn’t racked up gaudy strikeout numbers, but he has been consistent, posting at least four strikeouts in five of his past six starts and in each of his past three starts. The Astros don’t strike out much as a lineup, which is why this number is so low, however, the consistency from Hicks is enough to give me confidence tonight in this pick.
