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: 6-1
Juan Soto MORE than 0.5 Runs
Soto is atop the league leaders in OBP this season, and it has led to him scoring a lot of runs, especially hitting in front of Aaron Judge in the Yankees lineup. Over his past four games, Soto has scored six runs, and in his past nine games, he has scored 12 runs. The Yankees lineup has hit well in this current series vs. the Royals, and they have a good matchup tonight against Dan Altavilla and the Royals bullpen.
Gunnar Henderson MORE than 7 Fantasy Points
Henderson is having an MVP-caliber season and has been extra hot at the dish lately, with six hits in his past three games, including two doubles, two HR, seven runs, and two walks. He has a great matchup tonight against Braves rookie Spencer Schwellenbach, who has an 8.38 ERA and 1.45 WHIP in his first two starts.
Chris Bassitt MORE than 5.5 Strikeouts
Bassitt has at least seven strikeouts in his past three starts, which is his best stretch of the season. Although his opponents were all much weaker lineups than what he will face tonight against the Brewers, Bassitt goes deeper into games than many pitchers do, and it allows for him to rack up more strikeouts in the process.
Javier Assad MORE than 5 Strikeouts
Assad has at least seven strikeouts in each of his past three starts and in four of his past five starts. Tonight, he faces the Rays, who have struggled offensively for most of the season, and they have a lot of swing-and-miss in their lineup. Although he may not reach the seven or more number tonight, he should have no problem reaching five or more and winning us this prop.
