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.
Record 38-46-1
Jesus Luzardo, Marlins UNDER 5 Strikeouts
Luzardo hasn’t accomplished this feat in a month. He faces a Nationals team that doesn’t strike out much and puts the ball in play. The last time a starter had more than 5 strikeouts vs. Washington was back on June 7, and that was ace Chris Sale. Play the odds here and expect Luzardo to not make it past 5 innings.
Corbin Carroll, Diamondbacks OVER 5.5 Fantasy Points
Carroll has done this in 3 straight games and 5 of his last 6. He is hitting much better, and we are getting at least a run discount due to his slow start. He faces a rookie and a bad White Sox bullpen, so he should find ways to get on base and score.
Kyle Harrison, Giants OVER 4.5 Strikeouts
Update: Harrison placed on the 15-day IL with an ankle sprain.
Harrison has surpassed this number in 9 of his past 14 starts, including 3 of his last 4. If he can get through 5 innings, I think he will get this number, as the Angels have some swing-and-miss in their lineup.
Luke Raley, Mariners OVER 0.5 Hits
Raley has hits in 3 of the last 4 games he has started. He faces SP Dane Dunning, who often struggles on the road. Look for a solid line drive base hit today.
Aaron Judge, Yankees OVER 1.5 Total Bases
Judge is an automatic play with this prop. He has at least 2 total bases in 12 of his last 15 games and has been the most dominant hitter over the past month. Look for him to shine in Prime Time at Fenway.
