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: 44-49 -1
Yesterday’s 2-3 was disappointing, but I love the card today. Let’s go for a huge sweep.
Christopher Sanchez, Phillies OVER 4 Strikeouts
Sanchez has tremendous stuff, and if he pitches at least 5 innings, he will reach this number. Fresh off signing a 4-year contract extension, I think we get a sharp game from him here.
Ozzie Albies, Braves OVER 5.5 Fantasy Points
Albies is an automatic play vs. left-handed pitching. It makes more sense to play him over the fantasy points than total bases because 2 bases are over the fantasy points anyway. Also, playing the fantasy points prop allows for walks to enter the equation. My favorite prop on the board.
Reese Olson, Tigers OVER 5 Strikeouts
Olson averages a hair under a strikeout per inning. Today, he takes on the White Sox, who average under 3 runs per game, meaning that Olson should pitch 6-plus innings. Plus, the White Sox have swing-and-miss in their lineup, and they are teetering on being a top-10 lineup in strikeouts.
Jake Irvin, Nationals UNDER 5.5 Strikeouts
Irvin may have been figured out a bit. He hasn’t beaten this number in three straight starts. The Rockies are a different offense hitting at home, and there are no guarantees that Irvin pitches past 5. In fact, I think there is a chance he could head to the showers early.
