Today's Taste - Best MLB PrizePicks Player Props (4/28/23)

Picking up a little steam this week with another cash on Wednesday with Sandy and Bo Bichette doing God’s work on the ballfield. I like to try and keep mixing things up with some different looks and players. Friday will feature two new guys I have not yet played out.

Byron Buxton OVER/UNDER 1.5 Hits+RBI’s+Runs

 

Byron Buxton is one of those players when he heats up, he can extend a hot streak. Coming off a big night where went 2-4 with a double and home run, Buxton might be coming into a heater. Over his last six games, Buxton has seven hits in his last 24 AB’s with two bombs, three RBI’s, and four runs scored. 

 

The Twins draw Jordan Lyles and the Royals. Lyles has been largely unimpressive this year with a 4.88 ERA and 1.18 WHIP. In his last four tries, he has surrendered 16 earned runs and 24 hits. Better yet, Lyles has allowed seven taters this season, something he is very well known for. Buxton being a career 3-9 against Lyles leads me to believe this is a favorable matchup for the Twins’ stud outfielder. In the first series of the season, he compiled a fantastic 6-13 mark with three runs scored.

 

There are three different ways this play can hit. Seeing how it’s only 1.5, it seems fairly feasible for Buxton to comfortably grab a couple hits or an RBI base knock. In the middle of heating up, I like this leg a lot.

Pablo Lopez OVER/UNDER 6 Strikeouts

 

From one Twin to another, Pablo Lopez is also set up nicely for a bounce back outing against a Kansas City team that is still in the middle of a rebuild. Before getting shelled in his last start against Washington (of all teams), Pablo was shoving. To this point in the year, he has tallied at least six K’s in every start, do we see that again today?

 

In Lopez’ first start of the year against KC, he went 5.1 scoreless, only allowing two hits and three walks, while punching out eight batters. Kansas City is near the top of the board in strikeouts thus far, ranking seventh (238) to go along with a 25.4 K rate (fifth worst). The 6-20 Royals have five different players that have logged at least 20 strikeouts, in addition to a few that have either 16 or 17. It’s not a team that puts the ball in play very often, so Pablo should be set up nicely to resume his early AL Cy Young bid.

 

This number seems a tad low to me. FanDuel has Lopez set at 6.5 K’s with DraftKings sitting at 5.5 with a -190 vig to the over. With DK likely heading for a 6.5 mark, grabbing Lopez for an even six is a valuable mark. 

 

Pick: Lopez 6+ K’s
