Today's Taste - Best MLB PrizePicks Player Props (5/1/23)

Didn’t end the weekend strong. A complete dud by Joey Gallo and another strong outing from Josiah Gray results in a loss. That was yesterday, this is today. It’s a new week, and another opportunity to get back in the win column. Check out who I’m stacking today for a rebound.

Bo Bichette OVER/UNDER 1.5 Total Bases

 

Bo Bichette has gotten off to a strong start in 2023, unlike last year. Through April, the stud show stopper is batting a robust .317 with a strong .863 OPS. He’s been a catalyst for the 18-10 Toronto Blue Jays. In the start of a brand new series against the flailing Boston Red Sox, Bo is primed for a big night.

 

The Jays will see the once upon a time star pitcher, Corey Kluber. While Kluber is still in the show, the guy is definitely on his way out, as he looks nothing like the guy that claimed several Cy Young awards. Showing a brutal 6.75 ERA and 1.33 WHIP, this is a butter matchup for Bichette and the Jays offense. Lifetime against Klubot, the Jays shortstop is five for 11 with two extra base hits. Seeing how Bo is heating up again, this seems like a good spot to take him notching at least two bases.

 

Kluber has been a disaster at home this year with his 8.78 ERA and .273 OBA, to go along with five homers allowed. This is an outing where I can see Toronto hang a crooked number early enroute to a big win.

Rafael Devers OVER/UNDER 1.5 Total Bases

 

Staying in the same game, let’s flip sides real quick. Rafael Devers has not been great to begin the campaign. Batting only .232, he’s relied on the long ball to count for his production. Devers and the rest of the lineup will see Jose Berrios, a pitcher who has started to come around in his last few outings.

 

Aside from Raffy Taters struggles at the plate, going two for his last 18, he has not fared well against Berrios during his career. Going four for 23 lifetime is hardly an encouraging sign in the middle of a slide for Devers. The four hits did come via the long ball and three doubles. However, the inconsistency is not enough for me to say he will pop off tonight. 

 

Berrios has been locking it down as of late. Only allowing two runs and seven hits over his last 14 innings across two starts, Toronto might have finally found what they were looking for when they made the move to acquire the former Twin. I’m a huge fan of Devers, but I think in this matchup it’s more prudent if I take under the mark of 1.5 total bases.
