Hunter Greene OVER/UNDER 6 Strikeouts

 

It’s Greene Day! My guy, Hunter Greene, takes the mound this evening against a reeling Mets team. HG has actually looked pretty good overall during his last five starts. Despite the statline in his last one against the White Sox, Greene was pitching really well until a couple of home runs ruined everything. One thing we can typically count on from him are the strikeouts.

 

Although the Mets are one of the three best teams at not striking out, the right matchup can always make them buck the trend. Spencer Strider dotted them for eight punchouts. NYM hasn’t really faced a ton of elite pitching, so their numbers could be a bit jaded. What we do know is Hunter Greene can rack up the punchies in a hurry. With 47 on the season (33.2 IP), he’s managed to log at least seven K’s in three of his last five outings. One of the starts where he went under was against the Rays, where left after only three innings because he got hit with a line drive. The consistency has been rounding into form for Greene, so if he continues to keep it moving then we might see a monster outing from him tonight.

 

So long as he can keep the walks to a limit, and the homeruns off the field, then I think Greene getting at least six strikeouts is a great bet. Five Mets have notched at least 23 K’s individually this season.

 

 

Pick: Greene 6+ K’s

Yordan Alvarez OVER/UNDER 1.5 Total Bases

 

Not only am I featuring a power arm on my slate today, but a power bat. Yordan Alvarez has taken the league by storm over the past few seasons. Quick story actually. In August 2019, I went to Camden Yards with a couple of friends, and Houston was in town. Alvarez wasn’t really mainstream yet, but because I follow baseball very closely, I knew he had oceans of potential… and power. Not to mention, the guy in unbelievable fashion ended his rookie campaign with 27 taters, 78 RBI’s, and .313 average, and he didn’t even get called up until the second week of June! Anyway, Alvarez had three bombs that day. One of the shots he hit, I’ve never seen a ball hit that far in my life. It almost hit the building in right center field behind the stadium. Anyway, that’s the guy we’re looking at tonight.

 

Alvarez is one of the best offensive weapons we’ve seen in the last two decades. He has been heating up over the month of May, so it would be a good bet to say he stays hot. Yordan, currently riding a seven-game hitting streak, has either had an extra base knock or multiple hits in three of his last four contests. Now, he faces a pitcher in Griffin Canning who has gotten absolutely bombed this year.

 

Canning has been a mess to start this season. His 5.31 ERA and 1.33 WHIP don’t give a whole lot of reasons for LAA to be confident. But for us, this is like music to my ears. In four starts, Canning has yet to make it past 5.1 innings. He’s also allowed three homers. This guy has been getting beaten up, so we can clearly see it’s a butter matchup for Alvarez tonight.
