Yariel Rodriguez PrizePicks MLB Pick: More Than 4.5 Strikeouts

Since it is Flex Friday over on PrizePicks, let’s take a look at the “demon” strikeout projection of 4.5 for Blue Jays righty Yariel Rodriguez as he takes on the Arizona Diamondbacks. The 27-year-old rookie has a ton of experience pitching internationally, spending time in Japan and pitching for Cuba. This is his first season in the MLB, and he posted some impressive strikeout totals in AAA, owning a K/9 of 14.61. 

The issue in AAA and at the MLB level has been controll with a BB/9 of 4.75 over his eight starts this season with the Blue Jays. But we are looking to count on his strikeout upside here in this matchup and in four of his eight starts, he has had at least six strikeouts, which includes each of his last two outings where he went at least six innings in both outings.

 

 

 

Cole Ragans PrizePicks MLB Pick: More Than 9.5 Strikeouts

“Demon” projection number two for our Flex Friday ticket features Royals southpaw Cole Ragans. The Red Sox lead baseball in strikeout rate against southpaws this season at 29% but that number has been even worse over the last two weeks, jumping to 37%. We’ve seen lefties just continue to have their way with recent starts by Trevor Rogers, JP Sears and Andrew Abbott all resulting in high K/9 efforts against this Red Sox offense. 

Ragans is one of the league's premier strikeout southpaws and an easy comp to him would be White Sox starter Garrett Crochet, who faced the Red Sox earlier this year and had 10 strikeouts over six innings. I’d expect similar numbers from Cole Ragans here today.

Total Multiplier - 6.5x
