Framber Valdez PrizePicks MLB Pick: More Than 6.5 Strikeouts

This is a pretty interesting projection for Valdez as the Houston southpaw got off to a really slow start in the strikeout department this season, and therefore, his K/9 sits at a career low 8.14. However, going back to July 1st, his K/9 sits a 10.2 with a 29.4% strikeout rate.

Over his last five starts, Valdez has three 10 strikeout games, and on the year, the Tampa Bay Rays have the fifth-highest strikeout rate against left-handed pitching. Even better for Valdez is the fact that at the trade deadline the Rays traded away two of their better hitters against southpaws in Randy Arozarena and Isaac Paredes. I’m banking on another strong strikeout game here tonight for Valdez.

 

 

 

Matt Olson PrizePicks MLB Pick: More Than 1.5 Strikeouts

From a strikeout projection for a pitcher to a “demon” strikeout projection for a hitter. The Atlanta Braves take on Blake Snell and the San Francisco Giants here this evening. This is a lefty-on-lefty matchup for Matt Olson and over the last 30 days Olson has a 46% strikeout rate against southpaws.

Blake Snell this season has a 38.6% strikeout rate against left-handed hitters and over his last five starts that number sits at 45%. I’m taking the boosted payout odds here and betting that Snell does the job against Olson here this evening.

Total Multiplier - 4x
