Shohei Ohtani MLB Picks At Sleeper Fantasy Today, 4/26: Baseball Projections + More
What a great slate of MLB games here on a Saturday! It’s the perfect opportunity to win some money on Sleeper Fantasy with our MLB DFS pick ’em picks!
The slate is packed with some really bad pitching today so we will likely focus more on the offensive front. But be wary of the fact that there is rain in some areas – Sacramento and Washington D.C. to be specific – so just keep an eye on the weather. The New York Yankees/Toronto Blue Jays game has already been postponed.

Corbin Carroll Sleeper Fantasy MLB Pick: Less Than 2.5 Hits + Runs + RBI (1.66x)
This one may surprise you a bit, considering the way Carroll has been seeing the baseball. However, if you were watching the Diamondbacks game on Friday, or at least following the news on Twitter, you would have seen the broadcasters pointing out that Carroll was trying to shake out his shoulder and was clearly wincing in pain after a swing. We all know the history of Carroll and his shoulder, so we’re going to take the opposite end of a pumped-up line. Grant Holmes isn’t the be-all, end-all, but if Carroll’s shoulder is bothering him, we’ll try to take advantage of the knowledge.
- Pick: Less Than 2.5 Hits + Runs + RBI (1.66x)
Shohei Ohtani Sleeper Fantasy MLB Pick: More Than 1.5 Total Bases (1.68x)
You can also look at his 2.5 HRR stat-line as well, but we’ll take what seems to be an easier route here for Ohtani. A double gets it done for us and we don’t have to worry about what the surrounding hitters are doing. Ohtani should have little trouble with Mitch Keller and we’re still waiting on that really big game to celebrate the birth of his daughter. It probably comes today, so we’ll take it!
- Pick: More Than 1.5 Total Bases (1.68x)
Total Multiplier: 2.78x

Player News
J.P. Crawford singled in the winning run in the bottom of the 11th as the Mariners edged the Yankees 2-1 on Tuesday.
Crawford was 0-for-4 with three strikeouts before his liner to left barely dropped into fair territory and plated the automatic runner in the 11th. It gave him his first RBI in nine games. He’s currently hitting .271/.378/.364 for the season.
Bryan Woo blanked the Yankees for 6 1/3 innings in a no-decision Tuesday.
Woo has come up big for the Mariners in pitching at least six innings every time out this season and going 4-1 with a 2.84 ERA. The 1-0 lead he left with tonight didn’t hold up, but the Mariners did prevail in extra innings to move to 6-2 in Woo’s starts. He’ll face the White Sox next time out.
Andrés Muñoz was charged with a blown save after giving up an unearned run in the ninth Tuesday against the Yankees.
Muñoz created his own trouble by hitting Paul Goldschmidt to start the ninth, but that was the only mistake he made as a pair of grounders went on to score pinch-runner Pablo Reyes. Muñoz still hasn’t given up an earned run this season.
Max Fried allowed one run over five innings before being lifted against the Mariners on Tuesday.
Fried needed 91 pitches to get his 15 outs, so he didn’t come back out for the sixth. Still, he was effective in allowing four hits and striking out five. He’ll take a 1.11 ERA into his next start, which will likely come Sunday against the Mets.
Devin Williams pitched a perfect 10th in a tie game Tuesday against the Mariners.
Williams followed Luke Weaver, who worked flawless eighth and ninth innings before the game went to extras. It’s Williams’ third straight scoreless appearance and sixth in seven games since he was pulled from the closer’s role. Weaver hasn’t had any issues, either, but it wouldn’t be a surprise to see Williams get a save chance sometime soon.
Robbie Ray allowed three runs over six innings and struck out nine in the Giants’ 10-6 win over the Diamondbacks on Tuesday.
Ray joined Max Fried as the only pitchers off to 6-0 starts thus far this season, and the Giants have gone 9-0 in his outings. His peripherals are significantly worse than his 3.04 ERA, but he’s definitely performed better in his last four starts than he did in his first five, when he seemed more lucky than good. He’ll pitch at home against the Royals next time out.
