Jackson Chourio MLB Underdog Fantasy Pick: Higher Than 8.5 Fantasy Score
This is quite the fantasy score projection for a player who in three games at Coors Field this series has gone for 32, 24 and 34 fantasy points.
He's the top hitter in this Brewers lineup and the Rockies sending out Ryan Feltner doesn't seem like the solution to keeping the Brewers young all-star from putting up a big fantasy score today with the Brewers themselves projected to score nearly six runs today.
Chris Bassitt MLB Underdog Fantasy Pick: Higher Than 17.5 Pitching Outs
We need six fulling innings out of Bassitt here today which is something he's done in both of his starts to open the 2025 MLB Season.
In fact, Bassitt has been dominant over his first two starts, taking on tougher lineups in the Baltimore Orioles and New York Mets to open the season.
The Red Sox were just shut down by Kevin Gausman last night, watching the Blue Jays righty toss eight innings while striking out 10.
The Blue Jays are not shy about letting Bassitt pitch into a deep pitch count so even if Boston maybe gets a run or two on the board in this one, the six innings of work is very much in play here.

Player News
Cubs re-signed RHP Caleb Kilian to a minor league contract.
The 27-year-old hurler was released last weekend after being designated for assignment, but after exploring the open market he has decided that a reunion with the Cubs made the most sense. Kilian will continue to function as extra rotation depth at Triple-A Iowa for the time being.
Corey Seager went 2-for-3 with a homer and a walk to help the Rangers take down the Angels 5-3 on Thursday.
Seager had a bad first week and a half while dealing with a calf strain, but he’s collected 14 hits, including three homers, in his last eight games, putting him at .306/.368/.516 overall. Alas, it’s produced just six RBI, mostly because the Rangers are getting terrible production from the ninth and first spots in the order.
Kumar Rocker recorded his first MLB victory after pitching seven innings of three-run ball and striking out eight Thursday against the Angels.
Rocker walked none and surrendered just one double and four singles. Unfortunately, all five hits came in the first and fifth innings, resulting in three runs between them. Still, Rocker was terrific in needing just 78 pitches to get 21 outs. It’s the kind of performance that suggests he might offer mixed-league value at some point. We just wouldn’t trust him quite yet. His next start will come in Sacramento against the A’s.
Robert Garcia picked up his first save of the year with a perfect ninth against the Angels on Thursday.
Garcia got the call tonight with Luke Jackson having pitched the previous two days and retired the Angels on five pitches. Even though he’s the better reliever of the two, he’ll likely resume taking a backseat to Jackson on Friday.
Jack Kochanowicz gave up four runs and eight hits in 4 2/3 innings against the Rangers on Thursday.
The surprising and misguided decision to pick Kochanowicz over Reid Detmers for a rotation spot at the end of the spring isn’t working out for the Angels. The team might reverse course soon, but Detmers hasn’t been used as a long guy and isn’t stretched out to start right away. Kochanowicz is now 1-2 with a 6.20 ERA, but at least he gets the Pirates next.
Joc Pederson went 0-for-4 with a strikeout Thursday, dropping his average to .060.
It’s mostly been hard grounders and routine flies from Pederson thus far, but given that his bat speed is unchanged from last year, we don’t have big concerns here yet. That said, this might not be the weekend he turns it around, given that the Rangers are set to face the Dodgers.
