Junior Caminero Underdog MLB Pick: Higher Than 1.5 Hits+Runs+RBI
Caminero didn't get the start yesterday but he did contribute to the win, going 1-for-1 with an RBI and a run scored off the bench. To he returns to the Rays starting lineup in a great matchup today against the Pirates and righty Carmen Mlodzinski.
Caminero is off to a good start to the season, hitting .500 through three games, with at least 2.0 Hits+Runs+RBI in all three contests.
The weather is going to be in the 80s with a slight wind blowing out tonight which is great hitting conditions for a player we are expecting to hit 30 homers this season.
Tyler Soderstrom Underdog MLB Pick: Higher Than 1.5 Hits+Runs+RBI
Can Soderstrom keep the good times going? In a pitcher friendly ballpark over the weekend we saw Soderstrom launch three homers against a good Seattle Mariners pitching staff.
We now get our first taste of the A's new ballpark in Sacramento which has some thinking could bring about a nice boost to offenses this season.
Soderstrom has shown all it takes is one swing of the bat for him to clear the 1.5 Hits+Runs+RBI projection and Cub righty Ben Brown is going to be tasked with cooling off the A's hot corner infielder.

Player News
James Wood went 2-for-4 with a double and the game-winning RBI in a 5-4 win over the Braves on Wednesday.
Wood just keeps getting better. He nearly started the Nationals scoring in this one when he roped a first inning single 113.5 mph, but he may have hit the ball too hard as CJ Abrams was thrown out at the plate. Later on, he scorched a double down the line to pull his Nationals ahead in the eighth inning. In all, he had three batted balls hit harder than 107 mph. That was only the 17th time all season a player has hit three balls that hard in a single game. Wood joined Aaron Judge, Shohei Ohtani, and Addison Barger as the only players to do so more than once so far this season. He is a budding superstar.
Kyle Finnegan worked around a hit and struck a batter out in his inning of work to earn the save against the Braves on Wednesday.
Things became tense for a moment when Marcel Ozuna came up with the tying run in scoring position against Finnegan, but he got him to pop up to center field to end the threat. Amazingly, his 13 saves trail only Robert Suarez for the league lead after the Nationals left him on the free agent market until the precipice of spring training.
Mitchell Parker allowed four hits and four runs with two walks and six strikeouts across 4 2/3 innings in a no-decision against the Braves on Wednesday.
Parker left this game with only two runs on his ledger, but with two men on base. Then, Jackson Rutledge came in to face Marcell Ozuna and promptly allowed a two-run double, to close Parker’s line. Ozuna already had two hard-hit balls in his only two at-bats against Parker anyway who didn’t have his best stuff in this one. He usually leans on his curveball for both soft contact and swings-and-misses. Here, it didn’t force a single whiff and found itself in the middle of the plate far too often. He’s scheduled to face the Braves again next time out.
Marcell Ozuna went 1-for-4 with a double and two RBI on Wednesday against the Nationals.
Ozuna’s two-run double gave the Braves valuable insurance pushing their lead from one to three runs in the fifth inning. In all, he had three hard-hit balls out of the four he put in play, but that last one may have been the most critical as he hit a lazy fly ball for the final out with the tying run in scoring position. He’s been Atlanta’s most consistent hitter to this point in the season with an .868 OPS.
Bryce Elder allowed five hits and one run with one walk and three strikeouts over six innings in a no-decision on Wednesday against the Nationals.
Elder certainly pitched well enough to win this game. He left with a 4-1 lead that his bullpen gave up soon thereafter. Alas, Elder worked his usual sinker, slider combo well and forced 10 ground balls on the 16 total balls in play hit against him. He’ll look to build on this start next time out when he’s scheduled to face the same Nationals again.
Jeremy Peña finished 4-for-4 with a double and two RBI as the Astros edged the Royals 4-3 on Wednesday.
The last hit made it a 4-3 game in the eighth. Peña has 15 hits during his current seven-game hitting streak that’s raised his average from .275 to .315.
