Kevin Pillar Underdog MLB Pick: Higher Than 1.5 Total Bases
Nothing wrong with a little spice in your life. Pillar’s higher 1.5 total bases is 1.1x and faces Jordan Montgomery who right-handed hitters have crushed. Montgomery has allowed righties to bat .340 with a .566 SLG%, .416 wOBA, and a 35.3% hard-hit rate.
Pillar, on the flipside, has been incredible against southpaws posting a 1.237 OPS, .340 ISO, and .525 wOBA. Amongst all players in baseball (194 players) that have had at least 50 plate appearances, Kevin Pillar is SECOND in baseball with his .426 average.
Shohei Ohtani Underdog MLB Pick: Higher Than 1.5 Total Bases
There are a lot of factors working in our favor in this matchup here and I’m going to Sho you why Shohei is the play for me and you. #Bars. Dane Dunning has struggled with one thing this season and one thing only: left-handed power.
For a guy who gets a LOT of ground balls, the 41% flyball rate vs. LHP, 2.82 HR, and 45% hard-hit rate is concerning. Ohtani has dominated right-handed pitching posting a 1.051 OPS, .331 ISO, and .444 wOBA.

Player News
Zach Neto (shoulder) could return to the Angels to make his highly anticipated season debut on Friday.
Neto cleared the final hurdle on his minor league rehab assignment — playing shortstop for nine innings on consecutive days. He’s getting the night off on Thursday as the Angels’ brass meets to decide whether or not he’s ready to return or if they want him to play in a few more games before coming back. Either way, it sounds like his return is imminent. Fantasy managers who have been stashing him may finally start to reap some rewards over the weekend.
Twins placed OF Matt Wallner on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to April 16, with a left hamstring strain.
As anticipated, Wallner lands on the injured list after injuring his hamstring during Tuesday’s ballgame. There’s still no word on the severity of the strain or how much time Wallner stands to miss. Jonah Bride — who was acquired from the Marlins — was added to the Twins’ roster in a corresponding move on Thursday.
Wyatt Langford (oblique) will begin a minor league rehab assignment at Double-A Frisco on Thursday.
The 23-year-old budding superstar will serve as the designated hitter on Thursday night before easing his way back into the outfield. Langford wanted to skip the rehab assignment altogether, so as long as he shows that he’s ready to go, there’s a chance that the Rangers could bring him back at some point during their weekend series against the Dodgers.
Kyle Schwarber went 2-for-4 and drove in a pair of runs on Thursday afternoon, propelling the Phillies to a 6-4 victory over the visiting Giants.
Schwarber got the Phillies on the board with a go-ahead two-run single off of Jordan Hicks and then scored on a wild pitch as part of a five-run opening inning. He also reached on an infield single in the fifth inning but was left stranded there. The 32-year-old slugger is off to a strong start to the 2025 campaign, slashing .284/.435/.597 with six homers, 14 RBI and a stolen base in his first 85 plate appearances.
José Alvarado notched his fourth save of the season on Thursday, protecting a two-run advantage in the ninth inning against the Giants.
The 29-year-old left-hander came on with a three-run lead to protect, but things got a bit closer as he served up a one-out solo homer to Tyler Fitzgerald. After getting Wilmer Flores on a ground ball to shortstop, Alvarado walked Jung Hoo Lee to bring the tying run to the plate before retiring Christian Koss on a fielder’s choice to end it. He appears to be locked in as the preferred ninth inning option for manager Rob Thomson and should continue to provide plenty of fantasy value for as long as he remains healthy and stationed there.
Cristopher Sanchez picked up his second victory of the season on Thursday, racking up a season-high 12 strikeouts over seven innings against the Giants.
The 28-year-old southpaw allowed three runs (two earned) on four hits and one walk. The Giants scratched out a run against him in the first inning on a two-out RBI single by Matt Chapman. Sanchez then served up a two-run homer to Chapman in the sixth after Heliot Ramos had reached on an error. He got a whopping 24 swings and misses on 97 pitches in the ballgame — 22 of those on his changeup alone — while posting an elite CSW of 40 percent. Now 2-0 on the season, Sanchez will carry a 2.96 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and a 31/6 K/BB ratio (24 1/3 innings) into Tuesday’s showdown against the Mets in New York.
