Jesus Sanchez<\/a> Over 1.5 hits + runs + RBI (+125)<\/p>\n

Let’s head to the 6ix to start my MLB picks<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Toronto Blue Jays<\/a> outfielder Jesus Sanchez<\/a> has been on a tear lately, posting a .433 wOBA and 44.44% barrel rate over his last 30 plate appearances against right-handed pitchers.<\/p>\n

This evening, he draws\u00a0Baltimore Orioles<\/a> veteran right-hander Chris Bassitt<\/a>, who has a poorly rated average-hitter matchup wOBA and strikeout percentage, per\u00a0Batters-Box<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Left-handed hitters have given the veteran some trouble recently, as they are producing a 42.9% hard contact rate, 26.2% line drive rate, and 38.1% fly ball rate over the last 60 batters faced.<\/p>\n

These lefties are making a ton of hard contact and consistently elevating the baseball. They also own a .352 xBA, .533 xSLG, and .334 xwOBA during that span.<\/p>\n

With Sanchez carrying nearly 75% arsenal coverage against Bassitt\u2019s offerings, combined with how well he has been seeing the ball and how often the veteran right-hander has been allowing lefties to mash, this feels like a great spot for him to have a ton of success.<\/p>\n

Davis Martin Over 5.5 strikeouts (+100)<\/p>\n

One of the most exciting pitchers to watch through the early part of the season has easily been Davis Martin<\/a>, the pride and joy of the Chicago White Sox<\/a> starting rotation.<\/p>\n

The 29-year-old has been wheeling and dealing all season long, averaging 6.6 strikeouts per game, while averaging 7.25 at home. Over his last five starts, he owns a 32.5% strikeout rate, along with a 32.7% whiff rate and a 17% swinging strike rate.<\/p>\n

He draws a Minnesota Twins<\/a> offense that has been a bit swing-happy on the road, owning a 24.9% strikeout rate, the fifth-highest mark in baseball.<\/p>\n

Their lineup features five hitters with at least a 23.3% strikeout rate over their last 30 road plate appearances. Zoom in a little more, and three of them own at least a 30% strikeout rate during that stretch.<\/p>\n

The power of friendship is extremely strong in that White Sox clubhouse, and I expect Martin to help lead this team to another series win while cashing this prop. I would take this down to -110. Anything lower than that, try to find plus money if possible.<\/p>\n
