These are the ones that make the VSiN Pro Picks page and count towards my season-long record. On Saturdays and Sundays, I\u2019m going to keep these much shorter to cut down on my workload a little.<\/p>\n<p>Tyler Freeman Over 1.5 Hits + Runs + RBIs (-117) vs. Twins<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rockies at Twins \u2013 2:10 pm ET<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While it\u2019d be nice if this Rockies-Twins game was being played at Coors, Target Field is also a hitter-friendly park. So, with Minnesota sending a hittable lefty to the hill, give me Freeman to have at least two hits, runs, and RBIs (HRR) tonight. He\u2019s averaging 2.7 HRR per game against southpaws this year. Also, even if you exclude his home games, he\u2019s averaging 2.5 HRR per game against lefties. <\/p>\n<p>Luinder Avila Over 4.5 Strikeouts (+160) vs. Royals<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Royals at White Sox \u2013 2:10 pm ET<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Avila quietly comes into this start having had at least five strikeouts in three of his last five outings. So, while he\u2019s only averaging 2.0 strikeouts per game in two previous meetings with Chicago, this is worth a shot at +160 odds. The White Sox have a strikeout rate of 24.0% and whiff percentage of 27.5% this season. The matchup simply doesn\u2019t get better. Avila should be able to take advantage now that he has some confidence. <\/p>\n<p>Ben Rice Over 1.5 Hits + Runs + RBIs (-130) vs. Red Sox<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yankees at Red Sox \u2013 7:20 pm ET<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rice has been absurd when getting to face right-handed pitching this season, averaging 2.7 HRR per game in the games in which opponents have thrown righty starters. Well, it\u2019ll be Sonny Gray on the mound for the Red Sox tonight. Gray has been very good for Boston this season, and one would imagine he\u2019ll be a hot commodity for contenders on the trade market. But I\u2019ll take my chances with Rice tonight. <\/p>\n<p>Additional Picks<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mitch Keller Over 5.5 Strikeouts (+140) vs. Reds<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Zack Littell Over 3.5 Strikeouts (-103 \u2013 1.5 units) &amp; Alt Strikeouts 5+ (+225 \u2013 0.5 units) vs. Orioles<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Jonathan Aranda Over 1.5 Total Bases (+110) vs. Diamondbacks<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Jack Flaherty Over 5.5 Strikeouts (-101) vs. Astros<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">J.P. Crawford Over 1.5 Hits + Runs + RBIs (+102) vs. Guardians<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Aaron Civale Over 4.5 Strikeouts (+134) vs. Angels<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Emmet Sheehan Over 5.5 Strikeouts (-110) vs. Padres<\/p>\n<p>Noteworthy OptaAI Player Prop Edges<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Check out the BRAND NEW <a href=\"https:\/\/data.vsin.com\/projections\/?sport=mlb&amp;_gl=1*1eqmvkf*_ga*NDI3MjY1MTk0LjE3MDQzMjU4MTU.*_ga_9JYMWSCRCK*czE3NzQ1MzkzMzAkbzc2JGcxJHQxNzc0NTQwNDExJGo2MCRsMCRoMA..\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">OptaAI Player Props MLB pages<\/a> for more of these!
