Going w/ a 2-pick Play for our MLB PrizePicks tonight!
Jacob deGrom – Over 9 Strikeouts
Similar to our reasons last night with liking Max Scherzer, (who has recorded at least 8 k’s agianst ATL in each of his three starts agianst the Braves this season), deGrom has the similar upside and has looked lights out since returning from injury. With his pitch count raising with a few starts since his injury and his 15.9 K/9 ratio, I think he has no trouble picking up double-digit K’s agianst a Braves team that ranks 28th in team strikeout rate.
Juan Soto – Over 8.5 Hitter Fantasy Score
Juan Soto is by far the top offensive fantasy player tonight in his mathcup agianst the RHP Anibal Sanchez wh ocomes into this game with 7.20 ERA & 1.60 WHIP. Sanzhez has been better against LHB’s, however, still is allowing opponents to post a .286 avgerage, .571 SLG %, & .934 OPS. Soto hasn’t had much success agianst Sanchez in the past however, I think the San Diego offense has a big night overall with Soto in the middle of it and he does enough to get us over this 8.5 hitter fantasy score.
Good Luck!
