Jason's Past Picks
We have been dabbling in Teoscar's markets quite a bit since it becae very clear he loved Chavez Ravine as his home parl. He has 30 ABs vs lefties at home and has a .793 SLG with 4 HR (most in MLN) and 12 RBIs (2nd most). Joe Mantiply is gonna have trouble with this Dodgers lineup and righties will crush him. Will Smith is another guy to watch. Hernandez has been an RBI machine, with 22 in 27 home games and 37 on the season.
Smith is having another spectacular season and he continues to destroy left handed pitching, especially at home. In 13 games at home he's batting .500 off lefties with 2 homers and 6 driven in. He is slugging a robust .667 in those situations and he sees Joe Mantiply, tonight's starter, quite well, going 3-for-4 with a coupla RBIs vs him. I think he's good for a double or two tonight
Gavin Stone has done a really nice job for the Dodgers this season and I like him in this spot against a D-Backs team that has some issues hitting the bal. Dodgers are awesome at home and kill the ball. Arizona is 5-15 against teams that are above .500. Dodgers took two of three from Arizona in their first series and covered this in both
The Stros are inching back and their leadoff guy has actually cooled off during their climb. But I like him here. Has quality ABs vs Detmers and Detmers putting a lot of guys on base lately. He's scored 5 times in the last 7 games and with more bats going now (Tucker, Pena) I see Altuve setting the table tonight. Teams run a ton on the Angels catchers, and a stolen base could aid our cause tonight, too
