Let’s get into it!

Stud:

Mike Trout/Shohei Ohtani- The Angels sport the highest team total on the slate. They should be popular, and for good reason. Picking on the Ranger’s pitching staff will be a popular and profitable strategy this season. With the wind currently blowing out as well, this is a team I want to be invested in.

Mookie Betts- After missing a few days, Mookie is back! This is a spot I would like to attack. The Dodgers get young pitching prospect, Justus Sheffield, today and he has struggled with control and hard-hit rates to start the season. This is expected since he is still a very raw prospect. The Dodger’s right-handed bats are set up for success tonight and it all starts with Mookie. A multi-hit, multi-run game is in the cards for Mookie today.

Value:

Alex Dickerson/Brandon Belt- The middle of the Giants order is extremely affordable today! They get Chase Anderson in a hitter-friendly environment. You won’t find the Giants with a healthy team total but they are sporting a healthy one today over four. I am encouraged to invest in this offense for a cheap price tag.
