Best PrizePicks MLB Tonight: Pete Alonso Crosses Home (August 1)
Brayan Bello More/Less Than 17.5 Outs
Brayan Bello is the unquestioned future of the Boston Red Sox rotation. He gives the Red Sox plenty of innings due to his low walk rate and top-25 ground ball rate. He’s gone through the sixth inning in eight of his last 10 starts and three of his four starts in July. The selling Seattle Mariners may be in for a rough one tonight. In July against righties, they’re striking out at the third highest rate and can’t find the base pads via the walk with their 7.7 BB%.

Pete Alonso More/Less Than 0.5 Runs
The New York Mets have a gift in front of them in Zack Greinke. Greinke ranks in the bottom 10% in strikeout rate, xBA and xSLG. All metrics point to a Pete Alonso extra-base hit. For the runs, plays we will have to depend on the hitters behind Alonso, including Tommy Pham, who is on the trading block. Nonetheless, Greinke’s earned run projection is set at 3.5, with many presuming he’ll be hit hard.

Spencer Strider More/Less Than 18.5 Outs
It’s a tall ask to get 6.1 innings out of the best strikeout pitcher in the league. Spencer Strider comes into today eclipsing this mark in just six of 21 starts and now faces off against a revamped Los Angeles Angels lineup that sees the 13th-most pitchers per plate appearance. Given a decently rested Braves bullpen and an off day Thursday, don’t expect Strider to go more than six innings tonight.
