Best MLB Player PrizePicks: Kyle Bradish to Stikeout Braves
Kyle Bradish PrizePicks Play: Over 4.5 Strikeouts
Orioles right-hander Kyle Bradish had had a rough start to his 2023 season, going 1-1 with a 6.14 ERA in his first four starts. But there is reason to believe he can cash in the over on this PrizePicks play. Bradish has proven that if he can get somewhat deep into games, the K’s will come. The 26-year-old struck out five in just 4.2 innings of work against the Detroit Tigers his last time out and has 8.6 strikeouts per nine innings on the season.
Although things are not going to get any easier when Bradish faces off against a potent Braves offense on Saturday night, there is some reason to believe the inflated ERA doesn’t paint the whole picture of Bradish’s season. His 4.86 FIP (while still high) shows he could be due for some better days. The PrizePicks Parlay Builder gives this prop a 56% chance of hitting, making it a top play.
Nico Hoerner PrizePicks Play: Under 1.5 Bases
Chicago Cubs second baseman Nico Hoerner has taken over the team’s leadoff spot and has shown he is one of the better up-and-coming players in the game. Hoerner is slashing .304/.349/.400 and is fourth in the entire MLB with 43 hits. He recently had a 29-game on-base streak snapped but bounced back by going 2-4 in the win over the Marlins on Friday afternoon.
However, the PrizePicks Parlay Builder thinks the over 1.5 bases line is still set too high for a player who does not slug at a very high clip. The models give Hoerner a 56% chance of going under 1.5 bass, making the play a solid ass to our 6x entry.
Bryan Hoeing PrizePicks Play: Under 3.5 Strikeouts
The Marlins will hope to snap a four-game losing streak and get back against Hoerner and the Cubs on Saturday afternoon. But they will be relying on right-hander Bryan Hoeing to snap the skid, and he has not enjoyed much success thus far. Hoeing is 0-1 in his first two starts with a 6.32 ERA and has just six strikeouts.
Hoeing was able to strike out four Cubs batters over five innings last weekend but look for Chicago to see some better results after seeing the right-hander just five days ago. The PrizePicks tool gives Hoeing a 56% chance of cashing on this play.

Oswaldo Cabrera PrizePicks Play: Over 0.5 Bases
New York Yankees utilityman Oswaldo Cabrera showed spurts of promise and made himself a fan-favorite when being called up to the big leagues last season. But it has been a rough season for the 24-year-old out of the gates. He is hitting under .200 on the season, but OddsShopper models like his chance to break through on Sunday.
Cabrera will face off against Rays starter Drew Rasmussen, who has given up eight earned runs in his past two outings. With the line set low on Cabrera, taking the over qualifies as a nice piece to add to our play here.
Blake Snell PrizePicks play: Over 6.5 Strikeouts
San Diego Padres left-hander Blake Snell has had an up-and-down first month of the season but is coming off a solid performance. He earned a quality start in the win over the Cincinnati Reds, striking out seven in the process. Snell has always possessed swing-and-miss stuff during his career, averaging over 10 strikeouts per nine innings in all seven seasons of work.
The PrizePicks tool like Snell’s chance to go over 6.5 strikeouts against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Saturday night. The models give the left-hander a 54% chance to hit this play, which should give us some confidence when making it the last pick on our 6x entry.
According to the models, this entry has an 11% expected ROI, meaning it serves as a valuable investment for those looking for a fun shot-in-the-dark play for Saturday’s MLB slate.
