On Wednesday, MLB has a solid slate that presents an excellent opportunity to earn money based on current PrizePicks projections. To assist you in making informed decisions, we have incorporated the OddsShopper’s PrizePicks Builder to find five selections for a 10x entry. Let’s examine some of the top MLB player projections for PrizePicks for April 26.
PrizePicks MLB Player Projections | April 26
Hunter Dozier More Than 4.5 Strikeouts
Dozier is struggling this year, but he has been a little better recently. In his previous game, he had one hit in three at-bats, with one walk. A few games before that, he went for three hits in five at-bats. The focus for this entry is on the number of at-bats Dozier is likely to receive in the game against Arizona, which should be around four. While there is concern about Dozier’s tendency to strike out, Zac Gallen does not walk many batters, so Dozier will get pitches in the zone. All he needs is a single.
Triston Casas More Than 0.5 Total Bases
The previous game between Boston and Baltimore was high scoring, with 14 total runs. Casas has a hit in two straight games and three of his last five, showing signs of improvement. The concern for this entry is the possibility of walks since Casas draws a lot of them. However, he should still get quality at-bats and opportunities against Tyler Wells, who is pitching for Baltimore. Despite the potential for walks, this is a good opportunity for Casas to get at least one base.
Yusei Kikuchi More Than 5.5 Strikeouts
Kikuchi has struck out at least six twice in his four starts this season, and his strikeout rate is 23.5%. He will be facing the White Sox, who have several players who are strikeout candidates, including Luis Robert, Eloy Jimenez and Jake Burger. While Kikuchi has struggled with allowing contact here and there, he has largely avoided walking batters and has the ability to rack up strikeouts. As long as he avoids getting shelled, he should be able to get more than 5.5 strikeouts.
Jack Suwinski More Than 0.5 Total Bases
Suwinski is coming off a five at-bat game in which he had two hits, showing that he is getting a lot of chances. While walks could potentially limit his at-bats, Suwinski is still guaranteed at least four opportunities to get on base. The Pirates’ recent loss to the Dodgers was a close, high-scoring one, and Suwinski’s matchup against Tony Gonsolin is favorable since Gonsolin does not issue many walks. Although Suwinski has struggled with strikeouts, he has hit for a decent average and should make some good contact in this game.
Kodai Senga Fewer Than 5.5 Strikeouts
Senga is facing the Washington Nationals, a team that is striking out at a surprisingly low rate. While Senga and his opponent, MacKenzie Gore, both have a high propensity to strike out batters and an ability to walk an entire side, the key difference is the opposing team’s ability to strike out. This means that there is a better opportunity to go fewer than Senga’s 5.5 strikeouts than Gore’s.
All together, these five picks lead to a 10x payout with a 4% chance of hitting.
