The Thursday MLB schedule on PrizePicks offers an exciting array of games, with projections that show potential for a fruitful outcome. To aid you in making well-informed choices, we’ve employed OddsShopper’s PrizePicks Parlay Builder to highlight five picks that deserve your attention. So, without further ado, let’s delve into the top PrizePicks MLB player projections for April 20.
PrizePicks MLB Player Projections | April 20
Michael Grove (Los Angeles Dodgers) Under 4.5 Strikeouts
Grove has only one game with five strikeouts in three starts this year, and he has a tendency to get knocked around on the mound. Additionally, the Cubs are not offering many strikeouts lately, so there may not be many opportunities for Grove to exceed his 4.5 strikeout line.
Trent Grisham (San Diego Padres) Over 0.5 Total Bases
Grisham had hits in four of his last six games, and the matchup against the Arizona Diamondbacks is not too concerning. The pitcher, Ryne Nelson, is not a significant threat, and Grisham should have four to five at-bats to earn the base needed to hit the over.
Ezequiel Tovar (Colorado Rockies) Over 0.5 Total Bases
On OddsShopper, there is a 54% chance of Tovar going over 0.5 total bases. Tovar has hits in two of his last three games, and while the matchup against the Phillies is not perfect, Matt Strahm is not someone who should intimidate Tovar.
Sean Manaea (San Francisco Giants) Over 4.5 Strikeouts
Manaea has exceeded 4.5 strikeouts just once this year, but his strikeout rate is on the rise the last few seasons — up to 10.3% this year. Additionally, the matchup against the Mets is favorable, as they are among the most strikeout-prone teams in MLB against lefties.
Joey Gallo (Minnesota Twins) Over 0.5 Total Bases
Gallo is coming off a game in which he hit a home run, and the matchup against the Red Sox should provide him with opportunities to earn the extra base he needs to win the bet.
All told, these five legs create a 10x payout with a 4% chance of hitting.
