PrizePicks’ MLB lineup for Friday promises a thrilling set of games, presenting a favorable opportunity for profitable results based on current projections. To assist you in making informed decisions, we’ve incorporated OddsShopper’s PrizePicks Parlay Builder to showcase three selections worth considering. Let’s dive into the most promising MLB player projections for April 21 available on PrizePicks.
PrizePicks MLB Player Projections | April 21
Braxton Garrett Under 4.5 Strikeouts
While Garrett has gotten into the fifth inning in two of his last three starts, those games were against Arizona and the Mets, and it’s unlikely he’ll pitch as many innings against Cleveland. Additionally, Cleveland doesn’t strike out as much as those teams, which could limit Garrett’s chances to rack up strikeouts. In his start against the Mets, Garrett had to work through the game and benefited from facing a team that struggled to convert hits into runs. However, it’s unlikely that he’ll have the same luck against Cleveland.
Patrick Wisdom Over 0.5 Total Bases
Wisdom has been seeing the baseball consistently and has been able to take advantage of volume. He has a good matchup against Julio Urias, who has been allowing hittable pitches while avoiding walks. Wisdom has only had one walk in his last seven games and has been hitting safely in six of his last seven games. This indicates that he is not being pitched around, allowing him to swing the bat and take some good shots against Urias. Wisdom has a 58% chance of hitting over 0.5 total bases, which beats the market with the implied juice.
Shohei Ohtani Under 7.5 Strikeouts
While he is hosting the Royals, it is unlikely that Ohtani will dominate the game in the same way he has in previous games against teams like Oakland. Additionally, there are concerns about his health and ability to pitch a complete game. But even if he does go longer, Ohtani went seven innings against Washington and only struck out six despite giving up just one hit. It is possible that he will pitch around six or seven innings and hover around six or seven strikeouts. With a 57% chance of hitting, betting on under 7.5 strikeouts seems like a solid choice.
Overall, these three legs lead to a 5x payout with a 19% chance of hitting.
