The MLB schedule for May 1 presents an enticing selection of games that offer a promising chance to earn profits through PrizePicks predictions. Using OddsShopper’s PrizePicks Builder, we have identified three picks that can enhance your chances of winning big in a 5x entry. Let’s take a look at the most notable player projections for MLB PrizePicks.
MLB PrizePicks Player Projections | May 1
Patrick Wisdom More Than 0.5 Total Bases
Despite striking out a high rate, Wisdom has shown that he can hit the ball hard. He also has three hits in his last two games. Wisdom’s ability to see the baseball makes him a potential threat against MacKenzie Gore, whom he will face tonight. Additionally, Wisdom’s tendency to chase pitches may work in his favor, as he is always looking to hit the ball rather than walk. Based on his form and the matchup, Wisdom is a good play for more than 0.5 total bases.
Tony Gonsolin Less Than 4.5 Strikeouts
The Philadelphia Phillies have been striking out less lately, and Gonsolin is not a dominant pitcher when it comes to strikeouts. Additionally, the Phillies lineup does not have major strikeout holes, so the likelihood of Gonsolin reaching 4.5 strikeouts is not high. Although his limited action should be taken into account, this pick has a good chance of hitting.
Vladimir Guerrero Jr. More Than 1.5 Total Bases
Guerrero has the power to smash at any time. With the pitching matchup against Corey Kluber in a hitter-friendly ballpark like Boston, Guerrero has a great opportunity to showcase his hitting skills. While he walks a bit than one would like for this entry, he tends to get a lot of at-bats and all he needs is two hits (or one extra-base hit) against a weak pitcher.
Put them together and these three picks lead to a 5x payout with a 15% chance of hitting.
