PrizePicks MLB Player Projections | April 28
Patrick Wisdom More Than 0.5 Total Bases
Despite being hitless in his last two games and three out of his last four, Wisdom can crush the baseball when he is on top of it. Although his strikeout rate is high, he is going up against a pitcher in Jesus Luzardo who is going to throw strikes. That means Wisdom will get pitches to hit and should therefore get more than 0.5 total bases.
Joey Gallo More Than 0.5 Total Bases
Gallo has seen the baseball well lately, getting a hit in each of his last four games. While a high walk rate is a concern with Gallo, he is facing Jordan Lyles, who has a good enough walk rate to not just hand out free passes. The fact that Lyles is unlikely to mow him down or intentionally walk him bodes well for Gallo’s chances to get on base.
Brad Miller More Than 0.5 Total Bases
Despite Miller’s struggles this year, he is still expected to get enough at-bats in the game against Clarke Schmidt of the Yankees. Although Schmidt has had some good spots when it comes to striking people out, his in-between stuff has been a little dicey. Additionally, Jacob deGrom is on the hill for the Rangers, so this will be a tough game for the Yankees. As long as Miller is back in the lineup, he should see enough at-bats and good pitches to get at least one hit.
Brendan Donovan More Than 0.5 Total Bases
Donovan has been struggling lately, with only one good game in his last four. However, facing the Dodgers with Dustin May on the mound could offer him an opportunity to break out of his slump. May is beatable and has both a low strikeout rate and modest walk rate, so Donovan should see some good pitches. Plus, this game is likely to be higher scoring, which should favor more at-bats for Donovan.
Paul DeJong More Than 0.5 Total Bases
DeJong has been hot recently, with multi-hit games in three of the five games he has played and at least one hit in four. Even though this will regress, he is getting the same situation against May as Donovan and is in much better form of late. Pairing those teammates in a game with an 8.5 total is a solid move.
Put them together and these three picks lead to a 10x payout with a 5% chance of hitting.
