MLB PrizePicks Today: Guardians Get Debuting Pitcher
Steven Kwan More Than 7.0 Fantasy Points
Kwan is projected to have a solid performance against pitcher Quinn Priester. Although Kwan is not known for his power, the Guardians have a favorable 5.1-run implied total, indicating potential scoring opportunities against a pitcher making his major league debut. With the PrizePicks projection set at 7.0 fantasy points, Kwan is projected to exceed this number approximately 68% of the time.
Jose Ramirez More Than 7.5 Fantasy Points
Continuing with the Guardians, Ramirez is a significantly better hitter than Kwan, and his PrizePicks projection is set at 7.5 fantasy points. Given his skill set and the favorable matchup with Priester, Ramirez is projected to go over this PrizePicks projection around 65% of the time. With a 5.1-run implied total for the Guardians, Ramirez has a good chance of delivering a strong fantasy performance.
Riley Greene More Than 7.0 Fantasy Points
The Tigers face Jordan Lyles of the Royals, a pitcher projected for a 4.96 FIP. Although Greene is a league-average hitter, the Tigers have a promising 5.1-run implied total in this game. With a PrizePicks projection set at 7.0 fantasy points, Greene is projected to exceed this number approximately 65% of the time. Given the favorable run environment and the lefty-righty matchup, Greene has the potential to provide solid fantasy production.

Wander Franco More Than 7.5 Fantasy Points
Franco and the Rays face Dane Dunning of the Texas Rangers. Franco is a strong hitter, and the Rays have a 4.5-run implied total in this game. With a PrizePicks projection set at 7.5 fantasy points, Franco is projected to go over the mark around 62% of the time. Although the run environment is not as favorable as other picks, Franco’s talent and potential for offensive production make him a strong candidate to exceed the PrizePicks projection.
Corey Seager Less Than 7.0 Fantasy Points
Seager faces a challenging matchup against Shane McClanahan of the Tampa Bay Rays in a lefty-lefty spot. With a modest 4.2-run implied total for the Rangers, Seager may struggle to reach the PrizePicks projection set at 7.0 fantasy points. OddsShopper’s projections indicate that Seager goes under this PrizePicks number approximately 59% of the time. Considering the unfavorable matchup, playing the less for Seager’s fantasy points is reasonable.
Cody Bellinger Less Than 7.0 Fantasy Points
Bellinger faces MacKenzie Gore in another lefty-lefty matchup. With a decent but not great 4.4-run implied total for the Cubs, Bellinger may find it challenging to produce fantasy points. The PrizePicks projection is set at 7.0 fantasy points, and OddsShopper projections indicate that Bellinger goes under this mark around 59% of the time. Considering the unfavorable matchup and Bellinger’s recent struggles, betting on the under for his fantasy points is a reasonable choice.
