MLB PrizePicks Today: Yankees at Coors Field
Giancarlo Stanton More Than 8.5 Fantasy Points
The Yankees are on the road facing the Colorado Rockies at Coors Field. Chase Anderson is on the mound for the Rockies and is projected for a 5.18 FIP. Despite the righty-righty matchup, the Yankees have a strong 6.7-run implied total, which bodes well for Stanton’s power hitting. The PrizePicks projection is set at 8.5 fantasy points, but given the hitting-friendly environment of Coors Field, Stanton is projected to go over this PrizePicks projection approximately 68% of the time.
Gleyber Torres More Than 9.5 Fantasy Points
Like Stanton, Torres benefits from the favorable hitting conditions at Coors Field. With a 6.7-run implied total for the Yankees, Torres has an opportunity to contribute significantly. The PrizePicks projection is set at 9.5 fantasy points, and OddsShopper projections indicate that Torres goes over this PrizePicks projection around 65% of the time. As a solid hitter, Torres is expected to deliver above-average fantasy production in this game.
Wander Franco More Than 8.0 Fantasy Points
Brady Singer takes the mound for the Royals with a 4.07 projected FIP. Although that is a solid mark for Singer, Franco is a switch-hitter and benefits from the lefty-righty matchup. The Rays have a 5.6-run implied total, providing ample scoring opportunities. With a PrizePicks projection set at 8.0 fantasy points, Franco is projected to go over this approximately 66% of the time. Given his hitting prowess and the favorable offensive environment, Franco has a good chance of surpassing this fantasy point threshold.

Randy Arozarena More Than 7.5 Fantasy Points
Arozarena faces the same matchup as Franco against Singer. Although it is a righty-righty matchup, Arozarena has shown exceptional hitting ability, with a projected .350 wOBA and .190 ISO. With a 5.6-run implied total for the Rays, the hitting environment is favorable for Arozarena. The PrizePicks projection is set at 7.5 fantasy points, and OddsShopper projections indicate that Arozarena goes over this PrizePicks mark around 63% of the time. As a key contributor to the Rays offense, Arozarena has the potential to provide solid fantasy production.
Mookie Betts Less Than 8.5 Fantasy Points
The Dodgers are on the road facing the New York Mets at a pitcher-friendly park. Max Scherzer takes the mound for the Mets, projected with a 3.62 FIP. The Dodgers have a relatively low 4.3-run implied total in this game. Given the challenging matchup and the pitcher-friendly environment, Betts may struggle to reach the PrizePicks projection set at 8.5 fantasy points. Projections indicate that Betts goes under this PrizePicks projection approximately 64% of the time. Considering the circumstances, betting on the under for Betts’ fantasy points seems reasonable.
Lane Thomas Less Than 7.5 Fantasy Points
Thomas faces Jack Flaherty of the Nationals in a righty-righty matchup. Flaherty is a solid pitcher with a 4.28 projected FIP. The Cardinals have a modest 3.8-run implied total in this game, indicating a relatively weak offensive environment. With the PrizePicks projection set at 7.5 fantasy points, OddsShopper projections suggest that Thomas goes under this number approximately 64% of the time. Given the challenging matchup and the limited offensive support, betting on the under for Thomas’ fantasy points is a reasonable choice.
