Best PrizePicks MLB Tonight: Alex Cobb BounceBack
Alex Cobb More/Less 5.5 Hits Allowed
Alex Cobb knows how to work himself out of trouble. In his 12th season in the big leagues, Cobb has a 2.91 ERA, his lowest in years. But he tends to give up plenty of hits on his way to quality starts. On the bright side, Cobb gets his easiest matchup of the season against the Pittsburgh Pirates. The Pirates are hitting a league-low .209 in the last 30 days.

Chris Bassitt More/Less 2.5 Earned Runs
Chris Bassitt will get the start for the injured Kevin Gausman against the Arizona Diamondbacks. After a surging first few months of the season, Arizona has fallen to the middle of the pack in batting average and on-base percentage against RHP. Trust Bassitt to keep runners off as he’s only issued one walk in his last two starts.

Freddy Peralta More/Less 16.5 Pitching Outs
This will be the first time Freddy Peralta will see the division rival Cincinnati Reds this season. In three starts last year, Peralta failed to reach this line in two of three starts. The Reds’ offense has only gotten more lethal. They’re second in the league in on-base percentage and draw the third most walks against RHP in the last 30 days. Teammate Corbin Burnes gave the Brewers a masterful outing last night so don’t be surprised if we see the rested bullpen early in the sixth inning.
