Best PrizePicks MLB Tonight: Fading Some Pitchers

Tyler Anderson More/Less 4.5 Strikeouts

After a surgical 2022 campaign with the Los Angeles Dodgers, Tyler Anderson has folded with his new Los Angeles team. His 15.5% strikeout rate is the lowest of his career, and he’s getting hit harder than ever. Last season, he was able to pitch six innings with no problem. Fast forward to this season, and it’s been the complete opposite. Anderson has pitched 5.2 or fewer innings in seven of 12 starts due in large part to his walk rate. He has walked at least two batters in 11 of 12 games this season.

From a strikeout standpoint, Anderson isn’t much of a threat; he has gone below this projection in eight of 12 games.

Hogan Harris More/Less 4.5 Strikeouts

It’s all about fading pitchers on Sunday. There’s no debating Hogan Harris is pitching extremely well at the moment, and he has faced off against some loaded offenses in the Tampa Bay Rays and Houston Astros. It won’t get any easier today against the surging Philadelphian Phillies.

The Phillies have 12 of their last 14 games and took series from the Dodgers and Diamondbacks. They look for the sweep in Oakland, as they come in today with the eighth-highest batting average against left-handed pitchers in June.

James Outman More/Less 0.5 Total Bases

James Outman is at his best against righties. Luckily for him, he faces off against Logan Webb, whom he has already seen this season and registered two hits off of. Webb rarely pitches around hitters with his low walk rate, so Outman should see some great pitches to drive. He has recorded a hit in 32 of 66 games this season, but that is slightly skewed due to pinch-hitting and only recording one plate appearance in multiple games.

Marcell Ozuna More/Less 1.5 Total Bases

Marcell Ozuna against a righties is the spot to target. He will take on Chase Anderson of the Colorado Rockies in Atlanta, where Ozuna has gone below this projection in 19 of 32 games. Ozuna is batting below .200 against righties and will most likely see Anderson twice, as he bats in the six-hole today.
