PrizePicks MLB Player Projections: Miles Mikolas Gets Strikeout-Prone Giants (April 27)

April 27, 2023 | 9:55 AM by Eytan Shander
Let's look at MLB overnight odds to find top bets for Monday, including Athletics-Cardinals, Marlins-Astros and Angels-Rangers MLB bets...

Thursday’s MLB schedule offers a promising lineup that presents a great chance to profit from the current PrizePicks projections. To help you make informed choices, we have integrated the OddsShopper’s PrizePicks Builder to identify three picks for a 5x entry. Let’s take a closer look at some of the top MLB player projections for PrizePicks on April 27.

PrizePicks MLB Player Projections | April 27

Tyler Mahle More Than 5.5 Strikeouts

Mahle has a solid strikeout rate and is facing a Kansas City team that should offer very little resistance. With Minnesota’s bats likely to be active, Mahle should be more aggressive, which bodes well for his strikeout total. His 25.3% strikeout rate and low walk rate make him a reliable play, unlike Zack Greinke, who doesn’t walk batters but gets hit hard. Additionally, Kansas City’s lineup includes players like M.J. Melendez, Franmil Reyes, Michael Massey and Hunter Dozier, who are prone to striking out at least once per game. All these factors suggest that Mahle is likely to surpass the 5.5-strikeout mark in his upcoming game.

Miles Mikolas More Than 4.5 Strikeouts

Mikolas will be facing the San Francisco Giants, a team that has a few players who strike out frequently. Mikolas is also likely to pitch with the lead, which should help him be more aggressive and increase his chances of striking out more batters. Although he doesn’t have a particularly strong strikeout rate, the matchup against the Giants could work in his favor. Additionally, OddsShopper’s PrizePicks Builder suggests that Mikolas is one of the best picks on the market for this prop. Given these factors, it seems reasonable to expect Mikolas to surpass the 4.5 strikeout mark in his upcoming game.

Zack Greinke Mahle Fewer Than 3.5 Strikeouts

Greinke is not going to be able to stay in the game for very long, making it difficult for him to get more than 3.5 strikeouts. OddsShopper likes the market value on Greinke striking out fewer than 3.5 Twins, giving it a 54% win expectancy. This entry also correlates a bit with the Mahle pick above, increasing the value.

Put them together and these three picks lead to a 5x payout with a 16% chance of hitting.
