MLB PrizePicks Today: Target Both Sides of Orioles-Rays
Anthony Santander Less Than 6.5 Fantasy Points
Santander faces a tough matchup against pitcher Tyler Glasnow of the Tampa Bay Rays, who is projected for a strong 3.04 FIP. With a 3.7-run implied total for the Orioles, Santander may find it challenging to exceed the PrizePicks projection set at 6.5 fantasy points. OddsShopper projections indicate that Santander goes less than this number approximately 63% of the time.
Adley Rutschman Less Than 6.5 Fantasy Points
Rutschman faces the same formidable pitcher in Glasnow and is also projected to go for less than the PrizePicks projection set at 6.5 fantasy points about 61% of the time. As a switch-hitter, Rutschman will have a lefty-righty matchup, but facing a strong pitcher like Glasnow in a game with a 3.7-run implied total for the Orioles may limit Rutschman’s fantasy production.
Cody Bellinger Less Than 7.5 Fantasy Points
Bellinger faces Steven Matz of the St. Louis Cardinals in a lefty-lefty matchup. With a modest 4.5-run implied total for the Cubs, this is not a strong offensive environment for more plays, especially when the PrizePicks projection is up to 7.5 fantasy points. OddsShopper projections indicate that Bellinger goes less than this mark around 59% of the time. Despite Bellinger’s recent improvement in form, the unfavorable matchup may limit his fantasy production.

Carlos Correa Less Than 6.5 Fantasy Points
Correa faces George Kirby of the Seattle Mariners, who is projected as a high-end pitcher with a 3.66 FIP. With a 3.5-run implied total for the Astros, Correa may face difficulties in generating fantasy points. OddsShopper projections indicate that Correa goes for less than the PrizePicks projection set at 6.5 fantasy points approximately 59% of the time. Considering the challenging matchup and the pitcher-friendly ballpark, betting on the less for Correa’s fantasy points is sensible.
Wander Franco More Than 7.0 Fantasy Points
Franco goes against Kyle Gibson of the Baltimore Orioles in a lefty-righty matchup. With a 4.8-run implied total for the Rays, Franco has a promising opportunity to generate fantasy points. OddsShopper projections indicate that Franco gets more than 7.0 fantasy points around 60% of the time. As a talented hitter, Franco has the potential to deliver a strong fantasy performance tonight.
Alex Bregman More Than 7.0 Fantasy Points
Bregman faces Hogan Harris of the Oakland Athletics in a righty-lefty matchup. With a 4.9-run implied total for the Astros, Bregman has a favorable environment to produce fantasy points. OddsShopper projections indicate that Bregman gets more than 7.0 fantasy points approximately 58% of the time. Given Bregman’s pedigree as a talented hitter, he has a good chance of delivering a solid fantasy performance in this matchup.
