PrizePicks MLB Player Projections: Back Cristian Javier

Bobby Witt Jr. More/Less 1.5 Bases

The Kansas City Royals and Bobby Witt Jr. will take on the Detroit Tigers tonight. The Tigers will start RHP Michael Lorenzen who has gone 2-2 with a 3.44 ERA this season. With Witt’s bases projection all the way up at 1.5, it makes sense to fade him in this spot. Witt’s OPS nosedives to .645 when he faces right-handed pitching. This pick has an expected win rate of 56%!

Rowdy Tellez More/Less 0.5 Bases

The Milwaukee Brewers will visit the Houston Astros tonight. Milwaukee’s first baseman, Rowdy Tellez, owns a total bases projection of only 0.5. Tellez will take on Houston’s RHP Cristian Javier. Tellez owns an impressive OPS of .888 against right-handed pitching this year. He should find a way to get on base at least once tonight, and this pick has an expected win rate of 55%.

Joc Peterson More/Less 0.5 Bases

The San Francisco Giants will take on the Minnesota Twins tonight. Minnesota plans to start RHP Bailey Ober, who owns an elite 1.78 ERA but a much less elite 3.63 xERA. Pederson owns an impressive .866 OPS against right-handed pitching and is a sharp player to back on the PrizePicks projection markets tonight.

Cristian Javier More/Less 6.5 Strikeouts

Although Tellez is a smart player to back in tonight’s Astros-Brewers matchup, Cristian Javier owns a strikeout projection that is a bit too low. Javier has recorded more than six strikeouts in three of his last five starts and is averaging 6.6 K’s per start. He should have more than 6.5 strikeouts tonight 53% of the time, per OddsShopper’s PrizePicks Entry Builder.
