What’s up friends, welcome in to Leading Off right here on FantasyPros MLB. I am Chris Welsh, joined by Joe Orrico. Joey P is out today, and it happens to be the stupidest holiday in all the land. Nothing dumber on the planet. Our peak idiocy: April 1st. April Fool’s Day.
Anyway, we’ve got a lot to cover today, including a pair of Hard Rock Best Bets. Let’s get into it.
Joe Orrico’s Hard Rock Bet of the Day: Gavin Williams Over 5.5 Strikeouts (+105)
Yeah, it’s a little bit daunting betting somebody against the Dodgers, but I am taking Gavin Williams for over 5.5 strikeouts. He had seven in his first game of the season against the Mariners. No slouch lineup there, albeit not the Dodgers, but I think Williams really seemed to unlock something in the second half of last season. He was great in the second half, but I think there is another level he can reach with the strikeouts.
We saw it in the first game of the season. I think we’ll continue to see that tonight. He just needs six strikeouts to hit the over here. And you’re getting it at plus money as well.
My Hard Rock Bet of the Day is Gavin Williams over 5.5Ks.
Chris Welsh’s Hard Rock Bet of the Day: Royals ML (+100)
There might be a little bit of weather to monitor – we’re going to have to pay attention to it.
But I love this spot. Royals moneyline at +100 against the Twins. Joe Ryan is on the mound, which I think is the reason why the Twins are put in a spot where the Royals are plus money at home. I love the Royals offense. I think they’re going to get to Joe Ryan tonight.
And if the weather holds, I like Royals moneyline at +100 for my Hard Rock Bet of the Day.
