What’s going on, everybody? Welcome in to FantasyPros.
We’re back with another episode of Leading Off, where we break down the biggest headlines from around Major League Baseball.
We’ve got a couple of interesting news stories and notes to get through, along with our Hard Rock Best Bets for Tuesday night.
KC’s Best Bet: Otto Lopez Over 3 H+R+RBI (+150)
I’m sticking with the game in Miami, where I was originally going with Connor Norby. Instead, I’m taking Otto Lopez over 3 hits + runs + RBIs at +150.
Lopez had been in a bit of a slump, but he broke out in a big way Monday night against Zack Wheeler and the Phillies, going 3-5 with two RBI while also scoring two runs. At plus money, this number feels like a gift.
Orrico’s Best Bet: AZ-PIT Over 9.5 Runs (+115)
I’m taking the over 9.5 runs at +115 in the Diamondbacks vs. Pirates game.
Brandon Pfaadt has won each of his last five starts, but we talked yesterday about him as a potential sell candidate. During that stretch, he’s totaled just 14 strikeouts in five starts, and I think the regression is coming against a good Arizona offense.
On the other side is Bubba Chandler, who has been one of the biggest disappointments of the season.
With questions surrounding both starters, I’ll gladly take plus money on the over.
