Friday’s Best MLB PrizePicks Player Predictions
This Season: 18-14
Freddie Freeman has been cold over the last couple of games. On April 18, he was batting .328. Now, his average is down to .281 after a 3-22 stretch. In the Los Angeles Dodgers' series against the Chicago Cubs, Freeman was held hitless in three of the four games.
Yet, with all of that in mind, PrizePicks has Freeman's total bases at 1.5 instead of 0.5. This feels like a way to bait bettors into taking the Under. Freeman has faced Pittsburgh Pirates starter Johan Oviedo just once, and he is 1-1 with a double. Against the Pirates’ current pitching staff, he is batting .384 in his career, which makes this a perfect spot for him to break out of a slump.
Bo Bichette has the 13th-best batting average in the MLB this season, and that's despite recording fewer than two hits in each of his last seven games. What makes this such a tough ask for Bichette is that he likely needs to get two hits to get this number. Only eight of his 28 hits have been for extra bases this season.
Bichette is going up against a pitcher he has never faced in Mike Clevinger. But he is due for a multi-hit game and is one of the rare hitters who may have an advantage over a pitcher he has never seen before.
Luis Garcia is coming off a 7.0-inning, nine-strikeout performance against the Toronto Blue Jays. Yet, this Tampa Bay Rays team is a very hard one to strike out. A lot of their success this season has come from striking out very little. They've gone down on pitches just 186 times this season.
Garcia can be overpowering if he can settle into the game. However, he has only pitched more than 5.0 innings once this season. When he throws five or fewer innings, he has stuck out more than four batters just once.
