Tuesday’s Best MLB PrizePicks Player Predictions
Joey Gallo is 0-3 in his career against Chicago White Sox starter Michael Kopech. Additionally, he has been held hitless in his last two games and is batting just .236 on the season. Yet, before his brief slump, Gallo had a five-game hitting streak.
Kopech has an ERA of 7.01 and a WHIP of 1.71. Gallo may not have a hit against the pitcher yet, but that is simply from a lack of plate appearances. Look for him to record his first hit and maybe more tonight.
Nico Hoerner is batting .323 this season and is in the midst of a seven-game hitting streak. So why go against a hot bat? Because the bat actually hasn't been all that hot. During his seven-game hitting streak, Hoerner is 7-26 and has just one extra-base hit.
You have to go all the way back to April 22 to find the last time that Hoerner recorded multiple hits in the same game. He also has very little history against Trevor Williams. Hoerner has faced him only once, and Williams got the best of him.
Matt Strahm has 31 strikeouts in 22.1 innings pitched this season. He has struck out at least five batters in four of his five starts, and he has struck out six or more in three of his last four.
Tonight, he will face the Los Angeles Dodgers. Though the Dodgers have won four in a row, they have been striking out quite a bit. They have the second-most strikeouts in the league. During their four-game winning streak, they have allowed three of their opponent's four starting pitchers to strike out at least six. Look for that trend to continue tonight against a strikeout-throwing pitcher.
