Wednesday's Best MLB PrizePicks Player Predictions

This season: 55-31-3

Eduardo Rodriguez Over 6 Strikeouts

In one of the funnier moments of the trade deadline, E-Rod decided he did not want to pitch for a contender. The Dodgers and Tigers had a deal in place before he exercised his no-trade clause to prevent it from happening. He definitely did it because he has eyes on this matchup against Pittsburgh, where he can pad his stats.

The Pirates have a pathetic 59 wRC+ (2nd worst) and 26.3% K% (t-5th highest) versus lefties over the last 30 days. Rodriguez is in the top 93% in xFIP, 81% in BB%, 80% in K%, and 76% in CSW% among all starters. He has recorded six or more strikeouts in nine of his last 12 starts and should be able to eclipse this line in this contest.
