We’re delving into the final few games of the MLB regular season, so be careful with who you target in the player prop market. We have seen teams be cautious with their starters, pulling them at the sight of anything wrong. Let’s end the week on a high note. Here are three of my favorite player predictions via Sleeper this Friday, September 20.

MLB Sleeper Picks Player Predictions
Sleeper Record: 210-125 (62.9%)
The Yankees ace didn’t have his best stuff last start against Boston, but I’m willing to bank on him finding his groove again facing Oakland. They are eighth in K% (25.3%) against righties over the past 30 days, and third overall on the season. Cole has found seven or more punchouts in eight of his last 12 starts.
Since returning from injury, Musgrove has been on a roll, particularly when it comes to strikeouts. He owns an impressive 31.2% K% across his last six starts, hitting at least six strikeouts in five of those six. Tonight he faces a youthful White Sox squad that he should have no issues carving up. They have the worst wRC+ (70) vs righties over the past 30 days.
JV hasn’t been at his absolute best, admittedly, but in this matchup, we could find flashes of the old Verlander we used to know. He faces the Angels who are 28th in wRC+ (81) and fifth in K% (26.5%) taking on righties over the past 30 days. Verlander typically turns it up a notch in October, so let’s take a swing to see if that form starts to build right before the playoffs.
