PrizePicks

Spencer Strider OVER 7.0 Pitcher Strikeouts

Spencer Strider might not win the Cy Young this season, but he is easily going to finish with the most strikeouts. The Nationals, while being one of the hardest teams to strike out on the season, have been more strikeout prone in recent days. Strider faced the Nats in his first start of the year and struck out nine batters. He has gone over seven strikeouts in five out of his last six starts.

Lance Lynn OVER 5.0 Hits Allowed

Lance Lynn started his Dodgers tenure with a few impressive performances but he has tailed off in his past few starts. Over his last five appearances, Lynn has averaged seven hits allowed per game. The Giants will be desperate to win this game to stay afloat in the wild card race. Doing so would give them the series split against their in-state rivals. Lynn has allowed 52 hits in 52 innings pitched since arriving in Los Angeles.

Underdog Fantasy

Max Muncy OVER 0.5 Batter Walks

Max Muncy ranks in the 95th percentile in walk rate this season. Despite barely being over the Mendoza line, Muncy has been a crucial contributor in this Dodgers lineup. The Giants will be going with a bullpen game, something they’ve led the league in. Ryan Walker will get the start and he is a right-hander. If he gets to Muncy, Max has a 20% walk rate against right-handed pitching this year.

Ozzie Albies OVER 1.5 Total Bases

The Braves will be taking on the Nationals and Joan Adon, who has struggled in September. In three starts this month, Adon has allowed 23 hits and 11 runs. Albies might not get the spotlight due to his teammates’ individual successes, but his numbers are almost as impressive with 32 home runs and 104 RBIs, which puts him behind only Matt Olson on the team. The switch-hitting second baseman is on a nine game hitting streak with 18 hits over that stretch.
