Kyle Tucker Higher Than 8.5 Fantasy Points

• Pick ’em Payout: 1.0x

Kyle Tucker has been quietly crushing lately, and the matchup lines up perfectly for another very productive outing. He faces the dominant Dodgers, and while that’s never a pushover, Tucker is in great form. He scored 35 FPs just last night, going 2-for-3 with a homer and 2 RBIs — and that was against the Dodgers.

He’s now got on base safely in 4 of his last 5 games, including 2 multi-hit performances and 6 RBIs over that stretch. He’s even put up 2 dingers in those games as well. Plus, he’s shown power and patience — 2 things that rack up points fast in Underdog’s scoring system.

With a 1.67x multiplier on a first-inning run and 1.29x on 1-3 inning H+R+RBI, there’s even room to add some correlation plays if you’re feeling a little bolder. But straight up with an even payout, Tucker at 8.5 fantasy points looks like a bet you want on your board tonight because this one will hit and we feel good about that.

Maikel Garcia Higher Than 1.5 Hits + Runs + RBIs

• Pick ’em Payout: 0.92x

The Royals get a dream matchup against the Rockies, who sit next to last in team ERA with 4.93 and near the bottom in just about every defensive category. It’s a green-light spot for hitters, and Maikel Garcia is trending in the right direction for this matchup.

He’s coming off a 2-hit, 2-run game vs Colorado, and the Royals as a team are clicking with 17 hits over their last 2 games. Garcia’s got a hit in 4 of his last 5, several walks, and he’s showing signs of heating up.

Colorado has given up 210 hits in just 22 games, the 4th-most in the MLB. They’re also allowing the 2nd-highest OBA in baseball with a .282. So betting on Garcia to rack up at least 2 combined hits, runs, or RBIs here feels like a low bar to get across.

Jeremy Peña Higher Than 0.5 Stolen Bases

• Pick ’em Payout: 4.29x

There’s massive value in this play and that’s what we love about it.

Jeremy Peña has 5 stolen bases in this early season and he’s on track to have his best year on the basepaths. And it’s not a fluke — the Astros have already swiped 20 bags on the season, which ranks among the league leaders. He’s even outrunning Jose Altuve so far.

Tonight, they face the Blue Jays, with Alejandro Kirk behind the plate. Kirk’s pop time isn’t what we’d call elite, and Houston knows it. They’ve been aggressive all year and won’t hesitate to send Peña if he gets on the bags.

He’s got the speed, he’s getting on base, and the matchup leans in his favor.

With an insanely juicy 4.29x multiplier, this is one of the highest-upside props of the slate. He only needs a single swipe to cash. If you’re looking for a difference-maker with some serious upside, Peña’s your guy.

Wilmer Flores Lower Than 0.5 Runs

• Pick ’em Payout: 1.43x

This is a perfect storm for a lower play, and it’s easy to see why. Wilmer Flores, despite how he’s come out, has only scored 1 run in 6 games and has gone hitless in 4 of those. The Giant’s offense is struggling, and tonight they face Freddy Peralta, who’s been borderline dominant.

Peralta holds a 1.91 ERA, has struck out 33 in 28.1 innings, and is keeping hitters off the basepaths with a WHIP under at just 1.02. Simply put, he’s not letting anyone get on, let alone letting them score.

Flores doesn’t run, doesn’t walk too much, and relies heavily on power production to get on the board. That’s not something we’re banking on against Peralta. Take the under on 0.5 runs at 1.43x the payout, and trust the numbers here.
