For the last 14 months I have shared my sports betting tips and plays on my Twitter page @shou_in. I am incredibly thankful for the platform Pickswise has now allowed me. I update my record in my Twitter bio daily and am more than willing to answer any questions or provide help through direct messaging.
Read below to see the props I am eyeing up on Saturday’s MLB slate.
Andrew Heaney (LAD) under 2.5 earned runs allowed (-130)
I will begin with the worries that this play has. The weather in this game is one of the better hitting environments on today’s slate. With temperatures well into the 90s and wind blowing out this play has an additional element of concern. I will also point out that Kansas City has hit much better against left-handed pitching in the last month. While they have the league’s 2nd highest AVG against left-handers in that stretch, I do see signs of regression. They have the league’s 2nd highest BABIP during that span at .346. Their season long BABIP against left-handers is .293 and they should regress closer to that number soon given the subtractions of contact hitters in Andrew Benintendi and Whit Merrifield. It isn’t like they are hitting the ball extremely hard either, ranking just 18th in isolated power and hard-hit rate in the last 30 days. I do like the young core they have in Bobby Witt, Vinnie Pasquantino, MJ Melendez, and Nick Pratto, but they are still young and inconsistent as a whole. Despite their solid numbers they have still failed to score 3 or more earned runs off 3 of the last 4 left-handed starters they have faced.
