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.
Framber Valdez (HOU) to record a win: yes (-110)
Framber Valdez is one of my favorite pitchers in MLB. The Astros left-hander has compiled a 10-4 record with a 2.87 ERA and 1.15 WHIP this season. His advanced stats are supportive of this success as the 28-year-old has a 74th percentile xERA. His 37th percentile walk rate is always the main concern with him, but he does a tremendous job getting out of jams. Valdez has a ground ball rate that sits 23.6% higher than league average thanks to his sinker, changeup, and curveball that each have vertical movement in the zone 3.3-6.9 inches more than average. Framber doesn’t get hit often with his 63rd percentile xBA, and when he does get hit it isn’t hard. He ranks 89th percentile in both xSLG and barrel rate, and as a result has only allowed 7 home runs in 135 IP this year.
