Nestor Cores PrizePicks MLB Pick: More Than 6.0 Strikeouts

 

No team in baseball strikes out more against left-handed pitching than the Boston Red Sox and guess who they face tonight? Yep, that is Yankees southpaw Nestor Cortes. 

On the year the Red Sox have a 28% strikeout rate against lefties but over the past two weeks that number has jumped up to 32%.

Yes, Cortes is not considered a strikeout artist by any stretch of the imagination but there is something this man likes about pitching in his home ballpark as he owns a 26% strikeout rate and a K/9 of 8.7 which are both higher than his overall seasonal averages.

Given the Red Sox high strikeout rate against southpaws and Cortes ability to dominate in Yankee Stadium, this is looking like a perfect match.

 

Elly De La Cruz PrizePicks MLB Pick: More Than 1.5 Total Bases

How about we keep riding the hot streak of one of the leagues most exciting players who has a fantastic matchup tonight?

Elly De La Cruz takes on Tigers righty Reese Olson this evening. Olson has really struggled against left-handed hitters over his last five starts, allowing a .426 batting average, .611 slugging percentage and a .465 wOBA.

We need just two total bases out of De La Cruz who, over the past two weeks has 10 extra base hits.

Total Multiplier - 3.5x
