Best Bet: Wilson over 0.5 runs (+115)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nThe A’s shortstop has taken the league by storm. He has the second-best batting average (.358) in MLB behind only Aaron Judge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Wilson also hardly strikes out, too. His 6.2% K-rate ranks in the 100th percentile, per Baseball Savant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With all that action on the basepath comes its fair share of runs. He has crossed home plate 40 times in 72 games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He hits second in the lineup on most nights, which is a premium spot to score runs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Luckily for Wilson and the other Athletics hitters, Luis Ortiz is set to take the mound for the Guardians.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ortiz has allowed 10 runs over his past two starts (10.2 innings pitched). He owns a 16th-percentile xERA (4.81) and allows a 49.0 hard-hit percentage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Key stat:<\/strong> Wilson has scored nine runs in his past 13 starts.<\/p>\n\n\n\nBest MLB picks<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Witt over 1.5 total bases (+120)<\/strong>: Witt’s stats haven’t been as incredible as they were last season, but he’s still one of the best hitters in the majors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n- He bats .284, which is great, but his advanced stats show he’s still had some bad ball luck.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
\n- His xBA (.306) ranks in the 95th percentile while his xSLG (.524) ranks in the 88th percentile.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Things are turning around during Witt’s current five-game hit streak, though. He has eight hits in 20 at-bats during that time with three doubles and two home runs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On Saturday, he’ll see Dylan Cease for the San Diego Padres. Cease is having a down year (4.69 ERA, 1.33 WHIP), and Witt has a good head-to-head history in this matchup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Royals’ star shortstop is 5-for-16 in his career vs. Cease (.313) with only one walk and three Ks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Walter over 17.5 outs (-112)<\/strong>: The Los Angeles Angels are struggling right now.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThey are tied with the Chicago White Sox for the worst batting average in baseball (.223) and have hit just .186 as a team over their last three games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That brings me to Walter, who’s been incredible since making his debut with the Astros.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- In three starts, the lefty has a 1.53 ERA and 0.91 WHIP.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
\n- His 2.73 FIP would rank sixth amongst all pitchers if he met the ranking requirements.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
He is 2-1 against this line, falling short in his debut (5.0 IP) despite throwing a shutout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Walter went exactly 6.0 innings in his next two starts against the Minnesota Twins and Guardians, who both have a better offence than the Angels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Plus, Houston will want Walter to work as long as possible. The Stros haven’t had an off day since June 2 and used nine relief pitchers combined in their last two games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He has a 19:1 strikeout-to-walk ratio, so he doesn’t waste any pitches. He should have the juice to work deep into this ball game if he keeps LA’s offence in check.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
