Jac Caglianone Chalkboard MLB Pick: OVER 0.5 Hits

Many fantasy managers likely aren’t the happiest of folks, given that through 62 games this year, Caglianone has only eight home runs and 19 RBI. However, he is hitting .275 with a .348 OBP, and he is seeing a beach ball at the plate right now. Through the first two games of this series with Texas, he’s 7-for-9 with two home runs, four runs scored, and four RBI. Furthermore, since the calendar flipped to June, he’s slashing .538/.625/.962!

Caglianone and the Royals will take on Kumar Rocker, who has a 3.38 ERA over his last three starts, and with his 37.5 GB% during that time period, that doesn’t play well with strong winds blowing out today at Kauffman Stadium. For the year, Caglianone has a .799 OPS and .172 ISO against righties, and with winds blowing out today at home, I like Caglianone to get a hit or two this afternoon.

Edward Cabrera Chalkboard MLB Pick: OVER 1.5 Walks Allowed

Woah, a prop where we are going for the Rockies? Yes, that’s what is happening here! Cabrera has walked multiple batters in three of his last five starts, posting an 8.7% walk rate during that stretch. For the year, his walk rate on the road (11.5%) is nearly five percentage points higher than his walk rate at home (6.9%).

Now, taking a look at the Rockies, you’ll see that over the last two weeks, they have the fourth-highest walk rate in baseball at 11.1%! They are down at 8.5% over the last 30 days, so they’ve been more willing of late to take the free pass. Furthermore, the Rockies have an 8.9% walk rate on the year versus righties, compared to 6.3% against lefties, not to mention an 8.5% walk rate at home.

With Cabrera’s first-pitch strike rate below 50% over his last three outings, the hope is that he falls behind hitters and Colorado is content with taking the free pass.
