Looking for the best Underdog Fantasy MLB picks today? Our Underdog MLB Pick'em predictions for Wednesday, September 9th, spotlights two MLB player props worth targeting on today’s action-packed MLB slate. The lines for Rafael Devers’  hits+runs+RBI and Jake Bennett’s pitching outs both come with clear situational edges backed by current form, matchup data, and recent trends.

If you are building your Underdog Pick'em entry for today’s MLB slate, here is the full case for where we land on both and why the MLB DFS projections set up the way they do.

 

 

 

What are the Best Underdog MLB Pick'em Picks Today?

Today’s two best Underdog Fantasy MLB Pick'em plays are Rafael Devers over 1.5 hits+runs+RBI and Jake Bennett over 16.5 pitching outs. Both props are supported by matchup data, current streaks, and favorable line construction heading into an action-packed day of baseball. Read below for the complete analysis on each.

Rafael Devers HIGHER THAN 1.5 Hits + Runs + RBI

Devers has hit safely in 14 of his last 15 games, slashing .421/.522/.982 during this impressive run. Since August 1, he’s hitting .417 with a 1.450 OPS against RHP with more walks (21) than strikeouts (16).

His opponent today, Andre Pallante, has a 2.41 ERA in 41 IP since the All-Star break, but his xERA of 4.20 and 3.95 xFIP indicate a good bit of luck for the St. Louis RHP. He’s served up a .382 SLG to left-handed hitters on the year. As a team, the Giants have a .725 OPS against RHP over the last two weeks, and with the Giants stacking the lineup with lefties today, I like Devers chances of coming up with runners on base.

 

 

 

Jake Bennett LOWER THAN 16.5 Pitching Outs

Despite a 4.50 ERA over his last eight starts, he has a 3.48 xERA, 3.57 FIP, and 3.68 xFIP. He’s also surpassed this line in all but two of those eight starts. He has a solid 1.09 WHIP at home this year, and over the last 30 days, this Angels team is slashing just .205/.274/.297 against southpaws! Oh, the Angels also sport the lowest wOBA and wRC+ during that stretch, too! 

The other good thing here is that during the aforementioned time period, the Angels have the seventh-lowest walk rate and ninth-lowest strikeout rate, which are two occurrences that can quickly escalate a pitcher’s pitch count. Some weather in the area and winds blowing out, but as long as the rain holds off, Bennett should be able to get through 6 IP.
