Underdog Fantasy MLB Picks - Best Picks & Plays for July 2: Power Up With Javier Baez & Rowdy Tellez
We have an entire day of baseball and a fun MLB DFS slate beginning at 4:05 pm EST. There are a lot of fantastic matchups to exploit on Underdog Fantasy today. I really love the hitting props today considering we have the likes of Kris Bubic and Bryse Wilson on the mound opposing some of these offenses.

Now let’s dive into the top MLB daily picks and MLB player props for Underdog Fantasy tonight!
Javier Báez OVER 1.5 total bases
Death, taxes, Javier Báez against left-handed pitching. That’s been Baez’s MO his entire career and despite his slow start to 2022, this season has been no different. Against southpaws, he’s batting .361 with a .423 wOBA this year. Throughout his career, he’s slashed .296/.349/.541 with a .245 ISO, and a .371 wOBA.
Baez faces off against Kris Bubic, who has looked awful for most of 2022. He has a 7.45 ERA and righties are batting .273 against him this season. They’ve also notched a .334 wOBA and a 35.3% hard-hit rate against Bubic. I love where Baez has been lately, hitting .354, four home runs, and a 1.130 OPS over the final 12 games of June.
Rowdy Tellez OVER 1.5 total bases
With one swing of the bat, Rowdy Tellez is going to go over this total. He’s hitting EVERYTHING out of the park right now, notching six home runs over his last 10 games. In fact, he only has seven hits over his previous 10 games, and all seven hits he’s notched seven extra-base hits. He’s hit right-handed pitching extremely well this season notching a .861 OPS, .285 ISO, and a .364 wOBA.
He squares off Bryse Wilson who is being absolutely torched by left-handed hitters this year. They’re batting .393 with an OPS north of 1.050 and a .446 wOBA against Wilson this year. Wilson has allowed seven earned runs in back-to-back starts and has allowed six or more earned in three of his last four starts. Love this spot for Tellez.
Other play(s) I like;
- Jesse Winker OVER 6.5 fantasy points
- Martín Pérez OVER 4.0 strikeouts
