MLB Underdog Fantasy Top Picks May 25

Thairo Estrada, San Francisco Giants – OVER 1.5 Hits+Runs+RBI

It hasn’t been confirmed yet, but it looks like Julio Teheran will be getting the start tonight for the Milwaukee Brewers. Yep, the same guy who hasn’t pitched in the major leagues since 2021 and had a 10.05 ERA in his last full season as a starter (2020). Maybe Teheran surprises us all and turns back the clock, but let’s fade him tonight against the San Francisco Giants. The player prop we’ll target features Thairo Estrada, who’s batting .309 this season while being one of San Fran’s more consistent hitters. Estrada has a .300 BA over the past seven games with four runs scored and three RBI in this span. He’s gone over 1.5 combined hits+runs+RBI in six of the past seven games as well. Estrada usually hits near the top of the Giants lineup, which helps in the runs scored and RBI departments. 

Logan Gilbert, Seattle Mariners – OVER 7.0 Strikeouts

We all know the Oakland Athletics’ offense is bad this year, so let’s target the matchup with Logan Gilbert tonight. This strikeout prop is a tad high, but we should still expect plenty of punchouts from the Seattle Mariners starter. The Athletics have the MLB’s highest strikeout rate against right-handed pitching this season at 26.4%, along with a poor .285 wOBA and .212 BA vs. righties. Over the past two weeks, those numbers are even worse with a 28.0% K rate, .239 wOBA, and .177 BA against right-handers. As for Gilbert, he boasts a career-best 30.6% strikeout rate this season and has found new swing-and-miss success with an added splitter pitch. The Mariners’ righty is averaging seven strikeouts per start with a 10.9 K/9 rate. He’s struck out seven or more in five of nine starts, including nine and 10 punchouts in two of his last three outings.
