We have a lot of baseball taking place on Thursday evening and a lot of great match-ups, headlined of course by Coors Field as the Cubs travel to Colorado to take on the Rockies. It's Seiya Suzuki's firs time in Coors and he should LOVE his time there. But outside of Coors, there are plenty of great spots to attack! Let's take a look at a couple of my favorite MLB Player Props featured on Underdog Fantasy!

 

 

 

 

Sandy Alcantara OVER 5.5 strikeouts

Something clicked for Sandy Alcantara after the All-Star break in 2021 and he just started missing bats left and right. Before the break, he had a 21% K-rate and after the break, it sat at 27%. Dating back to last year, he hit this over in eight of his last 10 starts and now faces off against a Phillies offense that has looked good but has been vulnerable to the strikeout.

The Phillies have struck out the ninth most in the league at a 25.4% clip. Alcantara threw 83 pitches in his first start of ‘22, so we should see that extended a bit further and even potentially into the 90s. Alcantara has turned into a star and I agree with the -134 Vegas odds on the over!

 

 

Seiya Suzuki OVER 1.5 total bases

It’s Seiya Suzuki’s first time playing in Coors Field and it feels like it’s going to be special. He’s been special throughout the first few games of his career as he’s hitting .400 with an OPS over 1.400.

Coors Field yields the best offensive outputs and Vegas believes that to be true as the O/U sits at 11.5. This has been a top-five park to hit in for years upon years upon years and there’s nothing they can do in Colorado with how thin the air is.

Righties hit Kyle Freeland well last year, notching a .487 SLG% and a .350 wOBA. He had a 4.83 ERA at home, which was a full run higher than it was on the road. Righties had a 34.6% hard-hit rate against Freeland and it’s going to be hard for him to navigate this Cubs lineup, especially Suzuki.
