Since I know these are my first posted plays this year, I’m going to preface my picks by saying my picks/units are as follows:
0-3 straight up picks
1-2 two pick parlays
-2.28 units for the year.
Parlay that hit was yesterday Cavan Biggio to get a hit, paired with Michael Brantley to get an RBI.
As for today...
Joey Votto for an RBI (+150). Red hot to start the year and had an RBI in two of the three meetings against Lester last year. I think this is a gift price.
Mike Montgomery over 3.5 strikeouts (+118). Two games against Tigers last year:
Game one: 7IP, four hits, 12 strikeouts, no walks, no ER.
Game two: 5 2/3IP, six hits, five strikeouts, one walk, one ER.
Given the amount of strikeouts there and the strikeouts Tigers have had in the first three, worth a shot for +value in my opinion.
Two pick parlay:
Ramon Laureano to get an RBI, plus Royals to win (+349):
Laureano hit against Canning in three games last year. Hit a home run off him in two of those games and got an RBI off the bullpen in the other. Given Ohtani no showing yesterday, have to think this is a good spot for Laureano.
Fulmer for Detroit got rocked in his last start against the Royals. It seems he is going to be an opener now (coming back from Tommy John surgery). Given Montgomery’s effectiveness and the Tigers strikeout rate to start the year, I give Royals at least 55% chance to win as a dog here.
