Over the last 60 right-handed hitters Jeffrey Springs has faced, opponents are elevating the baseball at nearly an 80% clip. 80!

A couple of fun Silly Goose Parlays to kick off this fully loaded Wednesday night slate. A few bats I'm looking to back, along with a handful of struggling arms I'm fading to continue their recent woes.

Check out my favorite MLB picks below.

Phillies vs Reds SGP: Philly's stars shine!

I am very high on the Philadelphia Phillies this evening, especially their two slugging left-handed bats, Kyle Schwarber and Bryce Harper

In Schwarber's last 60 plate appearances against right-handed pitching, he is batting .320 with a .560 SLG, .977 OPS, and a hard-hit rate north of 74%. On the other side, Harper during that stretch is batting .320 as well, with a .607 SLG and .957 OPS. He also owns a 95% arsenal coverage against all of Chase Burns' pitches. 

Burns has struggled against left-handed hitters in his recent outings. Over his last 60 left-handed batters faced, he is allowing a 70.4% elevation rate, a 10.8% barrel rate, and an expected slugging percentage of .501.

I am expecting a lot of production from the Phillies offense this evening, starting with their two stars.

Rockies vs Dodgers SGP: Struggles for Sasaki!

I am very high on the Colorado Rockies this evening, as they bring an elite-rated offense to the table, according to Batters-Box. They have nine hitters in prime spots against Roki Sasaki. The Los Angeles Dodgers right-hander has struggled all season, and his recent form has been even worse. Over his last three outings, he owns an 8.53 ERA, 5.61 xERA, and 1.74 WHIP.

On the other side, adding Shohei Ohtani for some reverse correlation feels right, especially with how well he has been swinging the bat and seeing the baseball lately. At +470, this should be one of the more exciting sweats of the day.

Athletics vs Tigers SGP: Ding, ding, dingler!

Detroit Tigers catcher Dillon Dingler has been seeing the ball extremely well over the last few weeks, posting a .510 SLG and .827 OPS while generating a 54% hard-hit rate and 71.8% elevation rate against the last 60 left-handed pitchers he has faced.

Athletics starter Jeffrey Springs has struggled in recent outings, especially against right-handed bats. Over the last 60 right-handed hitters he has faced, opponents are elevating the baseball at nearly an 80% clip, setting up well for Detroit's right-handed power.

With the Athletics offense ice cold over the last few weeks, the Tigers feel like the right side to back, especially with how much Springs has been struggling.
