Good afternoon to our loyal subscribers! We went 2-1 on newsletter picks yesterday, coming very close to a sweep. Our pick on Trevor Larnach was unfortunately a miss, but the only barely. He provided nearly all the offense for the paltry Twins’ lineup, and we won’t hesitate to keep trusting out analysis today. Our numbers for MLB picks are starting to accumulate, and that will only continue to improve.

9 out of last 10 over
Key Analysis
Nolan Schanuel appears to be settling into the season after a questionable start. He has the unique benefit of sharing a lineup with a healthy Mike Trout, which always lifts up the ancillary pieces like Schanuel. The Angels are off to a surprisingly strong start and this wager is a reasonable bet to expect it to continue.
Risk Factors
No starting pitcher announced for Texas yet
🎯 Paul Goldschmidt OVER 1.5 Hits Runs RBIs
Best Price: -120 on ESPNBet

How Has This Prop Performed?
2 out of last 3 over
4 out of last 5 over
7 out of last 10 over
Key Analysis
Goldy has started the season strong, often batting leadoff and helping the Yankees generate some offense around Aaron Judge. Similar to the appeal with Schanuel, hitters that are near superstars in the lineup tend to get better pitches to hit. This occurs because pitchers cannot afford to put runners on base ahead of major power hitters, forcing them to play more in the zone against inferior matchups. Look for Goldschmidt to get plenty of pitches to hit today.
Risk Factors
Facing competent starter in Michael Wacha
🎯 Michael Harris II UNDER 0.5 Runs
Best Price: -125 on Caesars

Recent Performance
Last Game: 1 run
Last 3-Game Average: 0.7 runs
Last 5-Game Average: 0.4 runs
Season Average: 03 runs
How Has This Prop Performed?

3 out of last 5 under
7 out of last 10 under
Key Analysis
Don’t let the runs over the weekend fool you - Harris II is off to a terrible start. He stumbled into a couple runs, but his individual numbers do not lie. He is barely above a .200 BA and is around a .550 OPS, which is about 200 points off of respectable. Atlanta is floundering and faces a tough matchup with Gausman today, making Harris II an appealing target.
Risk Factors
L3 trends look better for Harris than our usual picks
