⚾ Kyle Schwarber (Phillies) Over 1.5 H+R+RBI ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Best odds: -105 via ESPN BET (bet $10 to win $9.52)

Schwarber and the Phillies take on Blue Jays starter Kevin Gausman, who, to his credit, has been much better this season than he was last year. His fastball velocity is up, and he's striking out more opposing batters while issue fewer walks. However, his CSW is still a very low 27.3%, well down from the 30% range he was in during his prime.

When you combine his relative inability to miss bats with a career-low ground-ball rate, things start to look dicey for Gausman tonight. And who better to take advantage of that than the Phillies' best hitter, Schwarber?

In fact, Schwarber profiles as today's best fantasy baseball batter, and we featured him in our home run predictions today.

The slugger's Statcast page is covered in red, and I expect him to hit a rocket or two against Gausman and the Jays tonight.

Andrew believes a math-based approach is the best way to enjoy long-term success in sports betting, and he’s spent the better part of the last year fine-tuning his own process for MLB, NBA, and NFL picks. Andrew uses eight different sportsbooks to find the best odds available and various projection models to gather as much information as he can. His most used sportsbooks are bet365, FanDuel, and theScore Bet. When it comes to daily projection models, he regularly references NumberFire across all sports, as it’s one of the best free tools available. In terms of which daily markets Andrew attacks, he almost exclusively bets on pitcher strikeouts for baseball. When the winter rolls around, you’ll see him providing more variety when it comes to the NBA (points, assists, rebounds) and NFL (almost any offensive-based player prop). He used these tools to go +150 units in 2023. Andrew is also a passionate fantasy sports player. He’s played fantasy football, fantasy Premier League, and fantasy baseball for the last decade.
