This article is part of our PrizePicks MLB series.
These are some of the best baseball days of the season! We have every team in action and are even treated to a doubleheader between the Cubs and Brewers. That means we get a full allotment of baseball games to take in, and it leaves us with a ton of options on PrizePicks. That's why I have two hitting and two pitching options after posting a 2-2 record last week. I am now 46-25-2 for the season, so let's add to that record here!

Francisco Lindor, NYM at WAS: More Than 1.5 Hits+Runs+RBI (vs. Jake Irvin)
It's always funny to see someone get completely blasted by the NY media when they're in a slump and then get no credit when they get out of it. Everyone knows how bad Lindor was a month ago, but he's been scorching hot over the last week. The perennial All-Star has a multi-hit game in five straight fixtures, posting a .619 AVG, 1.190 SLG and 1.843 OPS in that span. That's obviously not sustainable, but we can't fade Lindor in this matchup.
Let's start with the BvP numbers for Lindor, who owns a .375 AVG, .688 SLG and 1.053 OPS in 16 at-bats against Irvin. That's no surprise since Lindor has a .346 OBP and .845 OPS against righties this year, while Irvin has a 6.78 ERA and 1.65 WHIP since May 30. We didn't even mention that he's been moved to the leadoff spot, and that gives him even more chances to clear this prop.
Teoscar Hernandez, LAD at COL: More Than 9.5 Fantasy Score (vs. Austin Gomber)
We had to get a taste of this Dodgers lineup in Coors Field. This is one of the highest-scoring teams playing in the highest-scoring park against one of the worst pitchers on this slate. That's a recipe for a tasty dish, with Gomber generating a 6.75 ERA and 1.61 WHIP in a disastrous season. He's also got a 7.11 ERA and 1.64 WHIP at home while failing to record a quality start in five straight starts against LA.
There are a ton of tantalizing options in this Dodgers lineup, but we're going to ride Hernandez here. This former All-Star has slaughtered southpaws throughout his career, collecting a .293 AVG and .893 OPS against them since 2023. Those numbers are above a .300 AVG and .950 OPS this year, while Teo has tallied four dingers over his last 10 outings.
Hunter Greene, CIN at LAA; More Than 6.5 Strikeouts
This prop might be a bit lower than we're used to because Greene just made his return to the rotation last week. The good news is that he had a full rehab assignment, leading to Greene getting to 85 pitches in his most recent start. This righty threw six scoreless innings against an elite Phillies lineup in that return to action and could creep close to 100 pitches here.
That gem against Philly is no surprise since Greene has a 2.47 ERA, 0.93 WHIP and 10.8 K/9 rate in what's developing into a career year. That brilliant K rate has been even higher in the past, but Greene should flirt with double-digit strikeouts against LA. The Angels have a 26.1 percent team K rate, which is the worst mark in baseball.
Jacob Lopez, ATH at MIN: More Than 5.5 Strikeouts
Lopez had one terrible two-start stretch earlier in the season, but he's been one of the best pitchers in the AL outside of that. Even with those two duds, Lopez has a 3.30 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 10.9 K/9 rate this year. He's also gone four straight starts without allowing a run while posting a 0.83 WHIP and 10.5 K/9 rate in that span.
We also love that Lopez gets to pitch on the road because all of these A's starters have struggled in Sacramento. That shouldn't be an issue in Minnesota, facing a Twins team that traded away half of its roster at the trade deadline. That's why they rank 22nd in wOBA and 23rd in runs scored while posting one of the worst K rates since the deadline.
