MLB PrizePicks Player Predictions: Friday (6/16)

As we hit mid-June, the better teams in the league are starting to separate themselves from the pack, while the worst teams in the league are already looking toward 2024. All 30 teams are in action today, beginning with the Baltimore Orioles and Chicago Cubs at 2:20 PM. Of the 15 games, we’re most looking forward to seeing last year’s NL Cy Young winner, one red-hot pitcher, and one red-hot hitter.
