MLB PrizePicks Player Predictions: Saturday (4/29)

In my debut BettingPros PrizePicks article, we’re looking to start off hot. Saturday represents an extremely unique 17-game slate, including two doubleheaders and the kickoff of the 2023 Mexico City Series. Keep a sharp eye out for player props on the latter, as the Giants/Padres run line has been pumped to a staggering 15 (!!) since it opened at 8.5 on Friday. PrizePicks does not have any players from this game listed yet, but they would become extremely interesting targets when/if some lines come out. The ball should be flying out of the yard in Mexico City.

Saturday’s Best MLB PrizePicks Player Predictions

Here are some props we like for Saturday’s slate that have already been posted.

Reid Detmers Under 7.0 Pitcher Strikeouts

Detmers has yet to exceed the seven-strikeout plateau in any of his four appearances thus far, and he will now be facing a Milwaukee lineup striking out at the seventh-lowest rate across the MLB. The southpaw’s longest outing this season lasted just 6 1/3 innings, and Phil Nevin has not hesitated to pull the young slinger at the first sign of trouble. It is also apparent that the Angels want to keep Detmers’ long-term health intact, as he has not surpassed 97 pitches thrown in a game to this point. Seven strikeouts are a high total for any pitcher, and there are too many variables for Detmers tonight.</p.
