Tuesday’s Best MLB Sleeper Picks Player Predictions

Sleeper Record: 25-17

Jose Quintana Over 5.5 Strikeouts (1.78x)

Let’s go back to the well to fade Jose Quintana for a third start in a row. He has struck out four batters in each start this season and has never been known as one to strike out many bats. He owns a 7.95 K/9 for his career, after all. The veteran left-hander is under this line in 27 of his last 38 starts (71%) since 2021. He ranks in the sixth percentile in swinging strike rate and third percentile in CSW% so far this season. Admittedly, the Pirates have struck out a ton against lefties this season, but given the hit rate and advanced numbers, this is a play to the under.
