Nathaniel Lowe Less Than 6.0 Fantasy Points

The Rangers are facing the Houston Astros, and Framber Valdez is on the mound, which poses a tough challenge for Lowe. With a projected FIP of 2.99 for Valdez and a lefty-lefty matchup for Lowe, the Rangers have a modest 3.6-run implied total. Considering Lowe’s average hitting ability, it is likely that will fall short of 6.0 fantasy points around 63% of the time. This makes the less an appealing choice.

Taylor Ward Less Than 7.0 Fantasy Points

Ward and his team are taking on the Detroit Tigers, with Michael Lorenzen on the mound. Lorenzen, a league-average pitcher, brings a projected FIP of 4.4 to this game. With a righty-righty matchup for Ward and a 4.1-run implied total for the Angels, his PrizePicks projection is set at 7.0 fantasy points. Given Ward’s performance history and the pitching matchup, the less seems like a favorable pick, as Ward earns less than 7.0 fantasy points around 60% of the time.

Spencer Torkelson Less Than 6.5 Fantasy Points

Torkelson is facing the Los Angeles Angels and pitcher Patrick Sandoval. Sandoval is projected for a solid FIP of 3.84, making him a challenging opponent for Torkelson. With a righty-lefty matchup for Torkelson and a 4.1-run implied total for the Tigers, his PrizePicks projection is set at 6.5 fantasy points. Considering Torkelson’s less-than-stellar hitting abilities and the pitching matchup, he falls short of 6.5 fantasy points around 60% of the time, making the less an enticing option.

Riley Greene Less Than 7.0 Fantasy Points

With a lefty-lefty matchup for Greene and a 4.1-run implied total for the Tigers, his PrizePicks projection is set at 7.0 fantasy points. Similar to Torkelson, Greene’s hitting abilities are not impressive, and the pitching matchup poses a challenge. As a result, Greene falls short of 7.0 fantasy points around 59% of the time.

Nico Hoerner Less Than 8.0 Fantasy Points

Nico Hoerner is facing the Chicago White Sox and pitcher Lance Lynn. With a righty-righty matchup for Hoerner and a 4.6-run implied total for the Cubs, his PrizePicks projection is set at 8.0  fantasy points. Lynn boasts a projected FIP of 3.84, which is solid, so Hoerner projects to fall short of 8.0 fantasy points around 59% of the time, making the less a favorable selection.

Elly De La Cruz Less Than 8.5 Fantasy Points

De La Cruz is facing the Milwaukee Brewers and pitcher Freddy Peralta. Peralta has impressive strikeout stuff, and he brings a solid projected FIP of 3.84 to this matchup. With a 3.9-run implied total for the Reds, De La Cruz’s PrizePicks projection is set at 8.5 fantasy points. Despite De La Cruz’s strong performances so far in the MLB season, the challenging pitching matchup and the Brewers’ strong defense make it likely that he falls short of 8.5 fantasy points around 59% of the time. Take the less here.
