Top Underdog Fantasy MLB Picks Today
Bobby Witt – Higher Than 2.5 Hits + Runs + RBI
The Kansas City Royals are my favorite offense of the night, and Bobby Witt is obviously leading the charge every time they take the field. He no longer bats in the lead-off spot, so that helps him pick up RBIs at a higher rate, helping our cause this evening. He projects for 2.71 Hits + Runs + RBIs tonight in the RotoGrinders projections, and we even get a bonus payout of 1.06x with this pick on Underdog Fantasy.

Kyle Schwarber – Higher Than 1.5 Total Bases
Speaking of bonus payouts, we get another one with this Kyle Schwarber pick on Underdog Fantasy, as he is listed at 1.18x to have higher than 1.5 total bases. He projects for 2.29 total bases in the RotoGrinders projections, and he’s my favorite player to hit a home run. Singer has a crazy high 51.8% hard hit rate to left-handed bats so far this season, and Schwarber has a ridiculous .391 ISO to righties over the last month.

Corey Seager – Higher Than 1.5 Total Bases
Seager is another player I expect to hit a home run tonight, and having higher than 1.5 total bases is an even easier task. He projects for 2.5 total bases tonight in the RotoGrinders projections and has been absolutely smashing right-handed pitching recently, with a .316 ISO over the course of the last 30 days.
