Oakland Athletics vs. Atlanta Braves

Matt Olson Over 0.5 RBI’s (+129 per DraftKings)

Over 19 ABs to start the season, Matt Olson has been pretty solid, as he has a batting average of .263, which isn’t too shabby considering the season just started. He does, however, only have 1 RBI at this point, but with being able to get hits early on, the RBIs are bound to stack up at some point. Today he will be going up against Luis Severino, a pitcher Olson has had success against. In 15 plate appearances against Severino, Olson has 5 hits, 1 RBI, and 3 walks. Even if Olson doesn’t get the RBI number off Severino, I think he will get it at some point later in the game, especially with it being a day game, which is advantageous for the hitters.

Washington Nationals vs. Philadelphia Phillies

Phillies Team Total Runs Over 4.5 (-135 per DraftKings)

The Phillies come into April averaging just 3.4 runs per game, but they have an opportunity today against Cade Cavalli to get a significant amount of runs across the plate. Cavalli has already pitched 1 game this season and has a 4.91 ERA. Yes, one game doesn’t tell the whole story about a pitcher, but in the entire 2025 season, he put out a 4.25 ERA. Citizens Bank Park is also one of the most hitter-friendly parks in the MLB, so combine that with it being a day game, and we should see a run fest in Philadelphia this early afternoon.

Sandy Alcantara Over 5.5 Strikeouts (+108 per DraftKings)

Last season Sandy Alcantara didn’t have his best K/9 season, coming in at 6.43. In his first outing this season, though, we saw him put up 5 Ks, and he has a perfect 0.00 ERA for the time being. Alcantara only pitched one game against the White Sox last year, where he didn’t necessarily have his best day, but managed to have 8 strikeouts. This White Sox team certainly still doesn’t have the best lineup and can be prone to strikeouts. With Alcantara’s phenomenal pitch mix going up against this Chicago lineup, I don’t see Alcantara having any issues covering this number.

New York Mets vs. St. Louis Cardinals

Freddy Peralta Under 6.5 Strikeouts (-153 per DraftKings)

New Mets pitcher Freddy Peralta has had himself a solid MLB career and has a great swing-and-miss arsenal. In his first game this season against the Pirates, he put up an impressive 7-strikeout game, but today won’t be so easy, going up against a lower-strikeout lineup in the St. Louis Cardinals in a day game. The Cardinals are currently tied for the 4th least in total strikeouts this season at 36 (7.2 strikeouts per game), and Freddy Peralta more than likely won’t be pitching more than 5 innings today, obviously dependent on how he performs. Nevertheless, in a day game, I think it will be hard for Peralta to get up to his typical strikeout number.
