Good Afternoon, Pine Users! We have an amazing slate of primetime MLB games tonight with some very interesting matchups. We have divisional battles between the Brewers and Cubs, Minnesota and Detroit, and even an interleague matchup between Cincinnati and Boston. Of course with any large slate of MLB games, we have some huge opportunites to win big with our partners at Thrive Fantasy. Here are my best bets for today's slate. 

Baltimore OF Cedric Mullins: Under .5 Runs (90 Thrive Points) 

While Cedric Mullins is used to running through the 90 feet the first base, his inability to get a run will result in 90 points for you if you take the under. Mullins is slumping and bad as we move into summer. He's struck out at least once in eight of his last ten games and is seven for his last 43 at bats. Yes, he has a run in four of his past ten but three of those came against a Red Sox team that is floundering. Tonight, the reigining AL Cy Young winner Robbie Ray takes the mound and I'm willing to bet that will only make matters worse for Mullins. 


Mariners SP Robbie Ray: Over 5.5 K's (90 Thrive Points)


Speaking of Robbie Ray, He's another lock I have going tonight. Sure his early season numbers have been very disappointing, especially considering his 2021 season. But one thing that hasn't changed is his ability to get the K. He's averaging 6.3 strikeouts in his last ten games and over seven strikeouts versus the Orioles since 2019. He's had four consecutive starts of 7+ strikeouts and should be dominant tonight. Baltimore is also 7th in team strikeouts with a whopping nine per game. For extra measure, here's the MLB leaders in strikeouts this season. 

Tigers 1B Miguel Cabrera: Under .5 RBIs (90 Thrive Points) 


Ahh the Mighty Miggy. Cabrera has found ways to produce in his old age and is averaging .293 in his age 39 season. However, in spite of his fountain of youth-esque performance, the robot is giving this line a 64% chance of hitting the under.

 Cabrera has only produced an RBI in three of his last ten games and only has 18 on the season. In fact in six games against the Twins, Cabrera has only had one RBI against Minnesota. He'll face one of Minnesota's best pitchers in Bailey Ober, who owns a 3.25 ERA thus far. Hopefully, this pick along with the others give you some easy points on Thrive Fantasy tonight.
