Happy Sunday Pine Users and welcome to a special weekend edition of my weekday column. On Friday, we went 3 for 3 on NBA Finals props pushing the record for the last seven days to an astounding 11-3. This hot streak of course would not be possible without Pine's AI providing the picks and Thrive Fantasy providing some great lines. If I can do it, you can too. Anyways let's get into today's best picks. 

Giants SS Brandon Crawford: Under .5 RBI's (90 Thrive Points)

It's been a rough season for the Giants veteran as he's seen his batting average plummet to .222 and his power disappearing. He only has two games with RBI's in his past twelve games and only has four hits in that same span. Tightness in his right quad relegated him to pinch hitting duty for a bit but he is back in the lineup and is 1-6 in his return. It may take a minute for Crawford to get acclimated back into the lineup so an RBI here is unlikely. Especially against Julio Urias, who Crawford is hitting .235 against all time and has 1.69 ERA in his last 7 days. 


Dodgers OF Mookie Betts: Over .5 Hits (80 Thrive Points) 


Mookie Betts has locked himself into an (albeit early) tight race with Cardinals 1B Paul Goldschmidt for NL MVP. His stats show why, he's hitting .283 and has a nearly 1.000 OPS in a season where offenses have been slowing. He's averaging nearly a hit in his past ten games and has a hit in six of them. Against San Fran, he has four hits in four games this season. However, the number that has me locked into this is his stats against LHP. He's facing southpaw Carlos Rodon this afternoon and Betts has got at least one hit in his last 15 games against lefties. I think Mookie takes advantage of the favorable match up and keeps the streak alive.  Here's the NL leaders in OPS 




Dodgers OF Cody Bellinger: Under 1.5 Bases (85 Thrive Points) 


It's all NL West in this article, thanks to Pine's AI's lock of the day. It's a little bit low in terms of hit percentage that what we normally see from the Lock Machine but it still comes in at a whopping 72% chance. 

Cody Bellinger is getting cold as summer approaches, batting 6-34 in the month of June. When he does hit, he hits with power but he's not hitting. This brings me to Giants starter Carlos Rodon who has only given up 17 extra base hits in 248 batters faced. Rodon does very well against power batters and that is exactly who Bellinger is.
