Howdy folks and welcome to the Tuesday edition of my best bets column! Last night was an absolute banger as we saw Goldschmidt go yard, Soto get no RBIs, and LeMahieu fail to get two bases. With an undefeated start to the week, we gotta keep this thing rolling. You can also keep rolling, rolling in cash that is, with Thrive Fantasy but more on that later. Let's get into the piiiiiicks. 

Phillies SP Zack Wheeler: Over 6.5 K's (100 Thrive Points) 

Wheeler has been going between wheeling and dealing and some pretty lackluster performances. However, while his performances have been inconsistent, his ability to get punch outs haven't been. After a rough three starts, Wheeler has gotten seven strikeouts or more in nine of his last ten starts. He has averaged around 7.5 K's a game during this span. Tonight he faces an Atlanta team that has struck out the most in 2022, averaging nearly 10 K's a game. This is am easy bet with great odds. 

Dodgers 1B Freddie Freeman: Over .5 RBI's (110 Thrive Points)


Speaking of Atlanta, how about former face of the franchise with triple digit points on the line? He is en fuego and holds a current eleven game hitting streak heading into the second game of a series against Colorado. He has collected a RBI in five of his past eight games and had a huge five RBI outburst against Cincinnati. Tonight, he faces Kyle Freeland who has an ERA over five at Coors Field. Here are the NL west leaders in Runs Batted In. 




White Sox CF Luis Robert: Under .5 Runs (90 Thrive Points) 


We'll hit the homestretch here with our robot pick of the day, powered by Pine's AI. The AI has it's nonexistent eyes locked on Luis Robert, who it gives an 81% chance of not getting a run in tonight's ball game. 

Robert was hotter than hell but a leg injury pushed him to day-to-day status and has really cooled him off. He is two for sixteen since his bout with leg soreness with 3 K's. Robert also has not touched home plate in eight games and the trend should continue in Los Angeles. I'm with the robot here, fade him.
