Pick #1: James Wood – Washington Nationals – More than 1.5 Total Bases

Jack Kochanowicz was mediocre this season at AAA before his call-up, and judging by his first two MLB starts, he doesn’t seem quite ready for life in the big leagues. On the flip side, James Wood is already thriving in his brief time with the Nationals. Wood picked up two more hits last night including his fourth MLB home run.

In his last 14 games, Wood is hitting .380 with eight extra-base hits, 13 runs scored, 12 RBIs, and four stolen bases. He has settled into a role as Washington’s clean-up hitter and now sports a .370 wOBA against right-handed pitching. Start the morning (yes, this game is early) off with this play and the 1.2X payout.

Pick #2: Daniel Schneemann – Cleveland Guardians – Fewer than 0.5 Total Bases

Daniel Schneemann may be quickly playing himself out of a job. The 27-year-old hit very well to start his rookie campaign, but it seems as if opposing pitchers have completely figured out the left-hander. Over his last 60 Abs, Schneemann has only racked up 17 total bases (on 10 hits), giving him an ugly .167 average during that span. His strikeout rate has really ramped up as well, as he whiffed 20 times in those same 60 ABs.

David Festa will toe the rubber for Minnesota today, and while his surface numbers look troubling, he does own a rock-solid 3.37 xFIP this far in his rookie season. Festa can miss bats in bunches (11.1 K/9). Once Festa leaves the game, things won’t be any easier for Schneemann as he’s 1) a massive pinch-hit risk and 2) Cleveland’s bullpen owns an MLB-best 2.67 ERA and 1.06 WHIP. This is well worth the risk for a 1.1X return.
