Thursday’s loaded MLB DFS slates are split between the afternoon and night. While there are all of those games to choose from, I will narrow it down to the two most profitable MLB DFS plays areas and make selections on Monkey Knife Fight. Tonight’s slate is headlined by the American League East showdown between the Boston Red Sox and the Toronto Blue Jays. Let’s dive into the top Monkey Knife Fight MLB picks and props tonight on July 29.
Tonight’s Top Monkey Knife Fight MLB Player Prop Picks
Monkey Knife Fight has a ton of profitable contests for the public, and here we will break down the two best areas from which to make MLB picks.
More or Less – Pick 2 | Prize: 3x
Eduardo Rodriguez and Hyun-Jin Ryu
It is certainly intriguing to see Eduardo Rodriguez with more projected strikeouts than Hyun-Jin Ryu given Ryu is the better pitcher. However, Ryu has only exceeded this 4.5-strikeout mark once in his last eight starts. Things will not get any easier tonight, as Boston has the third-lowest strikeout rate (21.4%) against lefties this season.
Rodriguez will not have it any easier, as Toronto owns the fourth-lowest strikeout rate (21.6%) against lefties. In two starts against the Blue Jays he has allowed a total of seven runs over 11 innings, so that is a bit of concern. Although he is coming off an injury-related short start last time, his chances of going over 5.5 strikeouts are strong tonight. Excluding that last start that was cut short, Rodriguez has exceeded this mark in five of his last six outings.
Rodriguez: Over 5.5 Strikeouts
Ryu: Under 4.5 Strikeouts
Fantasy Challenge – Pick 3 | Prize: 4x Bonus
Baltimore: Trey Mancini
Detroit: Akil Baddoo, Eric Haase
For the Orioles, it has to be Trey Mancini. Over the last five games he is 8-for-20 with three doubles and three homers.
Akil Baddoo also has to be included as the hottest Tigers hitter. Recently he traded in the stolen bases for power, with five homers over the last 12 games. In fact, Baddoo has hit safely in each of the last five games and even has multiple hits in each of the last two. Eric Haase is also a key piece from the Tigers. He was listed as one of the top players in Awesemo’s ranking today, and he is 6-for-20 with two doubles and two homers over his last six games.
