ESPN’s Sunday Night Baseball head to the Bronx for the rivalry between the Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees. Tonight should add another layer of intrigue to this already wild history. Without further ado, let’s take a look at some Monkey Knife Fight MLB picks.
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 Two Correctly for 3x Buy-In
Jameson Taillon’s line is set at 5.5 strikeouts, and he is not going to exceed it. The Red Sox are one of the best offenses in baseball and only strike out at a 24% clip against right-handed pitching. Taillon faced Boston once already this season and it did not go great, as he allowed six hits and three runs while striking out only three batters in 5.1 innings.
Martin Perez has a much smaller number of 3.5 strikeouts, but he can get it done. The bottom of the Yankees’ order looks straight out of the pages of a Triple-A team. Perez has not necessarily racked up the strikeouts in recent outings, but he is pitching today on eight days rest thanks to the All-Star break. That means he can even get an additional inning or two that can boost his final tally. Since returning from the break, New York hitters have struck out 20 times in 15 total innings (last night’s game got cut short by three innings).
Fantasy Challenge — Prize for 1.5x to 4x Buy-In
Rafael Devers (Goal 13.5, Prize 1.5x) is still working on getting in the swing of things. Against Taillon, and with the famous short porch in right field, his chances are good today With Aaron Judge out of the lineup, Gary Sanchez (Goal: 15.5, Prize: 3x) becomes the best hitter the Yankees have against left-handed pitching. While Perez should top his microscopic line of 3.5 strikeouts, Sanchez can still go yard against him. Last but not least, J.D. Martinez (Goal: 17.5, Prize: 4x) is also able to do well. He homered to the opposite field on Friday night, and they say that is always a good indication of how exceptional someone’s swing is at any given moment. Look for him to be the prize winner at the end of the night.
