Prediction

Pick: Charlie Blackmon Over 0.5 RBIs (+155)

Charlie Blackmon has been a consistent performer for the Rockies, and given the recent form of the Giants' pitching staff, this presents a favorable opportunity for Blackmon to drive in runs. With a prop line set at 0.5 RBIs, and odds of +155, betting on Blackmon to exceed this mark offers good value. The Giants' starting pitcher, Hayden Birdsong, has been fairly effective but has shown vulnerability, which Blackmon can exploit.
