MLB Underdog Fantasy Top Picks May 14

Aaron Nola, Philadelphia Phillies - Over 5 Strikeouts

The Phillies ace had a tough start to the season, losing his first 3 starts while allowing 12 earned runs in the process. Since that bad start He is 4-1 and hasn't allowed more than 3 runs in a start while limiting walks and seeing an increase in strikeout production. More recently he has at least 5 strikeouts in the last 3 starts, topping the Underdog number twice with 6 punch-outs! I see the momentum continuing today in Colorado as the Rockies strikeout nearly 9 times per game, which is the 12th most in the MLB so far this season. Nola will also have the advantage of a cool day in Denver and the weather is showing that winds will be blowing into home plate to hopefully help suppress those rocky mountain long balls we are accustomed to seeing. Nola over 5 strikeouts today please.

Rafael Devers, Boston Red Sox - Over 2.0 Hits + Runs + RBIs

Hit on this style of prop last night with Adley Rutschman and it went way over the line that they gave on Underdog. I see a similar disparity tonight for Rafael Devers as the Red Sox take on the the Cardinals. Devers leads his team in total bases with 81 total over just 39 so obviously that's over 2 per game right now. He has 11 home runs on the season with 36 RBIs, the man is red hot and not appearing to slow down anytime soon. Devers also gets the advantage of facing off against Miles Mikolas who is starting for the Cardinals tonight. In 2 starts in the month of May Mikolas has allowed 12 hits and only lasted about 5 innings in each start. With that we know he won't be out there long plus the Red Sox score runs like crazy at home this season. To top it off the Cardinals team ERA this season is 4.56, which is the 9th highest in the MLB this season. Give me Devers for a big time game today in Fenway Park.
