Trea Turner Hits Leader +1,900 (Draftkings) (1 Unit).

Trea Turner Over 174.5 Hits -110 (3 Units).

Turner signed a massive $300 Million contract with Philly last off-season. He got off to a miserable start, slashing .229/295/.688 in 88 Games before the All-Star break. However, in 67 games after the All-Star break he slashed .292/.348/.902 and in 13 Playoff games .347/.400/.1033. A lot of pressure as the big Free Agent signing but he eventually settled in. He led the league in Hits in 2020 (78), 2021 (195), and was 2nd in 2022 (194). He's a top of the lineup guy that played 155 games last year, 160 in 2022, 148 in 2021, and 59 in 2020 (Covid Year only 60 games). He had 170 hits and was 5th in total at bats last year and that's despite being moved down the lineup for a bit. He's a career .296 hitter and received the 15th largest contract in MLB history for a reason. We like Trea to have a complete season and if he does, health permitting, he'll be right at the top.

Paul Goldschmidt RBI Leader +4000 (Caesars) (1 Unit).

Goldschmidt was disappointing in 2023 following a 2022 MVP campaign. He had 80 RBI's slashing .268/.363/.810 last year. It was a lost and disappointing season for the Cardinals as a whole. Their offense was T-13th in OPS but they ranked 24th in Team ERA courtesy of one of the league’s worst starting rotations. We're bullish on Goldschmidt to rebound with St. Louis set to play a more meaningful season. He'll be in the thick of a very good Cardinals lineup that also headlines Nolan Arenado and Wilson Contreras. They have Nolan Gorman who's a legitimate 40HR threat. Jordan Walker was the #4 overall prospect and coming off a quality rookie campaign. Brendan Donovan has a career .381 and Lars Nootbaar .351 OBP. 25-Year-Old Alec Burleson settled in towards the 2nd half of last year. Their #1 and 16th overall MLB prospect Masyn Winn will man shortstop. Another prospect by the name Victor Scott will open the year in CF due to Dylan Carlson's injury. He was phenomenal in spring and a high AVG and OBP guy in the minors. He brings a ton of speed to the base paths too. They have Brendan Crawford and Matt Carpenter as veteran options off the Bench. They Cars will be good offensively and Goldschmidt has a career .961 OPS with RISP and .962 with runners on Base. He's also entering a contract year as he's set to be a Free Agent after this year. That provides motivation but it also makes him quite tradeable. Should the Cardinals disappoint again they'll be plenty of contenders looking to rent him for a playoff push. He's also played in over 96% of all possible regular season games since 2015.

Cardinals Over 84.5 Wins -110 (3 Units).

St. Louis won 70 games last year and that was with one of the worst starting rotations in all of baseball. Their 2 biggest stars, Nolan Arenado and Paul Goldschmidt also underperformed at the plate. As highlighted in the analysis above we're bullish on the Cardinals offense in 2024. Their bullpen was 11th in ERA last season and are a projected top 10 unit in baseball again this year with one of the best setup/closer duos in the game. They also have high upside arms that could propel that unit into the top 5. The Starting Rotation was addressed in the off-season. They signed AL Cy Young runner up Sonny Gray. He'll start the season on IL but will rejoin the team early April. Miles Mikolas was inconsistent in 2023 but he's been a quality starter for STL. They signed Kyle Gibson who pitched quite well in the majority of his Baltimore Starts in 2023. They also signed Veteran Lance Lynn but he's coming off a rough 2023 campaign and Age isn't on his side. He had a sub 4.0 ERA in the 4 seasons prior. There are also youth options with Drew Rom, Zack Thompson, and Matthew Liberatore. Lastly there's Steven Matz who's made 163 career starts and had a 3.86 ERA over 105 IP in 2023. They don't need to be elite, just be a league average rotation. The NL Central is also wide open and MIL won't have 2 of the top pitchers in baseball like they did a season ago.

Giancarlo Stanton RBI Leader +30,000 (Caesars) (1 Unit).

Stanton's Yankees tenure has been riddled with injury and availability issues. It's something he's addressed in the Off-Season coming into the year noticeably leaner. He's always been in great shape but he's not as bulky. He has been good in Pinstripes the couple years he's been healthy. He still blasted 31 HR in 2022 and 35 HR in 2021. He's enjoyed a great spring, slashing .317/.370/1.029 with 4 Homeruns in 14 games. He's one of the greatest hitters of all time and at 34 years old he's not as ancient as some would like to believe. Goldschmidt just won NL MVP at 35. The big ticket is hitting behind both Aaron Judge and Juan Soto. Two of the best hitters and OBP guys in baseball. If weight loss was Stanton's fountain of youth and he remains healthy in the DH spot, he could be extremely productive behind those two. It's easily the best compliment of hitters batting in front of Stanton throughout his long productive career.

Colton Cowser AL ROTY +3,000 (BETMGM) (1 Unit).

Jackson Holiday is the Rookie grabbing all the headlines in Baltimore, but he didn't even make the Opening Day Roster. The business side of Baseball plays a large part in that. Colton Cowser did as the team’s 4th outfielder. He can play all 3 OF positions and if he's playing well, he'll get penciled in every day. He's a big lefty bat with a very strong arm. He slashed .300/.417/.937 in 87 games at AAA last year. He had a forgettable 26 Major League games last year but that's quality experience. He did also struggle in his first glimpse at AAA across 27 games in 2022. There's a learning curve for most young hitters. He was a Monster during spring training, slashing .304/.418/1.135 with 6 Homeruns across 46 at bats. If he's found his MLB swing, he'll be a part of a very good Orioles lineup in 2024 with plenty of chances to pad some stats. His ability to play all over the outfield will help his case defensively but will also help keep him in the lineup regularly as injuries inevitably occur.

Phillies to Win NL East +350 (BETRIVERS) (2 Units).

Atlanta's a Heavy favorite here but Philly could challenge. Atlanta's starting rotation has its question marks. Spencer strider will be a stud, and Max Fried will be good for them as well. Fried is 30 years old and coming off an injury plagued 2023 season though. Chris Sale has had just 31 big league starts over the last 4 years and is oft injured. He stayed somewhat healthy in 2024 and posted a 4.3 ERA across 20 starts and 102.2. IP. Charlie Morton has been solid but he's 40 years old. Reynaldo Lopez hasn't been a true starter since 2019 and he has a 4.73 ERA in 97 starts. Bryce Elder has experience but has been dreadful since the All-Star Break last year. This starting rotation is far from rock solid, and depth can be an issue all season long. Atlanta still has a great bullpen and lineup but so does Philly. Betting on some regression for Atlanta's offense too. They'll be very good, but they were on a whole different level than anybody else last year.

The Phillies starting rotation has front end starters of their own in Zach Wheeler and Aaron Nola. Ranger Suarez dealt with injury in 2023 and posted a 4.18 ERA in 22 starts. He posted a 3.65 across 29 starts in 2022. Christopher Sanchez flashed potential with a 3.44 ERA across 18 starts and 99.1 IP last season. Taijuan Walker is on the IL to start the season, but they have youth and the consensus top bullpen in baseball to patch the 5th spot. They had a better team ERA than Atlanta last season, but Philly has the makeup to finish top 5 in ERA. They were also 6th in OPS a season ago despite Trea Turner struggling for much of the year. Catcher JT Realmuto also had a down season at the plate. These are two of the best offensive players at their position in a lineup that also features Bryce Harper and Kyle Schwarber. The rest of the lineup is filled with a bunch of high average guys. Philly could be elite across the board and contend with Atlanta even if they don't regress.

Rockies Over 59.5 Wins FANDUEL -110 (3 Units).

The Rockies won 59 games last year with the worst ERA in baseball and 20th ranked offense. They'll likely be towards the bottom in terms of ERA, but their 5.67 ERA was one of the worst in modern history. They also blew 34 saves. With a revamped pitching staff, they're likely to improve in that department. The rest of this roster is a bit undervalued. They've got a great young core with Brenton Doyle, Nolan Jones, and Ezequiel Tovar, all of whom are excellent defenders. Jones finished last year with a .931 OPS. Doyle's and Tovar's bats haven't truly caught up to MLB pitching but Tovar has 30-30 potential and hit 15 HR's last year. Michael Toglia is a former first round pick whose offensive performance in spring got him on the Opening day roster. There's Ryan McMahon and Charlie Blackmon who are quality left-handed batters. Elias Diaz was one of the better hitting catchers in baseball last year. Brendan Rodgers has been a solid 2B for COL the past few seasons and Elehuris Montero's bat has big time potential. It's formed prized FA signing Kris Bryant that can really tie it all together. He hasn't been available much since signing with COL but we like his injury luck to turn. He owns a career slash line of .276/.371/.863. This lineup has some good hitters and plenty of upside to go along with it. They'll be able to do some damage, especially at Coors Field. The Rockies have a great home field advantage and 2023 was the first time since 2015 that COL finished below .500 at Home during a regular 162 game season, finishing 37-44. We'll move on Colorado plenty when playing at Home during the season.
