Today’s Top Monkey Knife Fight MLB Player Prop Picks

Red Sox vs. Athletics ‘More or Less’ Contest (3x Buy-In)

Monkey Knife Fight MLB fantasy picks expert baseball vegas betting odds player props picks parlay Red Sox A's Strikeouts

For the first featured contest this Friday, we are looking to pick two over/under props correctly for two starting pitchers. The new Awesemo MLB Player Props Tool is a great resource to help get an edge on Monkey Knife Fight MLB fantasy picks. The line is set at 6.5 total strikeouts for Eduardo Rodriguez, who has cleared that total in four of his last five starts. He also fanned nine Oakland batters in a start against them back in early May. That being said, the tool is keen on playing under this total for Rodriguez tonight. Given that the Athletics don’t strike out very often as a team relative to most other clubs’ per-game averages, Rodriguez may have a tough time piling up strikeouts this evening.

The second leg of this Monkey Knife Fight MLB contest sees Frankie Montas with a total strikeouts line of 5.5. Although he came in just under with five strikeouts in his most recent start, Montas has finished over the number quite a bit of late. Dating back to early May, he has exceeded 5.5 strikeouts in seven of his last 10 outings. The Red Sox rank worse than Oakland in terms of strikeouts per game, the betting odds are also juiced to the over, and added liability suggests that users should play the over in this contest.

Mets vs. Yankees ‘Rapidfire’ Contest (3x Buy-In)

Monkey Knife Fight MLB fantasy picks Aaron Judge baseball vegas betting odds player prop picks parlay aaron judge giancarlo stanton pete alonso Yankees Mets

For this Monkey Knife Fight MLB contest, users are tasked with predicting the winner of two head-to-head player battles in tonight’s Subway Series opener. The stat in question is total fantasy points accumulated, thus making the Awesemo MLB DFS projections a helpful resource.

The first matchup features Aaron Judge laying 0.5 fantasy points to Pete Alonso. Judge hit a home run in his most recent start on Wednesday and has eight total hits over his last six games played. Meanwhile, Alonso has also cranked out two home runs over his last four games after being mired in a prolonged hitless slump. Both players have the capability to put up fantasy points in a hurry given their power. When it comes to MLB picks, Judge is the more attractive option. Alonso has simply been too inconsistent this season and has been far worse than Judge at the plate recently.

The second head-to-head in this Monkey Knife Fight MLB contest pits two Yankees against one another. Giancarlo Stanton is laying half a fantasy point to D.J. LeMahieu. Stanton has been on a hitting tear of late, totaling nine hits over his last seven games. He also has a hit in two of his four prior at-bats against Mets starter Taijuan Walker. One of those knocks cleared the yard.

Like Stanton, LeMahieu also has found success against Walker in the past. Over a much larger sample size of 21 at-bats, LeMahieu has totaled six hits. Then there’s also the fact that LeMahieu carries a 13-game hitting streak into tonight’s contest. He has easily been the more consistent of the two recently. So long as Stanton doesn’t launch another rocket, having a half point in pocket with a red-hot hitter appears to be the way to go.
