I kid of course … but have you seen the way Michael Harris has been swinging the baseball this week? The guy is like a man possessed with a rage I haven’t seen since they killed John Wick’s puppy in the first movie of the series. But hey … it’s GREEN for us!

Additional note … I’ve been trying to be very stingy in my picks of late. Picking just the best of the best and keeping volume smart. It’s been working, so we keep doing it today.

Let’s get into the plays for Wednesday, August 20th. Reminder SIGN UP FOR PREMIUM (if ya ain’t already) to get the full list.

✅ TOP PICKS ✅

Ronald Acuña / Michael Harris (ATL) vs. Martin Perez [GRADE: A]

H/AB	AVG	wOBA	ISO	ExitVelo	HardHit%
4-8	.500	.443	.125	93.8	60%

The numbers listed are for Acuña and it’s a small sample size since he’s just back from injury, but he’s always a solid choice against a lefty. As for Harris, the Pitch Mix numbers aren’t there today, but I ain’t betting against this guy until he gives us a reason not to. Need to mention that Ozzie Albies is 7-9 off Perez in his career so you could give him a look too.

TARGET MARKETS: HRR/TB/singles (1u), HR (0.2-0.3u)

Quick note on the Target Markets section: These are the markets I’m going to be line/promo shopping for when the markets open up. Sometimes I will avoid them if they’re too juicy or the odds are just garbage (-130 and worse). Unit recommendation is a general guideline, but could change based on value.
