This is my second player prop for Bobby Witt Jr. for the day. I already like him to record over 1.5 total bases, given his .358 batting average and 1.169 OPS. With having so much success in the early going, he has scored 13 runs over 13 games. The Mets are also one of the worst teams in the league in terms of catching players stealing, which should further help Witt with his speed. I expect Witt to have plenty of success against Luis Severino and to cross home plate at least one time.

Starting for the Mets on Friday will be Luis Severino. Following his 1.65 WHIP with the Yankees last season, he has a 1.60 WHIP over his first two starts this year. Bobby Witt Jr. is locked in at the plate right now, batting .358 with a 1.169 OPS for the season. Over his 13 games, he has recorded at least two total bases nine times. Don’t expect Severino to be the pitcher that slows him down.

This is a tough matchup against for Severino against a Royals lineup that currently possesses the 7th lowest K rate overall, in addition to the 8th highest OPS against opposing right handed pitchers this season. Severino has yet to eclipse 5 IP in his previous two outings. Severino has struggled against the Royals projected lineup as well and is sporting a career low SwStr% thus far.
