    Today’s MLB DFS & Player Props Picks

    Tuesday’s Starting Pitcher Rankings

    Hunter Brown (SP – HOU) vs. COL

    Hunter Brown is a beast at home. According to FanGraphs, Brown has a 2.88 ERA, 3.36 xFIP, 1.09 WHIP, 9.3 BB% and 27.8 K% in 153.1 innings at home since last year. The righty ace has a drool-inducing matchup and equally incredible betting info.

    The Rockies are dead last in wRC+ (78) with a 25.8 K% versus righties and in wRC+ (68) with a 27.2 K% on the road in 2025. Furthermore, Colorado was 27th in wRC+ (84) with a 21.3 K% in the previous 30 days. As a result, the Astros are monstrous -330 betting favorites, and the game’s total is 8.0 runs.

    Matthew Boyd (SP – CHC) at SF

    Among tonight’s probable starters, Matthew Boyd has the third-lowest ERA (2.61) and the third-lowest xERA (3.29) in 2025, adding a 3.93 xFIP, 3.90 SIERA, 1.04 WHIP, 5.7 BB% and 22.1 K% in 25 starts spanning 148 innings. Boyd has also won 12 games and twirled 16 quality starts. He should add to his stellar numbers tonight in a favorable matchup.

    The Giants are 30th in wRC+ (74) with a 25.1 K% versus lefties and 20th in wRC+ (93) with a 21.6 K% at home this year. San Francisco was also 21st in wRC+ (92) with a 24.5 K% in the previous 30 days. Thus, the Cubs are listed as a -130 favorite, and the game’s total is a pitcher-friendly 7.5 runs.

    Chris Bassitt (SP – TOR) vs. MIN

    Chris Bassitt is a solid-if-unspectacular hurler, but he’s at his best at home. In 183 innings at home since last year, Bassitt has a 3.74 ERA, 3.76 xFIP, 1.36 WHIP, 8.2 BB% and 24.2 K%. The Twins are unlikely to provide him with much resistance tonight.

    Minnesota is 23rd in wRC+ (98) with a 21.9 K% versus righties and 23rd in wRC+ (92) with a 23.4 K% on the road this season. The Twins were also tied for 24th in wRC+ (87) with a 22.2 K% in the previous 30 days. So, the Blue Jays are listed as -180 favorites, and the game’s total is 8.5 runs.

    Suggested Lineup Stacks

    Patrick Corbin‘s unexpected resurgence this year has come to a thudding halt. In his previous five starts, Corbin has had a 9.33 ERA, 5.95 xFIP, 5.86 SIERA and 2.24 WHIP, allowing four homers in just 18.1 innings. Corbin also had a 14.1 BB% and 15.2 K% in those turns. The Angels should hammer him tonight.

    Charlie Morton‘s been a punching bag on the road. In 127.2 innings on the road since last season, Morton has coughed up a 4.93 ERA, 4.31 xFIP, 1.37 WHIP and 1.34 HR/9. Per Baseball Savant, Sutter Health Park has the second-highest park factor for runs (119) this year. Finally, Morton has surrendered a .345 wOBA to 296 left-handed batters and a .344 wOBA to 262 right-handed batters this season.
