Daily Fantasy Pitchers, MLB Betting for April 12 – Drew Hutchinson, Zach Greinke

Gambling911.com has your daily fantasy pitchers and MLB betting prospects for Sunday April 12. 

Best Bets:  Toronto/Baltimore UNDER 8.5, Toronto -101, Seattle -140

Best DFS Pitcher Picks: Drew Hutchinson, Felix Hernandez, Zach Greinke

Drew Hutchinson (Toronto) $7.3K – None of the Orioles have had much luck against Hutchinson.  He struck out 184 in 184 2/3 innings overall last season and went 3-1, including a win in his last start, with a 2.54 ERA in six outings against the Orioles in 2014. 

Orioles RH Chris Tillman (1-0, 1.35) has now assumed the ace role.  He went 1-3 with a 4.73 ERA against the Blue Jays last year – 4-6 and 4.12 all-time.

Eight of the last ten games in this series have stayed UNDER the current total of 8.5.  We like both the UNDER and Toronto here for bettors and Hutchinson as a solid pitching pick for daily fantasy sports players. 

Felix Hernandez (Seattle) $11.4 – This is the ace pitcher you will want to consider starting today.  Herndandez was 4-0, 2.22 in six starts last season against the A’s.  A number of Oakland hitters have had trouble against Hernandez and few have had much success against him. 

Seattle is 23-8 in Hernandez’s last 31 starts in Oakland.  We would take Seattle despite a somewhat high price of -140 as it is still within betting range.

Zack Greinke (LA Dodgers) $9.3K – He is probably your best option on the day where pitchers are concerned.  Greinke went 3-0 with a 1.42 ERA in four starts against the Diamondbacks last year.  Some key Arizona players have really struggled against Greinke.  The price on LA is too high for bettors with a line of -160.

Baseball News

Chris Paddack Player Prop Bets

Paddack recorded 10 strikeouts over seven shutout innings on Monday in a win over the White Sox. Prior to that start, Paddack was obliterated by the Orioles, allowing nine runs on 12 hits in 5 1/3 innings.

Zach Eflin Player Prop Bets

Zach Eflin has great value in fantasy leagues for the April 26 game against the lowly Chicago White Sox.  Betting on Eflin and the Tampa Bay Rays might make sense if not for the -210 price tag.

Trevor Williams Player Prop Bets

The Nats Trevor Williams held the Astros to one run with four strikeouts across six innings in a no-decision on Saturday.  And the betting public was eating him up at a near 80% clip.
