Fixture: New York Mets @ Washington Nationals

Date & Time: Wednesday, May 11, 7:05 p.m. EDT

Venue: Nationals Park, Washington, D.C.

Maikel Franco and the Washington Nationals will face the Mets in the second game of their series. Franco has been hitting well recently, carrying a .346 average over his last seven contests. Tylor Megill has been good for the Mets, but he was touched up for three runs in 5 1/3 innings in his last start. The Mets have an average bullpen too, but look for Franco to record a base knock Wednesday night.

Miles Mikolas enters Wednesday's game with a minuscule 1.53 ERA. He's struck out 28 batters in 35 1/3 frames this season, right in line with his career strikeout rate. Against an Orioles team that K's the seventh-most in the MLB, Mikolas has a good chance to record at least five punchouts.

The O's also rank near the bottom in runs, which plays into Mikolas' favor as he should be able to go deeper into the game.

MLB Player Prop #3: Jared Walsh Over 0.5 Singles (+120)

Los Angeles Angels vs. Tampa Bay Rays Match Details

Fixture: Tampa Bay Rays @ Los Angeles Angels

Date & Time: Wednesday, May 11, 7:07 p.m. EDT

Venue: Angel Stadium, Anaheim, CA

Walsh, along with his teammates, has been scorching hot recently. The Angels' first basemen is on a seven-game hitting streak where he's hitting .448. Even though he'll be placed in a lefty-lefty situation, Walsh has hit .308 off of southpaws this year. Shane McClanahan is the Rays' starter, and he's actually allowing a much higher average against left-handed hitters compared to righties (.278 vs. .180).

"full send" - @ Los Angeles Angels

For Walsh, he'll likely bat in the middle of the order and have several opportunities to keep his hit streak going.
