Today's picks brought to you by Mark Hallman. Follow him on Twitter @RealMarkHallman Total Bases Ryan Braun Once again, Braun is far and away the best option for total bases, so the system says. He faces Rockie lefty Christian Friedrich for the second time in a week. Welcome to the big leagues kid, your first two starts are against one of the best offensive teams in baseball. Friedrich didn't do as bad as one would think when you hear "MLB debut at Coors Field against the Brew Crew." He gave up four earned runs in six innings, although his defense let him down in a big way, and he gave up five more runs, unearned. Braun isn't crazy good against lefties this season, but 7 of his 18 hits are for extra bases. Gotta trust the system with such a clear cut favorite here. Jose Reyes Another top five play in the system today, but not for the home run power that Braun has. Reyes hits line drives all over the field, literally, his spray chart is as equally distributed as it gets. His BABIP is under .270, so he has even more room to improve for hits. Reyes draws Scott Carroll in the first game against the White Sox. In 11 games this season, Carroll is stumbling with a 4.98 xFIP. Carroll strikes out just as many batters as he walks, right around 3 or 4. Carroll's line driver percentage and home run-to-fastball ratio are both over league average. All in all, Reyes makes for a very solid play for the offense-powered Blue Jays. Total Hits Melky Cabrera Another Blue Jay here. The White Sox pitchers have given up 89 hits (Wednesday...

Today's picks brought to you by Mark Hallman. Follow him on Twitter @RealMarkHallman Quick note on these picks. The Brewers are far and away the favorites in our system for total bases today. It's rather obvious. They face a left, in Coors and are a righty-dominant squad that can rake. Consider this your non-Brewer edition of the ScoreStreak picks. Braun, Gomez, Lucroy, etc are top plays and we'd just be going around and around talking about the thin air, the platoon splits, etc. Total Bases Giancarlo Stanton Stanton should be arrested for what he does to left handed pitching, because he absolutely murders them. In 53 at bats, he has 20 hits(.377 batting average), with 4 home runs, 6 extra base hits, and 9 walks. It just so happens that Mr. Giancarlo will be facing a lefty today. To say this is a good match up, would be insulting to Stanton. The Marlins are in the top half of the league in terms of, batting average, home runs, runs, and slugging percentage at home this year. While Jon Niese has pitched well this season, Stanton's brute strength should give him the edge. Also in Stanton's favor, is Niese's line drive percentage, which is above league average. Victor Martinez I let the system make this pick, between V-Mart and Miguel Cabrera, and it had Martinez. Before we get to Martinez, let's quicky glance at Josh Tomlin. Tomlin gives up over a home run and a half per game. His line drive percentage is well above league average. While he has a good ERA, his FIP is above 4.00. The worst stat of them all, is his home run to fly ball ratio. It's awful. The...

Today's picks brought to you by Mark Hallman. Follow him on Twitter @RealMarkHallman Total Bases Ryan Braun The Brewer is far and away the best option for total bases and hits today. He faces Christian Friedrich, at Coors. All of you are wondering, "Who the hell is Christian Friedrich?" Know this about him, he's awful. He hasn't pitched in the majors since 2012, and in 16 career starts, his record is 5-8, with an ERA over SIX. His FIP and xFIP are both over 4.00 as well. This season in the minors, he's 1-8 with an ERA over 7.00(!!), and a FIP over 5.00(!!!). Not to mention, Ryan Braun hits lefties crazy well. His .341 lifetime average against them makes him a clear cut favorite today. Miguel Cabrera Miguel Cabrera draws the right handed Trevor Bauer today, in Cleveland. The former triple crown winner makes a living off right handed pitching. Batting .348 this season against them, to go along with 10 home runs. His walks are down, and his strikeouts are up this season, but he's still raking the ball. His wRC+ is over 50 points above the league average, and his BABIP is well over .340, nothing we're not used to from Miggy. Bauer pitches better than his 4.20 ERA says, but he still gives up 3.5 walks a games and averages over a home run per. Total Hits Jacoby Ellsbury The system has the Yankees' outfielder as the second best option in terms of hits today, being the aforementioned Ryan Braun. His weighted on-base average is also a tad above league average at .327. Bud Norris barely strikes out 6 per nine innings, and his xFIP is pretty inflated compared...
