Road trip!

Morning all! Your boy Plunder has to hit the road for a few days for work, but there’s two pieces of good news attached to that …

1) “Work” consists of having to eat and drink my way through Savannah, GA and Greenville, SC. (Suffering, I know)

2) Pitch Mix Plays will be produced daily as normal.

The only “bad” news is there ain’t no sportsbook action in South Carolina, so I won’t be posting any specific plays in the Discord over the weekend, but I think we’re all getting the hang of this setup and I have no doubt you’ll be able to get your winners together.

Let’s jump into the plays for Wednesday, April 9th. Reminder SIGN UP FOR PREMIUM (if ya ain’t already) to get the full list.

NOTE: Weather been wonky in many cities this week (not quite as bad today though), so be sure to check the forecast as well as any changes in probable pitchers.

Tatis has been swinging well to start the season and the glorified minor league ballpark the A’s are playing in has proven so far to be hitter friendly. Above numbers are for 2025 vs. the 4-seam/slider mix, which Tatis was strong in 2024 as well. H+R+R is likely juicy but maybe we get lucky and it’s -130 or better and we can play around with it.

TARGET MARKETS: H+R+R/TB (1u), HR (0.3u), hit parlays

Quick note on the Target Markets section: These are the markets I’m going to be line/promo shopping for when the markets open up. Sometimes I will avoid them if they’re too juicy or the odds are just garbage (-130 and worse). Unit recommendation is a general guideline, but could change based on value.

  • Shohei Ohtani and all his buddies (LAD) vs. Jake Irvin [GRADE: A]

I’m listing Ohtani as the top pick of the bunch because Irvin was worse against lefties in 2024 and Ohtani’s stats above are against the 4-seam/curve mix that Irvin leans on. He’s also 3-6 against him in his career. I also think Mookie Betts and Will Smith are in play again too, particularly because Mookie is batting .444 off Irvin and Smith is hitting .333 off him. Ohtani is the play if you only want one, but all three are available. (Not to mention the fact they all owe us for laying an egg last night!)

TARGET MARKETS: TB (1u), HR (0.3), hit parlays

💰 THE RECAP 💰

These are all of our picks from Monday, April 7 …

✅ Shohei Ohtani: 3-4, HR, triple 2 RBI, run

😒 Bryan Reynolds: DNP

❌ Aaron Judge: 1-3, RBI … not good enough!

✅ Juan Soto: 2-3, double, RBI

✅ Pete Alonso: 2-4, double

Judge driving me crazy the past few days but all in all a GREEN day!
