It’s “National High Five Day” … whatever the heck that means. We in Plunderville have decided we’re gonna be handing out many high fives while all of our players go yard today. Getaway day in MLB so make sure to check lineups!

Let’s jump into the plays for Thursday, April 17th. Reminder SIGN UP FOR PREMIUM (if ya ain’t already) to get the full list.

✅ TOP PICKS ✅

• Kyle Schwarber (PHI) vs. Jordan Hicks [GRADE: A]

Hicks has struggled against lefties and Schwarber is crushing his 4 seam/sinker/sweeper mix. Everything lines up nicely.

TARGET MARKETS: H+R+R/TB (1u), HR (0.3-0.5u with promos and boosts)

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.

• Griffin Conine (MIA) vs. Eduardo Rodriguez [GRADE: A-/B+]

You know me … when in doubt, bet against E-Rod. Small sample for Conine but he’s also having a great week.

TARGET MARKETS: H+R+R (0.75u), TB (0.5u), HR (0.25), hit parlays
