PrizePicks MLB Picks for October 29

- Yankees P Clarke Schmidt 4.5 Strikeouts — Less

Dodgers P Walker Buehler 3.5 Hits Allowed — MORE
Dodgers pitcher Walker Buehler has been fairly solid this season, though his primary weakness has been against right-handed hitters.
In his most recent outings, Buehler has allowed a 10% barrel rate, a 48% hard-hit percentage, and a 30% flyball rate to righties. He throws the fastball to right-handed hitters 25% of the time, which sets up well for Yankees Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton of the New York Yankees — two power right-handed hitters who have excelled against right-handed fastballs.
Note: Goblin picks reduce your payout on PrizePicks, as they are easier projections to hit
Yankees DH Aaron Judge 1.5 Hits+Runs+RBIs — More (Goblin)
Judge has posted a 41% flyball rate, an 80% hard-hit percentage, and a 32% barrel rate against the right-handed fastball this year. Buehler’s second most-used pitch to righties is the cutter, thrown 26% of the time.
Judge continues his dominance against cutters with a 36% flyball rate, a 58% hard-hit percentage, and a 22% barrel rate over 44 plate appearances this season, making him especially dangerous against Buehler today.

Yankees P Clarke Schmidt 4.5 Strikeouts — Less
The Yankees will send out pitcher Clarke Schmidt, who has been a serviceable starter this season despite early expectations. However, Schmidt has shown vulnerability to left-handed hitters, allowing a 10% barrel rate, a 60% hard-hit percentage, and a low 10% swinging strike rate in his last appearances, indicating difficulty in generating strikeouts.
His strikeout rate against left-handed hitters over his last 35 plate appearances is just 17%. Schmidt throws the cutter 30% of the time, but only two Dodgers hitters, Kiké Hernández and Miguel Rojas, strike out more than 25% of the time against right-handed cutters.
A few other stats of note for this Schmidt strikeout option:
- The Dodgers own a collective sub-10% strikeout rate against the cutter
- In the last two World Series games, Yankees starters have combined for 7 strikeouts
- Schmidt recorded only 2 strikeouts and 4 strikeouts in his two Playoff starts
Dodgers OF Mookie Betts 1.5 Total Bases — More (Demon)
Dodgers OF Mookie Betts has been exceptional against right-handed cutters, posting a 50% hard-hit percentage, an 11% barrel rate, and a .450 BABIP in 25+ plate appearances this season.
In his last 40+ plate appearances against right-handed pitchers overall, Betts holds a 12% barrel rate, a 31% flyball rate, and a 49% hard-hit percentage, making him one of the most consistent bats in the Dodgers' lineup.
Note: Demon picks add a payout boost to your lineup on PrizePicks, as they are more difficult projections to hit.
