He has gone 3-for-7 with two triples, two walks, two strikeouts and two runs scored over his last two appearances, and he&#8217;s opening the season with an excellent .450 on-base percentage on 20 plate appearances.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>As if those numbers didn&#8217;t paint a picture that&#8217;s already promising, it&#8217;s worth noting that Lindor has had plenty of success against <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotowire.com\/baseball\/player\/andre-pallante-16167\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Andre Pallante<\/a> in the past. He has a .462 batting average and a .462 slugging percentage against the right-hander in 13 at-bats, making him a strong target to rack up bases in what looks like a favorable matchup. Lindor also has a career .204 ISO against right-handers, further enhancing his chances of this being a strong matchup.<\/p>\n<p>San Francisco Giants vs. San Diego Padres: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotowire.com\/baseball\/player\/willy-adames-13593\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Willy Adames<\/a> to hit a home run (+370 Caesars)<\/p>\n<p>Adames went hitless in his first two games, and overall, the Giants have struggled on offense, scoring just four runs over their first four games. However, he&#8217;s had knocks in his last two appearances and appears to be seeing the ball better.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The fact that he has an excellent matchup against <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotowire.com\/baseball\/player\/german-marquez-14109\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">German Marquez<\/a> should also be a favorable aspect for Adames, as he has hit .364 with a 1.566 OPS and three homers across 11 at-bats against Marquez, who&#8217;s been far from being a reliable pitcher in fantasy over the last few seasons. If Adames is looking for a game in which to break his funk and go yard for the first time in 2026, this might be his best option to do so.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He&#8217;s coming off a 2025 season in which he hit 30 homers, the third time he&#8217;s reached that mark over his last four campaigns. Clearly, he&#8217;s due for his first long ball of the season sooner rather than later.<\/p>\n<p>Check out Caesars Sportsbook this MLB season and use the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotowire.com\/betting\/caesars\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">Caesars Sportsbook promo code<\/a> for one of the top <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotowire.com\/betting\/promos\/mlb\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">MLB betting promos<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Colorado Rockies vs. Toronto Blue Jays: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotowire.com\/baseball\/player\/max-scherzer-9278\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Max Scherzer<\/a> over 5.5 strikeouts, -125 @ DraftKings<\/p>\n<p>Scherzer needs to have a strong outing to back up what he did in spring training, but perhaps more importantly, the Blue Jays need Scherzer to be dominant Monday after losing Monday&#8217;s opener and seeing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotowire.com\/baseball\/player\/cody-ponce-13834\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Cody Ponce<\/a> go down with a knee injury. The Blue Jays have a depleted rotation, and a strong performance from Scherzer would go a long way here. He has a favorable matchup, as the Rockies are a strikeout-happy lineup that is currently averaging over 1.0 Ks per inning.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0Scherzer may be 41 years old, but he posted a 0.66 WHIP in spring training, and if he&#8217;s able to replicate that form against the Rockies in his 2026 debut, he shouldn&#8217;t have problems in recording six or more strikeouts. He&#8217;ll be facing a Colorado lineup that has posted a .215 xBA so far this season, strengthening Scherzer&#8217;s case as a strong player prop for Tuesday&#8217;s slate.<\/p>\n<p>MLB Picks Recap for Tuesday, March 31New York Mets vs. St. Louis Cardinals: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotowire.com\/baseball\/player\/francisco-lindor-12128\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Francisco Lindor<\/a> over 1.5 total bases, +105 @ FanDuelSan Francisco Giants vs. San Diego Padres: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotowire.com\/baseball\/player\/willy-adames-13593\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Willy Adames<\/a> to hit a home run, +370 @ CaesarsColorado Rockies vs. Toronto Blue Jays: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotowire.com\/baseball\/player\/max-scherzer-9278\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Max Scherzer<\/a> over 5.5 strikeouts, -125 @ DraftKings<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Check out Juan Pablo Aravena&#8217;s top MLB Prop Picks Tuesday including a play on Francisco Lindor against the&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":655566,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2276],"tags":[5,2291,74922,4,1586],"class_list":{"0":"post-655565","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-mlb-draft","8":"tag-baseball","9":"tag-major-league-baseball-draft","10":"tag-minor-league-stats","11":"tag-mlb","12":"tag-mlb-draft"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@mlb\/116326765979653860","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/655565","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=655565"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/655565\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/655566"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=655565"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=655565"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=655565"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
