Taking a look at the slate today, there's a few games I like that project for some positive batting and runs stats. But, matchup-wise, I'm zero-ing in on the Blue Jays game in Toronto. This game is not one of the top parks, factors-wise when it comes to HRs and runs, but, of all the players I'm delving through, Schneider feels like the one I want to go with.
Thus far in September, Schneider has played in seven games, and has recorded seven hits. That's great, you say, but we need 2 bases, not one hit!
It's ok. I got you.
Just last night against these same Kansas City Royals, Schneider recorded 2 hits, and both were doubles. In fact, of those seven hits in his past seven games, all seven of them have been for extra bases. He's got five doubles, one triple and one HR. If we go back through his past 15 games, 11 of those games have been outings in which he's recorded at least two total bases.
Lastly, it should be noted that the Pine Sports model has Scheider's line at 0.5 total bases, where the robot "really likes the over". I'm taking this all into consideration as I could be playing with fire as the Ballpark Pal model has this game as projecting below average for HRs, singles, AND total runs, but has the second highest projection for above average for extra base hits.
I can't stress enough that there is no such thing as a lock, but when looking at the data, this one is trending toward more likely to happen than not.

No need to sift through the clutter.
Just use the prop cheatsheet.
