It's The Final Round targeted Nolan Schanuel for hits and total-bases props against Carmen Mlodzinski. Schanuel owns a .421 average (8-for-19 with a homer) versus four-seam fastballs, the pitch Mlodzinski throws 39 % of the time and allows a .368 average on. Schanuel is also crushing sliders (.500, 4-for-8) while the Pirates right-hander is getting torched for .583 on that offering (7-for-12). The only pitch that gives Schanuel trouble is the change-up (.154), but Mlodzinski’s change is still yielding .375. With a hit in 17 of his last 20 games, the host likes Schanuel to clear 1+ hit easily and thinks an over 1.5 total-bases ladder is in play.

It's The Final Round advised backing Nolan Schanuel to record a hit versus Justin Verlander. Schanuel is torching Verlander’s primary offerings: .421 vs the four‑seam (8‑for‑19, HR) and .571 vs the slider (4‑for‑7), the two pitches he’ll see roughly two‑thirds of the time. Verlander himself is letting hitters bat .250 off that trio of fastball/slider/change and a staggering .500 (4‑for‑8) on his curve. Schanuel has collected a knock in 15 of 17 games and is already 2‑for‑6 (.333) lifetime off Verlander. The tout framed it as an ideal spot for a single‑hit prop or DFS cash‑game floor play.
