Bill Harrelson recommended betting Rhys Hoskins to record more than 0.5 total bases against the Detroit Tigers, citing strong betting market alignment despite inconsistent recent results. Though Hoskins cleared this total in just four of his last 10 appearances, sportsbooks such as DraftKings, Caesars, and others priced his odds significantly favoring the over (-125, -129, and -135, respectively). Additionally, Hoskins performs slightly better against left-handed pitching with improved splits and has achieved success (batting .333) specifically against today's opposing pitcher Tarik Skubal. Despite average recent performances, this betting-market line difference made Hoskins' over play appealing to Bill.

Bill Harrelson recommended betting over 1.5 combined hits, runs, and RBIs for Juan Soto against the Miami Marlins. Soto has cleared this line in 9 of his last 10 games, recently recording 4 and 3 total combined hits, runs, and RBIs in consecutive matchups against the Marlins. DraftKings' odds at -125 further support the likelihood. Soto has historically dominated Miami, clearing this line in 7 of their last 8 meetings (88% success rate) and sits at an 82% season-long rate this year, hitting in 9 of 11 games.

Bill Harrelson recommended Tylor Megill to hit over 15.5 total outs against the Miami Marlins, referencing DraftKings odds of -130 as strong evidence. Although Megill struggled previously against Miami with just 14 outs last year, he exceeded this line in seven of his last 10 games and notably managed 16 and 15 outs recently against stronger teams like the Blue Jays and Astros. Harrelson pointed out the relative weakness of Miami's offense and trusted Megill's recent consistency and DraftKings' heavy backing to justify this pick.

Bill Harrelson strongly recommended betting under 1.5 hits, runs, and RBIs for Andy Pages, despite a recent strong performance against the Nationals with 4 combined hits, runs, and RBIs. Pages has consistently struggled against the set line, hitting under in 15 of his last 20 and 7 of his last 10 outings. Sportsbooks like DraftKings significantly favor the under at -125 odds, and although Pages performed well recently against the Nationals and Phillies, his season-long numbers indicate sustained struggles, having fallen below this total in 9 of his 12 total games, illustrating a poor 75% season success rate for the under.

Bill Harrelson's bonus pick is Rob Refsnyder under 1.5 hits, runs, RBI against Baltimore. Refsnyder has gone below this line in nine of his last ten games, 15 of his last 20 games, and 58% of his games played last season. While Refsnyder has hit over this line in four of his previous six matchups versus Baltimore dating back to last May, sportsbooks strongly back the under, with DraftKings and Sleeper favoring the under, illustrating significant confidence on the betting line.

Bill Harrelson favors the under on Bobby Witt Jr.'s total bases (1.5) based largely on sportsbook consensus and recent player performance. Witt has fallen short of this line eight times in his last ten appearances, including two of three games played this season, hitting it only 7 of his last 20 games. Caesars and DraftKings have odds of -129 and -130 respectively, emphasizing sharp professional consensus. Despite a high total base output in a May matchup last year against the Brewers, books and recent form dictate caution, making this under attractive.

Bill Harrelson advises betting Pete Alonso to not score a run versus Miami based on strong statistical backing. Alonso hasn't scored yet this season, was held scoreless in eight of his last ten, and hit this under in 14 of the last 20 games overall (70%). Historically against the Marlins, Alonso hasn't scored in nine of his last thirteen matchups (69%). Against Marlins pitcher Cal Quantrill specifically, Alonso has struggled, batting only .167 across six plate appearances since 2018 with just one hit.

Bill Harrelson recommended Andres Gimenez for over 1.5 combined hits, runs, and RBI, highlighting his strong recent form hitting this line in nine of his last ten games and in every game this year. Sportsbooks strongly favor this play, with DraftKings posting odds at minus 130 and Sleeper at minus 139. Gimenez is also historically solid facing the Nationals, achieving two combined runs and RBI when facing them previously. Last season he reached this mark at 47%, currently improving with increased productivity to begin this year.

Bill Harrelson offers Dylan Moore under 0.5 total bases as a strong bonus pick for opening day versus the Oakland Athletics. Moore has notably struggled against Oakland historically, going under this total in 8 of 12 encounters, including all recent matchups last season. Overall, Moore has gone under this number in 8 of his last 10 games and in 14 of his last 20 contests. Additionally, sportsbooks such as Caesars, DraftKings, and BetMGM heavily favor the under at significant odds, suggesting immediate line movement and strong betting value.

Bill Harrelson advises taking William Contreras under 1.5 hits, runs, and RBIs combined against the Yankees on MLB opening day. Contreras has been below this number in 7 of his most recent 10 games. Critically, Harrelson highlights Contreras' struggle against Yankees pitcher Carlos Rodon, where Contreras is hitting just .167 with only one hit in eight career plate appearances. Additionally, sportsbook markets like DraftKings and MGM significantly favor the under, adding further assurance to this pick.

Bill Harrelson strongly recommends Zach Wheeler exceeding 34.5 fantasy points on opening day against the Nationals. Wheeler has convincingly surpassed this line in 12 consecutive starts and in 17 of his last 20 outings, resulting in an impressive 85% hit rate recently. Additionally, Wheeler has historically dominated the Nationals, registering fantasy totals of 43, 43, and 50 points in recent meetings. During the previous MLB season, Wheeler surpassed this figure in 27 of his 33 starts. Harrelson notes Underdog as the only platform offering this prop at the time, signaling great value.

Bill Harrelson favors Julio Rodriguez going over 1.5 hits, runs, and RBIs combined on MLB opening day against the Athletics. He pointed out Rodriguez's history against Oakland, hitting the over in 8 of his last 13 games (62%) versus them. Additionally, Rodriguez hit this mark in 8 of his last 10 overall games and 13 of 20 when extending the timeframe. Harrelson emphasized betting market sentiment strongly supports the over in this prop, making it a confident pick from multiple bookmaker perspectives and highlighting his belief that superstars typically excel in big moments like opening day.
