Pirate Road Trip!

Morning all! Your boy Plunder has to hit the road for a few days for work, but there’s two pieces of good news attached to that …

1) “Work” consists of having to eat and drink my way through Savannah, GA and Greenville, SC. (Suffering, I know)

2) Pitch Mix Plays will be produced daily as normal.

The only “bad” news is there ain’t no sportsbook action in South Carolina, so I won’t be posting any specific plays in the Discord over the weekend, but I think we’re all getting the hang of this setup and I have no doubt you’ll be able to get your winners together.

Let’s jump into the plays for Wednesday, April 9th. Reminder SIGN UP FOR PREMIUM (if ya ain’t already) to get the full list.

NOTE: Weather been wonky in many cities this week (not quite as bad today though), so be sure to check the forecast as well as any changes in probable pitchers.

✅ TOP PICKS ✅

• Shohei Ohtani and all his buddies (LAD) vs. Jake Irvin [GRADE: A]

H/AB	AVG	wOBA	OPS	ISO	HardHit%
47-148	.318	.481	1.219	.385	59.29%

I’m listing Ohtani as the top pick of the bunch because Irvin was worse against lefties in 2024 and Ohtani’s stats above are against the 4-seam/curve mix that Irvin leans on. He’s also 3-6 against him in his career. I also think Mookie Betts and Will Smith are in play again too, particularly because Mookie is batting .444 off Irvin and Smith is hitting .333 off him. Ohtani is the play if you only want one, but all three are available. (Not to mention the fact they all owe us for laying an egg last night!)

NOTE: Tatis was originally a top pick for me today but he's likely out today with a shoulder injury, soo here's a bonus play from the premium section ...

• Jose Ramirez (CLE) vs. Sean Burke [GRADE: A-]

H/AB	AVG	wOBA	OPS	ISO	HardHit%
4-8	.500	.739	1.917	.750	71.43%

Cold again in Cleveland today, though not quite as horrible as yesterday so maybe the teams will score more than one total run. That said, no need to go crazy with unit sizing either. Gaudy numbers for Ramirez so far in a very small 2025 sample.
