Look of the Day for Mon. 7/1: Mark of a winner

New York Mets third baseman Mark Vientos.

We cashed our Look of the Day on Friday to close out a 4-1 week, bringing us to 11-1 in our last 12 picks. Not too shabby! Let's stay hot with our favorite play for Monday's tiny MLB slate.

Look of the Day: Mark Vientos over 1.5 hits + runs + RBIs (-105 DraftKings)

The New York Mets take on the Washington Nationals in a National League East battle on Monday night, and we're eyeing up Vientos to have a big night at the plate.

Vientos is swinging a red-hot bat right now. The Mets third baseman is batting .317 with a 1.096 OPS, a .440 wOBA and a 194 wRC+. He's recorded 13 hits, 11 runs scored and nine RBIs over his last 10 games played, giving him an average of 3.3 hits + runs + RBIs in that span.

This is a great matchup for Vientos with left-hander MacKenzie Gore on the mound for the Nats. Gore is a heavy fastball pitcher, as he throws his 4-seamer 54 percent of the time. That's great news for Vientos, who has a .360 xBA, a .864 xSLG and a .529 wxOBA against 4-seam fastballs this season. He's also batting .358 and slugging .679 with four home runs against lefties this year.

Vientos has faced Gore only five times in his career, but he's 1-3 with a homer and two walks in those plate appearances. We expect him to stay hot with a friendly matchup on deck.
