🔥 Top Picks

Tigers/Nationals Over 9.5 (-101) – 6:45 PM ET
Dietrich Enns has just one MLB start since 2017 and Jake Irvin allowed 9 ER his last time out. Add in Washington’s MLB-worst bullpen ERA (5.72) and hard-hit rate, and this game sets up for plenty of runs.

Brewers/Mets Under 8.0 (-103) – 7:10 PM ET
Quintana and Peterson both own 3.30 ERAs and generate grounders in a pitcher-friendly Citi Field. With the Brewers holding MLB’s best RISP defense (.198 BAA), expect a low-scoring duel.

Giants/Diamondbacks Under 8.5 (-118) – 9:40 PM ET
Robbie Ray (2.75 ERA) and Chase Field’s homer-suppressing park factor (0.772 HR) favor the under. Ray has held opponents to ≤2 ER in 7 of 9 starts, and Pfaadt’s home ERA (4.23) is solid.

Minnesota Twins (41-45) @ Miami Marlins (38-46) – 12:10 PM

🔹 David Festa (MIN): 2-2, 5.40 ERA — struggled in lone start vs. MIA (4 R in 4.1 IP)
🔹 Eury Pérez (MIA): 0-2, 6.19 ERA — pitch count still climbing post-TJ
🔍 Miami’s 8-game win streak ended yesterday, but Stowers (.406 in 9-game streak) stays hot. Both pitchers are shaky and bullpens may be needed early.
💰 Odds: Twins -119, Marlins -102 | Total: 7.5

Best Bet: Over 11.0 (-120)

🔍 Detroit’s 22 games over .500 with elite numbers vs. lefties (.792 OPS). Washington’s bullpen and hard-hit issues make this a good over spot.
💰 Odds: Tigers -151, Nationals +124 | Total: 9.5

🔥 Top Pick: Under 8.0 (-103)
🔹 Jose Quintana (MIL): 6-2, 3.30 ERA — limits damage, strong RISP numbers
🔹 David Peterson (NYM): 5-4, 3.30 ERA — but on 3-game losing streak
🔍 Brewers on a 7-3 tear while Mets are 3-7 in last 10. Both pitchers induce grounders at Citi Field, favoring the under.
💰 Odds: Mets -158, Brewers +129 | Total: 8.0

🔹 Bryce Elder (ATL): 2-5, 5.82 ERA — 18 ER in last 10⅔ IP
🔍 Angels have been scoring but their bullpen is shaky. Elder’s struggles are concerning, but Truist Park dampens runs, leaning under.
💰 Odds: Braves -156, Angels +128 | Total: 9.0

Cleveland Guardians (40-44) @ Chicago Cubs (51-35) – 8:05 PM

Best Bet: Under 8.5 (-110)

🔹 Brandon Pfaadt (ARI): 8-5, 5.38 ERA — better at home (4.23 ERA)
🔍 Giants have dropped 8 of 10 but Ray’s elite form and Chase Field’s HR suppression favor a low total. Marte remains hot for Arizona.
💰 Odds: Giants -123, Diamondbacks +101 | Total: 8.5

Kansas City Royals (40-47) @ Seattle Mariners (45-41) – 10:10 PM

🔹 Dustin May (LAD): 4-5, 4.68 ERA — allowed ≥3 ER in 4 of last 5
🔍 Dodgers are MLB’s best team and have walked off two straight. With shaky starters and hot bats, the over makes sense even at Dodger Stadium.
💰 Odds: Dodgers -301, White Sox +237 | Total: 9.0
