Neil Parker's expert pick: Dodgers -1.5
Price: 50¢ (+100) at Polymarket
Baltimore Orioles rookie Trey Gibson brings a lackluster 6.62 xERA and 5.19 xFIP to the mound against a lineup pacing the majors in xwOBA across the past 30 days. The Los Angeles Dodgers counter with righty Roki Sasaki, and he sports a tidy 3.26 ERA at home, supported by an equally impressive 3.41 xFIP.
Additionally, the Orioles haven’t traveled well and sport a 22nd-ranked road wOBA.

Joe Osborne's expert pick: Padres vs. Rangers Under 7.5
Price: 55¢ (-122) at Polymarket
Everything points to a low-scoring game in Texas tonight, where strong pitching should overwhelm two struggling offenses.
Jacob deGrom is in excellent form, allowing just four earned runs across his last four starts, and he’s been nearly untouchable at home with a 1.26 ERA through six outings. He draws a San Diego Padres lineup that ranks 27th in OPS against right-handed pitching over the past two weeks.
On the other side, Randy Vasquez has been at his best on the road where he owns a 2.08 ERA, while Texas Rangers hitters rank 29th in OPS versus righties during that same two-week span and have scored three runs or fewer in five of their last six games.
San Diego’s bullpen deserves some love here too as they've been locking things down, posting a 2.28 ERA over the last two weeks.
