Josh Inglis' expert pick: Rockies/Reds YRFI
Price: 50¢ (+100) at Polymarket
Tomoyuki Sugano has been circled yet again. He continues to run hot, but a matchup against the red-hot Cincinnati Reds at Great American Ball Park is another tough test. He’s coming off a 101-pitch outing — the second-highest total of his MLB career — and could be vulnerable early. The Reds are in position to get to him quickly and cash a YRFI bet that has a fair price around -120. On the other side, Brandon Williamson has also struggled this year and can give it up early, especially with 11 mph winds blowing out.
Neil Parker's expert pick: Cubs moneyline
Price: 51¢ (-104) at Polymarket
The Chicago Cubs are rolling at the dish during their 14-6 heater, with the highest wOBA in baseball and an average of 6.2 runs per game. Facing San Diego Padres righty Matt Waldron shouldn’t be too high a hurdle this afternoon, either: He sports a career 5.19 ERA and 4.53 xFIP across 201 1/3 innings in the majors. I also particularly value the sustainable surface of the Chicago offensive success, with the Cubbies sporting the fifth-highest walk rate and fifth-lowest strikeout percentage during this 20-game stretch.
Joe Osborne's expert pick: Royals ML
Price: 48¢ (+108) at Polymarket
I love the underdog spot for a Kansas City Royals team that’s riding its first wave of momentum of the season with four straight wins. The bats lead MLB in OPS over the past week, putting up 27 runs across their last three games, making it a tough matchup for Luis Severino, who’s been getting hit hard in Sacramento — a carry-over from last season's 6.01 home ERA. Meanwhile, Michael Wacha has been steady, with two ERs or fewer in four of five starts, and is backed by a bullpen hitting its best stretch of the season.
