Under 1.5 earned runs | +114 |
| Aaron Judge |

Jose Soriano Over 6.5 strikeouts
Jose Soriano has been absolutely lights out, currently leading the big leagues with a remarkable 0.84 ERA.
The Los Angeles Angels right-hander is also Top-10 in strikeouts with 49 in just 42 2/3 innings of work. The righty has cashed the Over in Ks in three of his last five outings, and he finished with six strikeouts last time out against the Chicago White Sox.
Soriano takes the ball against them again tonight, and the White Sox are 28th in team strikeouts with nearly 10 per contest. He has 22 Ks in 18 2/3 innings at home, and the Angels welcome Chicago to town here. Soriano will miss his fair share of bats against a team that isn’t great at making consistent contact.

Cam Schlittler Under 1.5 earned runs
Cam Schlittler has been phenomenal for the New York Yankees, helping make up for the absences of Carlos Rodon and Gerrit Cole in the rotation.
The sophomore hurler owns a 4-1 record and 1.51 ERA. He’s tossed at least six frames in each of his last three starts, and has also cashed the Under in earned runs in each.
Last time out, the Boston native held the Rangers to zero runs across six innings of work. He also dominated the Red Sox and the Royals previously.
Schlittler takes the mound against the Baltimore Orioles this evening, and he had a 0.73 ERA against them last season across two starts, surrendering a mere one earned run across 12 1/3 innings.
The O’s have also lost four straight and boast one of the highest whiff rates in MLB, which only plays into Schlittler's hands.

Aaron Judge Over 1.5 total bases
Aaron Judge continues to play like the reigning MVP, batting .264 with 13 home runs and 23 RBI.
The slugger is red-hot, cashing the Over in total bases in five of his last seven appearances, and he went 2-for-4 with a home run in yesterday's win.
He’ll face Orioles righty Shane Baz tonight, and that’s been a nightmare for the hurler.
Judge is 4-for-10 against him with two home runs. The veteran is also raking at home, hitting .310. With the series finale in the Bronx, Judge will give Baz even more trouble.
