Dylan Cease Over 6.5 strikeouts (+108)
Dylan Cease has been electric this season for the Toronto Blue Jays. He’s compiled a 2.87 ERA while striking out 49 in 31.1 innings of work. In fact, the right-hander is second in the American League in Ks.
Cease has cashed the Over in strikeouts in two of his last four outings, and in his last start on the road, the veteran had 12 punchouts against the Los Angeles Angels. He’ll face the Minnesota Twins tonight, and Cease has 27 Ks in 63 at-bats against their lineup. Minny is also 20th in team strikeouts.

Ozzie Albies to record a run (-135)
Ozzie Albies is having a wonderful season so far. He’s hitting .320, and he’s come across the plate 24 times. Albies has cashed the Over in runs in four straight contests, and during that span, the infielder has five runs. He’s a spark plug in this Atlanta Braves lineup.
It also helps that everyone around him is producing. The Braves are one of the best ball clubs around with RISP, hitting .271. Albies also has a .369 OBP, and he’s also in the midst of a 13-game hitting streak. He’ll stay hot, and come across the dish again versus the lowly Colorado Rockies.

Chris Sale Over 7.5 strikeouts (+108)
Chris Sale has always had strikeout stuff, and 2026 has been no different. He’s punched out 38 hitters in 35 innings of work. The southpaw has only cashed the Over in Ks once this season, but it was in his last outing, sitting down nine Philadelphia Phillies via the strikeout.
Tonight’s matchup heavily plays in his favor, though. The Rockies are one of the worst teams in the Majors as usual, and Sale has 15 Ks in 35 at-bats against their lineup. Colorado is also 28th in the bigs in team strikeouts with 9.36 per contest. Sale should breeze through them, and miss his fair share of bats along the way.
