Cam Schlittler Over 6.5 strikeouts (+126)
Play down to +100.
Cam Schlittler continues to deal this season. Aside from his stellar 1.95 ERA, the youngster is also striking out a ridiculous number of hitters. He's fourth in the Majors in Ks, racking up 228 in just 184 2/3 innings.
Schlittler has struck out 10.74 hitters per nine across his last five outings, and he's comfortably hit the Over in four straight appearances.
The right-hander faces the Arizona Diamondbacks tonight, who have struck out 11.33 times across their previous three contests.
He'll rack up the punchouts again tonight.

Andrew Painter Under 2.5 earned runs (-131)
Play up to -140.
Andrew Painter takes the hill today against the New York Mets, and he's been in good form lately. The right-hander has cashed the Under in earned runs allowed in two of his last three starts. Painter owns a 2.93 FIP across the last month while allowing just a 33.7% hard-hit rate.
That profile looks solid against the Mets, who aren't in great offensive form. They've compiled a poor 81 wRC+ in their previous seven contests.
Painter has also surrendered just one earned run in his last two road appearances, and the Philadelphia Phillies are in Flushing here.

Cody Bellinger Over 1.5 total bases (+112)
Play down to +100.
Cody Bellinger is raking lately. He's hitting .440 over his last six games with three bombs and a .360 ISO. The veteran has cashed the Over in total bases in two of his previous three contests, and Bellinger has smacked seven hits during that span.
Belli will face Brandon Pfaadt tonight, who has allowed nine earned runs in his last two starts. Pfaadt has allowed a 50% hard-hit rate during that span.
Bellinger is in a solid position to keep swinging a hot bat against a vulnerable arm.
