Chris Sale Over 6.5 strikeouts (-148)
Chris Sale has always been a strikeout machine, and 2026 is no different.
The hard-throwing left-hander has racked up 56 Ks in 49 innings this season, and he's cashed the Over in punchouts in four straight starts. Last time out, he carved up the Dodgers, striking out seven across seven innings of work.
Sale will face the Chicago Cubs tonight, and while they're around the middle of the pack in team strikeouts, the Cubbies have fanned 10 times per game across their last three.
Sale also has 19 punchouts in 40 lifetime at-bats against this lineup.

Trevor Story Over 0.5 runs (+140)
Trevor Story isn't having the best campaign for the Boston Red Sox, hitting just .211. However, he's been helping his team score runs lately.
Overall, Story has come across the plate 16 times in '26, and he's cashed the Over in runs in three of his last five games. On Wednesday, Story finished 2-for-3 with a home run against the Philadelphia Phillies with one run scored.
Jesus Luzardo takes the hill for the Phils tonight, and Story is 3-for-7 lifetime against the struggling lefty, who owns a 5.77 ERA.
Story is riding a three-game hitting streak, and he's served as a key piece in their offense lately. After swinging it well on Thursday, he'll keep it rolling and put himself in a position to come across home plate again.

Kyle Schwarber Over 0.5 runs (+110)
We'll stick with the same game here, but shift to the Phillies.
Kyle Schwarber is absolutely destroying baseballs lately. He's hitting .333 over the last seven days with a mind-boggling six home runs during that span, and six runs scored.
Schwarber has hit the Over in runs in six of his last seven contests.
Schwarber is 0-for-5 lifetime against former teammate Ranger Suarez, but his confidence is at a sky-high level right now, and he's getting on base a lot, reaching four times in his last two appearances.
Although Schwarber didn't score a run on Thursday, he still had a pair of walks.
