Tyler Glasnow Over 6.5 strikeouts (-154)
Tyler Glasnow has been lights out this season. The big righty has struck out 38 hitters in just 33 innings of work. Glasnow has cashed the Over in Ks in four straight, and he sat down nine hitters last time out via the strikeout.
The veteran has never faced the Miami Marlins before, but they’ve struck out 10.33 times across their last three games. Glasnow is one of the most electrifying arms in the big leagues, and he has 18 Ks in 14 innings in day games.
Glasnow will carve up the Marlins this afternoon at Dodger Stadium.

Shohei Ohtani 2+ hits (+195)
Shohei Ohtani is once again doing it all for the Los Angeles Dodgers. He’s hitting .278, and the Japanese superstar comes into the series finale today red-hot. Ohtani has six hits across the last two games.
He was 3-for-3 on Sunday against the Chicago Cubs, then on Monday, Ohtani was 3-for-5 in the opener against Miami. After a day off from hitting on Tuesday since he was pitching, Ohtani is back at DH this afternoon, and his track record against Sandy Alcantara is impressive.
Ohtani is 2-for-7 against the right-hander with a pair of home runs. Ohtani is hitting .280 at home, and he’s seeing the ball very well in day games, batting .351.

Tarik Skubal Over 6.5 strikeouts (-102)
Tarik Skubal is his usual dominant self in 2026. The left-hander has a 2.72 ERA, and he’s struck out 38 batters in 36.1 innings of work. Skubal is up against a very good Atlanta Braves lineup tonight, but they’ve been striking out a lot more lately (8.33 Ks across last three games).
The southpaw has cashed the Over in punchouts in three of his last four appearances, and he’s struck out 12 in 12 innings at Comerica Park this season. Skubal will bring his best stuff this evening, and miss numerous Atlanta bats.
