Martin Perez Under 2.5 earned runs (-152)
Martin Perez has been a stud this season for the Atlanta Braves. He’s gone 2-1 with a 2.22 ERA across six appearances, including six starts. The lefty takes the hill today against the Seattle Mariners, and he’s cashed the Under in earned runs allowed in four straight appearances.
Perez tossed five scoreless last time out against the Detroit Tigers, and he’s had success against Seattle in the past. The veteran has limited them to a .227 average across 75 at-bats, and the M’s have been an underwhelming offensive team this year, ranking 22nd in runs scored.

Zack Wheeler Over 6.5 strikeouts (-102)
Zack Wheeler only made his 2026 debut on April 25, but he’s been dominant since returning. The right-hander has overpowering stuff, and he’s struck out 14 in just 11 innings of work. Last time out, Wheeler racked up eight Ks in six frames against the Miami Marlins.
Today, he’ll face an Athletics group that is towards the bottom of the Majors in strikeouts, and they were just carved up by Cristopher Sanchez on Tuesday, striking out 10 times. Wheeler’s stuff is nasty, and he’s always been a strikeout pitcher. This matchup certainly plays in his favor.

Aaron Judge Over 0.5 runs (-149)
Aaron Judge is batting .273 this season, and he’s come across the plate 35 times in just 36 games, playing a key part in the New York Yankees offense on a daily basis. Judge has cashed the Over in runs in every contest in May so far, collecting eight runs during that span.
He’ll face Texas Rangers righty Nathan Eovaldi tonight, and he’s 14-for-46 against him lifetime with a .304 average. Judge is getting on base a lot, and his track record of success vs. Eovaldi is hard to ignore. The slugger will keep the run streak alive.
