Marlins at Mets SGP: Meyer dominates

Max Meyer tossed seven scoreless innings last weekend against the New York Mets, allowing just one hit while walking three. He's cashed the Under in earned runs surrendered in three of four.

The Miami Marlins have also dominated the Mets in recent memory, winning eight of the last 10 meetings. They've covered the run line in three of the last four matchups as well.

Meyer is a strikeout pitcher, racking up 68 Ks in 60 2/3 innings of work. He easily cashed the Over in last Sunday's outing, striking out eight Mets.

He's also hit the Over in punchouts in three consecutive appearances, and New York is striking out nine times per game across their previous three.

Cubs vs Cardinals SGP: Runs galore in St. Louis

The Chicago Cubs have won three straight against the St. Louis Cardinals, and head into the series opener on a two-game winning streak. They've covered the run line in all of those meetings, and St. Louis comes in cold, losing four straight.

The Over has also hit in three of the last five, and the pitching matchup profiles to potentially be high-scoring. 

Shota Imanaga has been getting torched, allowing 15 earned runs across his previous two appearances. While Kyle Leahy has pitched solid overall this season, he did give up give up five earned runs last time out.

Chicago's offense is hot, scoring 17 runs in their last two games.

Masynn Winn is 4-for-12 lifetime against Imanaga, and he's hitting .302 against lefties

Royals vs Rangers  SGP: Kolek carves up struggling Rangers

The Kansas City Royals head into the series opener against the Texas Rangers as an underdog, but they've actually dominated them recently, winning six of the last seven meetings. 

Stephen Kolek takes the hill, and he just threw a complete game shutout last weekend.

Since making his season debut in early May, Kolek owns a 2.77 ERA, and he's given up Under 5.5 hits in every start so far. The Rangers are 24th in hits, and they've collected just 10 hits across their last two games. 

The Under has cashed in three of the last five, and neither team is exactly tearing the cover off the baseball. MacKenzie Gore has pitched extremely well lately, allowing only four runs across his previous three starts.
