Orioles vs Blue Jays SGP: Baltimore bombs Blue Birds
The Baltimore Orioles rank fifth in wOBA against righties while also pacing the majors in xwOBA over the past two weeks, so I like the Orange Birds in an upset spot. Toronto Blue Jays starter Trey Yesavage has screaming statistical correction coming, considering his 2.15 ERA is miles below his 4.15 xFIP, too.
Baltimore star Pete Alonso sports a solid .356 wOBA against righties for the season while also hitting the Over in this market in six of his past eight games, and Samuel Basallo paces the Orioles in both wOBA (.392) and OPS (.920) against righties.
I’d play this SGP to +400.

Rays vs Marlins SGP: Tampa takes series opener
Tampa Bay Rays righty Drew Rasmussen has fanned 5+ batters in six of his past eight starts while spinning a tidy 3.29 xFIP, and the Miami Marlins are 17th in wOBA against righties and 25th in overall xwOBA across the past 30 days. So, with Tampa ranking fifth in wOBA against righties, I’m confident in the Rays winning this series opener.
Jonathan Aranda is primed to snap out of an 0-for-11 stretch at the dish, too. He hit the Over in this market in eight of his prior nine games and has teed off on righties to the tune of a .388 wOBA, .248 ISO, and .910 OPS, after all.
This SGP is playable down to +275.
- Time: 7:10 p.m. ET
- Where to watch: MIAM, RAYS
Reds vs Cardinals SGP: St. Louis pulls away from Cincy
With the wind blowing out at Busch Stadium, and a pair of struggling starters hitting the hill, I’m anticipating this total going Over the number. Additionally, I’m confident in this St. Louis Cardinals offense outscoring the Cincinnati Reds without star Elly De La Cruz (hamstring).
Cincy ranks 27th in xwOBA over the past two weeks, and the Reds also sit 30th in bullpen ERA and 26th in xFIP over the past 30 days, after all. The Brady Singer leg of this SGP provides a nice boost to the odds because it’s uncorrelated, and the Cards strikeout against righties at the eighth-highest clip.
This SGP is in play down to +500.
- Time: 8:15 p.m. ET
- Where to watch: CARD, CINR
- SGP picks: 1-8, -5.0 units
