Yankees vs. Royals SGP: Bronx Bombers rough up Wacha

Kansas City Royals veteran Michael Wacha is eyeing statistical correction with his 2.70 ERA way below his 4.08 xFIP and supported by an unsustainable 82.5% strand rate and .232 BABIP that are also way below his respective 72.7% and .287 marks from last year.

As a result, I like the New York Yankees to rough up the righty. In particular, outfielder Trent Grisham and second baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr. The pair of left-handed hitters respectively sport solid .360 and .351 wOBAs against righties since the beginning of last season.

This SGP is in play to +300.

Reds vs. Mets SGP: Plenty of runs at Citi

Pairing the game total Over with the Over on Cincinnati Reds lefty Nick Lodolo’s strikeouts provides an odds boost because the legs are uncorrelated.

Lodolo’s 16.4% strikeout rate is miles behind the 26.2% mark through his first four seasons, and the Reds and New York Mets respectively rank third in sixth in xwOBA over the past two weeks. 

Turning to the Matt McLain leg, he’s priced for profit because his .248 BABIP is way below his .292 mark from last year, despite his 34.4% squared-up contact rate checking higher than last year’s 32.6% mark. He’s also piled up five runs, eight hits, and seven RBI across his past 10 games.

I like this SGP at +350 and higher.

Rockies vs. Dodgers SGP: Dodgers fill up the box score

Colorado Rockies righty Tanner Gordon has surrendered an equally poor .398 wOBA to left-handed batters and .390 mark to righty bats during his career, so it’s no surprise he’s been saddled with a 6.96 ERA and 5.68 xERA.

So, with the wind blowing out at Dodger Stadium, I’m targeting the heart of the Los Angeles Dodgers lineup. Freddie Freeman (.371), Will Smith (.375), and Kyle Tucker (.352) all sport high-end wOBAs against right-handed pitchers since the beginning of the 2025 campaign, and the Dodgers already teed off on Gordon earlier this season for six runs across just four innings on April 20.

I’d back this SGP to +300

Neil takes a numbers-based approach to his handicapping and complements his in-depth statistical analysis with a keen eye on the markets to provide the best available odds. He loves to lean on his rolodex of idioms to offset his inner nerd. When it comes to wagering, he throws down on anything that catches his eye at bet365, Betway and BetVictor. He also keeps a close eye on CoolBet because the polar bear brand often has outlier NHL and NFL moneyline prices.

Neil graduated with honors from St. Thomas University in 2007 before completing his BEd at Acadia University in 2010. After teaching a myriad of courses and subjects, he found a groove delivering fun lessons to exceptional learners in non-traditional classroom environments. If his decade-plus teaching run taught him anything about sports betting, it’s to stay the course and use the summer – or offseason – to refresh and prepare to be better in the year to come.
