Marlins vs Phillies SGP: Luzardo limits Fish

Philadelphia Phillies lefty Jesus Luzardo has allowed two runs or fewer in eight of his past 10 starts while posting a solid 3.34 xERA and holding opposing hitters to 29.0% squared-up contact rate, so I’m anticipating him limiting the Miami Marlins tonight given their middling 98 wRC+ against southpaws.

I’m also expecting Philly stars Kyle Schwarber and Bryce Harper to lead the way offensively. Schwarber has teed off on righties to the tune of a .380 wOBA and .319 ISO, and Harper has been every bit as good with respective .415 and .301 marks.

This SGP is in play down to +300.

Mets vs Reds SGP: New York stings Singer

Cincinnati Reds starter Brady Singer has surrendered the second-highest blast contact rate with the seventh-highest xERA among starters with at least 50 innings this season, so I’m anticipating an improving New York Mets offense to have success at the dish tonight. 

The Mets rank eighth in baseball in xwOBA over the past two weeks, after all, and New York star Juan Soto has been automatic against righties with a .420 wOBA and .290 ISO since the beginning of the 2024 campaign.

Still, Singer has picked up five or more strikeouts in four of his past six starts with his strikeout percentage climbing to 20.9% after posting a 13.1% mark through his first seven outings, so I'd recommend this SGP down to +400.

  • Time: 7:10 p.m. ET
  • Where to watch: CINR, SNY

Pirates vs Athletics SGP: Tough night for Keller

Look for the Athletics to tee off on Pittsburgh Pirates righty Mitch Keller at the Sutter Health Park launching pad. He conveniently sports the ninth-highest xERA and ninth-lowest strikeout percentage among qualified starting pitchers, and Keller has fanned four or fewer batters in five of his past seven starts.

The Athletics also pace the majors in wOBA while striking out at the fourth-lowest clip in baseball at Sutter Health, and outfielder Tyler Soderstrom has posted a rock-solid .379 wOBA and .220 ISO against righties at home the past two years and hits in the heart of the order.

This SGP is good to go down to +340, too.

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.
