Pirates at Phillies SGP: A Pitcher's Duel in Philly

The Pittsburgh Pirates and Philadelphia Phillies face off tonight, with Paul Skenes vs. Zack Wheeler on the hill. Wheeler has been lights out lately, posting a 2.56 xERA across his last two outings while allowing just a 31.3% hard hit rate. The righty has cashed the Under in earned runs allowed in five straight outings as well. 

As for Skenes, he's not striking out hitters at the rate as last season, but the reigning Cy Young winner is still missing bats. He's averaging 12.69 K/9 across his last five appearances, and he's hit the Over in punchouts in two of his previous three. Philly is striking out a lot right now, averaging 10 Ks over their last three contests

With two elite starters on the mound and both capable of working deep into games, this shapes up as a low-scoring matchup,

Rays at Royals SGP: The Caminero Show

Junior Caminero is absolutely tearing the cover off the baseball right now. He owns a mind-boggling .955 ISO across his last six games, and he's homered seven times during that span while carrying a 33.3% barrel rate. The matchup also plays in his favor, going 3-for-6 lifetime off Seth Lugo with two home runs. 

I'm also eyeing the Tampa Bay Rays star to pile up the hits. He's batting .455 over the last week, and Caminero has cashed the Over in hits in three of his last five contests. The Rays superstar has five hits across his last two games alone.

Cardinals at Braves SGP: McGreevy Takes Advantage of Struggling Atlanta

St. Louis Cardinals starter Michael McGreevy is in good form, posting a respectable 3.74 FIP over his last two outings while allowing just a 35.1% hard hit rate. He's surrendered Under 2.5 earned runs in four of his last five starts, and the righty tossed six scoreless last time out. 

McGreevy is also coming up against an Atlanta Braves offense in horrendous shape. They have compiled 29 wRC+ in the last five games while batting just .167 as a lineup. 

McGreevy's command has also been impressive. Over the last month, McGreevy has walked just 1.86 hitters per nine innings. He has allowed just one free pass in each of his previous two outings.
