Adley Rutschman o0.5 Total Home Runs (+598)
Adley Rutschman is having a major bounce-back season, proving that he's not Matt Wieters 2.0. Against a pitch-to-contact hurler like Emerson Hancock, I like the value at getting Rutschman close to +600, compared to teammate Pete Alonso (+391).

o7.5 (-105)
The risk here, of course, is that Phillies left-hander Cristopher Sanchez spins a complete-game shutout. That's certainly in play. But Blue Jays lefty Patrick Corbin is playing with fire. His 5.27 expected ERA is more than a full run higher than his 3.98 actual ERA, and he simply misses zero bats. I still expect Philly to do most of the heavy lifting, but the Jays offense can chip away at an ace of this magnitude as one of only two teams with a strikeout rate below 20%.

Yordan Alvarez o1.5 Total Bases (-112)
Yordan Alvarez is in a strong spot to go over 1.5 total bases against Grayson Rodriguez. The Angels right hander has struggled heavily with left-handed hitters, allowing high expected production and loud contact, including a .458 xwOBA and elevated hard-hit rates. His underlying numbers suggest continued vulnerability. Alvarez enters red-hot, especially versus right-handed pitching, hitting .417 over his last 30 plate appearances with elite slugging, OPS, and strong barrel and hard-hit rates. With consistent power form and a favorable matchup, paying some juice is justified. The projection supports backing Alvarez up to -120 in this spot today as a strong value play today

Rafael Devers o0.5 Total Home Runs (+416)
o8.5 (+100)
Trusting the Giants offense is a precarious decision, but Miles Mikolas is the sort of pitcher you fade every chance you get. The veteran right-hander barely qualifies as a warm body for the Nationals, as evidenced by his fourth-percentile whiff rate, seventh-percentile strikeout rate, and ninth-percentile barrel rate. He's not fooling anyone, as his 6.39 ERA shows. On the flip side, no team has scored more runs than the Nationals, and James Wood and CJ Abrams may be champing at the bit to step in against Logan Webb, a sometimes great starter who has struggled mightily in 2026. We can clear this total even if one of these starters has a halfway decent outing.

William Contreras o0.5 Total Home Runs (+396)
Las Vegas Ballpark boasts the most hitter-friendly conditions on the slate by a country mile, and home run prices are suppressed because of it. Still, this is a good number in this situation for William Contreras against a southpaw in Jeffrey Springs, who has been homer-prone in 2026.
u10.5 (+100)
While Milwaukee should generate offense against Jeffrey Springs, Oakland's lineup has struggled badly, posting a 79 wRC+ and .289 wOBA over the last week. Kyle Harrison has been dominant, and Milwaukee's bullpen owns a 3.00 xERA and 0.54 HR/9 across the last 14 days.

o8.5 (-110)
The Yankees rank Top-3 in OPS, ISO, OBP, xWOBA, and hard hit rate when facing left-handed pitching. The Red Sox have hit righties very well over the past four weeks, sitting ninth in wOBA, ninth in ISO, and fourth in batting average. Play the Over to -120.
NYY (-135)
Ranger Suarez has started four games against teams ranking Top-10 in OPS vs. left-handed pitching, allowing 13 runs and posting a 6.13 ERA during those games. The New York Yankees lead the majors in OPS against lefties so they’re a prime candidate to cause Suarez problems. Playable to -145.
