o8.5 (+105)
The Milwaukee Brewers have also been hitting. Sunday’s 11-3 loss snapped a streak of four straight scoring five or more. Yamamoto has allowed 3+ runs in four of his last five starts, surrendering six home runs over that period.
Milwaukee will want to get to him early — Yamamoto has a 7.00 first-inning ERA. The Brewers hit .263 with 110 OPS+ in the first and have six first-inning runs in the last two games.
LAD -1.5 (+100)
The Los Angeles Dodgers scored 11 runs yesterday, the third time in seven games they’ve hit double figures. L.A. has scored 5+ in six of the last nine. Shohei Ohtani, who had a rare early-season slump, has now hit in nine straight, hitting .457 in the process. The L.A. batters face Brandon Sproat, who has been sub-replacement this year with a 5.75 ERA and 1.50 WHIP.

u7.5 (-124)
Chicago's 60 wRC+ is third-worst in the majors over the past two weeks. They’ve managed just a .294 xwOBA, hindered by a 26.1% K rate that is third-worst in that span.
Houston starter Peter Lambert has far better road splits, with a .200 BABIP and a .270 FIP outside of Daikin Park.
Both lineups will struggle to find runs against the starters.
CHC -1.5 (+130)
Yordan Alvarez's absence on Sunday is huge, given Shota Imanaga has a 2.12 HR/9 rate vs. LHH but just a 0.65 HR/9 rate vs. RHH.
Over the past two weeks, Houston’s .179 wOBA, 13 wRC+, and .000 ISO vs. LHP are the worst in the league.
There’s too much juice for me to take Cubs ML, but there’s value on the run line given Houston’s lack of production and poor bullpen performance.

SF

Both teams have a chance to continue piling up runs in a series that's seen 26 runs through the first two games. Noah Schultz walks too many hitters and allows loud contact on fly balls, so even SF's lineup would be remiss if it didn't capitalize. The White Sox pound lefties (117 wRC+) and SF has the worst SIERA (4.88) in relief this month.

Jo Adell o1.5 Total Bases (+115)
MacKenzie Gore has a simplistic pitch-type selection against right-handed batters as he throws his four-seamer 49% and his curve 25%. That makes this an ideal matchup for Jo Adell, who’s crushed four-seamers (170 wRC+) and curves (203) alike and has a .339 ISO against LHP.
Reid Detmers o6.5 Strikeouts Thrown (-114)
The Rangers don’t hit lefties well, posting the second-lowest hard-hit rate (27.4%) and the third-worst K% (25.9%). Detmers’ 3.23 xERA and 3.07 FIP indicate a quality starter, so he stands an increased chance of working deeper into the game and letting his 17.5% K-BB% do the talking.

u7.0 (+102)
I'm on the market here and wouldn't play this below 7, but at a plus-money price with how the Yankees are swinging lately, I'm inclined to lean towards the Under. The Yankees' offense, one of the best in the sport for long stretches over the past three years, has really struggled lately. It's been held to three runs or fewer in nine of its past 14 games. It should be ugly conditions in Yankee Stadium today, add in Ryan Weathers' strikeout rate, which ranks in the 97th percentile of baseball, and both offenses should stay fairly quiet.
TB (+122)
Rasmussen has been a New York Yankees nightmare, posting a 1.03 ERA across eight career outings against the Bronx Bombers. This type of stat is meaningless without context, and we have it here. He's been able to do this because the Yankees are constantly reliant on their power, and Rasmussen is one of the best barrel suppression arms in baseball, sitting in the 96th percentile in such rates this season. Playbale to +100.
