Pick made: 8 hours ago

Chase Burns has been dominant this season, posting a sub-2.00 ERA while clearing this strikeout number in three straight starts. He now faces a Royals team riding a six-game losing streak that struck out 12 times in its last game.

Spencer Steer also finds himself in a favorable matchup against Luinder Avila. Steer has at least one hit in four straight games, including a three-base effort last time out, and looks well-positioned to cash his two total bases prop.

-145

The Seattle Mariners are trading as -130 favorites against the New York Mets, and I’m hitting the button on that number because I price the Mariners closer to -150 favorites in this spot. The Mets are expected to stack the top of their lineup with left-handed bats against the right-handed Emerson Hancock, but he has made some important adjustments to his pitch mix this season. As a result, left-handed hitters are batting just .209 with a .623 OPS against him. The changeup was a major problem for Hancock last season, as he surrendered plenty of home runs off that pitch. This year, however, he has leaned much more heavily on a back-foot slider and a four-seam fastball. That adjustment has played a significant role in his success and should serve him well in this matchup against the Mets.

When estimating his batting average talent, Julio Rodriguez is projected as the 9th-best batter in the game by the leading projection system (THE BAT X).. Julio Rodriguez is projected to bat 2nd in the lineup in this matchup.. Among all stadiums, T-Mobile Park has the 9th-lowest average fence height.. Long-balls are generally more common at parks with shallow fences, and T-Mobile Park has the shallowest in the majors.. Julio Rodriguez will have the handedness advantage against Austin Warren in today's matchup... and the cherry on top, Warren has a large platoon split.

Shohei Ohtani projects as the 4th-best batter in the majors, via the leading projection system (THE BAT X).. Shohei Ohtani is penciled in 1st in the lineup in today's game.. The #3 stadium in Major League Baseball for boosting BABIP to LHB, according to the leading projection system (THE BAT), is Chase Field.. A correlation exists between high heat and more offense (and fewer whiffs), and this game is expected to have the highest temperatures of the day at 85°.. The Arizona Diamondbacks have just 1 same-handed RP in their bullpen, so Shohei Ohtani can likely count on never facing a bullpen mismatch all game.

Junior Caminero continues to crush the baseball, hitting .409 over the last week with 13 home runs on the season. Ryan Weathers has allowed all eight of his homers this year to right-handed batters, which sets up well for the powerful Tampa Bay slugger.

TB (+115)

Pick made: 8 days ago

Drew Rasmussen vs. the New York Yankees is a mismatch on paper — the righty is 4-1 with a 1.03 ERA and 51 punchouts in eight career games against New York. Coming off a thrilling comeback win on Friday, the division-leading Tampa Bay Rays are primed to keep the foot on the gas behind their dynamic arm to create more separation in the AL East.
