The Nationals continue to be one of baseball's best Over teams at 44-25-3, thanks to them scoring the most runs in MLB while boasting the fourth-highest team ERA. The Royals only need a few runs to contribute to our vaunted number here, and I like them to break through against Washington's subpar pitching staff. Even if starter Andrew Alvarez has a halfway decent 3.70 ERA, his expected ERA is 4.76, and his hard-hit rate sits in the 11th percentile. He's a ticking time bomb.

Chase Burns has developed into a legitimate ace, and while I lean toward the Under here, I prefer taking the Reds to ride the right-hander to victory, especially if he keeps the runs off the board as I expect. The Mets have been scoring a bit more of late, but they've also been held to two or fewer runs four times in their last eight games.

While the A's aren't playing any more games at Las Vegas Stadium this season, let's not forget that Sutter Health Park is its own launching pad. No, the Pirates won't plate 23 runs as the Rockies did on Sunday, but they'll do their part. But I'm more interested in how Nick Kurtz and Tyler Soderstrom (and the A's other boppers) fare against Jared Jones and the Pittsburgh bullpen behind him.

Atlanta and Chicago send two of the best lineups in baseball to the dish, and they respectively rank eighth and third in wOBA against lefties for the campaign. The two clubs have also trended to the Over, and I'm particularly expecting White Sox southpaw Anthony Kay to struggle considering he's saddled with the fifth-highest xERA in baseball among the 100 pitchers with at least 60 innings this year.

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.

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.
