Trey Yesavage has been a bright spot for the Blue Jays, posting a 2.25 ERA and holding opponents to a .207 average across six starts. Toronto has won six straight against Baltimore, while the Orioles have dropped two consecutive home games. Ernie Clement's strong history against Brandon Young and OBP adds value to his runs prop.
Trey Yesavage o6.5 Strikeouts Thrown (-105)
Trey Yesavage is averaging 9.84 K/9 while sitting in the 88th percentile in Whiff% as well as the 81st percentile in K%.
The Orioles have barely seen any splitters this season, and that's Yesavage's bread and butter for getting swings and misses.

The Padres enter on a four-game road winning streak and have won five of their last six meetings with Washington. Michael King continues to pitch well away from home, while Fernando Tatis Jr. is heating up with four multi-hit games in the past week. Foster Griffin has struggled recently, allowing 14 earned runs across three starts.

YRFI/NRFI (No: -109)
Mitch Keller and Bailey Ober have been among the most reliable first-inning pitchers in baseball this season. Keller owns a 9-2 NRFI record and hasn't allowed a first-inning run in three straight starts, while Ober is 10-1 and has gone nine consecutive outings without trouble. Both offenses also struggle early.

YRFI/NRFI (No: -103)
Neither lineup has done much damage in the first inning lately, making this NRFI appealing. Brandon Sproat hasn't allowed a first-inning run in five straight starts, while Peter Lambert owns a 6-1 NRFI record and a sub-4.00 ERA. Milwaukee is hitting just .205 in opening frames this season.
o8.5 (-115)
Peter Lambert has been far less effective at home, with a 4.32 ERA driven by rough outings in his last two home starts. Milwaukee righties have the third-lowest pull rate vs. RHP during May. That will negate the effectiveness of his sinker/slider combo, which Lambert utilizes 44% of the time in same-sided matchups.

u7.0 (-105)
The Miami Marlins are tied for 27th in home runs and have posted an ISO of .117 against right-handed pitching this month, ranking them 29th in the majors.
The New York Mets sit tied for 21st in homers, 30th in SLG, and 30th in OPS.
With power lacking, it'll be difficult to score rnus.
NYM (-135)
The New York Mets have the pitching advantage with Christian Scott taking the bump. He owns a 2.8 FIP and 3.0 ERA over the past month despite a .328 batting average on balls put in play, which should drop moving forward.
Tyler Phillips’ xERA is more than two runs higher than his ERA, suggesting regression could be coming.

Eugenio Suarez o0.5 Total Home Runs (+402)
Suarez's power upside makes him an intriguing value play against Martin Perez. The slugger is 6-for-11 with a homer lifetime versus the left-hander, who allows plenty of airborne contact. All three of Suarez's homers this season have come at home, where he's been most dangerous.
Matt Olson o0.5 Total Home Runs (+254)
Olson draws a favorable matchup against Brady Singer, who has surrendered six homers across his last two starts and struggles badly against left-handed hitters. The Braves first baseman has 15 long balls this season, including six in May, and owns two career homers against Singer.

u9.5 (-105)
While I expect the Yankees to score enough to cover the run-line, Ginn will still be decent. He does a great job limiting hard contact with a hard-hit rate that ranks in the top 14% of baseball, which is essential against the Yankees. On the other side, we've already spoken about how Weathers whiff-inducing stuff should carry him. I'd play this to -122.
NYY -1.5 (+105)
Ryan Weathers has, somewhat to my surprise, been impressive for the Yankees, carrying a top-15 percentile strikeout rate (28.3%) that plays against an Athletics group whiffing at an above-average clip. On the other side, J.T. Ginn's 10.6% walk rate forces him into hitter's counts, where he's allowing a .308 xwOBA, exactly the spot a hot Bronx offense feasts. Play to -110.

YRFI/NRFI (No: -110)
These teams have consistently produced NRFIs all season, each posting 38-19 records in the market. Jesus Luzardo has allowed only one first-inning run all year and owns excellent career numbers against Los Angeles. Roki Sasaki is 8-1 in NRFIs, while Philadelphia's offense has started slowly recently.

Bryan Woo has been generating plenty of strikeouts lately, recording 34 punchouts in 31 home innings and surpassing his strikeout mark in three of his last four starts. Arizona has been more prone to strikeouts on the road, while Julio Rodríguez enters hot with a five-game hitting streak. Meanwhile, Ryne Nelson's 4.65 ERA gives Seattle an edge.

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.
