u8.5 (-125)
Recent history and current form both point toward a low-scoring matchup in Pittsburgh. Three of the last four meetings between these clubs have stayed Under, while both starters are trending positively. Aaron Nola has settled down lately, and Braxton Ashcraft continues to pitch consistently. With both bullpens also performing better recently, runs could be limited tonight.
PIT (-129)
The Pirates enter this series with momentum, winning three straight against Philadelphia dating back to last season while handing the ball to breakout starter Braxton Ashcraft. The right-hander owns a 2.77 ERA and has allowed just one run across his last two starts. Meanwhile, Aaron Nola continues to struggle, especially on the road, giving Pittsburgh a strong edge.

Taylor Ward o0.5 Runs (-115)
Taylor Ward continues to produce for the Orioles, scoring 28 runs through 43 games while heating up at the plate recently. He’s crossed home in back-to-back contests and now faces Zack Littell, who owns a 6.94 ERA. Ward has crushed Littell historically, going 4-for-8 with two homers and three RBI against him.

Cam Schlittler o5.5 Strikeouts Thrown (-138)
Cam Schlittler has quickly become one of the Yankees’ most reliable starters, posting a stellar 1.35 ERA with 59 strikeouts in 53.1 innings. He’s struck out six or more batters in two of his last four starts and now faces a struggling Mets lineup. Schlittler’s dominant 0.98 road ERA makes this matchup even more appealing.

Edward Cabrera o5.5 Strikeouts Thrown (-104)
Edward Cabrera enters tonight’s matchup in strong strikeout form, clearing this line in three straight starts while piling up 43 punchouts in 46.1 innings overall. The White Sox are one of baseball’s most strikeout-prone teams, ranking near the bottom of MLB in contact metrics, giving Cabrera another favorable spot to rack up Ks.

o12.5 (+100)
Kyle Freeland has surrendered a 1.032 OPS against Diamondbacks hitters, while Arizona right-hander Merrill Kelly has been a disaster in 2026, carrying a 9.92 xERA and a .346 xBA. Playing at the hitter-friendly confines of Coors Field, expect these two offenses to have a field day in the thin air.

u8.0 (-120)
If Brandon Sproat can hold his own early, the Brewers will turn to an excellent bullpen that ranks fifth in xFIP and tied for third in homers allowed per nine innings.
Colder weather and Andre Pallante’s high ground-ball rate (50%) should allow the Cardinals to limit the long ball. That’ll make it difficult to score runs in bulk, helping keep this game Under the total.
MIL (-110)
Brandon Sproat’s xFIP and SIERA are two full runs less than his ERA, suggesting he hasn’t pitched as poorly as it appears on the surface.
Andre Pallante has posted some concerning numbers against lefties (47.2% hard-hit rate, 13.2% barrel rate), and the Brewers have plenty of good ones in their lineup. This mismatch favors the visitors, and we'll take the Brewers on the ML.
