Juan Soto o1.5 Hits+Runs+RBIs (-113)
Juan Soto finds himself in another elite spot Tuesday night against Mariners right-hander George Kirby. Soto has been one of the most reliable hitters in baseball in elite-rated matchups, cashing this prop at nearly a 60% clip across 213 games over the last three seasons. The recent form is encouraging as well, with Soto clearing the number in six of his last 10 elite-rated games. Kirby enters with underwhelming hard contact and strikeout metrics, while Soto owns a 54.5% hard-hit rate and 22.7% barrel rate over his last 30 plate appearances against right-handed pitching. Expect plenty of offensive opportunities.
New York has scored at least two runs in eight straight games, and Kirby is going through a rough patch, posting a 6.88 ERA over his last three starts. If the Mets can post a couple runs, I’m confident that Seattle will handle the rest of the total against Peralta, who is posting the worst hard-hit percentage (39.6%) and strikeout rate (23.9%) of his career so far in 2026. I’m backing the Over at even money or better.

u7.5 (-105)
Sanchez owns a 1.47 ERA on the season despite allowing a .337 batting average on balls put in play, the highest of his career. Buehler is capable of limiting the Phillies as well. He has allowed two runs in all three starts against Bottom-10 teams in batting average, and they sit 28th on the season. Playable to -120.
PHI -1.5 (+100)
Since the beginning of May, the Padres rank dead last in batting average, wOBA, and .614 OPS while striking out at the league's highest rate. Sanchez has pitched at least seven innings of shutout ball in five consecutive starts and should mow down the Padres in this one. Back the Phillies to win with room to spare. Playable to -115.

Ben Rice o1.5 Hits+Runs+RBIs (-120)
Ben Rice finds himself in a strong matchup against Guardians right-hander Gavin Williams. Rice has crushed right-handed pitching all season, posting a 1.066 OPS and 19.05% barrel rate, while carrying a scorching .620 wOBA over his last five games. Williams has struggled against left-handed hitters, allowing significant hard contact, barrels, and elevated contact, particularly on the road. Over his last 60 lefties faced, opponents own a .378 xBA and .639 xSLG against him. Rice also boasts 83.9% arsenal coverage against Williams' pitch mix, making this an excellent spot for the Yankees' young slugger to do damage.
u7.0 (+102)
I see this as good to -110.
Cole is still Cole, and even though the Guardians will make him labor, this is still a guy who has allowed zero barrels since returning, with a 2.19 expected ERA. Cleveland’s contact profile is more annoying than explosive, after all, last night was the first time they scored more than four runs in 13 games.

Kazuma Okamoto o0.5 Total Home Runs (+425)
Holmes has given up 11 home runs this season, including four in his last two starts. He’s allowing a lot of hard contact this year, ranking in the 17th percentile in hard hit rate this season, with six homers coming off his fastball. Enter Kazuma Okamoto, who leads the Jays with 13 home runs, most of which off four-seamers, and has the hardest hit rate on the team, ranking in the 95th percentile in baseball.
Nathan Lukes owns a .440 batting average and a 195 WRC+ in his last 29 at-bats since returning from the IL for Toronto and has cleared his 0.5 hits total in seven straight outings. Another value bet is Vladimir Guerrero Jr. Under 0.5 strikeouts. He’s cleared this total 12 times in his last 15 outings and ranks in the 97th percentile in strikeout rate this season, with just a 13% K-rate against the slider.

Pete Crow-Armstrong o0.5 Total Home Runs (+487)
Crow-Armstrong's underlying numbers are outstanding, posting a 63.2% hard-hit rate, 26.3% barrel rate, and .772 xSLG over the last week. Jeffrey Springs has allowed 50% of his contact against lefties to come in the air, creating an appealing matchup for a hitter consistently generating lift and power.

u9.5 (-150)
Zac Gallen has pitched significantly better at home this season, while Arizona's bullpen enters in strong form with a 1.69 ERA over its last three games. Recent results also point toward lower-scoring contests, with both teams scoring five or more runs in just two of their last six games.
AZ +1.5 (+102)
Ohtani's great, but not unbeatable. He's lost two of his last five starts, and the Dodgers are just 5-4 in games Ohtani pitches. Bettors have Ohtani fever, though. The Dodgers are such favorites, they're impossible to bet. Even giving up runs, L.A. is favored. Getting even money and runs for Arizona is an easy call, although if the Arizona moneyline gets much higher—say +185—it's worth a flier on an outright upset.
