o8.5 (-115)
It’s past time for Ryan Weathers to come down to earth. His xERA of 4.63 is nearly a full run and a half over his actual. What’s pushing that expected number the most is a poor hard-hit rate and barrel rate that both rank in the Bottom 25 percentile of the sport. This Orioles lineup isn’t overwhelming with power, but the likes of Pete Alonso, Gunnar Henderson and Adley Rutschman should still be enough to punish here.
NYY (-163)
Kyle Bradish's arsenal is a problem against this New York Yankees lineup. His fastball, breaking ball, and overall pitching run value all grade in the Bottom 15th percentile, and his walk rate sits in the 24th percentile, meaning he is going to put runners on base. That's a problem against such a potent offense.

There’s no way around it — the Los Angeles Dodgers are “going through it.” That leads to a deflated moneyline price tag, however, so I’ll back MLB’s super team at a reasonable number. That’s what the market does — overreact — when one club (the Dodgers) loses three straight while their opponent (St. Louis Cardinals) wins five in a row. Then we respond to said overreaction. Michael McGreevy’s 2.97 ERA is completely phony, and LA’s lineup should bring the regression that his 6.16 xERA is begging for.
LA’s lineup is poised to break out after averaging 1.7 runs over its last three games. This lineup leads the league in wRC+ (123), and players like Shohei Ohtani and Kyle Tucker should bounce back at a discounted price. McGreevy doesn’t miss bats (sixth percentile whiff rate, 16.5% K rate) and allows loud contact (13th percentile barrel rate). He’s a soft-tosser with sub-Big League stuff, and L.A. bats should punish him accordingly.
