Jo Adell o1.5 Total Bases (+115)
MacKenzie Gore has a simplistic pitch-type selection against right-handed batters as he throws his four-seamer 49% and his curve 25%. That makes this an ideal matchup for Jo Adell, who’s crushed four-seamers (170 wRC+) and curves (203) alike and has a .339 ISO against LHP.
Reid Detmers o6.5 Strikeouts Thrown (-114)
The Rangers don’t hit lefties well, posting the second-lowest hard-hit rate (27.4%) and the third-worst K% (25.9%). Detmers’ 3.23 xERA and 3.07 FIP indicate a quality starter, so he stands an increased chance of working deeper into the game and letting his 17.5% K-BB% do the talking.

The Rays are an enigma. No one projected them to even be in the race, and here they are leading the AL East in late May. They've been demonstrably better than the Orioles, who do not have a starter announced. At this number, with Shane McClanahan on the bump for Tampa, there was never an alternative option.

CLE (-174)
Guardians right-hander Tanner Bibee is the weirdest pitcher in MLB this season. Somehow, he is 0-6 despite a 3.75 ERA and a generally solid FIP. He's not an overpowering hurler, and the Nationals have a dangerous offense, but he's not going to 0-7. I just don't see Zack Littell keeping Cleveland off the board. The only area where Littell thrives is in his 71st-percentile walk rate, which can be construed as a negative. He lives in the zone, and he gets killed in there.

PHI (-125)
Jesus Luzardo's 4.85 ERA is certainly quite poor, but everything under the hood looks solid. He ranks in the 82nd percentile or better in fastball velocity, exit velocity, chase rate, whiff rate, strikeout rate, walk rate, and hard-hit percentage. He's a buy-low candidate in fantasy baseball and a chief reason why I like the Phillies over the Padres here.

ATH (+100)
The Mariners are deploying starter Luis Castillo as an opener in front of Bryce Miller in the latest gambit to get the veteran right. So far, nothing's worked, as he's 1-5 with a 6.41 ERA in 46 1/3 innings, and the numbers under the hood aren't much better. The A's, notably Nick Kurtz and Shea Langeliers, will feast on Castillo early at Sutter Health Park in what could be a laugher.

Jordan Walker o1.5 Hits+Runs+RBIs (-156)
The St. Louis Cardinals have scored 14 times in two meetings vs. the Reds, and they'll do plenty more damage against Brady Singer, who has an 8.47 ERA this month.
Jordan Walker already has three runs, four hits, and seven RBI in the series. His hot streak continues today.
Jordan Walker o0.5 Total Home Runs (+335)
Reds starter Brady Singer has allowed three dingers in two straight starts, and 2+ homers in four of his last five. Jordan Walker has gone yard in two straight games and has feasted on right-handed pitching, batting .311 with 11 of his 15 home runs vs. righties.

u7.0 (+102)
I'm on the market here and wouldn't play this below 7, but at a plus-money price with how the Yankees are swinging lately, I'm inclined to lean towards the Under. The Yankees' offense, one of the best in the sport for long stretches over the past three years, has really struggled lately. It's been held to three runs or fewer in nine of its past 14 games. It should be ugly conditions in Yankee Stadium today, add in Ryan Weathers' strikeout rate, which ranks in the 97th percentile of baseball, and both offenses should stay fairly quiet.
TB (+122)
Rasmussen has been a New York Yankees nightmare, posting a 1.03 ERA across eight career outings against the Bronx Bombers. This type of stat is meaningless without context, and we have it here. He's been able to do this because the Yankees are constantly reliant on their power, and Rasmussen is one of the best barrel suppression arms in baseball, sitting in the 96th percentile in such rates this season. Playbale to +100.
