George Springer o0.5 Total Home Runs (+405)
Pirates starter Mitch Keller has surrendered a home run in each of his last three starts. So how about another Springer dinger? The Jays outfielder is starting to find a groove at the plate with a hit in six straight games, homering three times in that stretch.
Dylan Cease o7.5 Strikeouts Thrown (-160)
The Pittsburgh Pirates have struck out 23 times already in the first two games of the series. I’m expecting strikeout merchant Dylan Cease to continue mowing down batters in this matchup.
He’s gone Over today’s posted total of 7.5 strikeouts with 9+ strikeouts in three straight outings. He's second in K/9 this season, averaging 8.1 strikeouts per start, while also ranking in the 97th percentile in whiff rate.

Kyle Schwarber o0.5 Total Home Runs (+325)
Kyle Schwarber isn't too far removed from a stretch where he hit nine homers in eight games, and he'll enjoy home-field advantage at one of the most home run-friendly venues in the majors. Guardians starter Parker Messick has allowed five dingers in his last four games, while Schwarber is tied for second in HRs vs. lefties (6).

o7.5 (+110)
While New York has struggled to score, this Rays lineup has been mashing over the past week, ranking fifth in the majors in runs scored and first in on-base percentage. They are also inside the Top 3 in average, slugging, and OPS.
Rasmussen has gotten plenty of run support in his starts, and scoring overall, as the 7.5-run total has been crossed in seven of his nine starts this season.

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.

Shohei Ohtani o1.5 Total Bases (+101)
Shohei Ohtani enters Sunday on a nine-game hit streak, with Over 1.5 total bases in eight of those contests.
He'll feast against Brewers starter Brandon Sproat, who has a bloated 1.50 WHIP this season after allowing 38 hits in 40 2/3 innings.
Shohei Ohtani o0.5 Total Home Runs (+250)
Over his past nine games, Shohei Ohtani leads the majors in batting average (.467), wxOBA (.530), and sits second in slugging percentage (.867). Ohtani will enjoy a favorable matchup against Brewers starter Brandon Sproat, who has allowed at least one dinger in four of his last five starts and carries a massive 5.75 ERA this season.

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.
