ATH +1.5 (-120)
I am not high on Ryan Weathers, and I don’t think the Yankees are either, which is why it's more of a stopgap while the rest of the rotation gets healthy rather than an everyday guy. The pitch-to-contact guy who doesn’t get groundballs (bottom 40 percentile career) and historically bottom 30 percentile chase rate is one that a viable A's lineup can have success against.
o8.0 (-115)
The Yankees have five hitters with .375 or higher xwOBA against Springs in 20+ plate appearances, and his low-velocity fastball against a lineup that posted a 114 wRC+ vs LHP last season is a matchup where he probably manages things but gives up runs. Both pitchers will give up something here. I made this total exactly 9.

This is a big number for a Kansas City Royals squad that has been one of the best Under teams in the league at 4-8 O/U. The offense is coming off a three-game set in Cleveland, where it managed just seven runs and cashed the Under in each game. The Chicago White Sox now face Seth Lugo, who has allowed just three total runs through two starts. The wind is blowing out, which is inflating this total, but it feels like an overreaction given that both teams have recently been lined closer to 7.5.
