o8.5 (-103)
Houston's offense is getting hot. Yordan Alvarez leads the league in batting, slugging, OPS, OPS+, and homers. Jose Altuve looks like he's rounding into form in his third week since returning from injury. He homered and drove in four in Friday's series opener. Houston starter Spencer Arrighetti was the pitcher of the month for May but has yet to win in June, posting a 6.19 ERA and .286 average against in three starts this month. Houston's bullpen has pitched 19 innings in the last three games. Cleveland's is more rested but has a 4.76 ERA and 2.29 WHIP over the last three.
HOU -1.5 (+152)
The odds make it tough to love Houston. The moneyline is currently too steep. If it drops to -120, it's worth taking the runs back. However, Houston has won nine games in June by a total of 31 runs—more than three runs per win. Cleveland has lost nine June games, also by 31. So there's good reason to believe a Houston win will cover the run line.

u7.5 (-110)
The New York Mets (102 runs; 23rd) and Philadelphia Phillies (99 runs; 24th) have both struggled to put up much offense over the last 30 days, and there are two solid starters on the mound tonight. The Under has also cashed in each of Cristopher Sanchez's last seven starts.
PHI (-190)
Cristopher Sanchez is having a Cy Young-level start to the season and will have the upper hand against a struggling Mets squad. The New York Mets are near the bottom of the majors in runs scored over the last 30 days, and a lineup with plenty of lefties won't get much going vs. the Philadelphia Phillies southpaw.

Bryan Reynolds o0.5 Total Home Runs (+379)
Bryan Reynolds enters Coors Field red hot, carrying a .571 ISO, 29.4% barrel rate, and 98.1 mph average exit velocity over his last six games. Tomoyuki Sugano has allowed 1.80 home runs per nine innings recently and has struggled badly against left-handed hitters, surrendering 2.27 HR/9.
Paul Skenes o6.5 Strikeouts Thrown (-116)
Paul Skenes is second in the majors in Ks per nine (10.9), and he's logged Over 6.5 strikeouts in nine of his last 10 starts.
The Rockies have struck out against the four-seamer more than any other team in the majors, and that's Skenes' bread and butter.

o8.5 (-103)
With Trevor Rogers on the mound for Baltimore, they've combined with their opponets to score in double digits in four of his last six starts. The run total has been high for LA in Yamamoto's last three starts, as the Dodgers have faced teams in the bottom half of the league in runs allowed -- and Baltimore is worse than the previous three.
LAD -2.5 (+134)
The Dodgers will start ace Yoshinobu Yamamoto, who has allowed just three runs total in his last four starts. He'll be backed by an offense that ranks second in the majors in runs, taking on a Baltimore pitching staff that allows more than five runs per contest.

MIA (+122)
Do not miss the boat on this home underdog. Miami is the better offense right now (115 vs. 110 wRC+) and pairs it with the single most dominant bullpen in baseball over the last 14 days, pitching to a pristine 2.40 ERA and an electric 10.91 K/9. The Marlins are the easiest prediction on the board.

o8.5 (-105)
Atlanta and Chicago send two of the best lineups in baseball to the dish, and they respectively rank eighth and third in wOBA against lefties for the campaign. The two clubs have also trended to the Over, and I'm particularly expecting White Sox southpaw Anthony Kay to struggle considering he's saddled with the fifth-highest xERA in baseball among the 100 pitchers with at least 60 innings this year.
ATL (-112)
I'm fading Chicago White Sox lefty Anthony Kay on Thursday. He's sporting the fifth-highest xERA among the 100 pitchers with at least 60 innings, after all. Plus, the Atlanta Braves enter ranked eighth in wOBA against southpaws for the season and sixth in overall xwOBA across the past 14 days.

o8.5 (-110)
The Yankees rank Top-3 in OPS, ISO, OBP, xWOBA, and hard hit rate when facing left-handed pitching. The Red Sox have hit righties very well over the past four weeks, sitting ninth in wOBA, ninth in ISO, and fourth in batting average. Play the Over to -120.
NYY (-135)
Ranger Suarez has started four games against teams ranking Top-10 in OPS vs. left-handed pitching, allowing 13 runs and posting a 6.13 ERA during those games. The New York Yankees lead the majors in OPS against lefties so they’re a prime candidate to cause Suarez problems. Playable to -145.

o7.5 (-116)
The Giants are pacing the majors in wOBA and are fourth in xwOBA while averaging 5.5 runs per game across the past 30 days, and the Braves ranks ninth in wOBA against right-handed pitchers and third in overall xwOBA, so I think this total is too low.
SF (+124)
The Braves have dropped five of six while averaging just 2.8 runs per game and ranking 29th in wOBA without Ronald Acuna Jr. (hamstring), and it’s been a smoke-and-mirrors start for veteran lefty Martin Perez, and there’s serious statistical correction ahead of his .230 BABIP and 80.2% strand rate considering they’re both high-end marks about pitchers with at least 60 innings this season. San Francisco is just the offense to kick-start the regression, too. The Giants are pacing the majors in wOBA and fourth in xwOBA over the past 30 days, after all.
