Giants @ Braves

Truist Park gets a one-night makeup under clear, 91°F skies, with a 5 mph wind blowing toward right field. Atlanta carries a seven-game winning streak into a matchup San Francisco plans to open with Anthony Molina. I’m laying the run and a half instead of paying -194 because Atlanta’s clearest advantages extend across the full nine innings. Bryce Elder brings a 3.95 ERA over 143.2 innings and a 3.49 ERA at home, while Molina has no MLB starts this season and only 9.1 major-league innings. Molina’s 2.89 ERA and 0.96 WHIP in that limited work are respectable, but his short role puts greater weight on the relief units behind him. That bullpen comparison is the foundation of the ticket. Atlanta’s current relievers have a 2.58 ERA and 1.00 WHIP over 185.0 innings; San Francisco’s have a 4.73 ERA and 1.45 WHIP over 129.1. Over the last 10 days, the Braves’ bullpen has a 1.63 ERA versus 4.47 for the Giants. Atlanta also owns the cleaner defensive profile, with a .988 fielding percentage and 60 errors compared with San Francisco’s .982 and 88. There are real cautions. Elder has a 5.82 ERA over his last three starts, the Giants are producing 4.7 runs per game over their last 10 compared with Atlanta’s 3.0, and San Francisco leads the season series 4-1. Those facts keep this from being a high-confidence play. But Atlanta’s stronger pitching depth, defense, season run differential and plus-money run-line price outweigh the short-term offensive and head-to-head concerns.

Mets @ Rays

The Trop hosts a first-place club riding four straight wins and a last-place visitor beginning a road trip after a 2-5 week. That is the scene, but the ticket rests on the matchup underneath it. Robert Stock owns a 7.40 ERA and 1.94 WHIP through 20.2 IP, and his latest start ended after 4.0 IP, 10 H and 7 ER. He has not completed five innings in four consecutive starts. Ian Seymour is not spotless—his home-start ERA is 5.58—but his broader foundation is firmer: a 4.21 ERA and 1.15 WHIP over 107.0 IP, plus a 3.71 ERA with 24 K and 4 BB across his last three starts. The handedness splits reinforce the gap. Tampa Bay has hit .266 with a .757 OPS against right-handed pitching; New York has hit .234 with a .695 OPS against lefties. Behind them, the listed Rays bullpen carries a 2.37 ERA and 0.96 WHIP over 258.0 IP, compared with a 3.04 ERA and 1.06 WHIP over 80.0 IP for the current Mets arms. The season-wide separation is substantial as well: Tampa Bay has a +54 run differential, while New York sits at -53. Seymour’s home results and Tampa Bay’s five-reliever workload in Sunday’s 11-inning game keep this from being a high-confidence play. Still, the combination of starting-pitcher stability, handedness performance and bullpen support is enough for me to lay the 1.5 at a plus price.

Padres @ Reds

Great American Ball Park brings the heat and home-run volatility, but San Diego arrives with the more dependable run-prevention path. Michael King is the foundation of the bet. He carries a 3.23 ERA and 1.17 WHIP, has a 2.29 ERA across his last three starts, and has completed four consecutive quality starts. Brady Singer enters with a 4.72 ERA and 1.42 WHIP, including a 5.09 ERA over his last three. The matchup reinforces that advantage. Singer has allowed left-handed hitters a .303 average and .864 OPS with 19 home runs; San Diego starts four left-handed batters. King has shown almost no platoon gap, holding lefties to a .650 OPS and righties to a .651 OPS. San Diego also owns the better offensive split against right-handed pitching, .235/.706 compared with Cincinnati’s .224/.692. The late innings provide the other decisive separation. San Diego’s current bullpen owns a 2.34 ERA and 1.11 WHIP, while Cincinnati’s is at 4.10 and 1.30. Over the last ten days, those ERAs are 2.10 and 7.22. San Diego has recent workload concerns among several relievers, but the full performance gap remains substantial. I’m using the moneyline because the handicap is built around San Diego’s superior path through nine innings, not an expectation of a particular winning margin.

Mariners @ Red Sox

Fenway gets two clubs looking for a reset after lopsided Sunday losses. I’m setting the streaks aside; the starting-pitcher matchup, handedness splits and late-inning options point me to Boston. Payton Tolle owns a 3.09 ERA and 1.09 WHIP, including a 2.45 ERA across his last three starts. Seattle has hit .213 with a .634 OPS against left-handed pitching. On the other side, Boston has hit .246 with a .711 OPS against right-handers, while George Kirby carries a 5.19 road ERA. Tolle’s 3.64 home ERA is another meaningful edge over Kirby’s road results. Boston’s current bullpen arms have combined for a 2.60 ERA and 1.09 WHIP, compared with Seattle’s 3.91 ERA and 1.26 WHIP. Boston’s recent relief results are a legitimate concern, but the season-long records of its primary high-leverage options give me more confidence if this reaches the late innings. Kirby’s latest outing—7.2 innings, one earned run, nine strikeouts and one walk—keeps me away from Boston -1.5. He demonstrated the version capable of keeping this close. I’m paying the moneyline price and asking Boston only to win.

Marlins @ Nationals

The four-game set closes at Nationals Park with Washington holding the stronger offense, but Miami carrying the steadier pitching path through nine innings. Ryan Gusto enters with a 1.85 ERA over 24.1 August innings and has allowed two earned runs across his last 14.1 innings. Will Dion has been effective—3.67 ERA and 1.14 WHIP over 34.1 innings—but this is his first start of the season, with a managed workload expected. That could bring Washington’s bullpen into the game early. Miami’s bullpen owns a 3.67 ERA and 1.29 WHIP, compared with Washington’s 4.37 ERA and 1.34 WHIP. The recent separation is wider: Miami has a 3.55 bullpen ERA over the last ten days, while Washington is at 6.86. During this series, the Marlins have allowed five earned runs over 13 relief innings; the Nationals have allowed 11 over 11. Washington’s .754 OPS and 5.2 runs per game are better than Miami’s .722 OPS and 4.3 runs per game. That offensive advantage—and the uncertainty surrounding Miami’s first game with a changed lineup—keeps me away from the run line. At this price, I’m backing Miami to win behind the more established starter assignment and the better relief profile.

Tigers @ Twins

Monday night at Target Field brings two struggling division rivals and a narrow price. I’m backing Minnesota because its advantages are concentrated in the parts of this matchup I trust most. Taj Bradley offers the more established starting-pitcher baseline: a 3.97 ERA over 147.1 innings, including a 3.51 ERA at home. Jackson Jobe owns a similar 3.93 ERA, but it covers only 18.1 innings across four starts. His 1.42 WHIP and short outings leave considerably more of this game to Detroit’s relief corps. Minnesota also has the better offensive profile against right-handed pitching, batting .250 with a .738 OPS compared with Detroit’s .242 and .723. That matters against a Tigers offense producing only 1.6 runs per game over its last five and 2.2 over its last ten. The immediate bullpen situation strengthens the home side’s case. Minnesota used only Jeff Hoffman for 0.2 innings Sunday, while Detroit used Tyler Kinley, Tanner Rainey, Kyle Finnegan and Jacob Waguespack. Minnesota also leads the season series 7-2 and is 5-0 against Detroit at Target Field. Bradley’s 5.74 ERA over his last three starts and Detroit’s superior season-long pitching numbers keep this from being a high-confidence play. At this modest price, however, Minnesota’s more established starter, stronger right-handed-pitching split and cleaner relief setup are enough for the moneyline.

Brewers @ Cubs

It’s 85°F at Wrigley with an 11 mph wind blowing toward center as the NL Central leaders open a four-game series. This is a tight matchup, so I’m backing Milwaukee to win without asking it to cover 1.5 runs. Chicago owns the more favorable starting-lineup matchup. The Cubs have a .267 AVG and .807 OPS against left-handed pitching, while Clay Holmes enters with a 0.47 ERA over his last three starts. Kyle Harrison provides enough recent form to keep that advantage from deciding the entire game, however: he has a 1.83 ERA in August and a 2.45 ERA across his last three starts. The separator is what happens after the starters leave. Milwaukee’s current bullpen owns a 2.92 ERA and 1.09 WHIP, compared with a 3.78 ERA and 1.25 WHIP for Chicago. The recent difference is wider: a 1.69 ERA for the Brewers’ bullpen over the last seven days against 6.62 for the Cubs. Milwaukee also gets Abner Uribe back with his 2.05 ERA and 1.03 WHIP. Milwaukee’s 85-52 record and +177 run differential do not determine tonight, but they reinforce the bullpen advantage. Chicago is 77-60 with a +127 differential, so this remains a matchup between two winning teams rather than an invitation to lay a run line. Holmes and Chicago’s production against lefties are why I’m passing on Milwaukee -1.5 at +136. At Brewers ML -106, I only need the stronger full-game pitching operation to finish the job.

Athletics @ Rangers

Roof closed in Arlington, two starters carrying very different home-road stories, and both clubs arriving after their bullpens covered multiple innings Sunday. I’m taking the run with Oakland rather than asking the underdog to win outright. Gage Jump’s 4.69 season ERA is a concern, but his 3.49 ERA across seven road starts is the more relevant split tonight. He also enters after allowing two earned runs with nine strikeouts over 6.1 innings. Jacob deGrom’s 2.67 home ERA is the counterweight—and why this is not an Athletics moneyline play—but his recent volatility matters when laying 1.5 runs: a 7.71 ERA over his last three starts, including eight earned runs in 3.2 innings last time out. The late innings do not create a clear Texas advantage. The current bullpens have nearly identical season ERAs—4.24 for Oakland and 4.20 for Texas—while their last-10-day marks favor the Athletics, 3.13 to 5.18. Texas also needed six relief innings Sunday, and Jakob Junis worked on consecutive days. Oakland has produced a .720 OPS and 4.4 runs per game this season, compared with Texas at .713 and 4.0. Texas has the stronger overall pitching and defensive profile, but the combination of Jump’s road results, deGrom’s recent inconsistency and the bullpen comparison makes the extra run the right side of this ticket.

White Sox @ Astros

Two division leaders meet under a closed roof at Daikin Park, with Houston returning home and Chicago continuing its road trip. This is a competitive matchup, but the underdog owns the stronger overall body of work. Chicago is 72-64 with a plus-44 run differential; Houston is 69-68 with a minus-43 differential. The White Sox also average 4.8 runs per game with a 4.15 team ERA, compared with Houston’s 4.6 runs and 4.62 ERA. Those records do not determine tonight’s result, but they make Houston difficult to justify as the favorite. Peter Lambert has the better season ERA, 3.66 to Anthony Kay’s 4.09, but his August ERA is 6.12 and he has allowed 13 earned runs in 14.1 innings over his last three starts. Kay carries a 3.49 August ERA. Chicago also owns a .723 OPS against right-handed pitching, while Houston has produced a .709 OPS against lefties. The principal danger is Houston’s seven right-handed hitters facing Kay, who has allowed an .852 OPS to right-handed batters. That keeps this from being a high-confidence position. The counterweight is Houston’s modest aggregate production against lefties and Chicago’s recent bullpen advantage: a 1.61 ERA over the last five days versus 4.95 for Houston. Chicago’s stronger season profile, recent relief work and Lambert’s uneven August are enough to take the plus price. The White Sox +1.5 costs -192, so the better ticket is the moneyline and a bet on Chicago winning outright.

Orioles @ Rockies

Coors Field raises the volatility for both lineups, and neither starter comes without risk. The better ticket is Baltimore to win by any margin, leaning on the stronger full-game pitching profile rather than laying 1.5 runs. Tanner Gordon’s latest start was excellent, but his location split is difficult to overlook: a 9.33 ERA over 18.1 innings in four home starts, compared with a 1.59 ERA over 17.0 innings in three road starts. He has also allowed a .900 OPS to left-handed hitters and an .856 OPS to right-handed hitters. Baltimore’s confirmed lineup can challenge him from both sides, with Pete Alonso carrying a .901 OPS against right-handed pitching and a 1.050 OPS in August. Cade Povich presents genuine downside of his own. He has a 9.90 road ERA over 10.0 innings, only five starts this season and a 21-day gap since his last one. That uncertainty is why the Orioles run line asks too much. The separation comes behind the starters. Baltimore’s current bullpen owns a 3.79 ERA and 1.20 WHIP, compared with Colorado’s 4.56 ERA and 1.58 WHIP. The Orioles also have the stronger overall pitching baseline, with a 4.19 team ERA against Colorado’s 5.49. At a manageable -118, the moneyline captures Baltimore’s advantages while respecting Povich’s uncertainty and the one-run volatility of Coors.

Yankees @ Angels

Monday night in Anaheim pits the stronger full-game roster against the home club’s clearest advantage: Walbert Ureña. That makes this less about who owns the better starting-pitcher line and more about which team has more ways to finish the game. Ureña is the main obstacle. He carries a 2.94 ERA and a 2.54 ERA at Angel Stadium, while Elmer Rodríguez enters with a 4.70 ERA across five starts. But Ureña has walked nine batters over his last 14.2 innings, including five in 3.2 innings last time out. The Yankees average 3.63 walks per game and send seven left-handed hitters against a pitcher whose opponents have a .650 OPS from the left side, compared with .560 from the right. Rodríguez’s limited track record prevents me from calling the starting matchup comfortable, but his latest outing—six innings, three hits, three earned runs, six strikeouts and two walks—was enough to keep this from being an automatic fade. New York does not need him to outpitch Ureña deep into the night. The bullpen is where the Yankees separate. Their current relievers own a 2.63 ERA and 1.09 WHIP, compared with 3.79 and 1.35 for the Angels. Over the last five days, the Yankees’ bullpen has a 2.57 ERA while the Angels’ bullpen has an 8.10 ERA. New York also brings the stronger offensive baseline, averaging 4.5 runs with a .721 OPS against Los Angeles’ 4.1 runs and .680 OPS. Ureña’s home performance makes a close game too plausible for me to lay -1.5. Over the full nine innings, though, New York’s deeper offense and substantial relief-pitching advantage are enough for me to back the Yankees to win outright.

Phillies @ Diamondbacks

Chase Field is closed for a late-night series opener between two clubs fighting for October position. With the price close to even, I’m backing Philadelphia’s current pitching trajectory and the matchup presented by its left-handed lineup. Aaron Nola’s 5.03 season ERA remains a concern, but he has delivered 18.0 innings, four earned runs, 24 strikeouts and six walks over his last three starts. Brandon Pfaadt owns the better season ERA at 3.51, but his last two outings produced five earned runs against Boston and four against Chicago. His four-seam fastball also recorded a 9% whiff rate and .451 xwOBA in the latest start. Philadelphia starts seven left-handed hitters against Pfaadt, who has allowed lefties a .262 average, .760 OPS and 11 home runs, compared with a .205 average, .551 OPS and one homer against righties. The Phillies have a .244 average and .721 OPS against right-handed pitching; Arizona has a .231 average and .687 OPS in the same split. Arizona’s 3.08 bullpen ERA, Pfaadt’s 3.24 home ERA and Sunday off-day keep this from being a high-confidence play. Philadelphia’s bullpen has nevertheless posted a 2.45 ERA over the last ten days, while Nola’s recent run prevention gives the Phillies a viable route through the early innings. I want Philadelphia simply to win rather than asking for a two-run margin, so the moneyline is the ticket.

MLB · Giants @ Braves

Anthony Molina

Molina is opening a bullpen game, so he needs both enough length and enough swing-and-miss to reach three strikeouts. He has only three strikeouts across 9.1 major-league innings this season, with a 13.3% whiff rate on his four-seamer and 14.3% on his changeup. Atlanta's lineup also has several contact-oriented hitters near the top. Even if Molina works into a fourth inning, under 2.5 is the side I want.

UNDER 2.5 Strikeouts-124
MLB · Giants @ Braves

Jonah Cox

Cox has eight steals in only 58 at-bats, including three in a recent start. Bryce Elder has allowed 11 successful steals in 13 attempts this season, and Sean Murphy has yet to throw out a runner in four attempts. Cox still has to reach base, but his speed and this pitcher-catcher matchup make +320 too large for a player willing to run aggressively.

OVER 0.5 Stolen Bases+320
MLB · Padres @ Reds

Brady Singer

Singer has allowed at least three earned runs in six consecutive starts and seven of his last eight. The matchup offers no relief: left-handed hitters own a .303 average and .864 OPS against him, and San Diego starts four lefties. His contact-heavy sinker is especially vulnerable in the heat at Great American Ball Park.

OVER 2.5 Pitcher Earned Runs-143
MLB · Padres @ Reds

Michael King

King has completed six innings in five of his last six starts and cleared this number in six of his last eight. He enters with a 2.29 ERA across his last three, no meaningful platoon weakness and four consecutive quality starts. Cincinnati’s elevated strikeout rate gives him a path to efficient innings even in a dangerous park.

OVER 17.5 Pitcher Outs-125
MLB · Mets @ Rays

Robert Stock

Stock has recorded fewer than 15 outs in four consecutive starts, needing at least 80 pitches each time despite never completing the fifth. Tampa Bay’s contact-heavy lineup is particularly troublesome because Stock’s cutter, sinker and sweeper have all been hit hard. With five left-handed bats facing a pitcher who has allowed an .845 OPS to lefties, I expect traffic and another early call to the bullpen. Getting plus money on the under is the best part.

UNDER 14.5 Pitcher Outs+102
MLB · Mets @ Rays

Junior Caminero

Caminero has cleared this number in 13 of his last 15 games and has recorded a hit in 14 of those 15. He enters with home runs in consecutive games and bats behind Yandy Díaz and Jonathan Aranda, two hitters carrying on-base percentages above .360. Stock has allowed right-handed hitters a .333 average and .877 OPS, giving Caminero multiple paths to two combined hits, runs and RBIs.

OVER 1.5 H+R+RBI-135
MLB · Mariners @ Red Sox

Payton Tolle

Tolle has cleared this number in six of his last eight starts and owns 141 strikeouts in 125.1 innings. His four-seamer generates a 29.1% whiff rate, while his curveball is at 41.2%. That combination is built to exploit a Seattle lineup averaging 8.71 strikeouts per game and hitting just .213 with a .634 OPS against left-handed pitching. With six Mariners in tonight's order already above 90 strikeouts, I make seven the likelier side of this number.

OVER 6.5 Strikeouts-113
MLB · Mariners @ Red Sox

George Kirby

Kirby has allowed at least six hits in five of his last eight starts, including six during last week's excellent 7.2-inning outing. Both sides of the plate have found consistent contact against him: lefties are hitting .278 and righties .286. His recent road starts produced seven, eight and nine hits allowed, matching the larger warning in his 5.19 road ERA. Boston hits .246 against right-handers, and Fenway's dimensions give that contact additional ways to become hits even when the ball stays in the park.

OVER 5.5 Pitcher Hits Allowed-140
MLB · Marlins @ Nationals

Will Dion

Dion has worked exclusively in relief this season, averaging 30 pitches with a high of 64. Now he is being stretched into his first start under a managed workload. Recording 12 outs requires him to complete four innings, and I do not think his expected pitch ceiling leaves enough margin for that at plus money.

UNDER 11.5 Pitcher Outs+106
MLB · Marlins @ Nationals

Heriberto Hernandez

Hernandez owns an .886 OPS with 10 home runs in 117 at-bats against left-handed pitching. He has exceeded this number in nine of his last 15 games, has homered twice in this series and leads off against a starter unlikely to work deep. That should give him five-plate-appearance upside against a Washington staff that has allowed 24 earned runs over its last five games.

OVER 1.5 Total Bases+110

Andres Chaparro

Chaparro has four home runs in 45 at-bats against right-handers while producing a 1.131 OPS in that split. He also has three homers in his last 32 at-bats and is positioned third in the order. Gusto has pitched well recently, but his 43.9% hard-hit rate leaves enough home-run exposure for Chaparro to be worth a shot at 6-to-1.

MLB · Tigers @ Twins

Taj Bradley

Bradley has 169 strikeouts in 147.1 innings, an average of 6.5 per start, and he has cleared this number in five of his last eight outings. His most recent start produced 11 strikeouts, with his whiff rate reaching 40%.

OVER 5.5 Strikeouts-113
MLB · Tigers @ Twins

Dillon Dingler

Dingler has exceeded 1.5 combined hits, runs and RBIs only once in his last 15 games. He is batting .159 with a .411 OPS over that stretch and has not homered, while Detroit has scored just 1.6 runs per game over its last five and 2.2 over its last ten.

UNDER 1.5 H+R+RBI+100

Harrison has recorded more than 15 outs in only one of his last eight starts. Since returning to the rotation, he has finished at exactly five innings or earlier in all four outings.

Clay Holmes

Holmes has allowed two earned runs or fewer in 11 of his 13 starts this season, including one total earned run across 19 innings in his last three. He has also produced a 0.75 ERA over his first two starts at Wrigley.

UNDER 2.5 Pitcher Earned Runs-110
MLB · Athletics @ Rangers

Jacob deGrom

I’m playing deGrom’s recent workload at plus money. He has completed six innings just once in his last eight starts, with five of his last six ending before the sixth was finished. Oakland has several hitters near the top of the order taking competitive at-bats, which can elevate his pitch count even without producing many runs. DeGrom can pitch well and still cash this Under; asking him for a full six innings is too much at this price.

UNDER 17.5 Pitcher Outs+105
MLB · Athletics @ Rangers

Henry Bolte

Bolte’s leadoff assignment gives him the plate-appearance volume I want at essentially even money. He has recorded a single in 10 of his last 15 games and is batting .321 in August. DeGrom has allowed a .261 average to right-handed hitters, and Bolte’s modest power profile makes the single more attractive than paying -170 for any hit. The slider is the obvious obstacle, but the price does not properly reflect Bolte’s recent contact or lineup position.

OVER 0.5 Singles-104
MLB HR · Athletics @ Rangers

Jake Burger

Burger’s power against left-handed pitching makes +413 worth taking. He has nine home runs in 118 at-bats against lefties this season, carries an .881 OPS in that split and has homered in four of his last 15 games.

OVER 0.5 Home Runs+413
MLB · White Sox @ Astros

Anthony Kay

Kay has allowed at least five hits in seven of his last eight starts. Houston is sending seven right-handed hitters against him, and righties have batted .283 with 16 home runs in 364 at-bats against Kay this season. Five hits is a modest threshold for a starter with a 4.89 road ERA facing a deliberately right-loaded lineup.

OVER 4.5 Pitcher Hits Allowed-141
MLB · White Sox @ Astros

Miguel Vargas

Vargas has drawn a walk in 13 of his last 15 games and has 84 this season. Lambert has issued seven walks across his last three starts, and Vargas should receive at least four plate appearances from the third spot. The combination of elite patience, lineup position and plus money makes this worth taking.

OVER 0.5 Walks+120
MLB · Orioles @ Rockies

Tanner Gordon

I’m fading Gordon’s seven-inning gem in Washington now that he is back at Coors. He has allowed 19 earned runs over 18.1 innings in four home starts, surrendering at least four in every one of them. Baltimore arrives averaging 5.3 runs across its last 10 games and can send five left-handed bats at a pitcher who has allowed a .900 OPS to lefties. Four earned runs is a fair target, and getting plus money makes the over worth taking.

OVER 3.5 Pitcher Earned Runs+104
MLB · Orioles @ Rockies

Blaze Alexander

Alexander has recorded a single in 11 of his last 15 games and in both starts since returning from the injured list. He owns a .331 average and .873 OPS against right-handed pitching, while Gordon has allowed right-handed hitters to bat .319. Gordon has also surrendered high batting averages on his four-seamer, slider and sinker. With Coors’ spacious outfield creating room for balls to fall, one single is a reasonable ask even from the seventh spot.

OVER 0.5 Singles-140
MLB · Yankees @ Angels

Walbert Urena

Ureña has issued 64 walks in 116.1 innings, including nine across his last 14.2. He walked five in only 3.2 innings last time out.

OVER 2.5 Pitcher Walks+133
MLB · Yankees @ Angels

Elmer Rodriguez

Rodríguez has recorded 16 outs in only one of his five major-league starts. His first four outings ended after 4.0, 4.2, 4.1 and 4.0 innings, and he is making just his sixth start on four days' rest after completing a career-best six innings against Houston. His 13 walks in 23 innings create too many opportunities for an early pitch-count exit, even against this struggling Angels offense. With New York's bullpen carrying a 2.63 ERA, the Yankees have no reason to stretch their rookie to reach the sixth.

UNDER 15.5 Pitcher Outs-168
MLB · Phillies @ Diamondbacks

Aaron Nola

I’m buying Nola’s current form at a favorable number. He has recorded at least five strikeouts in five of his last six starts, including 24 over 18 innings in his last three. His knuckle curve owns a 44.1% whiff rate and gives him a put-away pitch against an Arizona lineup with strikeout opportunities around Carroll, Tawa and Waldschmidt. At plus money, I only need five before Philadelphia turns it over to the bullpen.

OVER 4.5 Strikeouts+103
MLB · Phillies @ Diamondbacks

Bryce Harper

Harper enters batting .362 with a 1.057 OPS over his last 15 games and has exceeded this number eight times during that stretch. The platoon matchup is the separator: Harper owns a .300 average and 1.031 OPS against right-handed pitching, while Pfaadt has allowed lefties a .262 average, .760 OPS and 11 home runs. Batting third should give Harper at least four chances, and one extra-base hit or two singles gets this home at a strong plus price.
