DET ML (-118)
Mlodzinski has been unusable over his last 3 with a 7.43 xERA, a 55% hard-hit rate, and outings of 3.0 and 2.1 innings, while Valdez brings a serviceable 4.44 xERA and goes deep at 6.6 IP per start, and dominated Pittsburgh for 11 strikeouts in his lone meeting. Detroit's bat is cold at 71 wRC+ vs RHP over its last 6 but that sits against 108 over its last 12, a slump inside a real lineup facing the worst starter on the slate. A price barely better than a coin flip badly underrates this pitching mismatch.
Found at 4:11 AM ET
DET Team Total o4.5 (+114)
Detroit's bats sit at 118 wRC+ over their last 6 and a matching 115 over their last 12 vs RHP, an established above-average offense, and they face Mlodzinski's 7.43 xERA, 54.8% hard-hit rate and 4.2 IP/gs over his last 3 — he lasted just 2.1 innings his last time out. Getting plus money on a settled good lineup against one of the worst arms on the board is a price that undersells how early and often Detroit gets to the runs here.
Found at 6:57 PM ET
ARI F5 ML (+122)
Bratt owns a 2.49 xERA over his last 3 facing a Boston lineup at -14 wRC+ vs LHP over its last 6 (55 over its last 12), a bat that has produced 1.6 runs per game and gone 0-5 in its starter's last five outings. Bello is making his first start in 74 days with two relief outings mixed in and is unlikely to be fully stretched, while Arizona carries an established 127 wRC+ vs RHP over its last 6 (121 over its last 12) into the matchup. Taking the first five removes Arizona's weaker bullpen from the equation, and getting plus money on the better lineup against a rusty arm is the value the ML doesn't offer.
Found at 4:11 AM ET
Mitch Bratt o3.5 Ks (-138)
Boston is whiffing at a 32.1% clip over their last 6 vs LHP while sitting at just 21 wRC+, and Bratt brings a 22.7% K rate over his last 3 who has gone 5, 7 and 6 innings in those starts. His recent modest strikeout totals came against low-K Cleveland and Colorado lineups, so they understate what he does against a far more strikeout-prone Boston order — 3.5 is a low bar against this contact profile.
Found at 6:57 PM ET
Bailey Ober u3.5 Ks (-120)
Ober owns a 9.6% strikeout rate over his last 3 starts and has totaled just 3, 0 and 4 punchouts in those outings, averaging 2.3 per start. Even with a deep outs line of 17.5 giving him the innings, a barely-there whiff rate against an Atlanta lineup that makes plenty of contact leaves 3.5 as an ask above his current level.
Found at 10:20 AM ET
CHW Team Total o3.5 (-104)
Chicago's White Sox are crushing left-handers, posting a 193 wRC+ vs LHP over their last 6 and 152 over their last 12, so even the regressed read is elite. Imanaga brings a 4.71 xERA and a 14.3% barrel rate over his last 3 into that buzzsaw, and this same lineup tagged him for 12 hits and 7 earned in 3 innings the last time they met. A team total of 3.5 at even money undervalues one of the best platoon matchups on the board.
Found at 10:20 AM ET
Tomoyuki Sugano u3.5 Ks (+122)
Sugano misses few bats at a 14.5% strikeout rate over his last 3, posting just 2 and 3 Ks in two of those outings, and the Dodgers have hammered him for an 8.84 ERA across three meetings while he averaged only 2.3 strikeouts and 3.7 innings against them. A contact-oriented Los Angeles lineup that squares him up tends to chase him early, shortening his outing and his whiff chances, so plus money on the under is the value.
Found at 4:11 AM ET
Blake Snell o6.5 Ks (-145)
Snell carries a dominant 37.5% strikeout rate over his last 3 and struck out 11 Rockies in his one prior meeting with them. Colorado has slumped to 29 wRC+ vs LHP over its last 6 and its 21.2% strikeout rate offers no protection against that kind of swing-and-miss, and his outs line of 17.5 gives him the innings to clear the number. The market is shading toward his limited recent workload, but the whiff profile against this lineup carries the over.
Found at 4:11 AM ET
Line Warning: 6.5 Ks is -145; 7+ Ks is also live here at +115 or better.

BAL @ TBR o8.0 (-102)
Tampa Bay carries an elite, established 158 wRC+ vs RHP over its last 6 (146 over its last 12) with a tiny 9.9% strikeout rate against Brandon Young's average 4.11 xERA over his last 3, while Baltimore brings 124 wRC+ vs LHP over its last 6 (117 over its last 12) against McClanahan, who owns a 46% hard-hit rate and 13% walk rate over his last 3 and is coming off an 18-day layoff and a 49-pitch outing. Neither bullpen offers relief — Baltimore's relievers sit at a 5.66 ERA over their last 12. With two strong lineups, two vulnerable starters, and a starter who isn't stretched out, a number of only 8.0 is too low for this run environment.
Found at 4:11 AM ET
Brandon Young u3.5 Ks (+102)
Tampa Bay strikes out just 9.9% of the time vs RHP over its last 6, the lowest-contact profile on the board, and Young is only a modest strikeout arm at an 18.1% rate over his last 3. His recent K totals of 5, 4, and 4 came against far more strikeout-prone lineups than this one, so those numbers overstate what he'll get here. A team that puts nearly everything in play caps his whiff output well below the posted number, and plus money on the under is the mispricing.

DET ML (-118)
Mlodzinski has been unusable over his last 3 with a 7.43 xERA, a 55% hard-hit rate, and outings of 3.0 and 2.1 innings, while Valdez brings a serviceable 4.44 xERA and goes deep at 6.6 IP per start, and dominated Pittsburgh for 11 strikeouts in his lone meeting. Detroit's bat is cold at 71 wRC+ vs RHP over its last 6 but that sits against 108 over its last 12, a slump inside a real lineup facing the worst starter on the slate. A price barely better than a coin flip badly underrates this pitching mismatch.
DET Team Total o4.5 (+114)
Detroit's bats sit at 118 wRC+ over their last 6 and a matching 115 over their last 12 vs RHP, an established above-average offense, and they face Mlodzinski's 7.43 xERA, 54.8% hard-hit rate and 4.2 IP/gs over his last 3 — he lasted just 2.1 innings his last time out. Getting plus money on a settled good lineup against one of the worst arms on the board is a price that undersells how early and often Detroit gets to the runs here.

ARI F5 ML (+122)
Bratt owns a 2.49 xERA over his last 3 facing a Boston lineup at -14 wRC+ vs LHP over its last 6 (55 over its last 12), a bat that has produced 1.6 runs per game and gone 0-5 in its starter's last five outings. Bello is making his first start in 74 days with two relief outings mixed in and is unlikely to be fully stretched, while Arizona carries an established 127 wRC+ vs RHP over its last 6 (121 over its last 12) into the matchup. Taking the first five removes Arizona's weaker bullpen from the equation, and getting plus money on the better lineup against a rusty arm is the value the ML doesn't offer.
Mitch Bratt o3.5 Ks (-138)
Boston is whiffing at a 32.1% clip over their last 6 vs LHP while sitting at just 21 wRC+, and Bratt brings a 22.7% K rate over his last 3 who has gone 5, 7 and 6 innings in those starts. His recent modest strikeout totals came against low-K Cleveland and Colorado lineups, so they understate what he does against a far more strikeout-prone Boston order — 3.5 is a low bar against this contact profile.

AI Analysis
Two strong offenses against decent starters with good bullpens behind them leave the total fairly set at 8, and New York's elite recent wRC+ clashes with a home scoring dip that makes the priced-up team total and sides too close to back.

AI Analysis
Wacha's low strikeout rate points under against Oakland's contact-heavy lineup, but he has struck out exactly 5 in each of his last 3 meetings with them, and neither side of the game offers a clean enough edge at these prices.

Ober owns a 9.6% strikeout rate over his last 3 starts and has totaled just 3, 0 and 4 punchouts in those outings, averaging 2.3 per start. Even with a deep outs line of 17.5 giving him the innings, a barely-there whiff rate against an Atlanta lineup that makes plenty of contact leaves 3.5 as an ask above his current level.

CHW Team Total o3.5 (-104)
Chicago's White Sox are crushing left-handers, posting a 193 wRC+ vs LHP over their last 6 and 152 over their last 12, so even the regressed read is elite. Imanaga brings a 4.71 xERA and a 14.3% barrel rate over his last 3 into that buzzsaw, and this same lineup tagged him for 12 hits and 7 earned in 3 innings the last time they met. A team total of 3.5 at even money undervalues one of the best platoon matchups on the board.

Flags · 4
  • COL bullpen elevated (4.3 IP over 1g) — manager likely leaves starter in longer; lean SP K/outs OVER
  • LAD — Blake Snell: 2026-05-09: 4 ER in 3.0 IP (ERA equiv 12) skewing 3-game ERA — other starts look better, don't overweight the ERA
  • COL — Tomoyuki Sugano: recent opponents low-K: TBR 12%, ARI 16% — recent opponents make less contact; today's lineup may be tougher
  • WEATHER: hitter-friendly park (APF 116) — park boosts offense, favor the over and HR props
Tomoyuki Sugano u3.5 Ks (+122)
Sugano misses few bats at a 14.5% strikeout rate over his last 3, posting just 2 and 3 Ks in two of those outings, and the Dodgers have hammered him for an 8.84 ERA across three meetings while he averaged only 2.3 strikeouts and 3.7 innings against them. A contact-oriented Los Angeles lineup that squares him up tends to chase him early, shortening his outing and his whiff chances, so plus money on the under is the value.
Blake Snell o6.5 Ks (-145)
Snell carries a dominant 37.5% strikeout rate over his last 3 and struck out 11 Rockies in his one prior meeting with them. Colorado has slumped to 29 wRC+ vs LHP over its last 6 and its 21.2% strikeout rate offers no protection against that kind of swing-and-miss, and his outs line of 17.5 gives him the innings to clear the number. The market is shading toward his limited recent workload, but the whiff profile against this lineup carries the over.
