Starting off today, we have:

  1. Tampa Bay Rays vs. New York YankeesWith Yankees starting pitcher Clarke Schmidt having a rocky start this season and Rays starter Zack Littell giving up three runs or fewer in three straight outings, our pick here is the Under 9.5 Runs.

At 2:10 PM Eastern, it's time for the:

  1. Houston Astros vs. Chicago White SoxAstros' Hunter Brown, fresh from a 25-innings streak with just one run, will face a White Sox lineup struggling to produce runs at home. The Under 8 Runs seems like the smart pick.

4:05 PM Eastern sees a game between the:

  1. Colorado Rockies vs. San Francisco GiantsBoth teams have had pitching struggles lately. For this one, we're liking the Giants Run Line -1.5 and Over 8 Runs.

6:05 PM Eastern brings the:

  1. Arizona Diamondbacks vs. Philadelphia PhilliesPhiladelphia's Aaron Nola may be struggling with a 5.40 ERA, but his numbers at home suggest better days are ahead. The same can be said for Diamondbacks' starter Brandon Pfaadt. Predicting a low-scoring game here, go for the Under 9 Runs.

7:10 PM Eastern hosting the:

  1. Chicago Cubs vs. Milwaukee BrewersBoth bullpens have struggled, and while Brewers' starter Jose Quintana is impressive, some regression is possible due to high contact rates. We like the Brewers Moneyline -108 and Over 8 Runs.

7:15 PM Eastern features the:

  1. Los Angeles Dodgers vs. Atlanta BravesBraves' Spencer Schwellenbach has been solid, while Dodgers' Roki Sasaki has held opponents to three runs or fewer in all six starts. Anticipate a relatively low-scoring game with the Under 8.5 Runs.

9:38 PM Eastern, the:

  1. Detroit Tigers vs. Los Angeles AngelsTigers' Jack Flaherty has been solid, but faces an Angels lineup that leads the league in home runs per at-bat. Bet on Over 8 Runs.
