Colorado Rockies vs Toronto Blue Jays (7:07pm, EST)
Tomoyuki Sugano Under 3.5 Strikeouts (+120) at FanDuel Sportsbook
After severely underwhelming in his rookie season with Baltimore, the Orioles were quick to let Tomoyuki Sugano walk as he finished the year with an ERA of 4.64, a WHIP of 1.331, and a FIP of 5.36.
His struggles on the mound can be pointed towards his lack of aggression as he also averaged less than one Strikeout per Inning Pitched while leading the AL in Home Runs Allowed.
Unfortunately for Sugano, his struggles are poised to persist on Monday as he faces off against the Toronto Blue Jays who are projected to replicate last year's success, ranking in the top-5 in Contact Rate and in OPS.
With the Blue Jays capable of making contact at a consistent rate, Sugano's leash will drastically shorten, leading to an early exit which will help keep him under the total on his Strikeouts prop.
Toronto Blue Jays Team Total Over 5 (-155) at BetMGM Sportsbook
Even if Sugano gets pulled early, expect the Blue Jays to continue their assault, exploiting a defense who ranks dead last in Defensive Efficiency and in Fielding Percentage.
With the Rockies struggling in coverage, the width of the Blue Jays gaps in the outfield will widen, increasing their chances of generating a Hit to help bring home their runners in scoring position.
Athletics vs Atlanta Braves (7:15pm, EST)
Bryce Elder Over 4.5 Hits Allowed (-160) at BetMGM Sportsbook
Arguably the biggest disappointment of the 2025 season, the Atlanta Braves were projected to make a run to the World Series before injuries derailed them and knocked them out of contention for the playoffs.
Bryce Elder's struggles on the mound also did them no favors, averaging an ERA of 5.30, a WHIP of 1.394, a FIP of 4.55, and over one Hit Against per Inning Pitched.
Heading into Monday night, expect Elder's struggles on the mound to be on full display as he faces off against the Athletics who continue to climb up the board in Contact Rate and in Slugger Percentage.
With Elder also struggling to generate Strikeouts, escalator bet his K's prop by placing smaller wagers on his alternate unders at the best available odds across multiple sportsbooks.
Nick Kurtz Over 0.5 Total Hit (-220) at BetMGM Sportsbook
Since the start of the 2025 regular season, Nick Kurtz was able to quickly build a case for winning the AL Rookie of the Year award, averaging over one Hit per game and a 1.002 OPS.
With Elder incapable of avoiding contact while supported by a defense who grades out poorly in coverage, expect Kurtz to continue to barrel up the ball and generate Hits at a high rate.
New York Yankees vs Seattle Mariners (9:40pm, EST)
Seattle Mariners Team Total Over 3.5 (-120) at BetMGM Sportsbook
Even though the New York Yankees were in desperate need of adding more arms to their starting rotation, the acquisition of Ryan Weathers was certainly questionable as the Miami Marlins pitcher averaged a FIP of 4.60 in 2025.
A disappointing turnaround after posting career low marks in 2024, mirroring the same struggles he had earlier in his career.
In a daunting matchup against the Seattle Mariners, expect Weathers to continue to underwhelm in his new setting, facing off against an offense who ranks above league average in Total Hits, RBIs, Runs Scored, and in On Base Percentage.
Especially with the Yankees back end bringing in a high amount of variance into Weathers start, ranking near the bottom of the board in Fielding Percentage.
