The historically struggling Colorado Rockies (9-50) face the Miami Marlins (23-34) at pitcher-friendly loanDepot park, where Max Meyer’s strikeout potential creates multiple wagering opportunities. With German Marquez’s 8.42 road ERA facing Miami’s improving offense, the Marlins -1.5 run line (+115) offers excellent value against a Colorado team that’s lost by multiple runs in 35 of 50 defeats this season.

After a devastating 18-2 loss, the Yankees (35-22) face an uphill battle against the Dodgers (36-22) with ace Yoshinobu Yamamoto (6-3, 1.97 ERA) taking the mound against Ryan Yarbrough (2-0, 3.06 ERA).

The Padres (32-24) aim to secure their series win against the visiting Pirates (22-37) in Sunday’s decisive game at Petco Park. With San Diego’s impressive 19-10 home record facing Pittsburgh’s dismal 9-21 road performance, the odds heavily favor the playoff-contending Padres. Both starters—Andrew Heaney (3.41 ERA) and Randy Vasquez (3.58 ERA)—have performed well, but San Diego’s superior offense and dominant bullpen create significant advantages. Get our analysis and top plays and predictions.

The struggling D-backs (27-31) turn to ace Corbin Burnes (3-2, 2.72 ERA) to halt their nine-losses-in-ten-games skid as they face the surprising Nationals (28-30), who ride a four-game winning streak into Chase Field. Despite Arizona’s recent woes, sharp money favors the home team behind Burnes’ dominant 2.11 ERA at home against Washington’s Mitchell Parker (4-4, 4.65 ERA), who struggles significantly on the road (5.31 ERA).

This pivotal rubber match features developing right-handers Jack Kochanowicz (3-6, 5.07 ERA) facing Cleveland’s strikeout artist Gavin Williams (4-3, 4.27 ERA). With the Guardians boasting a solid 16-11 home record and clear bullpen advantages, they enter as -172 favorites. Williams’ impressive 10.3 K/9 rate matches perfectly against an Angels lineup ranking 5th in MLB in strikeouts per game. Our analysis points to Cleveland securing the series with a projected 5-2 victory, making Guardians -1.5 (+135) and Under 8.5 runs (-110) particularly attractive betting options. Don’t miss Williams’ strikeout prop (Over 5.5, +105) – the day’s strongest value play against a whiff-prone Los Angeles offense struggling for consistency on the road.

This interleague rubber match features a compelling pitching duel between Red Sox ace Garrett Crochet and Braves right-hander Bryce Elder at Truist Park. With Boston claiming the opener 5-1 before Atlanta responded with a 5-0 shutout, Sunday’s game presents several intriguing betting opportunities worth exploring.

Crochet has been nothing short of dominant this season, boasting a stellar 2.04 ERA with 89 strikeouts across 75 innings, establishing himself as a legitimate AL Cy Young contender. Meanwhile, Elder (4.50 ERA) returns from Triple-A looking to solidify his spot in Atlanta’s rotation despite struggling against left-handed hitters – a potential advantage for Rafael Devers, who’s been carrying Boston’s offense with a .370 batting average and 33 RBIs in May.

Sharp money has pushed the Red Sox from -125 to -135 favorites, while the total has dropped from 8.5 to 8 runs, suggesting professional bettors expect pitching to control this matchup. Our top play features Crochet’s strikeout prop (Over 7.5, +100), offering excellent value against a Braves lineup ranking 18th in K% versus lefties.

Will Crochet’s elite strikeout ability lead Boston to a series victory, or can Atlanta’s strong home record (17-10) propel them to another win? Read our full analysis and betting predictions for this compelling interleague showdown.

The Chicago White Sox (18-40) face the Baltimore Orioles (21-36) in Sunday’s series finale at Camden Yards, where an intriguing pitching contrast offers surprising betting value. Despite both teams struggling this season, Adrian Houser brings his perfect 0.00 ERA to challenge veteran Charlie Morton, who’s laboring with a 7.09 ERA. This stark pitching mismatch creates several attractive betting angles, particularly with the White Sox as underdogs. With Morton allowing 4+ earned runs in 6 of his 10 starts and Chicago’s offense averaging 5.1 runs over their last 8 games, the White Sox run line (+1.5) at -155 offers solid value. The bullpen advantage may also tilt toward Chicago, as Baltimore’s relief corps has been heavily taxed during this series, with closer Félix Bautista likely unavailable after consecutive appearances. White Sox infielder Lenyn Sosa remains a bright spot for Chicago and presents a challenging matchup for the struggling Morton, making this contest potentially more competitive than the standings would suggest.

Jacob deGrom takes the mound for Texas against Erick Fedde in what promises to be a pitching mismatch at Globe Life Field. Despite the Rangers’ recent offensive struggles, deGrom’s elite form (2.42 ERA, 0.96 WHIP) gives Texas a significant edge over St. Louis’ serviceable but unspectacular Fedde (3.90 ERA, 1.30 WHIP). With deGrom allowing 2 or fewer runs in 7 of his last 8 starts and boasting an impressive 8.8 K/9 ratio, the Rangers -1.5 run line (+135) offers compelling value. The under 7.5 runs (-110) also merits consideration in this pitcher-friendly park, while deGrom’s strikeout prop (over 7.5, -115) stands out as today’s top prop bet. Rangers’ Marcus Semien is showing signs of breaking his slump, potentially providing the offensive spark Texas needs to secure the series victory.

Looking for the best bets in today’s Pirates vs. Padres matchup? Dylan Cease takes the mound at pitcher-friendly Petco Park against a Pittsburgh team that ranks near the bottom of MLB in most offensive categories. The Padres hold significant advantages in starting pitching, bullpen performance, and home record (20-10 vs. Pirates’ 9-21 road mark). Our analysis points to strong value on the Padres -1.5 run line (+110) and particularly on Cease’s strikeout prop (Over 7.5 Ks), as he faces a Pirates lineup averaging 8.69 strikeouts per game. With San Diego’s excellent 17-9 record against losing teams and Pittsburgh’s continued offensive struggles, expect the Padres to secure a comfortable victory behind Cease’s dominant performance in what projects as a low-scoring affair.

Our expert analysis breaks down this primetime Saturday showdown between MLB’s elite franchises. After dropping the opener 8-5, the Yankees (35-21) seek revenge against the defending champion Dodgers (35-22) at Dodger Stadium.

The pitching matchup features rookies Will Warren (3-2, 4.09 ERA) against Landon Knack (2-2, 5.22 ERA), creating excellent betting opportunities. Both young arms have shown vulnerability, especially to the long ball, setting up what projects as another high-scoring affair after Friday’s 13-run opener.

Our top play focuses on the Over 9 runs (-122), supported by both pitchers’ struggles and the offensive firepower displayed in recent meetings. For value seekers, the Dodgers as home underdogs (+118) offer substantial appeal given their 22-10 home record and psychological edge after last year’s championship.

Don’t miss our highest-rated player prop: Aaron Judge Over 1.5 Total Bases (-110). The MLB batting leader (.392) faces a pitcher allowing a .298 average to right-handed hitters, creating a premier opportunity for the Yankees slugger.
