AI Picks · 15 Bets · Aug 29
CHW @ MIN o9.5 (+102)
Bailey Ober has a 6.14 xERA over his last 3 starts with a 55.8% hard-hit rate allowed, and Chicago has hit for a 138 wRC+ vs RHP over its last 6 games and 110 over its last 12. Erick Fedde has thrown 11.2 innings across 3 starts and has not started in 29 days, so Minnesota's 143 wRC+ vs RHP over its last 6 gets to the Chicago bullpen early. Minnesota's own relief corps has a 4.49 xERA and a 6.57 ERA over its last 12 games in a park that plays at a 106 factor, and 9.5 does not account for two lineups this hot facing this little length.
Found at 7:44 AM ET
Erick Fedde u2.5 Ks (-113)
Minnesota's 13.3 K% vs RHP over their last 6, supported by 16.7 over their last 12, is among the most contact-oriented lineups on this slate, and Fedde's 16.3 K% with a matching 17.9 Whiff% over his last 3 gives him no hidden bat-missing to fall back on. He has managed exactly 2 strikeouts in each of his 2 starts against Minnesota, and his outs line at 13.5 tells you the innings are capped near four and a half after 29 days without a start. The number needs three punchouts from a pitcher who has not reached three against this lineup.
Found at 9:23 AM ET
Sandy Alcantara u4.5 Strikeouts (-123)
Alcantara carries a 10.8 K% and 14.2 Whiff% over his last 3 starts, with 2, 1 and 6 strikeouts in those outings despite going 6.7 innings per start. Across 3 meetings with Washington he has averaged 3.0 strikeouts per start, and the Nationals put the bat on the ball at a 19.1 K% vs RHP over their last 6, 20.6% over their last 12. He is getting deep into games on soft contact rather than swing-and-miss, and five punchouts is a rate he has hit once in his last three tries.
Found at 1:31 PM ET
Martin Perez u16.5 Outs (-125)
Perez has gone 6.0, 5.0 and 4.0 innings over his last 3 starts — 18, 15 and 12 outs, trending straight down — and needed 97 pitches to record those 12 outs last time. He is walking 11.8% of hitters over that window with a 4.57 xERA, and Colorado has lifted to a 111 wRC+ vs LHP over its last 6 games. Atlanta's bullpen is fresh with a 3.30 xERA over its last 12 games, so there is no reason to stretch him, yet the line still asks for five and a half innings he has reached once in three tries.
Found at 7:44 AM ET
Nolan McLean u5.5 Ks (+115)
McLean carries a 17.1 K% and 19.9 Whiff% over his last 3 starts and has produced 3, 3 and 6 strikeouts in them, an average of 4.0 per outing against a posted line of 5.5. His 14.3 BB% over that window eats pitches without producing outs, and even at the 6.0 IP/gs he has run he is not built to reach six punchouts. Houston's 89 wRC+ vs RHP over their last 6 gets them out quickly rather than deep into counts, and the market is charging a favorite's price on a number McLean has cleared once in three tries.
Found at 9:23 AM ET
Foster Griffin u17.5 Outs (+120)
Griffin has gone 5.0, 6.0 and 5.0 innings over his last 3 starts — 15, 18 and 15 outs — and averages 5.3 IP per start, with 5.4 IP per start across his last 3 at home. He needed 105 pitches to get through 5.0 innings last time out and walks 9.1% over his last 3, so the pitch count arrives before the sixth. Cleveland's bullpen has a 2.04 xERA over its last 12 with a 32.9 K% and no work in the past two days, giving no reason to push him past 17 outs, yet the number is priced as though six innings is his default.
Found at 1:31 PM ET
BAL @ ATH u9.5 (-105)
Baltimore brings an 87 wRC+ vs RHP over its last 6 games (93 over its last 12) against Jack Perkins, whose 3.31 xERA over his last 3 starts is far better than his run column suggests. Shane Baz sits at a 3.09 xERA with a 26.4% whiff rate over his last 3, and behind him Baltimore's bullpen has a 2.12 xERA over its last 12 games with a 27.4% strikeout rate, which covers the innings after both starters exit. A 9.5 is a run above where two arms with sub-3.35 expected marks and one clearly cold offense project.
Found at 7:44 AM ET
Shane Baz o5.5 Strikeouts (+122)
Baz has a 22.7% strikeout rate and a 26.4% whiff rate over his last 3 starts, and the Athletics are swinging through pitches at a 28.4% clip over their last 6 games vs RHP with a 26.1% strikeout rate. He has averaged 7.7 strikeouts across 3 career starts against this club, going 11, 7 and 5, and his outs line at 17.5 tells you six innings are expected. His recent totals of 2 and 3 came against Minnesota and Tampa Bay, two of the lowest-strikeout lineups he could have drawn, so plus money on six punchouts against a whiff-heavy offense is the wrong side of the market.
Found at 7:44 AM ET
Jack Perkins u14.5 Outs (+139)
Perkins has thrown 13.7 innings across his last 3 starts — 5.1, 3.0 and 5.0 — which is under five innings a night, and he walks 11.3% over that window. He has not started since August 12, working out of the bullpen on August 18 and 23 instead, so he arrives without a starter's build-up and on a limited count. Baltimore's lineup hits the ball hard at a 46.4 HH% vs RHP over its last 6, and the Athletics' bullpen has not worked in two days, so there is no incentive to stretch him — the market is pricing five full innings as a 61% proposition for an arm that has averaged four and a half.
Found at 1:31 PM ET
C. Sanchez u7.5 Strikeouts (-113)
Sanchez has struck out 7, 6 and 7 over his last 3 starts — never once clearing eight — despite a 26.7 K% and 31.9 Whiff% across that window. The Angels are the wrong lineup to chase a big number against: 16.2 K% vs LHP over their last 6 and 20.8% over their last 12, the most contact-oriented profile he has faced lately. Even at 6.2 IP per start over his last 3 he projects under seven, and the posted 7.5 asks for an outing above his recent ceiling.
Found at 1:31 PM ET
Mitch Bratt u3.5 Strikeouts (+110)
Bratt has a 13.0 K% and a 12.0 Whiff% over his last 3 starts — the lowest bat-missing profile on this slate — with 4, 0 and 3 strikeouts in those outings. Length is the bigger problem: he has gone 3.0 innings in each of his last two, needing 69 pitches for the most recent three, and averages 4.0 IP per start over his last 3 with a 13.0 BB%. Four strikeouts requires both a rate and an outing length he has not produced since early August, yet the over is the priced favourite here.
Found at 1:31 PM ET
SFG | 4:05 PM ET Team Total o3.5 (-128)
Kelly has a 7.71 xERA, a 14.1 BB% and a 39.6 HH% over his last 3 starts, allowing 6, 6 and 3 earned runs while averaging 4.9 innings. San Francisco is the most stable good offense on the card against right-handers — 132 wRC+ over its last 6 and 126 over its last 12, with a 45.6 HH% over the last 6 — and seven of nine in today's order bat left-handed against him. With the wind blowing out 17 mph and Arizona's bullpen carrying a 5.17 xERA over its last 12 behind a starter who is walking everyone, four runs is a lower bar than the price implies.
Found at 1:31 PM ET
Games In Progress / Completed
Carlos Rodon u5.5 Strikeouts (-138)
Boston strikes out just 13.0% of the time vs LHP over its last 6 games, backed by 14.1% over its last 12 — the most contact-heavy matchup on the board. Rodon has averaged only 4.3 innings per start over his last 3 with a 14.5% walk rate, exiting on 76 pitches after 4.0 innings last time, and his outs line at 15.5 confirms a five-inning expectation. Across 3 starts against Boston he has struck out 4, 3 and 6, and his last 3 outings produced 6, 4 and 2. Six strikeouts requires both length he has not shown and swing-and-miss this lineup does not give up, and the price is treating it as close to a coin flip.
Found at 7:44 AM ET
Jake Bennett o4.5 Ks (+100)
Bennett has struck out 5, 6 and 6 over his last 3 starts, clearing this number in every one, with a 23.6 K% and a 27.0 Whiff% over that window that says the strikeouts are earned on missed bats rather than called strikes. New York's 24.1 K% vs LHP over their last 6 sits right alongside 25.3 over their last 12, so this is an established swing-and-miss lineup against left-handers, and his outs line at 16.5 gives him the five-plus innings the rate needs. Even money on a number his last three outings all beat is the mispricing.
Found at 9:23 AM ET
DET Team Total u2.5 (+102)
Detroit has a 60 wRC+ vs LHP over its last 6 games and 53 over its last 12 — the same bad number in both windows, not a slump — and it draws Blake Snell, who owns a 1.96 xERA, a 35.9% whiff rate and a 7.5% hard-hit rate allowed over his last 3 starts. Snell has gone a full 6 innings in each of those outings while allowing 1, 1 and 0 earned runs, and the Los Angeles bullpen behind him is fresh with a 3.18 xERA and a 30.1% strikeout rate over its last 12 games. Three runs is priced as the likelier outcome here, and against this arm this lineup has not been a three-run offense in a month.

Erick Fedde has thrown 11.2 innings across 3 starts and has not started in 29 days, so Minnesota's 143 wRC+ vs RHP over its last 6 gets to the Chicago bullpen early. Minnesota's own relief corps has a 4.49 xERA and a 6.57 ERA over its last 12 games in a park that plays at a 106 factor, and 9.5 does not account for two lineups this hot facing this little length.

Minnesota's 13.3 K% vs RHP over their last 6, supported by 16.7 over their last 12, is among the most contact-oriented lineups on this slate, and Fedde's 16.3 K% with a matching 17.9 Whiff% over his last 3 gives him no hidden bat-missing to fall back on. He has managed exactly 2 strikeouts in each of his 2 starts against Minnesota, and his outs line at 13.5 tells you the innings are capped near four and a half after 29 days without a start. The number needs three punchouts from a pitcher who has not reached three against this lineup.

AI Analysis
Pittsburgh's 42 wRC+ vs RHP over its last 6 against Leahy's 2.28 xERA argues for St. Louis, but the Cardinals are only at 83 wRC+ vs RHP over their last 6 and their bullpen has 6.0 relief innings in the past two days, so the short prices on both the side and the run line are already correct. Leahy's strikeout line of 3.5 is fair for an arm averaging 5.3 per start on a 30.2 K% but going only 4.7 innings, and his outs number of 11.5 is priced for the 63-pitch, four-inning outing he just had. Mlodzinski works behind an opener and the card posts no strikeout or outs market for him.

AI Analysis
Cincinnati's 146 wRC+ vs RHP over its last 6 is a sharp jump from 101 over its last 12 while the Cubs sit at 94 vs LHP over their last 6 against 126 over their last 12, so both lineups are priced off form that is unlikely to hold and neither side nor total offers a gap. Gausman's 6.5 strikeouts is right where his 26.9 K% and 6.0 per start over his last 3 project him against a Reds lineup at 22.4 K% over its last 6. Abbott's 3.5 is undercut by his own history against this club — 2, 4 and 3 strikeouts across 3 meetings — and his outs line of 16.5 matches the 5.6 innings per start he has averaged.

AI Analysis
Anderson has thrown only 5.2 innings across three starts this season, which is too thin a base to bet a side or the 7.5 total, and Soriano's 4.72 xERA over his last 3 against a Seattle lineup at 117 wRC+ vs RHP over its last 6 is already reflected in a pick'em moneyline. Anderson's 4.5 strikeouts asks for better than a strikeout per inning against a Blue Jays lineup at a 14.3 K% vs LHP over its last 6, and his outs line of 15.5 is priced to -164 on the under for a pitcher averaging 5.7 innings. Soriano's 5.5 strikeouts matches his 4.3 per start and his 6.0 per start across 3 meetings with Seattle, and his 16.5 outs is exactly the depth he has gone in each of his last three.

Martin Perez u16.5 Outs (-125)
Perez has gone 6.0, 5.0 and 4.0 innings over his last 3 starts — 18, 15 and 12 outs, trending straight down — and needed 97 pitches to record those 12 outs last time. He is walking 11.8% of hitters over that window with a 4.57 xERA, and Colorado has lifted to a 111 wRC+ vs LHP over its last 6 games. Atlanta's bullpen is fresh with a 3.30 xERA over its last 12 games, so there is no reason to stretch him, yet the line still asks for five and a half innings he has reached once in three tries.

Foster Griffin u17.5 Outs (+120)
Griffin has gone 5.0, 6.0 and 5.0 innings over his last 3 starts — 15, 18 and 15 outs — and averages 5.3 IP per start, with 5.4 IP per start across his last 3 at home. He needed 105 pitches to get through 5.0 innings last time out and walks 9.1% over his last 3, so the pitch count arrives before the sixth. Cleveland's bullpen has a 2.04 xERA over its last 12 with a 32.9 K% and no work in the past two days, giving no reason to push him past 17 outs, yet the number is priced as though six innings is his default.

Nolan McLean u5.5 Ks (+115)
McLean carries a 17.1 K% and 19.9 Whiff% over his last 3 starts and has produced 3, 3 and 6 strikeouts in them, an average of 4.0 per outing against a posted line of 5.5. His 14.3 BB% over that window eats pitches without producing outs, and even at the 6.0 IP/gs he has run he is not built to reach six punchouts. Houston's 89 wRC+ vs RHP over their last 6 gets them out quickly rather than deep into counts, and the market is charging a favorite's price on a number McLean has cleared once in three tries.

AI Analysis
Buehler at a 2.61 xERA and Martinez at a 2.50 xERA over their last 3 face two lineups under 100 wRC+ vs RHP over their last 6, and the total at 8.0 with a near-even moneyline already reflects that. Buehler's 3.5 strikeouts is priced heavily to the under at -156 for a pitcher with a 16.8 Whiff% facing a Rays lineup that strikes out just 13.9% vs RHP over its last 6, leaving nothing on either side, and his outs line of 15.5 is juiced to -203 despite six innings in each of his last three. Martinez's 3.5 strikeouts sits right on his 4.7 per start with the same under juice, and his 17.5 outs is fair after outings of 9.0, 3.2 and 6.0 innings.

Carlos Rodon u5.5 Strikeouts (-138)
Boston strikes out just 13.0% of the time vs LHP over its last 6 games, backed by 14.1% over its last 12 — the most contact-heavy matchup on the board. Rodon has averaged only 4.3 innings per start over his last 3 with a 14.5% walk rate, exiting on 76 pitches after 4.0 innings last time, and his outs line at 15.5 confirms a five-inning expectation. Across 3 starts against Boston he has struck out 4, 3 and 6, and his last 3 outings produced 6, 4 and 2. Six strikeouts requires both length he has not shown and swing-and-miss this lineup does not give up, and the price is treating it as close to a coin flip.
Jake Bennett o4.5 Ks (+100)
Bennett has struck out 5, 6 and 6 over his last 3 starts, clearing this number in every one, with a 23.6 K% and a 27.0 Whiff% over that window that says the strikeouts are earned on missed bats rather than called strikes. New York's 24.1 K% vs LHP over their last 6 sits right alongside 25.3 over their last 12, so this is an established swing-and-miss lineup against left-handers, and his outs line at 16.5 gives him the five-plus innings the rate needs. Even money on a number his last three outings all beat is the mispricing.

AI Analysis
Two of the best lineups on the board face off — Texas at 145 wRC+ vs LHP over its last 6 and 122 over its last 12, Milwaukee at 151 vs RHP over its last 6 and 149 over its last 12 — but Quantrill's 2.20 xERA over his last 3 and Milwaukee's 2.16 bullpen xERA over its last 12 keep the total honest at 8.0 and the moneyline fair. Quantrill's 3.5 strikeouts is short of the 6, 5 and 6 he has posted, but at -130 the price has already bought that, and his outs line of 15.5 sits below the six innings he has averaged with the juice on the under. Drohan's 5.5 strikeouts matches his 4.7 per start and 20.4 K% against a Rangers lineup at 19.8 K% over its last 6, and his outs line of 15.5 is exactly the five innings he has thrown in each of his last three.

BAL @ ATH u9.5 (-105)
Baltimore brings an 87 wRC+ vs RHP over its last 6 games (93 over its last 12) against Jack Perkins, whose 3.31 xERA over his last 3 starts is far better than his run column suggests. Shane Baz sits at a 3.09 xERA with a 26.4% whiff rate over his last 3, and behind him Baltimore's bullpen has a 2.12 xERA over its last 12 games with a 27.4% strikeout rate, which covers the innings after both starters exit. A 9.5 is a run above where two arms with sub-3.35 expected marks and one clearly cold offense project.
Shane Baz o5.5 Strikeouts (+122)
Baz has a 22.7% strikeout rate and a 26.4% whiff rate over his last 3 starts, and the Athletics are swinging through pitches at a 28.4% clip over their last 6 games vs RHP with a 26.1% strikeout rate. He has averaged 7.7 strikeouts across 3 career starts against this club, going 11, 7 and 5, and his outs line at 17.5 tells you six innings are expected. His recent totals of 2 and 3 came against Minnesota and Tampa Bay, two of the lowest-strikeout lineups he could have drawn, so plus money on six punchouts against a whiff-heavy offense is the wrong side of the market.
Jack Perkins u14.5 Outs (+139)
Perkins has thrown 13.7 innings across his last 3 starts — 5.1, 3.0 and 5.0 — which is under five innings a night, and he walks 11.3% over that window. He has not started since August 12, working out of the bullpen on August 18 and 23 instead, so he arrives without a starter's build-up and on a limited count. Baltimore's lineup hits the ball hard at a 46.4 HH% vs RHP over its last 6, and the Athletics' bullpen has not worked in two days, so there is no incentive to stretch him — the market is pricing five full innings as a 61% proposition for an arm that has averaged four and a half.

  • LAA offense: Whiff% 25.2 (last 6) runs well above what K% 16.2 shows
  • PHI — C. Sanchez: last start: 103 pitches over 6.2 IP
C. Sanchez u7.5 Strikeouts (-113)
Sanchez has struck out 7, 6 and 7 over his last 3 starts — never once clearing eight — despite a 26.7 K% and 31.9 Whiff% across that window. The Angels are the wrong lineup to chase a big number against: 16.2 K% vs LHP over their last 6 and 20.8% over their last 12, the most contact-oriented profile he has faced lately. Even at 6.2 IP per start over his last 3 he projects under seven, and the posted 7.5 asks for an outing above his recent ceiling.
