LAD @ DET u7.5 (-120)
Detroit brings a 63 wRC+ vs LHP over their last 6 and 56 over their last 12 — the two windows agree, so this is what the lineup is — against Skubal's 2.55 xERA and 32.0 K% over his last 3 starts, in which he has gone 5, 6 and 7 innings. Los Angeles answers with an 89 wRC+ vs RHP over their last 6 against Drew Anderson, whose 4.19 xERA over his last 3 is ordinary but who has held Cleveland and Chicago to 1 and 3 earned runs across 4 and 5 innings in that stretch. Detroit has gone under in 9 of their last 10 and 7 of their last 10 at home. The posted number sits near the league-average total for a game where one side is unlikely to reach three runs.

Tarik Skubal u7.5 Ks (+132)
Detroit is striking out just 16.2% of the time vs LHP over its last 6 with a 16.9 Whiff% — a contact-heavy stretch, and well below the 23.7% they posted over their last 12. Tarik Skubal's 8.0 strikeouts per start over his last 3 were built against Kansas City at a 30% strikeout rate and Pittsburgh at 31%, both far more swing-and-miss than what he sees tonight, and his outs line at 18.5 caps the outing at roughly six innings of work. Eight strikeouts is being priced as a coin flip against a lineup putting the ball in play at this rate.
Found at 3:36 PM ET
Eury Perez u17.5 Outs (+116)
Eury Perez has needed 100 pitches in each of his last 3 starts to get 7.0, 6.0 and 5.0 innings, and his 14.7 BB% over that window is what keeps those counts high. Washington has been the specific problem: 4.7 IP per start across three meetings, including 5.0 innings on 100 pitches a week ago, and 4.0 IP per start across two outings at this park. With the Nationals at 104 wRC+ vs RHP over their last 6, up from 87 over their last 12, plus money on him falling short of six innings is priced off his overall depth rather than the depth this lineup has actually allowed him.
Found at 3:36 PM ET
Hunter Brown u5.5 Ks (-135)
Brown has posted a 14.2 Whiff% and an 18.8 K% over his last 3 starts, with a 15.9 BB% and a 2.9 K-BB% that show an arm working around contact rather than through it. His strikeout totals in those three starts were 4, 5 and 4 — he has not reached six once. The Mets have run a 17.2 K% vs RHP over their last 6 and 20.9 over their last 12, one of the lowest-strikeout groups he could draw, and even his 17.5 outs line does not buy enough batters to make up the gap. The number is set a full strikeout above anything he has produced recently against a lineup that puts the ball in play.
Found at 2:21 AM ET
NYM ML (+108)
New York carries a 132 wRC+ vs RHP over their last 6 and 134 over their last 12 — established form, not a streak — against a starter with a 4.16 xERA and a 2.9 K-BB% over his last 3 who has walked 3, 5 and 3 in those outings. Houston counters with a 96 wRC+ vs RHP over their last 6 (84 over their last 12) against Christian Scott, whose 4.38 xERA over his last 3 sits well under his 6.60 ERA in the same window and whose home work reads 2.11 ERA across 3 starts. The Mets bullpen has a 2.76 xERA over the last 12 games against Houston's 5.53 ERA in that window. The market has the weaker lineup and the weaker relief corps favored.
Found at 2:21 AM ET
Tanner Bibee u17.5 Outs (+145)
Kansas City has run Tanner Bibee's pitch count up in all three meetings this season — 5.0 innings on 93 pitches, 4.2 on 87 and 4.0 on 77, an average of 4.4 IP per start against them — and they arrive at 149 wRC+ vs RHP over their last 6 and 139 over their last 12, elite in both windows. His three 6-inning outings over his last 3 starts came against Detroit, San Diego and Colorado, and Cleveland's bullpen has a 2.44 xERA over its last 12 with only 3.0 relief innings in the past two days, so there is no need to push him. The market is paying plus money on the outcome this lineup has forced every time it has faced him.
Found at 3:36 PM ET
Patrick Sandoval u15.5 Outs (-109)
Sandoval averages 5.2 innings over his last 3 starts, which puts this line exactly at his working depth, and he walks into the toughest possible spot for it: the Yankees are at a 139 wRC+ vs LHP over their last 6 with a 44.4 HH% in that window, up sharply from 100 over their last 12. His 10.7 BB% over his last 3 has already produced 3, 3 and 2 free passes and an 89-pitch, 4-inning outing at Pittsburgh where he allowed 9 hits and 7 earned runs. Boston's bullpen is rested at normal usage with a 1.71 ERA over the last 12 games, so there is no reason to push him through a third time against this lineup, and the price treats his depth as a coin flip in a matchup that argues for an early hook.
Found at 2:21 AM ET
ATL Team Total u5.5 (-135)
Atlanta's offense is at 81 wRC+ vs RHP over its last 6 and 66 over its last 12 — below average in the short window and worse in the long one — and it has produced 3.2 runs per game in Grant Holmes's last five starts. Tomoyuki Sugano's 5.64 xERA over his last 3 is well under his 8.36 ERA in the same window, so the run totals behind him overstate how hittable he has been, and Colorado's bullpen comes in fresh at 2.0 relief innings over the past two days behind a 4.70 xERA over its last 12. Six runs from this lineup is priced as a live outcome when its recent form points a run and a half lower.
Found at 3:36 PM ET
Dean Kremer o5.5 Ks (+110)
Kremer has a 26.9 K% and a 33.3 Whiff% over his last 3 starts, striking out 7, 6 and 5 while averaging 5.9 innings, and the White Sox are the right opponent for it: a 26.6 K% and 27.7 Whiff% vs RHP over their last 6, with a 23.7 K% over their last 12 confirming this is how they hit rather than a bad week. He has also gone 5.7 innings a start across 3 meetings with Chicago for 5.0 strikeouts a time, so the length is there. Plus money on a number he has met or beaten in each of his last three starts against a lineup that strikes out more than a quarter of the time is the mispricing.
Found at 2:21 AM ET
Andrew Painter o5.5 Ks (+122)
The Angels are striking out at a 34.1% clip vs RHP over their last 6 with a 28.1 Whiff%, and their 27.2 K% over their last 12 says the swing-and-miss is real rather than a one-week blip. Painter carries a 22.5 K% and 26.0 Whiff% over his last 3 starts and just went 7 innings on 103 pitches with 8 strikeouts and no walks against St. Louis; his 16.5 outs line means the market expects him past five and a half innings again. Against a lineup missing a third of its swings, plus money on six strikeouts undersells both the rate and the length.
Found at 2:21 AM ET
PHI @ LAA u8.0 (-105)
Detmers has a 2.20 xERA and 0.45 ERA over his last 3 starts while averaging 6.7 innings, and at home across 3 starts he sits at a 1.42 ERA over 6.3 innings a time; Philadelphia meets him with a 94 wRC+ vs LHP over their last 6. On the other side Painter's 3.25 xERA over his last 3 faces a Los Angeles lineup at 97 wRC+ vs RHP over both its last 6 and last 12. Both bullpens are strong — Philadelphia at a 3.02 xERA and Los Angeles at 2.76 over the last 12 games — so there is no soft middle innings to inflate this, and the Angels have gone under in 8 of their last 10 at home. Eight runs is roughly a league-average posting for a game with two of the better arms on the slate and two lineups hitting below the league mean.
Found at 2:21 AM ET
Reid Detmers u6.5 Ks (-159)
Philadelphia is striking out at a 9.4% clip vs LHP over its last 6 with an 11.2 Whiff%, down from an already-low 13.0% over its last 12 — the hardest lineup on the board to miss bats against. Reid Detmers's 7.3 strikeouts per start over his last 3 came against Texas twice at a 16% strikeout rate and Kansas City, and even his 30.1 K% over that window projects near five against a lineup putting this much in play over roughly 25 batters. The juice buys a number the Phillies' contact rate should keep well out of reach.
Found at 3:36 PM ET
Brandon Young u17.5 Outs (+104)
Brandon Young has averaged 5.2 IP per start over his last 3 — 6.0, 4.0 and 5.2 innings — so the posted number asks for a longer outing than he has produced in two of three, and his 10.0 BB% over that window is the kind of command that runs a pitch count up early. He faces an Athletics lineup at 118 wRC+ vs RHP over both its last 6 and last 12 games, and in his one meeting with them this month he was gone after 3.0 innings and 74 pitches. A coin-flip price on six full innings understates how often this outing ends in the sixth.
Found at 3:36 PM ET
SFG Team Total o3.5 (-102)
Kohl Drake carries an 8.79 xERA and a 50.0 HH% allowed over his last 3 starts while averaging only 3.9 innings, and he has not pitched in 22 days; his three outings produced 4, 2 and 3 earned runs over 4.0, 4.0 and 3.2 innings. San Francisco meets him with a 93 wRC+ vs LHP over their last 6 and a 43.3 HH% in that window, and once Drake is out they get an Arizona bullpen carrying a 5.00 xERA over the last 12 games for four or five innings. With the wind blowing out 16 mph, four runs against a starter this short and a relief corps this leaky is priced as a coin flip when it should be the likelier outcome.
Found at 2:21 AM ET
Kohl Drake u14.5 Outs (+125)
Kohl Drake has averaged 3.9 IP per start over his last 3 and has not recorded a 13th out in any of them — 4.0, 4.0 and 3.2 innings, with pitch counts of 64, 94 and 82. He takes the mound tonight 22 days removed from his last start, which is not the profile of an arm being stretched to five full innings, and he carries an 8.79 xERA over that same three-start window against a San Francisco lineup at 110 wRC+ vs LHP over its last 6. The market is pricing him to reach 15 outs 58% of the time when his own recent workload has not produced 12.
Found at 3:36 PM ET
SFG Moneyline (+107)
Blade Tidwell carries a 2.97 xERA over his last 3 into a matchup with an Arizona lineup at 68 wRC+ vs RHP over its last 6 and 80 over its last 12 — poor in both windows. The other half is worse for the visitors: Kohl Drake's 8.79 xERA and 6.94 ERA over his last 3 against a San Francisco club at 110 wRC+ vs LHP over its last 6, with Arizona's bullpen sitting on a 5.30 xERA over its last 12 to clean up after 3.9 innings of starter. San Francisco has the better starter, the better recent lineup and the better bullpen, and is still priced as the underdog.

CHC Team Total o4.5 (-106)
Chicago is at a 159 wRC+ vs RHP over their last 6 and 127 over their last 12, with both windows pointing the same direction, and they draw Rhett Lowder, who has generated a 10.1 Whiff% and a 12.8 K% over his last 3 starts — nothing that misses a bat. Lowder has allowed 7, 8 and 6 hits in those three outings while working 6 innings a start, so the contact keeps coming, and behind him Cincinnati's bullpen carries a 4.10 xERA with a 13.4 BB% over the last 12 games on elevated rest. Five runs is priced as a coin flip against a lineup hitting like this facing an arm with no swing-and-miss.
Found at 2:21 AM ET
Rhett Lowder u3.5 Ks (+116)
Lowder's 10.1 Whiff% over his last 3 starts is the lowest on the board and his 12.8 K% in that window matches it — the process and the outcome agree that he does not miss bats. He struck out 4, 5 and 1 across those starts for a 3.3 average. The Cubs have a 17.8 K% and a 19.9 Whiff% vs RHP over their last 6, both below average and both corroborated by a 19.8 K% over their last 12, and a lineup swinging at a 159 wRC+ clip over its last 6 is more likely to shorten his outing than lengthen it. Plus money on a number he has cleared only by a strikeout or two in his better recent outings is the wrong price.

LAD @ DET u7.5 (-120)
Detroit brings a 63 wRC+ vs LHP over their last 6 and 56 over their last 12 — the two windows agree, so this is what the lineup is — against Skubal's 2.55 xERA and 32.0 K% over his last 3 starts, in which he has gone 5, 6 and 7 innings. Los Angeles answers with an 89 wRC+ vs RHP over their last 6 against Drew Anderson, whose 4.19 xERA over his last 3 is ordinary but who has held Cleveland and Chicago to 1 and 3 earned runs across 4 and 5 innings in that stretch. Detroit has gone under in 9 of their last 10 and 7 of their last 10 at home. The posted number sits near the league-average total for a game where one side is unlikely to reach three runs.
Tarik Skubal u7.5 Ks (+132)
Detroit is striking out just 16.2% of the time vs LHP over its last 6 with a 16.9 Whiff% — a contact-heavy stretch, and well below the 23.7% they posted over their last 12. Tarik Skubal's 8.0 strikeouts per start over his last 3 were built against Kansas City at a 30% strikeout rate and Pittsburgh at 31%, both far more swing-and-miss than what he sees tonight, and his outs line at 18.5 caps the outing at roughly six innings of work. Eight strikeouts is being priced as a coin flip against a lineup putting the ball in play at this rate.

Eury Perez u17.5 Outs (+116)
Eury Perez has needed 100 pitches in each of his last 3 starts to get 7.0, 6.0 and 5.0 innings, and his 14.7 BB% over that window is what keeps those counts high. Washington has been the specific problem: 4.7 IP per start across three meetings, including 5.0 innings on 100 pitches a week ago, and 4.0 IP per start across two outings at this park. With the Nationals at 104 wRC+ vs RHP over their last 6, up from 87 over their last 12, plus money on him falling short of six innings is priced off his overall depth rather than the depth this lineup has actually allowed him.

Tanner Bibee u17.5 Outs (+145)
Kansas City has run Tanner Bibee's pitch count up in all three meetings this season — 5.0 innings on 93 pitches, 4.2 on 87 and 4.0 on 77, an average of 4.4 IP per start against them — and they arrive at 149 wRC+ vs RHP over their last 6 and 139 over their last 12, elite in both windows. His three 6-inning outings over his last 3 starts came against Detroit, San Diego and Colorado, and Cleveland's bullpen has a 2.44 xERA over its last 12 with only 3.0 relief innings in the past two days, so there is no need to push him. The market is paying plus money on the outcome this lineup has forced every time it has faced him.

Hunter Brown u5.5 Ks (-135)
Brown has posted a 14.2 Whiff% and an 18.8 K% over his last 3 starts, with a 15.9 BB% and a 2.9 K-BB% that show an arm working around contact rather than through it. His strikeout totals in those three starts were 4, 5 and 4 — he has not reached six once. The Mets have run a 17.2 K% vs RHP over their last 6 and 20.9 over their last 12, one of the lowest-strikeout groups he could draw, and even his 17.5 outs line does not buy enough batters to make up the gap. The number is set a full strikeout above anything he has produced recently against a lineup that puts the ball in play.
NYM ML (+108)
New York carries a 132 wRC+ vs RHP over their last 6 and 134 over their last 12 — established form, not a streak — against a starter with a 4.16 xERA and a 2.9 K-BB% over his last 3 who has walked 3, 5 and 3 in those outings. Houston counters with a 96 wRC+ vs RHP over their last 6 (84 over their last 12) against Christian Scott, whose 4.38 xERA over his last 3 sits well under his 6.60 ERA in the same window and whose home work reads 2.11 ERA across 3 starts. The Mets bullpen has a 2.76 xERA over the last 12 games against Houston's 5.53 ERA in that window. The market has the weaker lineup and the weaker relief corps favored.

AI Analysis
Casey Mize carries a 4.08 xERA over his last 3 but lasted just 2.2 innings on 47 pitches last time out, and Shane McClanahan is averaging 3.8 innings per start over his last 3, so this is a game decided by two bullpens — the total at 7.5 and the Rays at -126 already account for that. Mize's strikeout line at 3.5 is fair against a Tampa Bay lineup striking out only 16.2% of the time vs RHP over its last 6, and his outs number at 15.5 is priced for the short outing his last start suggests. McClanahan's 4.5 strikeouts and 15.5 outs both sit at his recent workload of 3.7 strikeouts and under four innings per start, with the outs market priced at +168 both ways.

Atlanta's offense is at 81 wRC+ vs RHP over its last 6 and 66 over its last 12 — below average in the short window and worse in the long one — and it has produced 3.2 runs per game in Grant Holmes's last five starts. Tomoyuki Sugano's 5.64 xERA over his last 3 is well under his 8.36 ERA in the same window, so the run totals behind him overstate how hittable he has been, and Colorado's bullpen comes in fresh at 2.0 relief innings over the past two days behind a 4.70 xERA over its last 12. Six runs from this lineup is priced as a live outcome when its recent form points a run and a half lower.

Patrick Sandoval u15.5 Outs (-109)
Sandoval averages 5.2 innings over his last 3 starts, which puts this line exactly at his working depth, and he walks into the toughest possible spot for it: the Yankees are at a 139 wRC+ vs LHP over their last 6 with a 44.4 HH% in that window, up sharply from 100 over their last 12. His 10.7 BB% over his last 3 has already produced 3, 3 and 2 free passes and an 89-pitch, 4-inning outing at Pittsburgh where he allowed 9 hits and 7 earned runs. Boston's bullpen is rested at normal usage with a 1.71 ERA over the last 12 games, so there is no reason to push him through a third time against this lineup, and the price treats his depth as a coin flip in a matchup that argues for an early hook.

AI Analysis
Both starters have elite recent form — Emerson Hancock at a 2.52 xERA and Dylan Cease at 2.42 over their last 3 — against Seattle at 119 wRC+ and Toronto at 95 wRC+ vs RHP over their last 6, and the total at 7.0 with Toronto at -141 is already a low number for two stressed-to-elevated bullpens behind them. Cease's strikeout line at 7.5 asks for a top-end outing against a Blue Jays-facing Mariners club, and his 8.3 per start over his last 3 came against the Yankees at a 27% strikeout rate twice, so the number is fully priced; his outs line at 17.5 costs -180 after a 111-pitch start. Hancock's 3.5 strikeouts sits at the middle of his 5.7 per start range with no value either way, and his 17.5 outs line matches the 5.8 innings he has averaged.

AI Analysis
Logan Henderson's 2.78 xERA over his last 3 against a Milwaukee-hosted Texas club at 139 wRC+ vs RHP over its last 6 — up sharply from 105 over its last 12 — is a real collision, but Milwaukee at -203 and a 7.5 total leave nothing to buy on either side, especially with the Brewers bullpen carrying 8.7 relief innings over the past two days. Cody Bradford's strikeout line at 3.5 is fair for an arm at 2.7 per start whose 21.0 Whiff% over his last 3 suggests more strikeouts than his 11.9 K% shows, and his outs number at 15.5 matches the 5.4 innings he has averaged. Henderson's 6.5 strikeouts sits above his 5.7 per start, and his outs line at 17.5 costs -166 for the 6.4 innings he already goes.

Dean Kremer o5.5 Ks (+110)
Kremer has a 26.9 K% and a 33.3 Whiff% over his last 3 starts, striking out 7, 6 and 5 while averaging 5.9 innings, and the White Sox are the right opponent for it: a 26.6 K% and 27.7 Whiff% vs RHP over their last 6, with a 23.7 K% over their last 12 confirming this is how they hit rather than a bad week. He has also gone 5.7 innings a start across 3 meetings with Chicago for 5.0 strikeouts a time, so the length is there. Plus money on a number he has met or beaten in each of his last three starts against a lineup that strikes out more than a quarter of the time is the mispricing.

AI Analysis
Two of the coldest lineups on the board — Pittsburgh at 34 wRC+ vs LHP and St. Louis at 72 wRC+ vs RHP over their last 6 — meet two starters with ugly ERAs but much better xERAs, Jared Jones at 4.64 and Quinn Mathews at 2.91 over their last 3, and the 7.5 total with a pick'em moneyline already reflects that. Jones's strikeout line at 4.5 costs -153 for an arm averaging 5.0 per start with a 16.7 BB% that keeps his outings to 4.0 innings, and his outs line at 14.5 is already priced for that short leash at -165. Mathews at 5.5 strikeouts is fair against a Pirates lineup striking out 31.1% of the time over its last 6, and his 16.5 outs line sits above the 4.7 innings he averages but not by enough to pay at -104.

Andrew Painter o5.5 Ks (+122)
The Angels are striking out at a 34.1% clip vs RHP over their last 6 with a 28.1 Whiff%, and their 27.2 K% over their last 12 says the swing-and-miss is real rather than a one-week blip. Painter carries a 22.5 K% and 26.0 Whiff% over his last 3 starts and just went 7 innings on 103 pitches with 8 strikeouts and no walks against St. Louis; his 16.5 outs line means the market expects him past five and a half innings again. Against a lineup missing a third of its swings, plus money on six strikeouts undersells both the rate and the length.
PHI @ LAA u8.0 (-105)
Detmers has a 2.20 xERA and 0.45 ERA over his last 3 starts while averaging 6.7 innings, and at home across 3 starts he sits at a 1.42 ERA over 6.3 innings a time; Philadelphia meets him with a 94 wRC+ vs LHP over their last 6. On the other side Painter's 3.25 xERA over his last 3 faces a Los Angeles lineup at 97 wRC+ vs RHP over both its last 6 and last 12. Both bullpens are strong — Philadelphia at a 3.02 xERA and Los Angeles at 2.76 over the last 12 games — so there is no soft middle innings to inflate this, and the Angels have gone under in 8 of their last 10 at home. Eight runs is roughly a league-average posting for a game with two of the better arms on the slate and two lineups hitting below the league mean.
Reid Detmers u6.5 Ks (-159)
Philadelphia is striking out at a 9.4% clip vs LHP over its last 6 with an 11.2 Whiff%, down from an already-low 13.0% over its last 12 — the hardest lineup on the board to miss bats against. Reid Detmers's 7.3 strikeouts per start over his last 3 came against Texas twice at a 16% strikeout rate and Kansas City, and even his 30.1 K% over that window projects near five against a lineup putting this much in play over roughly 25 batters. The juice buys a number the Phillies' contact rate should keep well out of reach.

Brandon Young u17.5 Outs (+104)
Brandon Young has averaged 5.2 IP per start over his last 3 — 6.0, 4.0 and 5.2 innings — so the posted number asks for a longer outing than he has produced in two of three, and his 10.0 BB% over that window is the kind of command that runs a pitch count up early. He faces an Athletics lineup at 118 wRC+ vs RHP over both its last 6 and last 12 games, and in his one meeting with them this month he was gone after 3.0 innings and 74 pitches. A coin-flip price on six full innings understates how often this outing ends in the sixth.

SFG Team Total o3.5 (-102)
Kohl Drake carries an 8.79 xERA and a 50.0 HH% allowed over his last 3 starts while averaging only 3.9 innings, and he has not pitched in 22 days; his three outings produced 4, 2 and 3 earned runs over 4.0, 4.0 and 3.2 innings. San Francisco meets him with a 93 wRC+ vs LHP over their last 6 and a 43.3 HH% in that window, and once Drake is out they get an Arizona bullpen carrying a 5.00 xERA over the last 12 games for four or five innings. With the wind blowing out 16 mph, four runs against a starter this short and a relief corps this leaky is priced as a coin flip when it should be the likelier outcome.
Kohl Drake u14.5 Outs (+125)
Kohl Drake has averaged 3.9 IP per start over his last 3 and has not recorded a 13th out in any of them — 4.0, 4.0 and 3.2 innings, with pitch counts of 64, 94 and 82. He takes the mound tonight 22 days removed from his last start, which is not the profile of an arm being stretched to five full innings, and he carries an 8.79 xERA over that same three-start window against a San Francisco lineup at 110 wRC+ vs LHP over its last 6. The market is pricing him to reach 15 outs 58% of the time when his own recent workload has not produced 12.
SFG Moneyline (+107)
Blade Tidwell carries a 2.97 xERA over his last 3 into a matchup with an Arizona lineup at 68 wRC+ vs RHP over its last 6 and 80 over its last 12 — poor in both windows. The other half is worse for the visitors: Kohl Drake's 8.79 xERA and 6.94 ERA over his last 3 against a San Francisco club at 110 wRC+ vs LHP over its last 6, with Arizona's bullpen sitting on a 5.30 xERA over its last 12 to clean up after 3.9 innings of starter. San Francisco has the better starter, the better recent lineup and the better bullpen, and is still priced as the underdog.
