Milwaukee hosts Boston tonight. Model projects 7.7 runs against a 6.5 total. That's an 18% edge. Brewers roll in at 8-2 over their last 10. Red Sox sit at 2-8 in theirs. Brutal stretch for Boston. Starters tilt things. Garrett Crochet posts a 3.27 ERA for BOS. Solid. Jacob Misiorowski counters with 2.45 for MIL. Even better. But offenses drive this. Milwaukee ranks third overall, facing Boston's 22nd ranked defense. They score 6.8 per game, allow just 3.0. Red Sox offense is 23rd versus Milwaukee's ninth ranked unit. BOS averages 3.6 scored, 4.1 allowed. Model spread sits at -1.0, with books heavy at -1.5. I lean MIL +1.5 too, given net injury edge of 0.2 points their way. Boston misses reliever Robert Stock. Head to head, BOS leads 2-1 this year, but margins average just 1.3. Recent form overrides that. Both teams mash in spots like this. Over hits easy. Public chases Boston ML at -164. Whatever.

Casual bettors hammer Boston ML off their head to head edge. They ignore the 2-8 skid and Milwaukee's offensive firepower. Model sees Brewers covering most times anyway.

Baltimore visits Chicago. Model gives O's 38.1% win probability, but that's a 5.3% edge on the ML at -154. Spread leans BAL -1.5 too at 14.1% edge. Confidence highest here at 86%. Pitching mismatch huge. Shane Smith starts for CHW with ugly 21.43 ERA. Trevor Rogers fires 1.38 for BAL. No contest. White Sox score 3.6 per game but allow 15.3. Disaster. O's match that scoring at 3.6, allow only 2.6. Model spread 2.2 runs, books at 1.5. Matchups favor road team. CHW offense 24th versus BAL's 17th defense. Baltimore's 22nd offense feasts on Chicago's 29th ranked pitching. Injuries pile on CHW: Mike Tauchman and Timothy Elko out. Net edge 0.2 to BAL. Head to head, CHW 0-3 versus O's, average margin -1.7. Total over 6.5 adds too, model at 6.7. But ML is the play. Baltimore dominates slumping Sox.

Public loves home dogs with White Sox getting points. They overlook Smith's ERA nightmare and Baltimore's starter edge. Books win big on CHW money.

St. Louis travels to Washington. Model loves over 7.5 at 14% edge, projecting 8.6 runs. Spread leans STL +1.5 with 9.3% edge. Starters close. Cade Cavalli 2.93 ERA for WSH. Matthew Liberatore 1.64 for STL. Both good. Yet offenses shine. Nats rank fourth, facing STL's 25th defense. They score 6.4 per game, allow 4.4. Cardinals tenth ranked offense hits WSH's dead last 30th defense. STL scores 4.6, allows 3.2. Model spread -1.4, near book -1.5. Injuries hurt Nats bullpen: Derek Law and Joan Adon out. Net 0.4 points to STL. Head to head WSH 1-2 versus Cards, average -1.0 margin. But scoring environments like this pop overs. Both lineups exploit weak arms late. Pass ML, but over is gold. Fire away.

Bettors pile Washington off their top offense rank. They miss STL's projection to keep it close and the total explosion potential. Public loses on the over line.
