Cam Schlittler has been incredible this year with a 1.89 ERA, but the model is looking past the surface stats here. We are seeing an eight percent edge on the over 8.5 runs for a few reasons. First, the Yankees possess the fifth best offense in the league. They score five runs per game on average. While Boston's offense is lower in the rankings, they still manage four runs a contest. The model projects a total of 9.2 runs, which gives us a comfortable cushion over the current line. New York has dominated this rivalry recently, winning three of the four matchups this season. They usually win by nearly two runs. Ranger Suarez is a tough southpaw with a 3.26 ERA, but he is facing a lineup that specializes in making pitchers work. The Yankees also have an elite defense, but that does not always stop the over from hitting in the Bronx. Schlittler's recent ERA has ticked up to 2.54, suggesting he might be cooling off just a bit. And let's look at the bullpen situation. Rivalry games like this often turn into a battle of the relievers by the sixth inning. With the way New York hits at home, they can carry the bulk of this total themselves. Boston just needs to contribute a few runs to push this over the finish line. The model is very confident in the bats today.

The public sees two starters with low ERAs and hammers the under. They are ignoring the fact that the Yankees offense is a top five unit that has already figured out this Boston pitching staff earlier this year.

It might shock you to hear that the Washington Nationals have the number one offense in baseball right now. They are putting up five point four runs per game. Arizona is a decent team, but they are middle of the pack defensively. Michael Soroka has been solid, but he is essentially walking into a buzzsaw. The model finds a ten point nine percent edge on Washington at plus 1.5. This is largely because the Nationals are incredible on the road, covering the spread seventy eight percent of the time. Arizona has struggled lately, going just four and six in their last ten games. Meanwhile, Washington has been much more consistent. The Diamondbacks cover the spread at home sixty one percent of the time, which is good, but it does not compare to Washington's road dominance. Cade Cavalli has a 3.62 ERA and has been pitching well lately with a 3.07 mark in his recent starts. But the real story is the total. We have a strong edge on the over 9. Washington's defense is ranked twenty ninth in the league. They give up runs just as fast as they score them. Arizona has the thirteenth ranked offense, so they should have no problem scoring against Cavalli and a shaky Nationals bullpen. Everything points to a high scoring game where Washington keeps it very close or wins outright.

Bettors usually default to the home favorite Diamondbacks because they recognize the names more. They are missing the fact that Washington is literally the highest scoring team in the league right now.

Baltimore is playing some of the best baseball in the American League right now. They have won seven of their last ten games and are currently on a two game winning streak. Toronto is stuck in neutral at five and five over their last ten. The model sees a ten point six percent edge on the Orioles at plus 1.5. A big reason for this is the pitching matchup. Kevin Gausman has a 3.36 ERA on the season, but that number has ballooned to 3.94 in his recent outings. He is not as sharp as he was in April. On the other side, Shane Baz is trending upward. His season ERA is 4.29, but he has posted a 3.46 ERA in his recent starts. He is finding his rhythm just as the Orioles offense is peaking. Baltimore ranks eighth in the league in scoring. Toronto's offense is way down at twenty fourth. It is hard to lay points with a team that struggles to drive runners in. And the head to head stats back this up. Toronto is only one and three against Baltimore this season. The average margin in those games has been two and a half runs in favor of the Orioles. The model also likes the over 8.5 here. Baltimore's defense is ranked twenty seventh, meaning they are prone to giving up big innings. Between Gausman's recent struggles and a bad Orioles defense, the bats should be active all afternoon.

The public still treats Kevin Gausman like a dominant ace who cannot be touched. The numbers show he is vulnerable right now, and the Orioles have already proven they can beat this Toronto team repeatedly.
