The total in this matchup is sitting at 8.5, but my model sees a massive 13.3 percent edge on the over. We are looking at a pitching matchup that screams runs. Mike Burrows is taking the mound for Houston and he has been struggling with a 5.48 ERA on the season. He is facing a Minnesota offense that ranks seventh in the league. The Twins are putting up 4.8 runs per game and they should have no trouble finding success against a Houston defense that ranks 25th overall. On the other side, Joe Ryan has a solid 3.18 ERA, but his recent form shows a slight dip to 3.72. Houston is playing well lately with a 7 and 3 record over their last ten games. They are averaging 4.5 runs per game and have shown they can keep up in high scoring affairs. When you look at the season averages, Houston is allowing 5.2 runs per game while Minnesota is giving up 4.0. The model expects this game to land around 9.6 total runs. That is a full run higher than the current line. And while the Twins have dominated the head to head matchups this season with a 3 and 1 record, the real value is in the total. The combination of Minnesota's potent offense and Houston's defensive struggles makes the over a very strong play. I also like the Twins moneyline because Joe Ryan gives them a significant advantage on the mound compared to Burrows.

The public looks at Joe Ryan's season ERA and assumes this will be a pitcher's duel. They are ignoring Mike Burrows' struggles and the fact that both of these offenses are top fifteen units that can explode at any time.

The White Sox are coming in as road underdogs, but the numbers suggest they should be much closer to even. Trey Gibson is starting for Baltimore and his numbers are trending in the wrong direction. He has a 5.64 ERA on the year, but that has ballooned to 7.28 over his most recent starts. Chicago's offense ranks eighth in the league and they should be licking their chops at this matchup. The Orioles are allowing 5.6 runs per game on average. That is a recipe for disaster against a lineup that scores nearly five runs every night. Erick Fedde gets the ball for Chicago and he has been pitching out of his mind lately. While his season ERA is 4.34, he has posted a 1.76 mark over his recent outings. He is facing a Baltimore offense that is talented, ranking tenth in the league, but they have been inconsistent. The Orioles have gone 4 and 6 over their last ten games. My model has the spread at Baltimore minus 0.6, which makes the Chicago plus 1.5 line look like a steal. There is a 10.8 percent edge on the White Sox to cover the run line. Even though Baltimore has won 3 of 4 matchups this season, the average margin is only 0.3 runs. This game is going to be tight. Chicago has the pitching edge with Fedde, and their offense is good enough to exploit Gibson's recent struggles.

Bettors love backing the Orioles at home, especially against a White Sox team that has a losing record. But they are missing the massive gap in recent pitching performance between Fedde and Gibson.

Seattle and the Angels are meeting in a game where the total is set at a lowly 7 runs. My model thinks that is a mistake and sees a 6.6 percent edge on the over. Bryan Woo is starting for the Mariners and he has struggled recently with a 5.26 ERA over his last few starts. While Seattle's defense is usually elite, ranking sixth in the league, Woo has not been sharp lately. The Angels offense is middle of the pack at 13th, but they are scoring 4.5 runs per game. Jose Soriano starts for the Angels and his recent form is even more concerning than Woo's. He has a 5.82 ERA in his recent starts despite a season average of 3.32. This suggests he is hitting a wall or struggling with his command. Seattle's offense is ranked 27th in the league, which is poor, but they are facing an Angels defense that ranks 24th. Something has to give. The model projects this total at 7.5 runs. And while 7 is a low bar to clear, the recent struggles of both starting pitchers make the over a high confidence play. The Angels have been playing better lately with a 6 and 4 record in their last ten games. Seattle has been hovering around .500 and is only 4 and 6 recently. The Mariners are favorites on the moneyline, but the value is on the Angels keeping it close and both teams finding a way to score.

The public is used to seeing low totals in Seattle and thinks these two pitchers are better than they have played lately. The model sees the recent ERA spikes as a sign that the over is the right side.
