LA ranks 2nd in wRC+ against RHP, while Milwaukee ranks 21st in wRC+ against LHP. LA has the advantage on the bump with Skubal and offensively in this one.

The Cardinals have the edge on the mound, but their offense isn't nearly as strong as the Cubs in this matchup. The Cardinals played well yesterday against Chicago, and with the recent struggles Cabrera has had on the mounds, I think St. Louis can keep this one close.

Dean Kremer has looked sharp in his 2 starts with Minnesota. Andrew Painter has been solid in his 3 starts since being called back up. Neither offense is in elite form against righties, and both bullpens rank in the top half of xERA and FIP across the last 30 days.

Eury Perez is in dominant form currently and draws a Reds lineup heavily prone to the strikeout. Nick Lodolo was shaky in his return from the IL but draws a Marlins lineup in the bottom 5 against lefties across the last 30 days. I favor the under on the posted game total.

Freddy Peralta makes his home debut as a Ray against a slumping Baltimore lineup. Trevor Rogers enters this game in good form with 2 or fewer earned runs allowed in 10 of his last 12 starts made.

Noah Cameron has been pitching well in his last 4 starts for the Royals and now draws an Angels team slumping heavily against lefties. Ryan Johnson is worth betting against until further notice, even when the Royals are the lineup you're betting on.

Dean Kremer has looked sharp in his 2 starts with Minnesota. Andrew Painter has been solid in his 3 starts since being called back up. Neither offense is in elite form against righties, and both bullpens rank in the top half of xERA and FIP across the last 30 days.

Sean Burke has been pitching incredible this season as he has a 2.99 ERA in 135.2 innings. The Tigers are without two of their more powerful bats in Riley Greene and Kerry Carpenter.

The Mets are suddenly good at baseball, now that it doesn't matter. They have a significant pitching advantage today, and the Nationals also have a messy bullpen. The Mets should win this one, even if there isn't a lot of value to be had here.

Michael Soroka has a 2.92 ERA in 8.1 innings this season. Bryce Elder is coming off one of his worst outings of the season where he allowed seven earned runs in 5.0 innings against the New York Mets.

Casey Mize is someone I enjoy betting on with his steady play and balanced profile. He has had success against the Guardians both this season and in the past. Tanner Bibee is a solid arm for Cleveland but not someone I like to back against lineups in elite form like the Padres are in.

The Rangers have been the better team all season, and even though the A's can score runs, their bullpen is a real threat. With the A's inability to close things out all season long, I can't trust them in this spot, which is why I'm backing Texas in this matchup.

I don't have confidence in either lineup heading into this matchup, but I do like what Tidwell has done on the mound for the Giants. He's coming off his longest outing this season, and will be in a good spot to keep things rolling against Colorado in this one.

The Cardinals have the edge on the mound, but their offense isn't nearly as strong as the Cubs in this matchup. The Cardinals played well yesterday against Chicago, and with the recent struggles Cabrera has had on the mounds, I think St. Louis can keep this one close.

The Yankees offense is hard to trust heading into this matchup, and with Dylan Cease on the mound for the Blue Jays, I don't expect New York to do much at the plate. Weathers has pitched well lately, but even if he puts together another strong performance, don't expect New York to do much offensively to back him.

Both defenses should lead the way in a game where the backup quarterbacks on both teams can't be trusted to produce at a high level.

I favor the under in Saturday's matchup between the Arizona Diamondbacks and Atlanta Braves. Eduardo Rodriguez just shut down the Dodgers and has been excellent all season for Arizona. Grant Holmes has tossed back-to-back scoreless outings spanning 12 total innings.

It is a Misiorowski day, and that usually means scoring is hard to come by. Justin Wrobleski has struggled lately, but he will get a short hook on Saturday if he is ineffective. Both lineups have been missing key players this weekend (Turang, Freeman), so this should be a playoff-like battle where every run is hard.

I lean towards the over in Saturday's matchup between the Miami Marlins and Cincinnati Reds. I expect the bats to wake up a bit after Friday's pitching duel between the teams.
