Brewers at Cubs – 11:20 AM ET (MLBN) — Game 1

Wrigley Field, Chicago • MIL (78–45) vs CHC (70–53)

Probable: Freddy Peralta (MIL 14–5, 2.90) vs Cade Horton (CHC 7–3, 3.07)

Best Bet: Brewers Moneyline

Why: Peralta’s elite K-rate and form give Milwaukee the SP edge; Brewers pen has been steadier in high-leverage spots.

Player Prop: Freddy Peralta Over 7.5 Strikeouts

Why: Cubs’ whiff profile vs high-spin four-seamers suits Peralta’s arsenal.

Astros at Tigers – 3:40 PM ET (MLBN)

Comerica Park • HOU (69–55) vs DET (73–53)

Line: HOU +125 @ DET −150

Probable: Spencer Arrighetti (HOU 1–3, 6.38) vs Jack Flaherty (DET 6–12, 4.76)

Best Bet: Tigers Moneyline

Why: Arrighetti’s command volatility vs a disciplined DET lineup; Flaherty’s peripherals stronger at home.

Player Prop: Riley Greene Over 1.5 Total Bases

Why: Crushes four-seam/slider mixes like Arrighetti’s; park boosts to RCF gap.

Cardinals at Marlins – 3:40 PM ET

loanDepot park • STL (61–64) vs MIA (59–65)

Line: STL +120 @ MIA −145

Probable: Matthew Liberatore (STL 6–10, 4.08) vs Eury Pérez (MIA 5–3, 3.58)

Best Bet: Marlins Moneyline

Why: Pérez’s swing-and-miss stuff plays in a big park; STL offense less potent away from Busch.

Player Prop: Jazz Chisholm Jr. Over 0.5 RBIs

Why: Middle-order spot with speed; Liberatore has allowed damage to lefty power.

Blue Jays at Pirates – 3:45 PM ET (MLBN)

PNC Park • TOR (73–52) vs PIT (52–73)

Line: TOR Even @ PIT −120

Probable: Kevin Gausman (TOR 8–9, 3.79) vs Paul Skenes (PIT 7–9, 2.13)

Best Bet: Under 7.5 Runs (alt total) / First 5 Under

Why: Aces with elite K/BB; PNC suppresses HRs. Lean slight PIT if picking a side due to Skenes’ dominance.

Player Prop: Paul Skenes Over 8.5 Strikeouts

Why: TOR’s chase rate rises vs upper-90s heat plus splitter profiles.

Mariners at Phillies – 4:10 PM ET

Citizens Bank Park • SEA (68–56) vs PHI (71–53)

Probable: Logan Gilbert (SEA 3–4, 3.31) vs Ranger Suárez (PHI 8–6, 3.28)

Best Bet: Phillies Moneyline

Why: Suárez’s ground-ball tilt neutralizes Seattle’s power; Phillies lineup deeper 1–9 at home.

Player Prop: Alec Bohm Over 1.5 Total Bases

Why: Contact-first bat vs four-seam/slider mix; pull-side doubles alley plays.

Orioles at Red Sox – 4:15 PM ET

Fenway Park • BAL (57–67) vs BOS (68–57)

Line: BAL Even @ BOS −120

Probable: Trevor Rogers (BAL 5–2, 1.43) vs Dustin May (BOS 7–8, 4.67)

Best Bet: Orioles +1.5 (Run Line)

Why: Rogers in strong form and can keep ball on the ground in Fenway; live dog with SP edge early.

Player Prop: Gunnar Henderson Over 1.5 Total Bases

Why: Lifts velo well; May’s contact quality allowed makes XBH viable.

White Sox at Braves – 4:40 PM ET

Truist Park • CHW (44–80) vs ATL (56–68)

Line: CHW +165 @ ATL −200

Probable: Yonny Gómez (CHW 2–1, 5.56) vs Spencer Strider (ATL 5–10, 4.69)

Best Bet: Braves −1.5 (Run Line)

Why: Strider’s strikeout ceiling vs MLB’s weakest offenses; CHW bullpen extremely volatile.

Player Prop: Spencer Strider Over 9.5 Strikeouts

Why: White Sox near bottom in contact metrics vs elite four-seamers.

Rangers at Royals – 5:05 PM ET

Kauffman Stadium • TEX (62–63) vs KC (63–61)

Line: TEX +115 @ KC −135

Probable: Jack Leiter (TEX 7–6, 3.94) vs Michael Wacha (KC 7–9, 3.35)

Best Bet: Royals Moneyline

Why: Wacha’s changeup plays in a big park; KC offense puts more balls in play and applies pressure with speed.

Player Prop: Bobby Witt Jr. Over 1.5 Total Bases

Why: Impact bat vs young SP; gap-to-gap power fits Kauffman’s dimensions.

Brewers at Cubs – 5:40 PM ET — Game 2

Wrigley Field • Doubleheader nightcap

Probable: TBA vs TBA

Best Bet: Under 4.5 Runs (First 5) — Lean

Why: DH nightcaps often start slower with mixed lineups; pens fresh from expanded usage plans. If wind is out to CF, pass.

Player Prop: Christopher Morel Over 0.5 Runs

Why: If batting top-4, he profiles to score with CHC’s OBP core behind him. Confirm lineup.

Dodgers at Rockies – 6:38 PM ET (FS1)

Coors Field • LAD (71–53) vs COL (35–89)

Line: LAD −270 @ COL +220

Probable: Yoshinobu Yamamoto (LAD 10–8, 2.84) vs Kyle Freeland (COL 3–12, 5.18)

Best Bet: Dodgers −1.5 (Run Line)

Why: Massive SP and lineup gap; Yamamoto’s command mitigates Coors trouble. Freeland faces brutal splits vs RH power.

Player Prop: Mookie Betts Over 1.5 Total Bases

Why: Drives LHP; Coors outfield alleys inflate XBH probability.

Reds at Angels – 6:40 PM ET (FS1)

Angel Stadium • CIN (65–60) vs LAA (60–64)

Line: CIN −110 @ LAA −110

Probable: Brady Singer (CIN 10–9, 4.31) vs Victor Mederos (LAA 0–0, 5.63)

Best Bet: Reds Moneyline

Why: Experience and command edge to Singer; Angels’ starter unproven with walk risk.

Player Prop: Elly De La Cruz Over 0.5 Stolen Bases

Why: Green light vs below-average control/catcher pop; game state favors aggression.

Guardians at Diamondbacks – 6:40 PM ET

Chase Field • CLE (63–60) vs ARI (60–65)

Probable: Gavin Williams (CLE 7–4, 3.38) vs Zac Gallen (ARI 9–12, 5.31)

Best Bet: Guardians Moneyline

Why: Williams’ velocity/ride fastball has outperformed; Gallen’s 2025 run-prevention has dipped with HR issues.

Player Prop: José Ramírez Over 1.5 Total Bases

Why: Crushes hanging breakers; Chase boosts to LCF gap.

Giants at Padres – 7:10 PM ET

Petco Park • SF (60–64) vs SD (69–55)

Probable: Robbie Ray (SF 9–6, 2.98) vs Nestor Cortes (SD 1–1, 5.71)

Best Bet: Giants +1.5 (Run Line)

Why: Ray in excellent form; Petco suppresses power and favors the better starter keeping this tight.

Player Prop: Heliot Ramos Over 0.5 RBIs

Why: Middle-order bat vs a lefty whose cutter/velo hasn’t fully rebounded.
