Out of the last five home games, the Cardinals have suffered three losses. They have only scored nine runs in their last three home games due to offensive struggles. In this game, their offensive woes will persist.

Rea has had a few nasty encounters this term, so I don't trust him. I have more faith in Lugo in this game than Rea, who gave up three home runs and five earned runs against the Yankees on April 26.

The Twins had a lot of momentum going into their loss on Sunday and had improved offensively. Give Minnesota the advantage in this game so they can score several runs against Hancock.

Pitcher Shota Imanaga of the Chicago Cubs is off to a great start in his Major League Baseball career. The left-hander has a 0.78 ERA and a 5-0 record. Imanaga has only four walks and 35 strikeouts.

In their last six home games, the Braves have won five of them. In their last three home games, they have scored 12 runs, demonstrating their strong attacking performance.

This season, the Thunder have been among the greatest teams to play at home, and there are no indications that they will slow down or lose this one. In addition, Doncic and Hardaway Jr. struggle with ailments.

I believe that Tatum will average more than 30 points per game in this series, with Brown following closely behind. The guards for the Celtics will concentrate on limiting Mitchell's scoring surges and slowing him down.

The Rays have lost five of six and eight of ten to extend their losing streak, while New York is coming off a victory and have won 3 of the last 5. The Mets should prevail in this one.

This season, Yusei Kikuchi has only given up more than three runs in a single start. Only one of Patrick Corbin's 2024 outings saw him give up fewer than four runs.

With Nola well-rested and prepared, the Phillies should be able to get into the sixth inning here before turning the game over to a more rested bullpen.

A strong defense is necessary to support Quantrill, a pitcher who does not rack up a lot of strikeouts. Because of a strong double-play combination with Cleveland last year, he had greater support, but in Colorado, he lacks the same magnitude of fielding ability.

After their impressive series against the Yankees, the Orioles will likely be overrated; nevertheless, Baltimore gave it their all to defeat the Yanks and now faces a rest disadvantage in an interleague game.

On the road, the Brewers pitching staff has surrendered almost two less runs than they have at home. Despite Ross's patchy performance this season, the Cubs are a squad that has been having trouble at the plate.

What's so funny?

Although Pfaadt has improved since the beginning of the month, he is still not at the top of the game. He has given up 15 runs in total across his last four starts.
