Dustin May Over 4.5 Strikeouts

Los Angeles Dodgers vs San Diego Padres 9:40 PM EST

Dustin May has reestablished himself as a key starter for the Los Angeles Dodgers, delivering a solid, reliable performance across 11 starts (61.2 innings). He owns a 3–4 record with a 4.09 ERA, 1.25 WHIP, and 63 strikeouts. Even though he doesn’t have the most impressive ERA, he has been great when it comes to a strikeout perspective. May has recorded at least 5+ Ks in his last 5 games. This game will be played in Petco Park, which is one of the more pitcher friendly ball parks in the league. I expect May to last long in this game and rack up the strikeouts.

Sandy Alcantara Under 2.5 Earned Runs

Miami Marlins vs Pittsburgh Pirates 6:40 PM EST

Sandy Alcántara’s return from Tommy John surgery has been rocky, marked by inconsistency and elevated results that deviate sharply from his pre-injury form. Over 12 starts totaling 57 innings of work, he carries a 2–7 record and a 7.89 ERA, which is the highest among qualifying MLB starters, alongside a WHIP of 1.58 and just 44 strikeouts. It might be tough to back Alcantara right now, but he’s coming off his best start, where he only allowed 2 runs. I think he can carry that momentum into this game, going against one of the worst lineups in the league. I won’t back Alcantara much this season, but I truly think this is a good spot for him. 

Chris Sale Over 7.5 Strikeouts

Atlanta Braves vs Milwaukee Brewers 7:40 PM EST

Chris Sale has made 13 starts, posting a 3–4 record with a strong 2.93 ERA, 73.2 innings pitched, 96 strikeouts (6th in MLB), and a 1.24 WHIP. His game logs include multiple double-digit strikeout games, such as a 10‑K outing on June 4th vs. Arizona and an 8-inning, 8‑strikeout performance vs. Philadelphia on May 29th. He’s logged 8+ strikeouts in 5 of his last 6 games. Chris Sale is playing out of his mind right now, and I have no problem backing him in this one. This Brewers offense is nothing to write home about and should result in another solid start from Sale.
