AI Picks · 15 Bets · Aug 24
Ranger Suarez u5.5 Ks (-155)
Suarez has struck out just 3, 2, and 3 over his last 3 starts with a 13.8 K% over that stretch, and he averages only 4.4 IP/gs, so both the rate and the length work against clearing this number. Even with his outs line set at 17.5, projecting more innings than he has been throwing, a low-strikeout arm against a Miami lineup carrying a modest 20.3 K% over their last 6 leaves no path to six punchouts. The juice buys a high-probability outcome the market has priced far too close.
Found at 4:16 AM ET
Sandy Alcantara u4.5 Ks (-108)
Alcantara's last 3 starts have produced a 13.9 K% on a 14.8 Whiff% — 8, 2 and 1 strikeouts, an average of 3.7 per outing even while going 6.7 IP/gs. Boston is the hardest lineup on the board to strike out right now at a 13.5 K% and 14.4 Whiff% vs right-handed pitching over their last 6, down from 17.9 over their last 12. A contact-first opponent against an arm currently pitching to soft contact rather than swings-and-misses makes four or fewer the likelier outcome, and the market has it at an even-money coin flip.
Found at 10:36 AM ET
Cade Cavalli o6.5 Ks (+108)
Cavalli has struck out 8, 10 and 11 in his last 3 starts on a 39.2 K% and 35.3 Whiff%, going 6.7 IP/gs, and he punched out 8 in 6 innings the one time he faced Colorado in July. The Rockies are striking out at a 27.7 clip vs right-handed pitching over their last 6 with a 24.2 Whiff%, and their 23.8 K% over the last 12 says the swing-and-miss is not a one-week blip. His outs line at 17.5 with the over at -191 confirms the innings are expected to be there, and plus money on seven strikeouts from an arm that has cleared the number in all three of his last starts is the mispricing.
Found at 10:36 AM ET
Ryan Feltner u3.5 Ks (+110)
Feltner has struck out 2, 2 and 3 over his last 3 starts, a 9.5 K% with a negative K-BB% and a 12.2 BB% that eats his pitch count before he can pile up outs, and he still averaged only 5.1 IP/gs in that stretch. Washington is not helping him get there with a 20.0 K% and 22.0 Whiff% vs right-handed pitching over their last 6, numbers that match their 22.0 K% over the last 12. He has not reached four strikeouts in any recent outing, and plus money on three or fewer is a price built on reputation rather than on what he has actually thrown.
Found at 10:36 AM ET
WSN Team Total u4.5 (-110)
Washington is at 51 wRC+ vs RHP over their last 6 with a 64 mark over their last 12 — the same dismal read in both windows, with a 31.6% hard-hit rate that shows no quality of contact behind it. Ryan Feltner is nothing special at a 4.74 xERA over his last 3, but he has completed at least five innings in each of them, which limits how much of this game the Colorado bullpen has to cover. A number set at five runs asks the worst-hitting lineup on this slate to have its best night of the month.
Found at 4:29 PM ET
TEX Team Total u3.5 (+110)
Texas has an 18 wRC+ vs RHP over their last 6 with a 30.8 K% over that window, and even the longer look sits at a broken 47 wRC+ over their last 12 — this lineup simply cannot score right now. They average 2.8 runs per road game over their last 5. Urquidy (2.27 xERA over his last 3) and a competent Chicago bullpen give no relief, yet the market is offering plus money on a club that has been shut down for two weeks.
Found at 4:16 AM ET
Kumar Rocker u15.5 Outs (+165)
Rocker has thrown 3.0, 5.0 and 5.0 innings in his last 3 starts — 9, 15 and 15 outs, not one of them past this number — with a 12.3 BB% that pushed him to 94 and 92 pitches just to reach the fifth. Even in his two strong outings against the White Sox he needed 82 and 75 pitches for 5 and 6 innings, and Chicago's 29.5 Whiff% vs right-handed pitching over their last 6 means deep counts rather than quick innings. Getting plus money on a starter who has finished five innings exactly once in three tries is a price that does not match his recent workload.
Found at 10:36 AM ET
CLE @ LAA u8.0 (-106)
Messick (1.95 xERA over his last 3) and Klassen (3.29 xERA over his last 3) are both pitching well, and neither offense can punish them: Cleveland is at 83 wRC+ vs RHP over their last 6 and the Angels a dismal 68 wRC+ vs LHP over the same window. Both bullpens have been elite over their last 12 (Cleveland 2.38 ERA, Los Angeles 2.19 ERA), so there is no soft relief to inflate the score. Two quality arms, two punchless lineups and two lockdown pens make eight a number this game rarely reaches.
Found at 4:16 AM ET
Merrill Kelly u16.5 Outs (-108)
Kelly has a 6.65 xERA and a 16.4 BB% over his last 3, averaging 4.9 IP/gs with lines of 5.2, 5.0 and 4.0 innings, and his three meetings with the Cubs went 5.1, 5.2 and 4.1 — clearing this number just twice in seven relevant starts. The Cubs arrive with a 141 wRC+ vs right-handed pitching over their last 6 and a 40.0 HH%, backed by 127 over their last 12, which is the sort of lineup that runs a walk-prone starter's pitch count up early. Arizona's pen is stressed at 5.7 innings, but that has not stopped this staff from pulling him before the sixth, and the market has this at a straight coin flip.
Found at 10:36 AM ET
CHC @ ARI o9.0 (-110)
Chicago's 141 wRC+ vs right-handed pitching over their last 6, supported by 127 over their last 12, meets a Kelly who has posted a 6.65 xERA, a 16.4 BB% and a negative K-BB% across his last 3 and has given up 6 earned in each of his last two outings. Gausman has a 6.19 ERA over his last 3 with a 42.9 HH% and has been pulled at 4.2 and 4.1 innings in back-to-back starts, handing the ball to relievers with Arizona's lineup making contact at a 14.0 K% over their last 6. Arizona's pen is already stressed at 5.7 innings and Arizona has averaged 6.2 runs at home behind this starter, so nine runs in a 107-degree Chase Field should be priced as more than a coin flip.
Found at 10:36 AM ET
Jeffrey Springs u3.5 Ks (-106)
Springs has struck out 0, 2 and 1 across his last 3 starts, a 5.6 K% with a 16.7 BB% that has held him to 3.7 IP/gs over that span, and he lasted 1.1 innings the last time he faced this Minnesota club. The Twins are the wrong lineup to find strikeouts against: 12.5 K% vs left-handed pitching over their last 6 with a 17.2 Whiff%. Even his longest recent outing, 5.2 innings at Kansas City, produced a single strikeout, so a number set at 3.5 asks for more than double his recent per-start output and the price still treats it as a coin flip.
Found at 10:36 AM ET
Zebby Matthews u17.5 Outs (-130)
Matthews has gone 5.0, 5.0 and 5.2 innings in his last 3 starts — 15, 15 and 17 outs, none of them clearing this number — at 83, 94 and 90 pitches, and his 5.2 IP/gs over that window sits a full inning below the line. He is working in a hitter-friendly park at 91 degrees with a 63.5 HH% allowed over his last 3, and the Athletics have hammered the ball at home behind their own starters. Getting to six full innings requires a step past anything he has done recently, and the market has this priced as barely better than even.
Found at 10:36 AM ET
PHI Team Total o3.5 (+100)
Philadelphia carries a 140 wRC+ vs right-handed pitching over their last 6 with a 12.9 K% and 18.2 Whiff%, and the 126 over their last 12 says this is established form rather than a week-long heater. Gilbert has walked 12.5% of hitters over his last 3 and was rocked for 9 hits and 6 earned in 2 innings against this same lineup on August 18, and behind him sits a Seattle bullpen with a 5.04 xERA and 10.20 ERA over its last 12. Four runs from a lineup this disciplined against that combination should not be an even-money proposition.
Found at 10:36 AM ET
Chase Burns o6.5 Ks (-104)
Burns has struck out 6, 8 and 8 over his last 3 starts behind a 31.0% K rate and 30.6% whiff, and San Francisco has struck out at a 32.2% clip vs RHP over their last 6 with a 29.8% whiff rate — a lineup missing far more bats than its 23.1% mark over the last 12 suggested. His outs line at 17.5 puts him in line for close to six innings, which is the length this number needs, and he reached 104 pitches last time out. Two of his last three starts already clear this number against lineups that make more contact than tonight's, and the price treats a strikeout-per-inning pace as a coin flip.
Found at 4:29 PM ET
C. Whisenhunt u4.5 Ks (-117)
Whisenhunt has a 10.6% K rate over his last 3 starts with 4, 2 and 1 strikeouts in them, averaging 4.3 innings and 2.3 K per outing. Cincinnati's 25.0% K rate vs LHP over their last 6 sits well above the 15.9% whiff rate that supports it, so the strikeouts are not being earned on missed bats and that number is more fragile than it looks. His 12.1% walk rate over his last 3 keeps him from working deep enough for five punchouts, and at Oracle Park in 61-degree air the market is pricing an outing roughly double his recent strikeout output.

AI Analysis
Tampa Bay at 60 wRC+ vs LHP over their last 6 against Framber Valdez and Detroit at 104 wRC+ vs RHP against Drew Rasmussen's 2.81 xERA over his last 3 produce a total right around the posted 7.5, and the Rays at -124 reflect the pitching edge without overpaying for it. Rasmussen's strikeout line at 5.5 sits at his 5.3 per start against a Detroit lineup striking out just 18.4% over its last 6, and his outs line at 17.5 matches the 5.7 innings he has averaged. Valdez at 3.5 strikeouts is where his 4.3 per start lands with the price already gone at -151, and his outs line at 18.5 is a six-inning ask from a pitcher whose 13.8% walk rate over his last 3 has him at 100-plus pitches by the sixth.

Cade Cavalli o6.5 Ks (+108)
Cavalli has struck out 8, 10 and 11 in his last 3 starts on a 39.2 K% and 35.3 Whiff%, going 6.7 IP/gs, and he punched out 8 in 6 innings the one time he faced Colorado in July. The Rockies are striking out at a 27.7 clip vs right-handed pitching over their last 6 with a 24.2 Whiff%, and their 23.8 K% over the last 12 says the swing-and-miss is not a one-week blip. His outs line at 17.5 with the over at -191 confirms the innings are expected to be there, and plus money on seven strikeouts from an arm that has cleared the number in all three of his last starts is the mispricing.
Ryan Feltner u3.5 Ks (+110)
Feltner has struck out 2, 2 and 3 over his last 3 starts, a 9.5 K% with a negative K-BB% and a 12.2 BB% that eats his pitch count before he can pile up outs, and he still averaged only 5.1 IP/gs in that stretch. Washington is not helping him get there with a 20.0 K% and 22.0 Whiff% vs right-handed pitching over their last 6, numbers that match their 22.0 K% over the last 12. He has not reached four strikeouts in any recent outing, and plus money on three or fewer is a price built on reputation rather than on what he has actually thrown.
WSN Team Total u4.5 (-110)
Washington is at 51 wRC+ vs RHP over their last 6 with a 64 mark over their last 12 — the same dismal read in both windows, with a 31.6% hard-hit rate that shows no quality of contact behind it. Ryan Feltner is nothing special at a 4.74 xERA over his last 3, but he has completed at least five innings in each of them, which limits how much of this game the Colorado bullpen has to cover. A number set at five runs asks the worst-hitting lineup on this slate to have its best night of the month.

TEX Team Total u3.5 (+110)
Texas has an 18 wRC+ vs RHP over their last 6 with a 30.8 K% over that window, and even the longer look sits at a broken 47 wRC+ over their last 12 — this lineup simply cannot score right now. They average 2.8 runs per road game over their last 5. Urquidy (2.27 xERA over his last 3) and a competent Chicago bullpen give no relief, yet the market is offering plus money on a club that has been shut down for two weeks.
Kumar Rocker u15.5 Outs (+165)
Rocker has thrown 3.0, 5.0 and 5.0 innings in his last 3 starts — 9, 15 and 15 outs, not one of them past this number — with a 12.3 BB% that pushed him to 94 and 92 pitches just to reach the fifth. Even in his two strong outings against the White Sox he needed 82 and 75 pitches for 5 and 6 innings, and Chicago's 29.5 Whiff% vs right-handed pitching over their last 6 means deep counts rather than quick innings. Getting plus money on a starter who has finished five innings exactly once in three tries is a price that does not match his recent workload.

CLE @ LAA u8.0 (-106)
Messick (1.95 xERA over his last 3) and Klassen (3.29 xERA over his last 3) are both pitching well, and neither offense can punish them: Cleveland is at 83 wRC+ vs RHP over their last 6 and the Angels a dismal 68 wRC+ vs LHP over the same window. Both bullpens have been elite over their last 12 (Cleveland 2.38 ERA, Los Angeles 2.19 ERA), so there is no soft relief to inflate the score. Two quality arms, two punchless lineups and two lockdown pens make eight a number this game rarely reaches.

Merrill Kelly u16.5 Outs (-108)
Kelly has a 6.65 xERA and a 16.4 BB% over his last 3, averaging 4.9 IP/gs with lines of 5.2, 5.0 and 4.0 innings, and his three meetings with the Cubs went 5.1, 5.2 and 4.1 — clearing this number just twice in seven relevant starts. The Cubs arrive with a 141 wRC+ vs right-handed pitching over their last 6 and a 40.0 HH%, backed by 127 over their last 12, which is the sort of lineup that runs a walk-prone starter's pitch count up early. Arizona's pen is stressed at 5.7 innings, but that has not stopped this staff from pulling him before the sixth, and the market has this at a straight coin flip.
CHC @ ARI o9.0 (-110)
Chicago's 141 wRC+ vs right-handed pitching over their last 6, supported by 127 over their last 12, meets a Kelly who has posted a 6.65 xERA, a 16.4 BB% and a negative K-BB% across his last 3 and has given up 6 earned in each of his last two outings. Gausman has a 6.19 ERA over his last 3 with a 42.9 HH% and has been pulled at 4.2 and 4.1 innings in back-to-back starts, handing the ball to relievers with Arizona's lineup making contact at a 14.0 K% over their last 6. Arizona's pen is already stressed at 5.7 innings and Arizona has averaged 6.2 runs at home behind this starter, so nine runs in a 107-degree Chase Field should be priced as more than a coin flip.

Jeffrey Springs u3.5 Ks (-106)
Springs has struck out 0, 2 and 1 across his last 3 starts, a 5.6 K% with a 16.7 BB% that has held him to 3.7 IP/gs over that span, and he lasted 1.1 innings the last time he faced this Minnesota club. The Twins are the wrong lineup to find strikeouts against: 12.5 K% vs left-handed pitching over their last 6 with a 17.2 Whiff%. Even his longest recent outing, 5.2 innings at Kansas City, produced a single strikeout, so a number set at 3.5 asks for more than double his recent per-start output and the price still treats it as a coin flip.
Zebby Matthews u17.5 Outs (-130)
Matthews has gone 5.0, 5.0 and 5.2 innings in his last 3 starts — 15, 15 and 17 outs, none of them clearing this number — at 83, 94 and 90 pitches, and his 5.2 IP/gs over that window sits a full inning below the line. He is working in a hitter-friendly park at 91 degrees with a 63.5 HH% allowed over his last 3, and the Athletics have hammered the ball at home behind their own starters. Getting to six full innings requires a step past anything he has done recently, and the market has this priced as barely better than even.

PHI Team Total o3.5 (+100)
Philadelphia carries a 140 wRC+ vs right-handed pitching over their last 6 with a 12.9 K% and 18.2 Whiff%, and the 126 over their last 12 says this is established form rather than a week-long heater. Gilbert has walked 12.5% of hitters over his last 3 and was rocked for 9 hits and 6 earned in 2 innings against this same lineup on August 18, and behind him sits a Seattle bullpen with a 5.04 xERA and 10.20 ERA over its last 12. Four runs from a lineup this disciplined against that combination should not be an even-money proposition.

Chase Burns o6.5 Ks (-104)
Burns has struck out 6, 8 and 8 over his last 3 starts behind a 31.0% K rate and 30.6% whiff, and San Francisco has struck out at a 32.2% clip vs RHP over their last 6 with a 29.8% whiff rate — a lineup missing far more bats than its 23.1% mark over the last 12 suggested. His outs line at 17.5 puts him in line for close to six innings, which is the length this number needs, and he reached 104 pitches last time out. Two of his last three starts already clear this number against lineups that make more contact than tonight's, and the price treats a strikeout-per-inning pace as a coin flip.
C. Whisenhunt u4.5 Ks (-117)
Whisenhunt has a 10.6% K rate over his last 3 starts with 4, 2 and 1 strikeouts in them, averaging 4.3 innings and 2.3 K per outing. Cincinnati's 25.0% K rate vs LHP over their last 6 sits well above the 15.9% whiff rate that supports it, so the strikeouts are not being earned on missed bats and that number is more fragile than it looks. His 12.1% walk rate over his last 3 keeps him from working deep enough for five punchouts, and at Oracle Park in 61-degree air the market is pricing an outing roughly double his recent strikeout output.
