  • Pitching Matchup: Tony Gonsolin (LAD) vs. Cal Quantrill (MIA)

  • Money Line: Dodgers -260 / Marlins +231

  • Total: 9 with heavy VIG on the over

Analysis:

  • Gonsolin returns from injury (Tommy John), having gone 6 IP, 3 ER, 9 K in his last start (also vs. Marlins).

  • Quantrill allowed 4 ER in 3.2 IP vs. Dodgers in his last outing. Lifetime vs. LAD: 1–7, 8.22 ERA (9 appearances).

  • Dodgers expected to rake against Quantrill.

  • Key Player Note: Dodgers’ Tommy Edman on IL (8 HR, 24 RBI pre-injury).

  • Recommendation: Target Dodgers team total or full game over (9 or 9.5).

  • Pitching Matchup: Nathan Eovaldi (TEX) vs. Lucas Giolito (BOS)

  • Money Line: Rangers -116 / Red Sox +105

  • Total: 9

Eovaldi:

  • 12 IP, 1 ER, 15 K, 1 BB over last two starts

  • Dominant vs. LAD: 6 IP, 2 ER, 7 K

  • Former Red Sox pitcher; familiarity with Fenway noted

Giolito:

  • Coming off injury; throwing only 91 mph

  • Labeled a liability unless changeup is elite

  • Red Sox broadcast hyped his return, but skepticism remains

Griffin’s Take:

  • Rangers suspect on offense (fired hitting coaches, waived Leody Taveras)

  • Giolito's recent performance isn’t promising

  • Leans: Red Sox as underdog or over

Munaf’s Bet:

  • Rangers 1st five innings money line

  • Pitching Matchup: Zach Wheeler (PHI) vs. Drew Rasmussen (TB)

  • Money Line: Phillies -116 / Rays +105

  • Total: 8

Zach Wheeler:

  • Has allowed 2+ ER in every start after his opener

Drew Rasmussen:

  • Poor run support; team lost 4 of last 5 starts

Insights:

  • Phillies offense sluggish early

  • Both teams may lean on bullpens

  • Recommended Bet: Under 8 or 1st five under 4

  • Pitching Matchup: Michael King (SD) vs. Clark Schmidt (NYY)

  • Money Line: Padres -109 / Yankees -101

  • Total: 8–8.5

Michael King:

  • Former Yankee, familiar with stadium

  • 3 ER over last 4 starts; includes CG shutout vs. Rockies

Clark Schmidt:

  • Moved from weekend start; less favorable matchup

  • Questionable bullpen support for Yankees

Recommendation:

  • Munaf’s Best Bet: Padres money line (King’s form and Yankee familiarity)

  • Pitching Matchup: Andrew Abbott (CIN) vs. Chris Sale (ATL)

  • Money Line: Braves -212 / Reds +190

  • Total: 8

Key Points:

  • Braves offense still underperforming; Acuña out

  • Chris Sale: Solid at home; 10 K in last start vs. Rockies

  • Abbott: Recent short starts (4 IP), Reds’ offense weak

Bets Suggested:

  • Over 8, Braves team total, or 1st 5 over

  • Pitching Matchup: Justin Verlander (SF) vs. Colin Rea (CHC)

  • Money Line: Cubs -140 / Giants +127

  • Total: TBD (pending Wrigley wind)

Verlander:

  • Last 3 starts: 6 IP each, 4 ER total, 4–6 K per game

Rea:

  • Career vs. SF: 1–3, 8.57 ERA

  • Last start vs. SF: 4 IP, 10 ER

Griffin’s View:

  • Cubs’ offense strong; Pete Crow-Armstrong hot

  • Giants' bullpen more reliable

Pick: Giants money line +127 (Verlander advantage)

  • Pitching Matchup: Sean Burke (CWS) vs. Seth Lugo (KC)

  • Money Line: Royals -220 / White Sox +197

  • Total: 8.5
