BryceHarper has been among the most powerful hitters through the first two-plus months of the season and he hasn’t shown any signs of slowing down. With 14 home runs, Harper is tied for the second-most in the NL while sitting third in SLG (.517), third in RBIs (44), and ninth in total bases (109).He should be capable of continuing his MVP-level play against the Milwaukee Brewers, especially with Aaron Ashby taking the mound. Ashby, who missed the entire 2023 season after shoulder surgery, was vaporized by the Cincinnati Reds in his lone start this year, giving up six hits, eight runs, and a home run in 3 2/3 innings. Now he has to try to find his stuff again against Harper and the Phillies? Good luck.

Paul Skenes, last year’s first-overall pick made his MLB debut less than a month ago against the Cubs. He struck out seven batters in four innings in that outing and has racked up 30 Ks across 22 innings (12.27 K/9, 35.7% K rate). The Dodgers don't travel all that well when it comes to avoiding punchouts, strikingout eight times last night and 22 times over their previous two road contests in New York.

Singer has allowed a .279 batting average and a .778 OPS over his last four starts. Meanwhile, six players in the Guardians' projected lineup have an expected batting average over .300 and an expected slugging percentage over .500 against the Royals hurler. Covers Prop Projections have Singer at 5.9 hits allowed, so at +115, we’re getting some nice value with the Over.

This New York Yankees offense has been the best in baseball for a month now. The Bombers will enter today ranking first in wRC+, wOBA, and SLG. In addition, they are only one of two teams ranking in the Top 5 in terms of barrel rate and hard-hit rate. They are in a position to explode today. The Yankees will face Minnesota Twins starter Chris Paddack. He has the two-fold issue I always look for when facing the Yankees as he ranks in the Bottom 25% in both hard-hit and barrel rates.

Rutschman is a ridiculous 12-for-19 with three dingers and two doubles in his career vs. Berrios. That works out to a .448 xBA and an .832 xSLG. The Orioles star catcher has gone Over 1.5 total bases four times during this hitting streak and in three of four games against the Jays this season. Our Covers Prop Projections have Rutschman at 1.8 total bases, so with a price tag of +130, I’ll happily back the Over in this matchup.

Toronto is now an ugly 3-14 straight-up vs. Baltimore with a -41 run differential since the start of last season. So, why did the Blue Jays open as -130 favorites in this one? Well, because Jose Berrios has been one of the bright spots of the team this season. But the O's have been aproblem for him.Current Orioles players have a .277 xBA and a .521 xSLG during their careers vs. Berrios. The O's counter Berrios with Albert Suarez who's spent the last several seasons in the NPB and KBO but Baltimore may have found something in th right-hander. Overall, his xERA and xBA rank in the 83rd and 77th percentiles. The O's have owned this matchup and I'm not sure Berrios will be enough to stop that.

It’s not just that the White Sox are losing, but it’s how they’re doing it. This team is averaging just 2.92 runs per game, by far the worst mark in the league. They’re also the second-worst in terms of runs allowed (5.20 per game), ahead of only the Colorado Rockies. In a league where a differential of one run per game is usually reserved for notably good or bad teams, the White Sox are losing by an average of about 2.3 runs. The White Sox have been particularly woeful on the road, going just 5-25 for the season away from home. During their current 12-game losing streak,Chicago has lost by at least two runs 10 times.

Has a tough matchup vs. shorter-leash starter Jose Soriano but is also a huge pinch-hit risk today. Peralta is hitting just .176, has played 11 games, and has a hit in just one of them. He has started five games and completed just one. This is an incredible price for a guy who can't hit and could see two or three plate appearances.

San Diego has feasted against right-handed pitching all year with a 119 wRC+ (second in MLB) and a .329 wOBA (third). And even if Angels starter Jose Soriano has been good, he has holes in his game the Padres can exploit, particularly with his high walk rate. On the other side, Los Angeles can't hit righties of late and faces one of the best in the business in Dylan Cease. The Friars have enough of an advantage to take this by multiple runs.
