Texas Rangers vs. Los Angeles Dodgers
- Leg 1: Brandon Nimmo Over 1.5 Total Bases (+100)
- Leg 2: Corey Seager Over 1.5 Total Bases (-115)
- Leg 3: Evan Carter Over 1.5 Total Bases (+155)
The Los Angeles Dodgers are set to pitch Roki Sasaki today. Unfortunately, he’s struggled against lefties since entering the league last year. The right-hander allowed a .198 ISO and wOBA of .341 to 96 lefties last season and has given up a .250 ISO and wOBA of .393 to all lefties faced this year.
The Rangers have some lefties that can do damage, too.
Brandon Nimmo has smashed a .177 ISO and wOBA of .340 against righties dating back to last season. His strikeout rate is just a little over 20%, which isn’t so bad against righties.
Corey Seager has added a .233 ISO and wOBA of .393 against righties since last season, too. He’s hit 32.6% of fly balls with a team-best 16.7% barrel percentage against righties during this stretch.
Finally, Evan Carter has knocked a .167 ISO and wOBA of .349 against righties since last season. He’s also kept his strikeout rate down and has hit a 30% line drive rate against righties during that time. He’s got the highest line drive percentage against righties in the projected lineup. That should help him land a couple of hits or an extra base hit.
Parlay Odds: +802
Cleveland Guardians vs. Atlanta Braves
- Leg 1: Chris Sale Over 6.5 Strikeouts (-140)
- Leg 2: Drake Baldwin Over 1.5 Total Bases (+100)
- Leg 3: Matt Olson Over 1.5 Total Bases (+115)
Chris Sale will step on the mound for the Atlanta Braves tonight for Sunday Night Baseball. The lefty has struck out 25.4% of batters this season, but he added 32.1% of strikeouts last season. Ultimately, he’s set to face a Guardians projected lineup that has five batters who have struck out at least 25% of the time against lefties since last season.
On the other hand, Tanner Bibee will start for the Guardians. He’s allowed a .323 ISO and wOBA of .356 against 36 lefties this year. Those lefties have added 72.7% of hard contact with a 13.6% barrel percentage.
Let’s take advantage of lefties Drake Baldwin and Matt Olson. Baldwin has added a .219 ISO and wOBA of .364 against righties since last year. He’s also struck out 15.3% of the time against righties, while hitting 25% of line drives.
Meanwhile, Matt Olson has slugged a team-best .236 ISO against righties since last season. He’s earned a .385 wOBA against righties with 69.6% of hard contact and a 15.8% barrel percentage against righties since last year. This is a good matchup for Olson!
