Los Angeles Dodgers vs. Colorado Rockies
- Leg 1: Shohei Ohtani Over 1.5 Total Bases (-192)
- Leg 2: Kyle Tucker Over 1.5 Total Bases (-146)
- Leg 3: Mickey Moniak Over 1.5 Total Bases (+115)
The Colorado Rockies will roll with Michael Lorenzen tonight. The right-hander has allowed a .400 ISO and wOBA of .515 to lefties to begin the season. He’s added only 12.8% of strikeouts against lefties and has allowed a 12.9% barrel percentage with only 7.6% of swinging strikes against lefties. Those Dodgers lefties will put the ball in play today.
Ultimately, Shohei Ohtani has hit a .348 ISO and a wOBA of .429 against righties since last season. Kyle Tucker has slugged a .188 ISO and a wOBA of .361 against lefties since last season. Those two have really good matchups against a struggling Lorenzen.
Meanwhile, the Dodgers are set to pitch Roki Sasaki. Sasaki has also struggled against lefties as a right-handed pitcher. Lefties have hit a .256 ISO and wOBA of .415 against Sasaki this season.
Mikey Moniak has been the hot bat for the Rockies, hitting a .286 ISO and a wOBA of .375 against righties since last season. Let’s add him to earn at least two total bases in this parlay.
Parlay Odds: +420
Atlanta Braves vs. Philadelphia Phillies
- Leg 1: Grant Holmes Under 5.5 Strikeouts (-178)
- Leg 2: Andrew Painter Under 4.5 Strikeouts (-107)
- Leg 3: Ronald Acuna Jr. Over 1.5 Total Bases (+122)
The Atlanta Braves will send out Grant Holmes for tonight’s Sunday Night Baseball game. Holmes has struck out only 19.3% of batters this season and will take on a Phillies lineup that has struck out only 20.5% of the time since last season. Only two batters in the Phillies lineup have struck out at an above-average rate against righties.
On the other hand, Andrew Painter will get the call for the Phillies. The righty has struck out only 18.2% of right-handed batters this season. Plus, he’s set to face a projected lineup that has struck out below 20% of the time against righties. Only Austin Riley has a higher strikeout rate than 23.3% against righties since last season.
We’ll fade both starting pitchers and their strikeout rates.
In addition, Ronald Acuna Jr. has slugged a .213 ISO and a wOBA of .396 against righties since last season. Painter has already allowed a .437 wOBA against righties and has earned only 8.2% of swinging strikes. Acuna Jr. should be able to put the ball in play a couple of times against Painter.
Parlay Odds: +440
