New York Yankees vs. Boston Red Sox
- Leg 1: Cam Schlittler Over 6.5 Strikeouts (+100)
- Leg 2: Aaron Judge Over 1.5 Total Bases (-120)
- Leg 3: Ben Rice Over 1.5 Total Bases (+110)
The New York Yankees are set to pitch ace Cam Schlittler tonight. The young right-hander has struck out 34.3% of batters this season and has allowed a .059 ISO and a wOBA of .194.
He’ll battle a projected Red Sox lineup that has struck out 25.3% of the time against righties this season. There are seven batters who have struck out more than 23% of the time against righties in the Boston lineup.
Meanwhile, Payton Tolle will likely get the start for the Red Sox. The young lefty struggled last season, allowing a .258 ISO and a wOBA of .378 to all batters faced. He was bad against righties and lefties.
This season, Aaron Judge has socked a .556 ISO and a wOBA of .492 against lefties. Ben Rice has added a .450 ISO and a wOBA of .490 against lefties as a left-handed hitter. Rice was sitting against lefties to begin the year. That won’t be the case anymore.
Parlay Odds: +644
Minnesota Twins vs. New York Mets
- Leg 1: Christian Scott Over 4.5 Strikeouts (-112)
- Leg 2: Joe Ryan Under 6.5 Strikeouts (-172)
- Leg 3: MJ Melendez Over 1.5 Total Bases (+140)
The New York Mets finally added a win after a 12-game losing streak. They just had to see one go through. Now they’ll play better baseball, especially with Juan Soto back in the lineup.
Anyway, the Mets will face Joe Ryan of the Twins. Ryan is supposed to be the ace of the staff. He’s struck out 26.2% of batters this season, but has also allowed an 11.3% barrel percentage to 42.3% of hard contact and 31% of fly balls. The Mets have six batters in the lineup with low strikeout rates against righties this season. Take Ryan to add below 6.5 strikeouts.
Additionally, M.J. Melendez has raked a .312 ISO and a wOBA of .433 against righties since being called up by the Mets. The left-handed slugger has hit 100% hard contact when making contact against righties.
Finally, Christian Scott will start for the Mets. He hasn’t pitched since two seasons ago after sitting out all of last year. He’s shown off a lot of strikeout potential in Triple A and will battle a Twins lineup that has struck out 26.6% of the time against right-handed pitching this season. Scott isn’t new to the league. He’s started and had success in the majors previously. Let’s take him to go Over 4.5 strikeouts to close out this parlay.
