Tanner McGrath's Rangers vs Marlins Best Bet
Jacob deGrom isn't the man he once was, but he's still among the better pitchers in baseball. Sean Zerillo rates him as his No. 14 overall starting pitcher, as shown in his PRO baseball betting tool, BARTOLO:
He doesn't throw his fastball triple-digits anymore, but he still gets it over at around 97 MPH on average, which only makes his three nasty secondary pitches more effective — I've really enjoyed the changeup he's added over the past few seasons.
Eury Perez has nasty stuff, but very spotty command (93 Location+, 11% walk rate). He's also been somewhat prone to the long-ball this season (14% HR/FB rate), but part of spotty command is a lousy batted-ball profile (14% barrel rate allowed).
The Fish probably have the better lineup, bullpen, and defense in this game. However, I don't think it's enough to compensate for the vast difference between these two starting pitchers.
Pick: Rangers ML (-130 or Better)

Sean Paul's Yankees vs Tigers Best Bet
By Sean Paul
The start to Ryan Weathers’ tenure in the Bronx was pristine. He made the transition to the tough environment by posting a 3.00 ERA in his first eight outings.
However, his ERA is 5.55 in his last six outings, with a brutal 2.52 HR/9.
In all, he was a tad lucky early on. Now his numbers are right in line with his peripherals — owning a 4.13 ERA with a 4.18 xERA and 4.33 FIP.
You can still expect a steady diet of strikeouts, as Weathers collects a 9.93 K/9, his career-best. He features a mid-to-high 90s fastball with four other offerings coming 10% of the time or more.
Life without Aaron Judge is tough. He last suited up for the Bronx Bombers on May 31st. Since then, the Yankees are 12th in wRC+. That's not bad, but the Yankees are a consistent top-three offense in the league with Judge in the lineup.
The ship is sinking even farther in the last week, failing to score more than three runs in four of their past six contests.
The only three Yankees hitters worth trusting right now are Cody Bellinger, Ben Rice, and Paul Goldschmidt. The bottom portion of the order just has too much dead weight. They get nothing from the catcher spot, Jazz Chisholm struggles against lefties, Jose Caballero is a streaky slap hitter, and Anthony Volpe has very little power.
That bodes well for a low-scoring contest.
Particularly facing the stud that is Tarik Skubal.
Sure, Skubal gave up three runs in his two starts off the IL, but the most important part is that he's stretched out, throwing 94 pitches against the White Sox last week, while he maintained his 95-99 mph velocity throughout.
Skubal owns a 3.02 ERA with a 3.65 xERA and 2.75 FIP. It's hard to replicate his dominance in 2024 and 2025, but if the worst version of Skubal is a 3.02 ERA with an FIP in the 2s, then brighter days are coming.
The only real worrisome number is the decline in strikeouts. Skubal punched out over 11 per nine last year and is down to 9.5 this year. He still features a strong whiff and chase rate, which should lead to more strikeouts. We also don't know how long he was pitching with elbow pain. That could factor into his decrease in strikeouts.
The Tigers' offense has been on fire in June, posting a 124 wRC+, tied for the fifth-best in MLB. Their increased power has led to an offensive surge, tallying 36 home runs (2nd-most in that span).
Dillon Dingler, Kerry Carpenter, Riley Greene, and Spencer Torkelson each have 4+ homers this month. Dingler already has seven tanks with a dazzling 204 wRC+.
So, why am I rolling with the Under against such a fiery Tigers lineup?
Well, Comerica Park plays a role. Per Statcast, Comerica is 24th in park factor and 19th in home runs hit. The deep outfield leads to more extra-base hits and long fly-outs than homers, which should allow Weathers to pitch well.
Also, Greene and Carpenter don't hit left-handed pitching as well as they do against right-handed pitching. That should work in Weathers' favor.
Give me the Under in a getaway game pitchers' duel.
Pick: Under 7 (-110 or Better)

Evan Abrams's Braves vs Padres Best Bet
By Evan Abrams
This game triggered one of our Action PRO Betting Systems:
The Revenge Spot Favorites system backs strong teams that recently lost to the same opponent by a narrow margin.
These are teams with winning records, solid average margins of victory, and a moderate level of market favorability.
The setup looks for clubs in a groove (on a defined home or away stretch), deep enough into the season to have established identity and motivation.
When these teams re-enter a matchup after dropping the previous head-to-head by just a few runs, they often carry added focus, especially when still priced as the better team.
This system leans into that bounce-back edge where both form and motivation align.
The Braves lost a tough game in extra innings last night, 7-6, and should bounce back today.
Pick: Braves ML (-140 or Better)
