Jim Turvey's Guardians vs Pirates Best Bet: Fade Paul Skenes
By Jim Turvey
It's a little scary betting the under on strikeouts for the best pitcher in baseball — but this number for Paul Skenes on Saturday against the Guardians is too high.
Skenes hasn't cleared 7.5 strikeouts in any start this season, and dating back to last season, he has gone under in 11 of his last 15 starts.
The matchup is also tough one for strikeouts, with Cleveland being a notoriously contact-heavy squad.
This season, the Guardians rank 21st in strikeout rate against righties, and if you increase the sample size to go back all the way to the start of the 2024 season, they are 26th.
I bet this under when it was listed at 7.5 strikeouts, but I would play under 6.5 if the number is better than +110.
Pick: Paul Skenes Under 6.5 Strikeouts (+115)
Cardinals vs Mets Player Prop: Luis Torrens Hits
By Derek Carty
There is a value on Luis Torrens' hits prop today against the Cardinals.
THE BAT X is projecting Torrens to record 0.73 hits, while oddsmakers are implying 0.94.
The model believes there is a 48% chance he records fewer than one hit, so there is value on the under at +175.
Pick: Luis Torres Under 0.5 Hits (+175)
Jim Turvey's Guardians vs Pirates Best Bet: Fade Paul Skenes
By Charlie Wright
I faded Chris Sale a few times to start the season, when his velocity was down and he was struggling with efficiency. Now, it's time to ride with him.
