Philadelphia Phillies vs Miami Marlins (6:40pm, EST)

Sandy Alcantara Over 5.5 Hits Allowed: (-150) at BetMGM Sportsbook

Just when it looked like Sandy Alcantara was going to be a force to be reckoned with after winning the Cy Young award, a devastating injury shelved him for over a year.

Since returning from injury, Alcantara has struggled to recapture the same success he had before he was forced to miss some time as the Miami Marlins pitcher is averaging an ERA of 7.14, a WHIP of 1.492, and a FIP of 4.71.

A major reason for his struggles stems from his inability to avoid contact as Alcantara is also averaging one Hit Against per Inning Pitched.

Against Philadelphia, his struggles with creating Whiffs are poised to persist as he faces off against a Phillies offense who ranks eighth overall in Contact Rate. Especially with his back end struggling in coverage as the Marlins defense ranks 25th overall in Defensive Efficiency.

Sandy Alcantara Over 2.5 Earned Runs: (-115) at BetMGM Sportsbook

With the Phillies offense in a position to make contact at a consistent rate, they will have a great opportunity to get into scoring position early and often in their contest against Miami.

With the Marlins back end bringing in a high amount of contact variance into the contest due to their lack of coverage, this also increases the Phillies chances of finding the gap to help bring home their runners.

Boston Red Sox vs Seattle Mariners (9:40pm, EST)

Julio Rodriguez Over 1.5 Total Bases: (+105) at BetMGM Sportsbook

Seattle’s Julio Rodriguez will have a great opportunity to put together a dominant performance against Lucas Giolito as the Mariners star batter excels at making contact.

As of writing, Rodriguez is averaging over one Hit per game, a .261 Batting Average, and a .742 OPS. For some more exposure, escalator bet Rodriguez’s Total Bases prop by placing smaller wagers on his alternate totals.

Lucas Giolito Under 16.5 Outs: (-120) at FanDuel Sportsbook

It has been a rough start to the year for Lucas Giolito as the Boston Red Sox pitcher heads into Monday night’s contest against the Seattle Mariners averaging an ERA of 5.45 and a WHIP of 1.538.

His back end also fails to provide him the coverage he needs to help mask his struggles on the mound as the Red Sox defense ranks in the bottom three in Defensive Efficiency and in Fielding Percentage.

With Seattle’s offense excelling at getting into scoring position as their high mark in On Base Percentage indicates, expect the Mariners to take advantage of Giolito’s lack of command and generate Runs at a consistent rate.

By scoring early on in the contest, this increases the chances of Giolito getting pulled before the middle of the sixth inning to help cash the under on this prop.

Los Angeles Angels vs New York Yankees (7:05pm, EST)

Los Angeles Angels First Five Team Total Under 1.5: (-105) at BetMGM Sportsbook

Even with Mike Trout back in the lineup, the former MVP has failed to elevate the Los Angeles Angels offense as a whole as they currently rank near the bottom of the board in Contact Rate, Total Runs Scored, RBIs, Bases on Walks, and in On Base Percentage.

Against Clarke Schmidt, expect the Angeles offense to continue to underwhelm as the New York Yankees pitcher is averaging an ERA of 3.60, a FIP of 3.73, and less than one Hit Against per Inning Pitched. While his WHIP of 1.236 is a cause for concern, positive regression looms large due to the Angels struggles with making contact.
