Los Angeles Dodgers vs Colorado Rockies (3:10pm, EST)

Chase Dollander Under 3.5 Strikeouts: (-122) at FanDuel Sportsbook

Even while battling through injuries, the Los Angeles Dodgers have managed to sustain their high level of play on offense as their lineup ranks near the top of the board in Contact Rate, RBIs, Total Runs Scored, On Base Percentage, and in Slugger Percentage. While their Strikeout Rate is alarmingly high, the Dodgers make up for it with their discipline at the plate as they also rank top-2 in Bases on Walks.

In a divisional matchup against Colorado, expect the Dodgers to generate Hits at a high rate as they face off against Chase Dollander who has struggled with avoiding contact. In his 17 starts, Dollander is averaging a FIP of 5.53 and more than one Hit Allowed per Inning Pitched. For some more exposure, escalator bet Dollander’s Strikeout prop by placing smaller wagers on his alternate unders.

Los Angeles Dodgers First Five Innings Run Line -1.5: (-104) at FanDuel Sportsbook

Not only has Dollander struggled with his command, but he is also surrounded by a severely underwhelming back end as the Rockies defense ranks dead last in Defensive Efficiency and in Fielding Percentage. Their low level of play brings in a higher amount of contact variance in Dollander’s starts which drastically increases the Dodgers chances of consistently getting into scoring position.

Boston Red Sox vs New York Yankees (7:15pm, EST)

Boston Red Sox Team Total Over 3.5: (-130) at BetMGM Sportsbook

Since returning from injury, Luis Gil has struggled to find his footing as the New York Yankees pitcher is averaging an ERA of 5.14 and a WHIP of 1.643. While Gil has been able to generate Strikeouts at a competitive rate, his aggression has left him prone to underwhelming outings as he also averages more than one Hit Against per Inning Pitched.

Unfortunately for Gil, his struggles with avoiding contact are poised to persist as he faces off against the Boston Red Sox who rank above league average in Team Total Hits and in On Base Percentage. Especially with his back end struggling in coverage over the past few weeks of play as the Yankees defense continues to fall down the board in Fielding Percentage.

Alex Bregman to Record 2+ Hits: (+300) at FanDuel Sportsbook

With Luis Gil aggressively attacking the strike zone, Alex Bregman has the opportunity to put together a dominant performance by stringing together his Hits. Bregman has been a force at the plate this season as the Red Sox batter is averaging over one Hit per game, a .298 Batting Average, and .917 OPS. Factor in the Yankees regression on defense and Bregman will be in a favorable position to cash this prop.

Houston Astros vs Baltimore Orioles (7:15pm, EST)

Houston Astros First Five Innings Team Total Over 2.5: (+115) at BetMGM Sportsbook

After a slow start to the year, the Houston Astros offense have managed to hit their stride as their lineup enters the final stretch of the season ranked above league average in Contact Rate and in Slugger Percentage. Even though their scoring metrics are still underwhelming, the Astros get on base at a high rate as they also rank sixth overall in On Base Percentage.

In Thursday night’s contest against Baltimore, expect the Astros to capitalize on their scoring opportunities as they face off against the Orioles Brandon Young who has severely underwhelmed on the mound this season. As of writing, Young is averaging an ERA of 5.68, a FIP of 4.99, a WHIP of 1.490, and less than one Strikeout per Inning Pitched.
