Pitching Matchup: Tony Gonsolin (LAD) vs. Cal Quantrill (MIA)
Money Line: Dodgers -260 / Marlins +231
Total: 9 with heavy VIG on the over

Analysis:

Gonsolin returns from injury (Tommy John), having gone 6 IP, 3 ER, 9 K in his last start (also vs. Marlins).
Quantrill allowed 4 ER in 3.2 IP vs. Dodgers in his last outing. Lifetime vs. LAD: 1–7, 8.22 ERA (9 appearances).
Dodgers expected to rake against Quantrill.
Key Player Note: Dodgers’ Tommy Edman on IL (8 HR, 24 RBI pre-injury).
Recommendation: Target Dodgers team total or full game over (9 or 9.5).

Pitching Matchup: Nathan Eovaldi (TEX) vs. Lucas Giolito (BOS)
Money Line: Rangers -116 / Red Sox +105
Total: 9

Eovaldi:

12 IP, 1 ER, 15 K, 1 BB over last two starts
Dominant vs. LAD: 6 IP, 2 ER, 7 K
Former Red Sox pitcher; familiarity with Fenway noted

Giolito:

Coming off injury; throwing only 91 mph
Labeled a liability unless changeup is elite
Red Sox broadcast hyped his return, but skepticism remains

Griffin’s Take:

Rangers suspect on offense (fired hitting coaches, waived Leody Taveras)
Giolito's recent performance isn’t promising
Leans: Red Sox as underdog or over

Munaf’s Bet:

Rangers 1st five innings money line

Pitching Matchup: Zach Wheeler (PHI) vs. Drew Rasmussen (TB)
Money Line: Phillies -116 / Rays +105
Total: 8

Zach Wheeler:

Has allowed 2+ ER in every start after his opener

Drew Rasmussen:

Poor run support; team lost 4 of last 5 starts

Insights:

Phillies offense sluggish early
Both teams may lean on bullpens
Recommended Bet: Under 8 or 1st five under 4

Pitching Matchup: Michael King (SD) vs. Clark Schmidt (NYY)
Money Line: Padres -109 / Yankees -101
Total: 8–8.5

Michael King:

Former Yankee, familiar with stadium
3 ER over last 4 starts; includes CG shutout vs. Rockies

Clark Schmidt:

Moved from weekend start; less favorable matchup
Questionable bullpen support for Yankees

Recommendation:

Munaf’s Best Bet: Padres money line (King’s form and Yankee familiarity)

Pitching Matchup: Andrew Abbott (CIN) vs. Chris Sale (ATL)
Money Line: Braves -212 / Reds +190
Total: 8

Key Points:

Braves offense still underperforming; Acuña out
Chris Sale: Solid at home; 10 K in last start vs. Rockies
Abbott: Recent short starts (4 IP), Reds’ offense weak

Bets Suggested:

Over 8, Braves team total, or 1st 5 over

Pitching Matchup: Justin Verlander (SF) vs. Colin Rea (CHC)
Money Line: Cubs -140 / Giants +127
Total: TBD (pending Wrigley wind)

Verlander:

Last 3 starts: 6 IP each, 4 ER total, 4–6 K per game

Rea:

Career vs. SF: 1–3, 8.57 ERA
Last start vs. SF: 4 IP, 10 ER

Griffin’s View:

Cubs’ offense strong; Pete Crow-Armstrong hot
Giants' bullpen more reliable

Pick: Giants money line +127 (Verlander advantage)

Pitching Matchup: Sean Burke (CWS) vs. Seth Lugo (KC)
Money Line: Royals -220 / White Sox +197
Total: 8.5
