Miami Marlins vs Los Angeles Dodgers (10:10pm, EST)

Chris Paddack Over 5.5 Hits Allowed (-130) at BetMGM Sportsbook

Since the start of the regular season, Chris Paddack has been unable to find his footing as the Miami Marlins pitcher is currently averaging an ERA of 6.38, a WHIP of 1.542, and a FIP of 4.65.

Paddack’s struggles on the mound can be attributed to his lack of command and inability to avoid contact, generating over one Hit Against per Inning Pitched.

Unfortunately for Paddack, his struggles on the mound are poised to persist against the Los Angeles Dodgers, facing off against a lineup who resides near the top of the board in Contact Rate, RBIs, Runs Scored, On Base Percentage, and in OPS.

Especially with his back end struggling to limit the amount of variance in his starts with their coverage, ranking 28th in Fielding Percentage.

Chris Paddack Under 14.5 Outs (+121) at Caesars Sportsbook

With the Dodgers stringing together their Hits and getting into scoring position at a high rate, the length of Paddack’s leash will drastically shrink, resulting in an early exit.

While it’s normally wise to avoid being on the opposite end of a key number, it’s hard to ignore the Dodgers advantages on offense, making Paddack’s Outs prop worth a wager at the current total of 14.5.

New York Yankees vs Texas Rangers (8:05pm, EST)

Max Fried Over 5.5 Strikeouts (-121) at Caesars Sportsbook

In just his second year with the New York Yankees, Max Fried has been able to elevate his level of play, kicking off his 2026 campaign with an ERA of 2.40 and a WHIP of 0.774.

Even though Fried generates Strikeouts at a low rate, he is able to mask it by consistently putting opposing batters in poor contact situations, averaging less than one Hit Against per inning. 

In a favorable matchup against the Texas Rangers, positive regression looms large over Fried in regard to creating Whiffs, facing off against a lineup who ranks below league average in Contact Rate, On Base Percentage, and in Strikeout Rate.

For some more exposure, escalator bet Fried’s Strikeout prop by placing smaller wagers on his alternate overs at the best available odds across multiple sportsbooks.

Andrew McCutchen Under 0.5 Hit (+118) at FanDuel Sportsbook

Andrew McCutchen’s cold stretch of play has played a major role in the Rangers regression on offense, averaging less than 0.5 Hit per game, a .216 Batting Average, and a .619 OPS.

With Fried excelling at avoiding contact while attacking the strikezone, expect McCutchen to continue to struggle with barreling up the ball and be held without a Hit against the Yankees AL Cy Young contender.

St. Louis Cardinals vs Pittsburgh Pirates (6:40pm, EST)

Pittsburgh Pirates Team Total Over 3.5 (-150) at BetMGM Sportsbook

After going 5-5 in their last ten games, the Pittsburgh Pirates have stumbled down the NL Central division standings, plummeting to third while two games back from the Cincinnati Reds for first.

Even during their recent struggles, their offense has still been able to play at a high level, ranking above league average in Hit Rate, On Base Percentage, and in OPS.

Heading into Monday night, expect the Pittsburgh Pirates to get back in the win column by taking advantage of the St. Louis Cardinals Dustin May who is currently averaging 5.84 and a WHIP of 1.541.

Especially with his back end giving him minimal support with their coverage which widens the width of the Pirates gaps in the outfield, surrounding May with a group who ranks just league average in Adjusted Defensive Rating.
