    Picked: Jun 2 @ 7:59am

    Analysis

    The Rays have looked a bit mortal of late and lost at home to the Tigers on Monday but at least largely reset the key members of the bullpen. Detroit used about every reliever it has and starts the mega-terrible Jack Flaherty (0-7, 5.81 ERA) on the mound tonight. He has been the biggest money-losing pitcher in the Junior Circuit. The Tigers last won a Flaherty start on Tax Day. Lefty Steven Matz (4-2, 4.67 ERA) isn't my favorite Rays starting pitcher, but the Tigers are 6-14 vs. southpaws.

    First 5 Innings Moneyline
    Picked: Jun 2 @ 9:37am

    Analysis

    I like the price on the home team here up against winless Jack Flaherty. Steven Matz is coming off a bad game versus Baltimore and has similar numbers to Flaherty, but I trust the Rays bats in this one, especially at home. The Tigers have been bad on the road and bad against lefties. I do think Steven Matz will make some mistakes, but I trust the Rays offense just enough to lay the -130 (best price at DK).

    Pitcher to Record a Win
    Picked: Jun 2 @ 10:00am

    Analysis

    Cam Schlittler (7-2, 1.50 ERA) has a great opportunity to notch his eighth win. Visiting Cleveland has not scored more than four runs in its last 12 games. The Yankees should grab a lead against Guardians lefty Joey Cantillo; they lead MLB with an .806 OPS against southpaws. The Guardians have never seen Schlittler, who has gone six-plus innings in seven of his last eight starts.

    Pitcher Strikeouts
    Picked: Jun 2 @ 8:18am

    Analysis

    FanDuel. After two dominant outings to start the season, Kevin Gausman has remained under this strikeout line in nine of his last ten starts. Overall, he’s under this total in 5/5 road starts where his strikeout rate drops to 16%. The Braves own the seventh lowest K% against righties this season (20.5%), and have been even better over the last two weeks at 18%.

    -180
    Money Line
    Picked: Jun 1 @ 10:31pm

    Analysis

    Pretty much the same rules as always apply (-1 or not bat B9 are solid cheaper alternatives) at a ML price like this, but the Brewers easily cashed Monday in a blowout win and have a much better pitching matchup in their favor Tuesday with lefty Kyle Harrison opposed by Trevor McDonald. Harrison (6-1, 1.57 ERA) was once a touted SF prospect who was traded to Boston about a year ago this time and then rerouted this offseason in a Brewers steal. Harrison should be getting more talk for the NL Cy Young and surely will be fired up to face his former organization for the first time. The Giants' Trevor McDonald (2-2, 4.34) has lost back-to-back starts. SF is 11-21 away.
