Both the Astros and Dodgers are rolling, with Houston winning 8 of its last 10 and L.A. 9 of its last 10. But the key has been pitching, not hitting. Most of their recent games have stayed under the total, and I expect another low-scoring battle here. 

Astros' righty Lance McCullers Jr. has struggled overall, but he’s the kind of competitor who can rise to the occasion in a marquee matchup. Dodgers rookie Ben Casparius has looked sharp through two starts and has quietly logged 56 innings between the bullpen and rotation in 2025. Don’t be surprised if this one stays quiet on the scoreboard. Take the under.

Boston right-hander Lucas Giolito has been sharp, holding three of his last four opponents scoreless, but that could lead to a letdown against a sneaky Nats lineup that's starting to find its rhythm.

Washington's Michael Soroka is coming off one of his best outings of the year, but he's in a tough spot against a Boston offense that's locked in. With both teams producing at the plate, I like the Over in this 4th of July showdown.

Both of these lineups have struggled to generate offense in 2025, and this total appears somewhat inflated based on recent trends. The Orioles have averaged just 3.5 runs per nine innings over their last 10 games, while the Rangers have been even colder at the plate, putting up only 2.6 runs per nine during the same stretch.

Baltimore's Charlie Morton has quietly been dealing. The veteran right-hander has allowed just one run with 17 strikeouts over 11 innings in his last two starts and owns a 4-1 record with a 2.54 ERA in eight career starts against Texas.

Jacob Latz is still getting his feet wet with just two career starts under his belt, but he flashed potential with a season-high seven strikeouts in 3 1/3 innings his last time out.

Given both teams’ offensive struggles and a strong matchup on the mound for Baltimore, I expect this one to stay well under the number.

Chicago White Sox rookie Shane Smith has put together a respectable 2.85 ERA over 14 starts, but that hasn't translated into wins. The Sox are just 4-10 in those games.

Arizona's bats were red hot before Sunday’s 4-2 loss at Coors Field, scoring 28 runs over the previous three games.

The Diamondbacks hand the ball to lefty Eduardo Rodriguez, who has quietly rounded into form. He has allowed only five runs across his last three starts and has a strong track record against Chicago, going 4-0 with a 3.36 ERA in 10 career starts.

With Arizona in better form overall and the White Sox dropping eight of their last 10, this looks like another tough spot for the South Siders.

They had scored five or more runs in three of four games prior, and they’ll face Yankees right-hander Will Warren, who gave up four runs in just 3 1/3 innings in his first career start against Baltimore earlier this season.

The Red Sox have won seven of their last eight, but the offense hasn’t carried the load, scoring three runs or fewer in six of those games. Both starting pitchers will be facing their opponents for the first time, which often works in the pitcher’s favor. I like the under in this one.

Add in the fact that the Dodgers are 25-12 at home while the Padres are just 18-19 on the road, and this sets up as a strong spot for the home team.

Additionally, the Dodgers will have Shohei Ohtani back on the mound tonight! The two-way superstar hasn’t pitched in a major league game since Aug 2023, and you better believe the Dodgers will get him a W in his comeback.

The Chicago White Sox are averaging just 3.5 runs per game this season, and they'll have a tough time improving on that against Mets right-hander Tylor Megill. Megill is coming off a strong performance, striking out 10 over 4 2/3 innings of one-run ball in a 5-1 win against Boston. After a couple of rough outings, he’ll be eager to keep that momentum going against a struggling White Sox lineup.

Chicago counters with Jonathan Cannon, who holds a 3.76 ERA and has consistently kept games low-scoring.

The under has trended well in this spot, with a 10-16-1 mark in White Sox games as road underdogs and an 8-13-2 record in Mets games as home favorites. All signs point to another low-scoring affair at Citi Field.

The San Francisco Giants have been limited to three runs or fewer in six of their last eight games and managed only four in the other two.

On the season, the under is 12-6 in Tigers games when they’re listed as home favorites, a trend that lines up well with the way both teams are currently swinging the bats and the form of the starting pitchers.

The Chicago Cubs are 7-3 over their last 10 games but dropped a 6-4 decision to the Cincinnati Reds on Saturday, and I think they’re in for another tough outing in Sunday’s series finale.

While the Cubs are 6-6 against left-handed starters this season, they’ve had to rely on big offensive outputs to get there.

Reds lefty Nick Lodolo has been sharp lately, racking up 18 strikeouts while allowing just 16 hits over 17 1/3 innings in his last three starts.

On the other side, Cubs right-hander Ben Brown is coming off a rough outing in which he gave up six runs over 4 2/3 innings in a loss to the Marlins.

The edge on the mound gives the Reds value to close out the series strong.

This looks like a good price on the Yankees to close out the sweep of this three-game series. Rangers righty Nathan Eovaldi has been sharp, posting a 1.61 ERA for the season and allowing just two runs over his last five starts, but the Yankees are very familiar with him and he has struggled in matchups in the Bronx throughout his career.

Yankees' left-hander Carlos Rodón has given up just seven runs across his last five outings and dominated Texas last season, allowing one run on four hits with 17 strikeouts over 11 2/3 innings.

Given Eovaldi's strong recent form and Rodón’s dominance against the Rangers, I also like the under.

The Texas Rangers have struggled at the plate all season, and their offensive woes have only worsened in recent games. Yankees left-hander Ryan Yarbrough has been effective in limited action as a starter, allowing just three runs on seven hits over nine innings across two starts.

Meanwhile, Rangers ace Jacob deGrom has been dominant in May, rebounding from a slow start with a 1.50 ERA over three outings and racking up 17 strikeouts in his last two starts.

With both pitchers in form and the Rangers' bats still cold, this matchup points to another low-scoring affair.

The Philadelphia Phillies completed a three-game sweep of the Pittsburgh Pirates with a 1-0 win on Sunday and have now won seven of their last 10 games. That said, they've struggled against left-handed pitching this season, and Rockies southpaw Kyle Freeland has held his own against Philly with a 3.59 ERA over nine career starts.

The problem for the struggling Colorado Rockies is generating offense. They have scored one run or fewer in six of their last 10 games, and now they’ll face Phillies left-hander Cristopher Sanchez, who has been sharp with a 2.91 ERA through eight starts this season.

This has the makings of a low-scoring game, especially with both teams facing lefties and Colorado’s ongoing offensive woes.

He also fared well against the Yankees last season, giving up only one run with eight strikeouts in 4 1/3 innings.

The Giants counter with Landen Roupp (2-3, 4.73 ERA) who has seen the team lost his last three starts after allowing a total of eight runs, but he's been sharper at home and the A's have been held to three runs or fewer in six of their last 10 games.

The Texas Rangers opened the series with a 1-0 win on Thursday, and I expect another low-scoring affair in Game 2 Friday night. Astros right-hander Lance McCullers Jr. was rocked in his last start, giving up seven runs while recording just one out, but he owns a respectable 3.75 ERA over 12 career meetings with the Rangers. Texas counters with Nathan Eovaldi, who has allowed just two runs over his last four starts and carries a stellar 1.78 ERA on the season.

McCullers Jr. should continue to sharpen up with each outing following a long layoff due to arm surgery. The Rangers, now riding a six-game winning streak, have leaned more on dominant pitching than explosive hitting—another reason to expect a tight, low-scoring game.
