At 4:10 PM EST on Sunday, we will be playing Over the Total in the game between the Milwaukee Brewers (911) and the Arizona Diamondbacks (912) listing both starting pitchers Chase Anderson and Robbie Ray. Arizona (37-26) has won four of their last five games with their 3-2 victory over the Brewers yesterday. The Diamondbacks have then played 4 straight games Over the Total after a victory. Additionally, the Over is 23-9-2 in Arizona’s last 34 games against teams with a winning record. Furthermore, the Over is a decisive 50-22-3 in the Diamondbacks’ last 75 games at home — and that includes playing twenty of their last twenty-seven home games Over the Total with the number set in the 8.5-10 range. They send out Ray who is 6-3 with a 2.85 ERA and a 1.07 WHIP. The right-hander has allowed only one earned run in his last 30 1/3 innings of work — but the deeper sabermetrics call for regression. Both Ray’s SIERA and xFIP project an ERA of 3.48 and 3.44 respectively moving forward. Ray has also not been as effective at home where he has a 5.67 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and .250 opponent’s batting average in six starts as compared to his microscopic 0.64 ERA along with a 0.76 WHIP and .134 opponent’s batting average in six starts on the road. The Diamondbacks have played 16 of their last 21 road games Over the Total with Ray on there mound. That bodes for trouble when facing this Brewers team that has played 13 of their last 16 road games Over the Total against right-handed starting pitchers.

Milwaukee (33-29) has played 15 of their last 20 road games Over the Total when looking to avenge a loss by just one run. The Brewers have also played 8 of their last 11 road games Over the Total when facing a team with a winning record. And in their last 46 games as an underdog, Milwaukee has played 28 of these games Over the Total. They counter with Chase Anderson who is 5-1 with a 2.94 ERA and a 1.22 WHIP this season. The right-hander enters this game with a scoreless innings streak of 21 2/3rds. But given Anderson’s 4.30 SIERA and 4.33 xFIP, expect regression in his performances. Furthermore, Anderson has struggled on the road where he has a 4.36 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and .266 opponent’s batting average in six starts as compared to his 1.69 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and .218 opponent’s batting average in six starts at home. The Over is 7-2-1 in the Brewers last 10 road games against teams with a winning record. Lastly, the Diamondbacks have played 4 of their last 5 games Over the Total against right-handed starting pitchers. 25* MLB Pre-All Star Break National League Total of the Year with Over the Total in the game between the Milwaukee Brewers (911) and the Arizona Diamondbacks (912) listing both starting pitchers Chase Anderson and Robbie Ray.

At 8:15 PM EST on Friday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Cleveland Indians (973) and the Kansas City Royals (974) listing both starting pitchers Josh Tomlin and Jason Vargas. Cleveland (28-24) has won four of their last five games with their 8-0 victory over the A’s yesterday. The Under is then 26-10-2 in the Indians’ lat 38 games after a victory. The Under is also 17-6-3 in Cleveland’s last 26 games after scoring at least five runs in their last game. And in their last 10 road games against teams with a losing record, the Under is 7-2-1. They send out Tomlin who is 3-6 with a 5.79 ERA and a 1.30 WHIP this season. The deeper sabermetrics project better times for the right-hander with both his SIERA and xFIP projecting an ERA of 4.04 and 3.75 respectively moving forward. Tomlin has been more effective on the road where he owns a strong 1.13 WHIP as compared to his 1.44 WHIP along with a 6.19 ERA and an opponent’s batting average of .321 when pitching at home. These disparate home/road splits are consistent with last season where Tomlin had a 4.31 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and .257 opponent’s batting average on the road as compared to his 4.50 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and .283 opponent’s batting average when at home. The Under is 6-1-2 in the Indians’ last 9 games on the road. He should fare well against this Royals’ team that has played 8 of their last 10 home games Under the Total against right-handed starting pitchers. Tomlin also loves to pitch against Kansas City — he is 10-4 with a 3.94 ERA in 23 career appearances which includes 19 starts against the Royals.

Kansas City (22-30) has lost three of their last four games with their 6-5 loss to the Tigers on Wednesday. The Royals have then played 5 of their last 7 games Under the Total after scoring at least five runs in their last game. The Under is also 15-5-1 in KC’s last 221 home games against teams with a winning record. They counter with Jason Vargas who is 6-3 with a 2.39 ERA and a 1.13 WHIP in ten starts this season. The left-hander has been even better at home where he owns a 2.05 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and .212 opponent’s batting average in five starts as compared to his 2.73 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and .257 opponent’s batting average on the road. Kansas City has played 8 of their last 9 home games Under the Total with Vargas on the mound — and that includes playing five of their last six games Under the Total against teams with a winning record in those circumstances. He should fare well against this Indians team that has played 7 of their last 10 games Under the Total against teams using a starting pitcher with a WHIP no higher than 1.10. The Under is also 19-7-1 in Cleveland’s last 28 games against left-handed starting pitchers. Together, these team trends produce our specific 120-39-10 combined angle for this situation. 25* MLB Pre-All Star Break American League Central Total of the Year with Under the Total in the game between the Cleveland Indians (973) and the Kansas City Royals (974) listing both starting pitchers Josh Tomlin and Jason Vargas.

At 7:05 PM EST on Friday, we will be playing Over the Total in the game between the New York Mets (903) and the Pittsburgh Pirates (904) listing both starting pitchers Jacob DeGrom and Chad Kuhl. Pittsburgh (22-26) has seen their bats awaken over the last two games as they have scored 21 runs over that span while belting six home runs in their four-game series against the Braves. The Pirates have won two straight games with their 9-4 win in Atlanta last night. Pittsburgh has then seen the Over go 9-4-2 in their last 15 games after a victory. The Over is also 5-1-1 in the Pirates’ last 7 games after scoring at least five runs in their last contest. And in their last 9 home games against teams with a losing record on the road, the Over is 6-2-1. They send out Kuhl who is 1-4 with a 5.85 ERA and a 1.60 WHIP in nine starts this season. The right-hander has been hit hard in his five starts home this year where he has been saddled with an 8.20 ERA, 2.09 WHIP and .329 opponent’s batting average as compared to his solid 3.80 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and .259 opponent’s batting average when on the road. These disparate home/road splits are entirely consistent with last season where Kuhl had a 7.03 ERA, 1.93 WHIP and .330 opponent’s batting average at home but a strong 2.72 ERA, 0.99 WHIP and .231 opponent’s batting average when on the road. The Pirates have played 8 of their last 11 home games Over the Total with Kuhl on the mound.

New York (19-26) enters this series have lost two straight games with their 4-3 loss to the Padres last night. The Over is then 19-6-4 in the Mets’ last 29 games after a loss. The Over is also 9-1-2 in the opening games of a new series. Additionally, the over is 22-8-2 in New York’s last 32 games against teams with a losing record. And in their last 18 games on the road, the Over is 13-3-2. They counter with DeGrom who is 3-1 with a 3.56 ERA and a 1.31 WHIP in nine starts this season. The right-hander has not been as effective in his five starts on the road where he has a 4.65 ERA along with a 1.35 WHIP and an opponent’s batting average of .262 as compared to his 2.19 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and .202 opponent’s batting average when at home. These disparate home/road split stats are consistent with last year where DeGrom had a 4.16 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and an opponent’s batting average of .312 on the road as compared to his 2.11 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and .201 opponent’s batting average when at home. The Mets have played 4 straight road games Over the Total with DeGrom on the mound. Furthermore, the Over is 11-5-3 in New York’s last 19 home games against right-handed starting pitchers. 25* MLB National League Total of the Month with Over the Total in the game between the New York Mets (903) and the Pittsburgh Pirates (904) listing both starting pitchers Jacob DeGrom and Chad Kuhl.

At 3:35 PM EST on Wednesday, we will be playing Over the Total in the game between the Miami Marlins (923) and the Oakland A’s (924) listing both starting pitchers Edison Volquez and Sonny Gray. Miami (16-28) opened this series with a 10-8 victory over the A’s last night. The Marlins have then seen the Over go 4-0-1 in their last 5 games after scoring at least five runs in their last game — and they have seen the Over go 3-0-1 in their last 4 games after allowing at least five runs in their last contest. The Over is also 18-7-2 in Miami’s last 27 road games against teams with a winning percentage over 60% at home. And in their last 15 road games against American League opponents, the Marlins have played 12 of these games Over the Total. They send out Volquez who is 0–6 with a 4.87 ERA and a 1.70 WHIP this season. The right-hander has been less effective on the road in five starts where he has a 5.26 ERA and a rough opponent’s batting average of .303 as compared to his 4.20 ERA and .222 opponent’s batting average in three starts at home this season. These disparate home/road split stats are consistent with last year where Volquez had an uninspiring 5.11 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and .285 opponent’s batting average at home with all those numbers even worse on the road to a 5.71 ERA, 1.65 WHIP and .287 opponent’s batting average. That does not bode well when facing this Oakland team that has played 6 of their last 7 games Over the Total against teams using a starting pitcher with a WHIP of 1.30 or higher. Furthermore, the A’s have played 6 of their last 7 games Over the Total against right-handed starting pitchers.

Oakland (20-25) has lost two straight games — and they have played 10 of their last 11 games Over the Total after a loss. The A’s have also played 5 of their last 6 games Over the Total after allowing at least five runs in their last game. Oakland has also played 4 of their last 5 games Over the Total on their home field. They counter with Sonny Gray who is 1-1 with a 3.97 ERA and a 1.24 WHIP this season. The right-hander has not been as effective at home where he has a 1.31 WHIP and .262 opponent’s batting average as compared to his 1.17 WHIP and .222 opponent’s batting average when on the road. Last season, Gray had a 5.80 ERA and .295 opponent’s batting average at home as compared to his more modest 5.57 ERA and .275 opponent’s batting average when on the road. The A’s have played 5 of their last 6 games Over the Total with Gray on the mound. And while Gray comes off a technical Quality Start where he allowed three earned runs in 6 innings of work at home against the Red Sox, Oakland has seen the Over go 12-3-1 in their last 16 games with Gray looking to follow up a Quality Start. Lastly, the Over is 18-5-5 in the Marlins’ last 28 games on the road against right-handed starting pitchers. 25* MLB Getaway Game Total of the Month with Over the Total in the game between the Miami Marlins (923) and the Oakland A’s (924) listing both starting pitchers Edison Volquez and Sonny Gray.

At 8:05 PM EST on Sunday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Texas Rangers (965) and the Detroit Tigers (966) listing both starting pitchers Yu Darvish and Matthew Boyd. Detroit (21-20) closes out this series tonight after their 9-3 win over the Rangers in the second game of this series. The Tigers have then played 8 of their last 10 games Under the Total after a victory. Detroit has also played 4 of their last 5 games Under the Total after scoring at least five runs in their last game. And in their last 26 home games against teams with a winning percentage below 40% on the road, the Under is 18-5-3. They send out Boyd who is 2-3 with a 5.18 ERA and a 1.61 WHIP this season. The left-hander is looking to redeem himself from a bad outing where he allowed seven earned runs in 2 1/3 innings of work against the Orioles on Tuesday. Boyd has been respectable at home where he has a 1.30 WHIP and an opponent’s batting average of .241 — it is on the road where he has really struggled with a 1.98 WHIP and an opponent’s batting average of .329. Detroit has played 4 of their last 5 games Under the Total with Boyd pitching with four days of rest. He should pitch better tonight against this Rangers team that has played 4 straight games Under the Total against left-handed starting pitchers.

Texas (23-21) counters with Yu Darvish who is 4-2 with a 2.76 ERA and a 1.09 WHIP in nine starts this season. The right-hander has been more effective on the road where he has a 2.23 ERA as compared to a 2.97 ERA when at home. Those results are consistent with last season where Darvish had a 2.28 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and .185 opponent’s batting average on the road as compared to his 4.26 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and .235 opponent’s batting average when at home. The Under is 4-1-2 in the Rangers’ last 7 games on the road with Darvish facing a team with a winning record. The Under is also a decisive 49-27-10 in Texas’ last 86 games with Darvish on the mound with the Total set in the 7-8.5 range. Lastly, while the Tigers have an unappealing 5.31 ERA from their bullpen this season, Texas has played 12 of their last 16 games Under the Total against teams with a bullpen ERA of 4.20 or higher. 25* MLB Sunday Night ESPN Total of the Month with Under the Total in the game between the Texas Rangers (965) and the Detroit Tigers (966) listing both starting pitchers Yu Darvish and Matthew Boyd.

At 7:30 PM EST on Thursday, we will be playing Over the Total in the game between the Toronto Blue Jays (919) and the Atlanta Braves (920) listing both starting pitchers Marcus Stroman and Julio Teheran. Atlanta (16-21) has won three straight games — as well as five of their last six — with their 8-4 win versus the Blue Jays in the first game in Atlanta of this two-game home-and-home series with Toronto. The Braves have then played 5 of their last 6 games Over the Total after scoring at least five runs in their last game. The Over is also 20-7-1 in Atlanta’s last 28 home games against teams with a losing record. And in their last 5 games in Interleague play, the Braves have played 4 of these games Over the Total. The team received bad news this afternoon with the announcement that Freddie Freeman would miss 8-12 weeks after being beaned in the wrist last night in this heated series. But this team will need to score runs tonight with Julio Teheran taking the hill after surrendering six home runs, 22 hits and seven bases-on-balls in his last three starts in Atlanta. For the season, the right-hander is 3-3 with a 4.08 ERA and a 1.42 WHIP this year — but he sees those numbers explode at home with an 8.14 ERA, 1.86 WHIP and an opponent’s batting average of .310 in four starts. The Braves have played 8 of their last 11 home games Over the Total with Teheran on the hill. That is not a good sign against this Toronto team that has played 5 of their last 6 games Over the Total against right-handed starting pitchers. The Blue Jays have also played 4 of their last 5 games Over the Total against teams using a starting pitcher with a WHIP of 1.30 or higher.

Toronto (17-24) has allowed 27 runs while losing three straight games. The Blue Jays have then played 5 of their last 6 games Over the Total after a loss. Toronto has also played 8 of their last 10 games Over the Total on the road. They counter with Marcus Stroman who is 3-2 with a 3.33 ERA and a 1.38 WHIP this season. The right-hander has not quite been as good on the road where he has a 3.44 ERA as compared to his 3.27 ERA when at home. This is consistent with last season where Stroman had a 1.26 WHIP and .259 opponent’s batting average at home but saw those numbers rise to a 1.32 WHIP and .269 opponent’s batting average on the road. Stroman comes off a nice outing where he allowed two runs at home in 6 innings against the Mariners — but the Blue Jays have then played 4 straight games Over the Total with Stroman looking to follow up a Quality Start. The Braves have played 6 of their last 7 home games Over the Total against right-handed starting pitchers. And in their last 40 games against teams using a starting pitcher with a WHIP of 1.30 or higher, the Over is 27-10-3. 25* MLB Total of the Month with Over the Total in the game between the Toronto Blue Jays (919) and the Atlanta Braves (920) listing both starting pitchers Marcus Stroman and Julio Teheran.

At 7:10 PM EST on Saturday, we will be playing Over the Total in the game between the Miami Marlins (907) and the New York Mets (908) listing both starting pitchers Odrisamer Despaigne and Robert Gsellman. New York (13-15) has won five of their last seven games with their 8-7 win last night in the opening game of this series. The Over is 4-0-1 in the Mets’ last 5 games after a win — and the Over is a decisive 9-1-1 in their last 11 games after scoring at least five runs in their last contest. And in their last 32 games after allowing at least five runs, the Over is 21-8-3. Additionally, the Over is 16-5-2 in New York’s last 23 games at home — and they have played thirteen of their last sixteen games Over the Total at home against teams with a losing record. Furthermore, the Over is 19-4-3 in the Mets’ last 27 games against fellow NL East opponents. They send out Gsellman who is 1-2 with a 6.75 ERA and a 1.65 WHIP this season. The right-hander has not been as effective at home so far as he owns a 1.76 WHIP and .329 opponent’s batting average in three starts at home as compared to his 1.15 WHIP and .263 opponent’s batting average when on the road. The Mets have played 5 straight home games Over the Total with Gsellman on the mound. Miami has played 6 of their last 8 games Over the Total against teams using a starting pitcher with a WHIP of 1.30 or higher. The Marlins have also seen the Over go 17-5-4 in their last 26 road games against right-handed starting pitchers.

Miami (12-16) has now lost four of their last five games — and the Over is now 8-3-1 in their last 12 games against NL East opponents. The Over is also 6-2-1 in the Marlins’ last 9 games on the road. And in Miami’s last 16 road games against teams with a winning percentage over 60% at home, the Marlins have played 13 of these games Over the Total. They called up Odrisamer Despaigne from Triple-A for the injured Wei-Yin Chen. Despaigne had 0-2 record with a 5.93 ERA and 1.71 WHIP in 30 1/3 innings last season all in relief. The Padres tried him as a starting pitcher in 2014 and 2015 before giving up on the right-handed. In 2015, Despaigne had a 6.90 ERA, 1.55 WHIP and .315 opponent’s batting average when on the road. Last year in relief, Despaigne had a 6.61 ERA, 1.90 WHIP and .323 opponent’s batting average when away from home. Too many walks and not enough strikeouts is the rap on Despaigne — and his 13 bases-on-balls with only 9 Ks in 17 2/3 innings of work in the minors this season does not inspire confidence that either issue has improved. The Over is 14-4-3 in the Mets’ last 21 games against a right-handed starting pitchers. Lastly, the Over is 4-0-1 in the last 5 meetings between these two teams when playing in New York. 25* MLB National League East Total of the Month with Over the Total in the game between the Miami Marlins (907) and the New York Mets (908) listing both starting pitchers Odrisamer Despaigne and Robert Gsellman.

At 8:10 PM EST on Saturday, we will be playing Over the Total in the game between the Colorado Rockies (959) and the Arizona Diamondbacks (960) listing both starting pitchers Tyler Anderson and Zack Greinke. Colorado (15-9) won the opening game of this series last night by a 3-1 score. The Rockies have now played 4 of their last 5 games Over the Total against teams with a winning record. They send out Anderson who is 1-3 with a 7.11 ERA and a 1.50 WHIP in five starts this season. Zero of these five starts qualified as Qualified Starts for Anderson as his lack of an effective breaking pitch has significantly reduced his reliability. Last season, the left-hander had a 5-6 record with a 3.54 ERA and a 1.29 WHIP — but those numbers rose to a 4.71 ERA and a 1.35 WHIP when on the road. The Rockies have played 4 of their last 5 games Over the Total with Anderson pitching with four days rest as he does tonight. That is not a good sign when facing this Diamondbacks team that has seen the Over 20-7-2 in their last 29 home games against a left-handed starting pitcher.

Arizona (15-10) has played 4 of their last 5 games Over the Total after scoring two runs or less in their last game. The Diamondbacks have also seen the Over go a decisive 40-14-2 in their last 56 games at home. And in their last 8 home games against teams with a winning percentage over 60% on the road, the Over is 5-1-2. They counter with Zack Greinke who is 2-2 with a 2.93 ERA and a 1.17 WHIP this season. The right-hander allowed just one earned run in 6 innings of work in his last start against the Padres. That was the second straight start Greinke got to enjoy against the weak-hitting San Diego team. His ERA was 4.32 this season before those last two outings. Additionally, the Padres have played 7 of their last 9 games Over the Total with Greinke on the mound looking to follow up a Quality Start. Lastly, the Rockies have played 4 of their last 5 games Over the Total against teams using a right-handed starting pitchers. 25* MLB National League West Total of the Month with Over the Total in the game between the Colorado Rockies (959) and the Arizona Diamondbacks (960) listing both starting pitchers Tyler Anderson and Zack Greinke.

At 4:05 PM EST on Saturday, we will be playing Over the Total in the game between the Chicago Cubs (979) and the Boston Red Sox (980) listing both starting pitchers John Lackey and Steven Wright. Chicago (12-10) looks to bounce-back from a 5-4 loss to the Red Sox last night. The Cubs have then played 4 straight games Over the Total after a loss. Chicago has also played 7 straight games Over the Total after allowing at least five runs in their last game. The Cubbies have also played 5 of their last 6 road games Over the Total against teams with a winning record. They send out Lackey who is 1-3 with a 4.88 ERA and a 1.29 WHIP this season. There were signs last season that the 38-year old was about to experience some series regression in his effectiveness. His 34.4% hard contact rate last season was the worst of his career. Lackey was not as effective on the road last year where he had a 4.37 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and .234 opponent’s batting average as compared to his 2.62 ERA, 0.99 WHIP and .206 opponent’s batting average at home at Wrigley Field. This season, Lackey has a rough 6.00 ERA and 1.33 WHIP when on the road. Chicago has played 5 straight road games Over the Total with Lackey on the hill.

Boston (12-10) has played 4 of their last 5 games Over the Total in Interleague games against teams with a winning record. They counter with Steven Wright who is 1-2 with an 8.66 ERA and 2.09 WHIP this season. The knuckleballer has simply not been the same since banging up his shoulder after the ill-advised decision was made last September to insert him as a pinch-runner. The right-hander has already served up seven gopher balls. Wright has also been rocked at home in Fenway Park given his 11.05 ERA, 2.45 WHIP and an stunning opponent’s batting average of .447. Wright was not as effective at home last season where he had a 4.54 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and .266 opponent’s batting average as compared to his 2.09 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and .200 opponent’s batting average when on the road. The Red Sox have seen the Over go 7-0-1 in their last 8 home games with Wright facing a team with a winning record. Boston has also played 4 straight games Over the Total with Wright facing team from the National League. Lastly, the Cubs have played 6 of their last 7 games Over the Total against right-handed starting pitchers. 25* MLB Total of the Month with Over the Total in the game between the Over the Total in the game between the Chicago Cubs (979) and the Boston Red Sox (980) listing both starting pitchers John Lackey and Steven Wright.

At 7:10 PM EST on Tuesday, we will be playing Over the Total in the game between the Seattle Mariners (971) and the Detroit Tigers (972) listing both starting pitchers Felix Hernandez and Jordan Zimmermann. Seattle (8-12) enters this series coming off an 11-1 win at Oakland on Sunday which was a nice win for Mariners’ bettors who were getting +115 on the money line. The Mariners have then played 20 of their last 29 games Over the Total after an upset win over a divisional rival. Seattle has also played 13 of their last 18 road games Over the Total against teams with a winning record. They send out Hernandez who is 2-1 with a 3.65 ERA and a 1.38 WHIP so far this season. The aging right-hander has seen his effectiveness drop as he has been losing velocity. His 3.8 walk rate per 9 innings was the worst of his career. The King was not as effective on the road last year where he was saddled with a 1.49 WHIP and .253 opponent’s batting average as compared to his 1.19 WHIP and .228 opponent’s batting average when at home. This season, Hernandez has a 4.09 ERA along with a dangerous .333 opponent’s batting average when on the road. The Mariners have played 5 straight road games Over the Total against teams with a winning record. Seattle has also seen the Over go 3-1-1 in their last 5 games in Detroit with Hernandez on the mound. That spells trouble when facing this Tigers’ team that has seen the Over go 9-1-1 in their last 11 home games against right-handed starting pitchers.

Detroit (10-8) has won two straight games after their 13-4 win at Minnesota on Sunday. The Tigers may have a depleted lineup right now due to a handful of injuries — but they have also played 5 of their last 6 games Over the Total after scoring at least five runs in their last game. Detroit has also played 9 of their last 13 games Over the Total at home. They send out Jordan Zimmermann who is 1-1 with a 5.94 ERA and a 1.50 WHIP this season. The right-hander saw a big dig in his velocity rate last season which may have coincided with a neck injury that sidelined him for most of last season. In 16 2/3 innings of work have resulted in just 10 Ks which is not a good sign regarding him getting back to the form he had with the Nationals before coming over to the American League. Zimmermann also had a rough 7.00 ERA along with a 1.52 WHIP and .305 opponent’s batting average when at home last season. The Over is 7-1-1 in Detroit’s last 9 home games with Zimmermann on the mound. Lastly, the Mariners have played 4 of their last 5 games on the road Over the Total against right-handed starting pitchers. 25* MLB American League Total of the Month with Over the Total in the game between the Seattle Mariners (971) and the Detroit Tigers (972) listing both starting pitchers Felix Hernandez and Jordan Zimmermann.

At 8:05 PM EST on Sunday, we will be playing Over the Total in the game between the Washington Nationals (963) and the New York Mets (964) listing both starting pitchers Max Scherzer and Zack Wheeler. Washington (12-5) has won six straight games after their 3-1 win over the Mets yesterday. The Nationals have then played 12 of their last 14 games Over the Total against an opponent that failed to score more than two runs in their last game. The Over is also 8-2-1 in Washington’s last 11 games after allowing two runs or less in their last game.

* SIERA and xFIP: Skill-Interactive Earned Run Average is a metric developed by Baseball Prospectus. They define SIERA as an estimate ERA through walk rate, strikeout rate and ground ball rate, eliminating the effects of park, defense and luck. SIERA accounts for how run prevention improves as ground ball rate increases and declines as more whiffs are accrued, while grounders are of more materiality for those who allow a surplus of runners. xFIP: Expected Fielding Independent Pitching was developed by The Hardball Times to measure what a pitcher's ERA should like assuming that defensive performance on balls in play was the league average; it differs from the FIP metric in that actual home runs allowed is replaced by expected home runs allowed given a pitcher's fly ball rate.
