A pair of lefties meetup at Petco Park Monday night when Alex Wood and the San Francisco Giants travel south to play the San Diego Padres and Blake Snell. The Pads come in as heavy -181 favorites. Get our SF/SD bet recommendation here!

One has to wonder how much gas the Pirates will have in their tanks Monday after coming off a big emotional win where they thumped the Orioles last night, had to catch a plane and show up in Arizona for a game the next day. They’ll face a tough hombre on the mound in Zac Gallen. Get our Pit/AZ betting prediction here!

How Justin Dunn will pitch in his first game back off the DL is anybody’s guess, but one thing is for sure; The young righty is really up against it Monday at Citi Field vs. Chris Bassitt who has allowed 2 earned runs or less in four of his last 5 starts and vs. a Mets team hitting on all cylinders, winners of 11 of their last 12 games.

Yusei Kikuchi has pitched poorly in four out of the five months of the MLB season. Jordan Lyles has run hot and cold and is lucky to have a job in baseball. We could see a two-way offensive explosion at Camden Yards Monday with close to ideal hitting conditions. Get our Tor/Bal pick here!

Sunday’s Braves vs. Mets game features the best pitching matchup of the day in Spencer Strider vs. Jacob deGrom. Literally one run could win this game! Who gets the mone? Get our ATL/NYM betting prediction here!

Kutter Crawford has allowed one earned run or less in four of his last six starts. Conversely, Brad Keller, who looked promising earlier this season, has turned into a gas can over his last three starts, allowing 15 runs in 15.2 innings. Get our Bos/KC bet recommendation here!

Pirates pitcher Bryse Wilson has put together some decent stretches as of late, but overall, has really only had two good outings this season. It’s not likely that he’ll turn it around Sunday at Camden Yards, as he’s up against an Orioles team that is starting to realize their potential. The O’s have won five in a row and seven of their last nine games. Get our Pit/Bal pick here!

The Houston Astros and Cleveland Guardians kick off a full Sunday of MLB action when Cristian Javier and Triston McKenzie go at it at Progressive Field. Neither pitcher has thrown well as of late. Who gets the money today? Get our Hou/Cle prediction here!

Runs could be at a premium Saturday night at T-Mobil Park as the Angels will send Reid Detmers to the hill to face Mariners right-hander George Kirby. Detmers has only allowed 3 earned runs over his last 24 innings. Kirby has also enjoyed a tidy 2.21 ERA over his last 20.1 innings. Get our LA/Sea pick here!

Domingo German makes only his third start of the year for the Yankees Saturday, while ex-Yankee Jordan Montgomery takes the mound for the St. Louis Cardinals. The former Yank has allowed a hefty 8 earned runs in his last 6.1 innings. Get our NYY/Stl wager recommendation here!
