This pivotal rubber match features developing right-handers Jack Kochanowicz (3-6, 5.07 ERA) facing Cleveland’s strikeout artist Gavin Williams (4-3, 4.27 ERA). With the Guardians boasting a solid 16-11 home record and clear bullpen advantages, they enter as -172 favorites. Williams’ impressive 10.3 K/9 rate matches perfectly against an Angels lineup ranking 5th in MLB in strikeouts per game. Our analysis points to Cleveland securing the series with a projected 5-2 victory, making Guardians -1.5 (+135) and Under 8.5 runs (-110) particularly attractive betting options. Don’t miss Williams’ strikeout prop (Over 5.5, +105) – the day’s strongest value play against a whiff-prone Los Angeles offense struggling for consistency on the road.

This interleague rubber match features a compelling pitching duel between Red Sox ace Garrett Crochet and Braves right-hander Bryce Elder at Truist Park. With Boston claiming the opener 5-1 before Atlanta responded with a 5-0 shutout, Sunday’s game presents several intriguing betting opportunities worth exploring.

Crochet has been nothing short of dominant this season, boasting a stellar 2.04 ERA with 89 strikeouts across 75 innings, establishing himself as a legitimate AL Cy Young contender. Meanwhile, Elder (4.50 ERA) returns from Triple-A looking to solidify his spot in Atlanta’s rotation despite struggling against left-handed hitters – a potential advantage for Rafael Devers, who’s been carrying Boston’s offense with a .370 batting average and 33 RBIs in May.

Sharp money has pushed the Red Sox from -125 to -135 favorites, while the total has dropped from 8.5 to 8 runs, suggesting professional bettors expect pitching to control this matchup. Our top play features Crochet’s strikeout prop (Over 7.5, +100), offering excellent value against a Braves lineup ranking 18th in K% versus lefties.

Will Crochet’s elite strikeout ability lead Boston to a series victory, or can Atlanta’s strong home record (17-10) propel them to another win? Read our full analysis and betting predictions for this compelling interleague showdown.

The Chicago White Sox (18-40) face the Baltimore Orioles (21-36) in Sunday’s series finale at Camden Yards, where an intriguing pitching contrast offers surprising betting value. Despite both teams struggling this season, Adrian Houser brings his perfect 0.00 ERA to challenge veteran Charlie Morton, who’s laboring with a 7.09 ERA. This stark pitching mismatch creates several attractive betting angles, particularly with the White Sox as underdogs. With Morton allowing 4+ earned runs in 6 of his 10 starts and Chicago’s offense averaging 5.1 runs over their last 8 games, the White Sox run line (+1.5) at -155 offers solid value. The bullpen advantage may also tilt toward Chicago, as Baltimore’s relief corps has been heavily taxed during this series, with closer Félix Bautista likely unavailable after consecutive appearances. White Sox infielder Lenyn Sosa remains a bright spot for Chicago and presents a challenging matchup for the struggling Morton, making this contest potentially more competitive than the standings would suggest.
