2 Picks (8 Units).

6:45PM EST: Giants ML +110 (5 Units).

SF SP Landen Roupp has a 3.6 ERA and 2.12 xERA. He allowed just 1 run on 6 IP in his most recent outing. His 14.8% Hard-Hit Rate currently leads all starters. He allowed just 3 hard-hit balls in his last start and 1 in his first. The Phillies bats have struggled, batting .192 with a .562 OPS over their last 6 games. They combined to score 15 runs during that span. No Phillies batter has faced Roupp before.

PHI SP Tajuan Walker has yet to allow a run but his xERA is 3.61. He was miserable in 2024 (7.1 ERA) and miserable in spring training (7.41 ERA). His first two starts were against the Braves and Rockies. Atlanta's bats are just starting to wake up but they're still 21st in OPS, and Colorado has been poor all season. The Giants offense ranks 6th in runs per game. They're better offensively on the road and just took 2 out of 3 in the Bronx scoring 9, 4, and 5 runs. They also have an xBA of .269 and xwOBA of .344 in 67 career plate appearances vs Walker. 7:45PM EST: Cardinals ML -110 (3 Units).

HOU SP Framber Valdez is as tough as they come but he's on the road today. His road ERA is still good, but a considerable difference compared to pitching at Home. He has a 2.5 ERA through 3 starts and an xERA of 3.34. The Cardinals are 3rd in OPS on the Season and 5th in OPS vs LHP. They're also 3rd in OPS at Home. We like STL SP Sonny Gray to have a good day. He allowed 1 ER on 5 IP @ PIT in his most recent outing but allowed 5 ER on 6 IP to the Angels in his most recent Home Start. He had a 2.79 ERA at Home for the Cardinals in 2024 and a 2.67 ERA at Home for the Twins in 2023. The Astros are 17th in OPS this Month but they've been feast or famine, scoring 3 runs or less in 6 of their 11 games.
