In Tuesday’s Astros–Athletics clash, Data Skrive highlighted Miguel Andujar’s quietly sizzling bat as the lone reason to lean into an otherwise lopsided matchup (Houston -207). Andujar carries a 12-game hitting streak — tied for the second-longest active run in MLB — into a duel with right-hander Cristian Javier, whose four-seam velocity is down 1.4 mph and whose opponents’ batting average has jumped from .206 to .264 year-over-year. During the streak Andujar owns a .392/.417/.588 line with hits in 22 of 56 batted-ball events (39% hit rate) and an xBA of .331. Data Skrive recommended leveraging the streak via a simple ‘to record a hit’ prop (priced around -280) or plus-money Over 1.5 Total Bases (+115), noting that Andujar has cleared that number in seven of the 12 games thanks to an 11% barrel rate that dwarfs his career mark. Even if Oakland ultimately falls, Andujar’s current approach (27% line-drive rate, career-best 6.9% swing-and-miss) makes the hit prop a viable standalone play.

Data Skrive pointed out that Manny Machado enters Tuesday’s home meeting with Miami on a two-game home-run streak, one shy of his longest such stretch since July 2024. The Padres have been installed as -183 money-line favorites, the largest number on the 15-game slate, and the piece explicitly tied that price to the current state of San Diego’s middle-of-the-order production. Machado has posted a .658 SLG during the run, while the Marlins’ projected starter – a bullpen day head-lined by left-hander Trevor Rogers (6.01 ERA, 1.49 WHIP vs RHB) – has allowed five homers in his last four appearances. With Petco Park’s marine layer providing only a negligible park-factor drag (92 HR index), Data Skrive recommended riding both the Padres money line and Machado Over 1.5 Total Bases at +105 odds, banking on his 43% hard-hit rate over the past two weeks and Miami’s 28th-ranked bullpen.

The Bleacher Nation computer pick calls for an 8-run combined total in Miami, nudging bettors toward the under 8.5. Chicago’s Jameson Taillon has held opponents to a 2.98 ERA through his first seven starts, and Miami’s offense remains bottom-three in MLB slugging (.349). Meanwhile the Cubs’ bullpen still ranks top-10 in FIP over the past month. With both teams’ recent scoring trends pointing downward—Marlins averaging 3.4 runs in their last ten and Chicago failing to top five in six of eight—the model’s median outcome lands shy of the number.

Data Skrive’s simulations churned out an eight-run expectation for Astros-Rays, well below the 9.5 posted total, so their best bet is the under. Houston is a narrow -113 favorite but both clubs rank bottom-10 in wRC+ over the last seven days and will throw bullpen-heavy staffs at spacious George M. Steinbrenner Field. With each side leaning on ground-ball relievers and Tampa Bay struggling to clear four runs in five of its last six, the computer flags the under as the sharper angle than a side.

The algorithm is grabbing +152 on the Cardinals to knock off the AL-leading Tigers. St. Louis (27-21) is catching nearly + odds at home even though Detroit will be on short rest after a long road swing. Records are closer than the price implies (Tigers 31-17), and the model produces a slight win probability edge for St. L. that turns the plus money into a positive-EV wager. It also projects the game to push past the 7.5 total, making a correlated over worth a sprinkle.

Data Skrive’s proprietary projection engine made the Reds a play at -131 on the moneyline for Tuesday’s trip to PNC Park. The model leans Cincinnati despite only a modest price because Pittsburgh enters at 15-33 and has lost ground in every major run-differential metric over the past two weeks, while the Reds sit a game over .500 (25-24). With the computer spitting out an 8-run median and recommending the over on the listed 8 as well, backing the better-record club and expecting enough offense to clear the total is the preferred betting script.

Data Skrive projected a 5-4 final and recommended the Under 9 despite Wrigley’s reputation for offense. Key factors: Megill has yet to allow more than three earned in any start, and the Mets’ bullpen backs him with the second-best ERA in MLB. On the other side, Chicago’s relief corps owns a respectable 4.01 ERA and Counsell confirmed Keller will be treated as a multi-inning opener before turning to the stronger arms. Weather models call for 10-12 mph wind blowing in from right, further suppressing power in a park where New York already averages just 1.2 HR per game. The Mets are 15-24 to the under and the Cubs counter with a 15-run median total, so a tightly managed pitching plan plus neutralizing wind gives value to the Under at standard juice.

Data Skrive advised laying the -152 moneyline with the Mets on Saturday at Wrigley. Their model leans on several edges: 1) Tylor Megill owns a 2.50 ERA and 11.0 K/9 through 36 2/3 IP, while Chicago is opting for a bullpen game head-lined by former reliever Brad Keller making his first start of the year. 2) New York’s pitching staff boasts the second-best team ERA in baseball (2.88) and the fifth-best strikeout rate (9.3 K/9), a bad matchup for a Cubs lineup that strikes out 8.2 times per game. 3) The Mets have cashed 20 of 29 games (69%) when listed as a favorite and are 8-6 (57.1%) in the exact ‑152 or shorter price band. 4) Chicago enters on a three-game skid and is just 47.1% as a dog this season. With New York ranking seventh in runs per game (4.8) and ninth in homers, Data Skrive expects their offensive floor plus the clear mound advantage to justify swallowing the juice.

Data Skrive projected a 6-5 final and advised playing the Over 9.5 runs. Their model leans on several red-flag pitching indicators: Baltimore owns the 28th-ranked staff ERA at 5.50 with a bottom-five 7.5 K/9, while Los Angeles sits 26th at 5.33 ERA and matches the same low strikeout rate. Both teams live and die by the long ball—Angels are fourth in MLB with 51 homers, Orioles 10th with 43—and each has already cashed overs in over 40% of their games (Angels 20-16 on totals, Orioles 16-20). Warm weather and neutral winds at Angel Stadium add to the run-scoring environment. With Kyle Hendricks bringing a 4.90 expected ERA and Tomoyuki Sugano striking out just 4.8 per nine over his last three starts, Data Skrive expects crooked numbers from the jump and recommends betting the Over.

Despite Baltimore being installed as a ‑147 favorite, Data Skrive predicted an Angels 6-5 victory and sees value on the +123 moneyline. Key angles: the Orioles are just 7-12 as favorites overall and 0-3 when priced ‑147 or shorter; Los Angeles has a respectable 6-8 record when listed +123 or longer. The Angels wield the superior power profile (51 homers, 4th in MLB) against a Baltimore staff giving up 1.3 HR/9. Kyle Hendricks faces an Orioles lineup hitting only .227 and missing key bats Jordan Westburg and Tyler O’Neill, while Tomoyuki Sugano’s modest 21 strikeouts in 39⅔ innings (4.8 K/9) should allow Zach Neto—riding a 13-game hit streak—and Logan O’Hoppe (team-high nine HR) to put early pressure on Baltimore. With the bullpens both bottom-five in ERA, Data Skrive believes the Angels’ power and home-field edge make them a live dog worth backing.

The computer spit out a contrarian recommendation, grabbing Arizona +110 and the Over 10 in the desert. Despite the Dodgers’ 25-13 mark, recent simulations rate this as a near coin-flip (52% D-backs win probability) once Chase Field’s run-boosting conditions and LA’s taxed bullpen are accounted for. With both rotations posting 4.50+ ERA over the last two turns, the model projects 6.0–5.5 in favor of Arizona, clearing the double-digit total and giving bettors plus-money on the home side.

Even with Vladimir Guerrero Jr. riding a 10-game hitting streak, Data Skrive’s model still makes Seattle a worthy lay at -139 and likes the Over 7.5. The projections respect the Mariners’ 22-14 start, 14-6 home record at T-Mobile Park, and J.P. Crawford’s own 15-game streak that has pushed the club to 5.0 runs per game over the last week. Simulations spit out 5.1–3.9 in favor of Seattle (59% win probability) with 9.0 combined runs, suggesting room on both the moneyline and total.

The algorithm fired on Atlanta -146 and the Under 9 at PNC Park, pointing to two converging trends: Pittsburgh’s seven-game losing streak that has dropped the Bucs to 12-26, and a Braves pitching staff that has surrendered only 3.1 runs per contest over its last eight. Simulations give Atlanta a 61% chance to win and project 7.4 total runs. With Pittsburgh’s offense bottom-five in OPS (.653) and the park suppressing homers by 12% versus league average, the computer sees value backing the road favorite and a low-run script.

Data Skrive’s proprietary projection system took a hard stance on Friday’s opener at Comerica Park, recommending a Tigers moneyline play at the steep -271 price and an Under 7.5 total. The model is baking in Detroit’s 25-13 record and four-game winning streak, while fading a scuffling Texas club that has slipped to 18-20. Comerica’s power-sapping dimensions plus a 6:40 p.m. first pitch in 55-degree weather further support a low-scoring environment. The computer outputs give Detroit a 67% win probability and project a combined 6.3 runs, well below the posted number.

Data Skrive highlighted Jordan Beck’s Over 1.5 Total Bases at +115 as a live prop against rookie right-hander Jackson Jobe. Beck owns a .551 slugging percentage with 5 homers in only 23 games and is averaging 1.87 total bases per outing. Jobe will be making one of his first MLB starts in the league’s most offense-friendly park, and Colorado’s young outfielder has already posted a .333 OBP and near-40% extra-base-hit rate at home. With Coors Field amplifying every ball in play and Beck’s power profile in mid-season form, the + odds on two bases or more present solid value.

Data Skrive listed Spencer Torkelson’s Over 1.5 Total Bases at +125 as one of its favorite props for Thursday’s matinee at Coors Field. The model pointed to Torkelson’s .535 slugging percentage, 10 homers and 69 total bases through just 36 games (1.92 TB per game) as evidence he is already clearing this mark at a healthy clip. He also draws a premium hitting environment in Denver and a soft matchup against 0-4 left-hander Kyle Freeland. Freeland has historically struggled to miss bats at altitude, while Torkelson carries a .344 OBP and well-above-average hard-hit rate into the contest. The combination of thin air, a favorable platoon split and plus odds make the over an attractive wager.

For bettors hunting longer odds, Data Skrive circled Pete Alonso to hit a home run at +320 versus Merrill Kelly. Alonso’s .341/.463/.659 start features 9 homers and an MLB-best 87 total bases through 37 games; he is leaving the yard once every 15.2 plate appearances. Kelly’s sinker/curve mix neutralizes lefties but has historically surrendered a .448 SLG to right-handed power, and Chase Field’s summer roof-open conditions add carry to the pull side. With Alonso’s fly-ball rate sitting at 48% and his average exit velocity north of 93 mph, Data Skrive argued the market should be closer to +250, making +320 an exploitable edge for a one-unit homer sprinkle.

Data Skrive recommended Corbin Carroll OVER 1.5 total bases at +125. Carroll has racked up 90 TB in 36 games (2.5 per game) while slashing .288/.355/.588 and already tagging 10 home runs. He’ll face Kodai Senga, whose ghost-fork generates whiffs but also produces walks and the occasional loud contact. Carroll’s elite sprint speed (99th percentile last season) turns singles into doubles and keeps him live for this prop even if he doesn’t leave the yard. With the game in Chase Field’s hitter-friendly environment and no major weather concerns, Data Skrive believes the +125 price is misaligned with Carroll’s underlying 61% over rate on this number in 2025.

Calling Jorge Polanco’s Hits OVER 0.5 at -200 "as safe as it gets," Data Skrive pointed to the veteran’s scorching .356/.406/.724 line. Polanco has produced 31 hits in 26 games, has at least one knock in 81% of his starts, and draws the same soft matchup with rookie Gunnar Hoglund. Seattle’s projected lineup gives him protection in front of Julio Rodriguez and Cal Raleigh, which should force Hoglund to attack early in counts. Given Polanco’s 45% hard-hit rate and multi-hit upside, Data Skrive endorsed laying the juice on the 0.5-hit threshold rather than chasing a more volatile total-base number.

Data Skrive highlighted Cal Raleigh’s Total Bases OVER 1.5 at +100 as one of Wednesday’s stronger props. Raleigh owns a .246/.364/.577 slash through 35 games with 75 total bases and 12 homers, so he is averaging 2.1 TB per game and clearing this number 57% of the time. He’ll catch Gunnar Hoglund, who is making his first MLB start for Oakland, giving Seattle’s switch-hitting slugger a matchup edge against an untested right-hander. With weather expected to be mild in West Sacramento and the Mariners carrying the slate’s third-highest implied run total, Data Skrive sees Raleigh’s extra-base power playing up and labeled the over a plus-money buy.

Data Skrive’s Tuesday best bets include Atlanta on the ‑211 moneyline and the over 8 runs. Cincinnati has dropped three straight to fall to 18-18, and its rotation owns a 4.66 ERA. The Braves, 16-18 but favored by the market and the model, are projected to jump on a fatigued Reds bullpen that was forced to cover 10 innings over the weekend. The sim output cleared the posted total thanks to those pitching concerns on both sides of Truist Park.

The algorithm sided with Kansas City as ‑228 favorites and projected an under on the 8.5 total. The Royals carry a three-game winning streak and a 20-16 mark into Kauffman Stadium, while the White Sox limp in at 10-25. Chicago’s lineup ranks last in MLB in OPS (.620), so the computer sees limited damage against K.C.’s pitching staff, making both the moneyline and the under correlated plays.

Data Skrive recommended laying the heavy ‑274 moneyline with the Dodgers in Miami and pairing it with the over 9.5 runs. The model’s bullish stance leans on L.A.’s 24-11 record, a lineup that has scored 5.5 runs per game, and Freddie Freeman’s active 10-game hit streak. Miami enters at 13-21, and its shaky bullpen owns a 4.91 ERA, factors that pushed the computer projection past the posted total at spacious loanDepot Park.

Data Skrive’s model projected Washington to beat Cleveland in the 3:35 p.m. opener despite the Nats closing as +101 home underdogs. The sim still leans Nationals even though the clubs’ records favor Cleveland (20-14 vs 16-19). A big reason the algo believes the Nats can steal Game 1 is the current form of shortstop CJ Abrams, who rides a 10-game hitting streak into the afternoon. The computer also pushed the full-game total over 9, expecting run production to out-pace the listed number at hitter-friendly Nationals Park.

Data Skrive’s Tuesday best bets include Atlanta on the ‑211 moneyline and the over 8 runs. Cincinnati has dropped three straight to fall to 18-18, and its rotation owns a 4.66 ERA. The Braves, 16-18 but favored by the market and the model, are projected to jump on a fatigued Reds bullpen that was forced to cover 10 innings over the weekend. The sim output cleared the posted total thanks to those pitching concerns on both sides of Truist Park.

The algorithm sided with Kansas City as ‑228 favorites and projected an under on the 8.5 total. The Royals carry a three-game winning streak and a 20-16 mark into Kauffman Stadium, while the White Sox limp in at 10-25. Chicago’s lineup ranks last in MLB in OPS (.620), so the computer sees limited damage against K.C.’s pitching staff, making both the moneyline and the under correlated plays.

The model’s bullish stance leans on L.A.’s 24-11 record, a lineup that has scored 5.5 runs per game, and Freddie Freeman’s active 10-game hit streak. Miami enters at 13-21, and its shaky bullpen owns a 4.91 ERA, factors that pushed the computer projection past the posted total at spacious loanDepot Park.

Data Skrive’s model projected Washington to beat Cleveland in the 3:35 p.m. opener despite the Nats closing as +101 home underdogs. The sim still leans Nationals even though the clubs’ records favor Cleveland (20-14 vs 16-19). A big reason the algo believes the Nats can steal Game 1 is the current form of shortstop CJ Abrams, who rides a 10-game hitting streak into the afternoon. The computer also pushed the full-game total over 9, expecting run production to out-pace the listed number at hitter-friendly Nationals Park.

Even after Maikel Garcia’s two-homer outburst, Data Skrive’s model projects Monday’s game to stay Under 8 runs while laying a hefty ‑245 with Kansas City. The read suggests Garcia’s recent power binge isn’t enough to lift a punch-less White Sox lineup (10-24) into a shootout. Bettors are better off fading inflated Garcia HR props and instead pairing the Royals moneyline with the Under for a same-game angle that aligns with the computer’s low-scoring script.

Data Skrive noted Geraldo Perdomo’s four-hit explosion in his last game and still projects Arizona to upset the visiting Mets, taking the Diamondbacks ML at ‑109 while leaning Under 9.5. Perdomo’s table-setting from the top of the order boosts an offense that’s 18-16, and the under call signals confidence in Arizona pitching controlling New York. Stack Perdomo hit props with the Snakes ML for a correlated wager or ride him as a cheap DFS shortstop in cash builds.

Coming off a two-homer night, Austin Riley was the only Braves bat singled out by Data Skrive ahead of Monday’s tilt with Cincinnati. Their model lays ‑147 on Atlanta but still projects Under 8.5 total runs, implying a low-scoring game where Riley supplies the thunder. Bettors can exploit that read by pairing a Braves ML ticket with a Riley HR prop instead of chasing the full-game Over, while DFS players get tournament-winning upside at third base.

Data Skrive highlighted that C.J. Abrams carries a 10-game hitting streak into Monday’s matchup with Cleveland. Despite the Guardians’ superior 20-14 record, the computer model prefers Washington on the moneyline (-101) and leans Over 9 runs. Abrams’ recent contact binge is a key driver behind backing the Nats as home underdogs, making him a salary-friendly DFS play while reinforcing the value on Washington’s side of the bet.

Data Skrive said Monday’s series opener at Sutter Health Park "sets up as a sluggers’ duel" and called out Cal Raleigh’s league-leading 12 home runs. The model is riding Seattle on the moneyline (-114) and projects the total to go Over 9. With the computer expecting plenty of long-ball potential, Raleigh’s switch-hit power and everyday cleanup role make him a priority DFS catcher and a live HR-prop target in a game their algorithm already pegs to clear the number.

Data Skrive projected a 10-9 Royals victory and recommended grabbing Kansas City at the +114 moneyline. Their model leans on several edges: Michael Lorenzen (3-3) owns the better early-season form than Kyle Gibson (0-1), and the Royals’ staff-wide 3.08 ERA ranks 4th in MLB while Baltimore’s 5.24 ERA sits 28th. The Orioles generate just 7.4 K/9 (4th-worst), a poor fit against a Royals lineup that strikes out only 7.1 times per game (3rd-best contact rate). Baltimore has cashed as a favorite only 38.9% of the time (7-11) and is just 3-6 when priced at −134 or shorter, whereas Kansas City has already won five games outright at +114 or longer. Add a healthier 18-16 record versus Baltimore’s 13-19 mark, and Data Skrive called the Royals a value underdog in the series finale.

Data Skrive’s algorithm makes Atlanta a -164 moneyline recommendation and projects the total to clear 9 runs in Wednesday’s matinee. Key data points fed into the model: the Braves’ 38 percent hard‑hit rate against right‑handed pitching and Sean Murphy entering on a two‑game home‑run streak, plus St. Louis traveling with a bullpen that ranks 28th in WHIP (1.52). Bryce Elder draws the start for Atlanta and profiles as a ground‑ball specialist (55 percent) well‑suited to Truist Park, while Cardinals rookie Andre Pallante carries a 4.97 xERA through his first four turns. The computer sees a 6‑4 type script and rates Atlanta to win 62 percent of simulations—value at the current implied 60 percent.

The model lists Chicago as the better side in Wednesday’s coin‑flip matchup at Wrigley, recommending Cubs -110 over a Dodgers club still licking its wounds from Tuesday’s 11‑10 collapse. Data Skrive cites Chicago’s 15‑10 record (11‑6 in games decided by three runs or fewer) and the bullpen’s 2.98 ERA over the last two weeks as edges against a Los Angeles relief corps that has blown three saves on the current trip. The simulation projects a run‑fest (Over 9) with two mid‑rotation right‑handers on the bump and wind forecasted out to right at 14 mph. DFS and prop bettors can translate that game environment into extra plate appearances for the top half of the Cubs order.

Data Skrive’s Wednesday MLB simulation spit out the Padres as its preferred side, taking San Diego at +132 on the moneyline in Detroit. The model is leaning Padres despite their under‑dog price because Bob Melvin’s club owns the best record in baseball at 17‑7 and is averaging 5.6 runs per game, while the Tigers, although a surprising 14‑10, have scored just 4.0 runs per contest. The computer also projects a pitcher‑friendly environment at Comerica Park and recommends Under 8.5, noting both rotations enter with a sub‑4.00 ERA and Detroit’s spacious outfield suppresses home‑run generation (league‑low 0.78 HR per game at home so far). Bettors are advised to grab the plus odds on the hotter lineup and pair it with the total lean to create a correlated play.

Data Skrive’s computer pick lands on the Tigers at -127 despite Kansas City sending veteran right‑hander Seth Lugo to the mound. Detroit’s 12‑8 overall record and Comerica Park advantage are factored into the projection, while the model expects fewer than 8 combined runs, banking on Casey Mize continuing his early 2‑1, sub‑3.00 ERA form. Bettors are advised to ride Detroit moneyline and the under 8.

The Mariners opened as -126 road favorites behind Logan Gilbert, but Data Skrive’s projection prefers the Blue Jays at +106, noting Toronto’s 12‑8 record and three‑game winning streak. The algorithm also projects the total to clear 8 runs, hinting at run support for Jose Berrios against a Seattle bullpen that has struggled on travel days. Bettors can grab the home underdog plus the over for a correlated payout.

With both clubs hovering around -110, Data Skrive’s algorithm flags value on the 15‑6 Dodgers over the 12‑8 Rangers. The computer leans under 8.5 runs in Globe Life Field, suggesting LA’s pitching depth can neutralize Texas while the Dodger offense does just enough. Bettors looking for an edge can take LA on the moneyline and pair it with the under.

Despite near‑even odds (Cubs -109, Diamondbacks -110), Data Skrive’s model sided with Chicago, pointing to the Cubs’ 13‑9 start and home‑field edge at Wrigley against a Diamondbacks club that is 12‑8. The computer also projected the game to go over 7.5 runs, suggesting an uptick in offense after the teams combined for 24 runs the previous day. Bettors looking for plus expected value can take Chicago on the moneyline and pair it with the over.

Data Skrive’s betting model sided with the Phillies on the moneyline at -212 and projected the game to stay under the listed total of 10 runs. The write‑up noted Philadelphia’s 12‑8 record versus Miami’s 8‑11 mark and implied the computer expects Taijuan Walker’s start and Citizens Bank Park’s early‑season run environment to keep scoring suppressed. Bettors are advised to back Philadelphia straight up rather than lay the run line and pair it with an under play.

Data Skrive projected a 4‑3 Padres victory despite the books hanging San Diego at +139. Their model likes the Friars because they check every current‑form box: a 15‑5 overall record, a league‑best .277 team batting average, and the second‑lowest staff ERA at 2.75. Offensively, Fernando Tatis Jr. is pacing the lineup with six homers and a .342 average while the club is striking out just 6.6 times a night — fewest in MLB — a sharp contrast to the Astros’ scuffling offense that sits 24th in runs (3.8 per game) and 22nd in average (.223). On the mound, unbeaten Michael King (3‑0) gets the ball opposite Hayden Wesneski (1‑1, 4.00 ERA). Houston has been a shaky favorite all year (6‑6 overall, 1‑2 when priced -165 or shorter), so the tout believes the matchup and market mispricing make the Padres a plus‑odds moneyline buy.

With San Diego sitting at a league‑best 15‑4 yet priced as a +118 underdog, Data Skrive’s projection calls for the Padres to beat the struggling 8‑10 Astros (Astros –140). The model also likes Under 9 runs at Daikin Park, giving bettors an attractive dog‑and‑under combination.

Despite L.A. opening –145, Data Skrive’s engine makes the Rangers (+122) the preferred side in a meeting of two clubs riding three‑game win streaks (Dodgers 14‑6, Rangers 12‑7). It also projects the game to fall Under the 8‑run total, suggesting a moneyline upset and a low‑scoring tilt at Globe Life Field.

Data Skrive’s simulations prefer Detroit at +118 over a Royals club laying –140 despite the Tigers’ better 11‑8 record. The model expects a tight contest that stays Under the 7.5‑run total, giving bettors a live home underdog and an aligned total play.

Even with Cleveland listed at –134, Data Skrive projected Pittsburgh (+113) to grab the win at PNC Park. The computer leans Under 9 in a matchup of clubs hovering around .500 (Guardians 9‑9, Pirates 8‑12) and sees value in the home dog moneyline plus the lower‑scoring script.

Data Skrive’s projection model sided with the Cubs on the moneyline at +105 even though oddsmakers opened Arizona as a –125 favorite. The algorithm cited Chicago’s 12‑9 start, home‑field edge at Wrigley Field for the 2:20 p.m. first pitch, and a generous 11‑run total it expects to stay Under. It spits out a straight‑up Cubs victory while leaning Under 11, giving bettors both a plus‑odds side and a correlated total angle.

Data Skrive projected Milwaukee (–161) to hold serve at home behind William Contreras, who enters Friday on a 10‑game hitting streak. The computer leans to the Brewers over the 9‑10 Athletics and expects the matchup to stay Under the 8‑run total, tying Contreras’ hot bat to a solid moneyline favorite and an under play.
