Boston Red Sox vs. Toronto Blue Jays
The Pick: Jarren Duran over 2.5 H/R/RBI +120
Duran is having a ridiculous month of June. Coming into today he’s slashing .395/.451/.648 with a .467 wOBA and a 203 wRC+. Even more impressive, Duran has gone over 2.5 H/R/RBI in 14 OF THE 21 GAMES PLAYED THIS MONTH! That’s honestly absurd. This 2.5 number is one he’s gone over in five straight games as he continues his impressive month of June. Tonight, he’ll be facing Jays starter Kevin Gausman, who not only has been struggling lately but has really poor numbers against left-handed bats. Lefties have tagged Gausman with a .367 wOBA and six of the 11 home runs he’s allowed. I like Duran to go over this number tonight for a sixth straight night. You can also take part in a same game parlay that I created on DraftKings Sportsbook as well below.

Los Angeles Dodgers at Chicago White Sox
The Pick: Dodgers Team Total over 5.5 runs -110
Great spot for the Dodgers tonight against White Sox starter Chris Flexen. He’s been “better” lately but he still owns a 5.10 ERA at home with a .346 wOBA and a 5.09 FIP. As is usually the case, the Dodgers will be the toughest test that he’ll face to date. Flexen has particularly bad numbers against lefties and he’ll face a number of them tonight, including Shohei Ohtani and Freddie Freeman. While Flexen usually does quite well the first time through the batting order, he falls apart quickly after that. The second time through the batting order, Flexen has a 6.33 ERA with a .413 wOBA and five of the 11 home runs he’s allowed. When he comes out, the White Sox bullpen has been a weak spot (well, the entire team is a weak spot). For the month, the White Sox relievers have a combined for a 4.46 ERA.

Oakland Athletics at Los Angeles Angels
The Pick: Game Total under 4.5 runs through first five innings -120
This doesn’t feel like a big offensive night for the A’s and Angels. It doesn’t sound like a classic pitching matchup between Mitch Spence and Tyler Anderson. However, both of these offenses are quite lackluster, and that has be on the under through the first five innings. Against righties, the Angels expected lineup for tonight has a combined .286 wOBA while the A’s against lefties have a combined .322 wOBA. Specifically for Anderson, he’s been fantastic on the mound. He’s due for some regression as indicated by his 2.48 ERA and xERA of 4.51 but I don’t think that night of correction is here. I think this will be a low scoring affair and fail to reach five runs.
