NYM -260 Thor's striking out close to 10 batters per nine and has limited the walks in his rookie season. He's a big favorite to win today against Eddie Butler and the strike out numbers could come fast and furious. He's expensive but he appears by far the safest bet considering park and opponent.
PITT +106 The Cardinals are one of the worst teams in the league against lefty pitching this season. They're striking out more than 24% of the time in this split and a majority of their quality bats (Carpenter, Wong, Heyward) are significantly worse against lefty pitching. Liriano's striking out more than ten batters per nine this season with a sub three xFIP.
LAA -113 Guthrie, is bad. He strikes out only 4.5 batters per nine and has an xFIP in the low 5's. We need to have money in against him.
Cubs -220 A nice matchup against Tyler Cravy who's a middling arm at best. Cravy walks nearly as much as he K's.
