Houston Astros vs. Seattle Mariners - Hayden Wesneski vs. Logan Gilbert (9:40 PM, EST)

Under 0.5 Run (-135) at BetMGM Sportsbook

Without Kyle Tucker in their lineup, the Houston Astros have struggled to sustain their high level of play as their offense ranks below league average in Team Total Hits, RBIs, Runs Scored, and On Base Percentage. Other than Jose Altuve, no one in the Astros top of their order possesses a Batting Average over 0.250 and an OPS higher than 0.650. A shocking start to the year from an offense who was expected to play a major role in their run to the World Series.

Against Seattle, their struggles on offense are poised to persist as they face off against Logan Gilbert who excels at keeping opposing runners off the bases as his WHIP of 0.667 indicates. An impressive feat when factoring in his aggressive nature as the Mariners pitcher also leads the league in total Strikeouts. With Houston failing to make contact at a league average rate, expect Gilbert to neutralize their offense and hold them scoreless in the first inning.

On the other side of the field, positive regression looms large over Hayden Wesneski as the Astros pitcher was on the receiving end of poor luck in his debut. Even though he finished the contest with a WHIP of 1.000, the San Francisco Giants were able to capitalize on their minimal scoring opportunities. With Seattle’s offense also grading out poorly in the same previously mentioned offensive metrics, expect Wesneski to keep the Mariners out of scoring position.

Cincinnati Reds vs. San Francisco Giants - Hunter Greene vs. Logan Webb (9:45 PM, EST)

Under 0.5 Run (-140) at BetMGM Sportsbook

After a turbulent Spring Training, the Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher Hunter Greene has been able to round back into form as he is currently averaging an ERA of 2.25, a WHIP of 0.667, and FIP of 1.86. Like Gilbert, Greene is an aggressive pitcher who thrives at creating Whiffs by generating a high amount of Strikeouts. His back end also gives him a high level of support as the Reds defense ranks third overall in Defensive Efficiency.

Greene will have the opportunity to get off to a hot start against San Francisco as the Giants offense ranks 16th in Team Total Hits and 9th in Total Strikeouts. Especially with the top of their order struggling to make contact at a league average rate as LaMonte Wade and Willy Adames average less than one Hit per game and an OPS lower than 0.600. Should Greene make quick work of their first two batters, then his chances of holding them scoreless greatly increases.

As for Logan Webb, the Giants Cy Young contender will also be in a favorable position to string together a dominant performance as he faces off against a Reds offense who ranks in the bottom ten in On Base Percentage and OPS. Their struggles will be on full display against Webb as the Giants pitcher has excelled at avoiding contact. In his two starts, Webb averages less than one Hit Against per Inning Pitched while generating a WHIP of 1.167.

  • San Diego Padres vs. Athletics - Michael King vs. Luis Severino - With Michael King and Luis Severino both generating alarmingly high WHIP’s, expect the San Diego Padres and Athletics to get on base and in scoring position early on in their contest as both offenses excel at making contact at an above league average rate.
