Baltimore Orioles vs. New York Mets - Dean Kremer vs. Jose Quintana (7:10 PM, EST)

Over 0.5 Run (-105) at FanDuel

Thanks to J.D. Martinez's two-run home run at the bottom of the first inning, we cashed the YRFI in Monday’s contest between the Mets and Orioles. Tuesday’s slate gives us the opportunity to back them once again as both offenses are set to face off against another pair of underwhelming pitchers. That bodes especially well for the Orioles as they have continued to struggle with getting on base at a competitive rate.

Even with their struggles of getting on base, the Orioles continue to maximize their scoring chances by ranking near the top of the board in Team Total Hits, RBIs, and Total Runs Scored. While that is normally an indicator of negative regression, the Orioles have a chance to stop their skid and build some late-season momentum against the Mets Jose Quintana. Quintana has struggled with limiting opposing offensive production, entering the contest with an ERA of 4.26, a WHIP of 1.295, and an FIP of 5.00.

As for the Mets, their offense has continued to play at a high rate as they rank well above league average in the same previously mentioned offensive metrics. With their pitching staff giving them little to no support, their offensive production is needed now more than ever as they find themselves in a tight race for the last wildcard spot against fellow NL East divisional foe Atlanta Braves.

If the Mets want to close the gap between the two and salvage their season with a playoff berth, then their offense must continue to set the scoring pace early in the contest to limit late-game variance. Against the Orioles Dean Kremer, the Mets offense will find themselves in scoring position early and often as he has struggled with limiting the number of opposing runners on base as his WHIP of 1.284 indicates.

Milwaukee Brewers vs. St. Louis Cardinals - Frankie Montas vs. Erick Fedde (7:45 PM, EST)

Over 0.5 Run (+108) at BetRivers

Shortly after the conclusion of our first YRFI, we turn our attention towards the NL Central divisional matchup between the Milwaukee Brewers and St. Louis Cardinals. While the Brewers continue to pad their lead at the top of the NL Central division standings, the Cardinals look to keep their playoff hopes alive by climbing up the wildcard standings and potentially leap over the Braves for the last wildcard spot.

Should the Cardinals want to make a last-second push for the playoffs, then their offense will need to turn their Hits into Runs Scored as they leave their batters stranded on base at an alarming rate. Against the Brewers Frankie Montas, the Cardinals will be given the opportunity to generate more consistency as Montas has struggled with avoiding contact. In 107.1 Innings Pitched, Montas has conceded 109 Hits Against while generating a WHIP of 1.463 and FIP of 4.79.

On the other side of the field, the Brewers' offense has continued to play as one of the best units in the league as they rank above league average in Team Total Hits, RBIs, Runs Scored, and On Base Percentage. Every bit of their offensive production will be on display against the Cardinals Erick Fedde as he has continued to underwhelm since getting traded, clocking in an ERA of 5.63 and an FIP of 5.85 in three games played. He also receives little support from his back end as the Cardinals rank 20th in Defensive Efficiency.
