Chicago White Sox vs. Baltimore Orioles - Nick Nastrini vs. Cade Povich (6:35 PM, EST)

Over 0.5 Run (-112) at FanDuel

It’s not exactly settling on the stomach when making a wager involving the Chicago White Sox offense to be productive, especially when they rank near dead last across the board in Team Total Hits, RBIs, Total Runs Scored, and On Base Percentage. Their lack of offensive production has been the main cause for their horrific 2024 campaign as they currently possess a 31-108 record with 23 games left to be played.

Fortunately for the White Sox, their offense will have an opportunity to play at a competitive level against the Baltimore Orioles Cade Povich. Povich has continued to struggle with avoiding opposing contact this season, entering Tuesday’s contest averaging over one Hit Against per Inning Pitched, an ERA of 6.58, a WHIP of 1.731, and a FIP of 5.67. Even against the worst offense in the league, expect Povich to continue to struggle due to his inability to avoid contact.

As for the Orioles, their offense has continued to play as one of the better units in the league by ranking above league average in the same previously mentioned offensive metrics. Their top of the order makes up for a brunt of their production, kicking things off with the star studded duo of Gunnar Henderson and Adley Rutschman who both made the AL All Star roster due to their elite blend of power and contact ability.

Every bit of their offensive production will be on full display in this matchup as they are set to face off against the White Sox Nick Nastrini. Nastrini has struggled mightily in his minimal appearances so far this season, taking the mound with an ERA of 7.04, a WHIP of 1.728, and FIP of 7.35 in 7 games played. His back end will also give him little support in his efforts of rounding back into form as the White Sox defense ranks 26th overall in Defensive Efficiency.

St. Louis Cardinals vs. Milwaukee Brewers - Steven Matz vs. Aaron Civale (7:40 PM, EST)

Over 0.5 Run (+100) at BetRivers

Shortly after the conclusion of our first YRFI, our next one gets underway with the St. Louis Cardinals battling it out against the Milwaukee Brewers. While the Cardinals postseason hopes look bleak, the Brewers are just a half game back from the Philadelphia Phillies for one of the two byes in the playoffs. Getting a bye is a major advantage for the Brewers, giving themselves extra rest while moving one round closer to making the World Series.

Should they want to leap over the Phillies, then their offense will need to continue to play at a high rate against the St. Louis Cardinals Steven Matz. Luckily for Milwaukee, Matz has struggled with keeping opposing runners off the bases and out of scoring position as he takes the mound with a WHIP of 1.735. That spells disaster for the Cardinals as the Brewers offense ranks well above league average in Team Total Hits, RBIs, Total Runs Scored, and On Base Percentage.

On the other side of the field, the Cardinals offense will have the opportunity to round back into form in the scoring department as they are set to face off against the Brewers Aaron Civale. While the Cardinals make contact at a high rate, they have struggled to turn their Hits into Runs Scored this season. With Civale struggling with limiting opposing offensive production as his ERA of 4.59 and FIP of 4.73 indicates, expect the Cardinals to get into scoring position early on in their contest.
