Dodgers vs. Mets: Over 9 total runs (+100)
Both teams are filled with offensive star power, with the Dodgers' lineup showcasing a deep talent pool, including Shohei Ohtani, Kyle Tucker, Mookie Betts and Freddie Freeman, while the Mets have the duo of Juan Soto and Francisco Lindor. The Dodgers averaged six runs per game in their series against the Phillies, and they are third in baseball in scoring at 5.19 runs per game. The Dodgers aren't starting their best on the mound, with Roki Sasaki (4.98 ERA) starting. The Mets are starting Sean Manaea, who allowed four runs over 4 2/3 innings against the Phillies on Saturday and has a 4.74 ERA on the season. The model projects the Over to hit in 60.4% of simulations. Back the Over by claiming the latest BetMGM bonus code CBSSPORTS here:
Jesus Luzardo, Phillies, Over 7.5 strikeouts (-105)
"The Bronx Bombers are likely to use a righty-heavy order against him, but I'm not sure it matters, being they still have to kind of force-feed at least a few lefties in there," SportsLine MLB expert Angelo Magliocca said. "Regardless, Luzardo has been good against both sides of the plate and is running a 15% swinging strike rate and 114 Stuff+ metric over the last month. The Yankees, on the other hand, own the league's highest strikeout rate and third-lowest OPS against southpaw pitchers in that same time. They're struggling and when Luzardo is on, his stuff is elite for strikeouts, and he projects for at least six innings here." Back Luzardo by claiming the latest BetMGM bonus code CBSSPORTS here:
Logan Webb, Giants, Over 19.5 total outs (-110)
"In his last seven home starts for the Giants (excluding Opening Day against the Yankees), Logan Webb has thrown at least seven innings in six of them," SportsLine expert Eric Cohen said. "And it's not as if he even needs to pitch well for manager Tony Vitello to leave him in the game. Against Toronto on July 8th, Webb gave up five runs in the first inning and still managed to throw an additional six frames. Current Angels hitters are batting a collective 8-for-33 against Webb (.242 average), so I believe San Francisco's ace will once again find a way to pitch deep into the game against them on Friday night."
