ANALYSIS: After a rough first start, Max Scherzer has been dominant in his last two outings. Carlos Martinez, meanwhile, is 0-3 with a 7.80 ERA after posting a 9.90 ERA last year as a starter. This line should be higher. Look for the Nats to beat the Cards for the eighth time in the past 10 meetings.

ANALYSIS: Eleven of the Dodgers' 13 wins have come by two or more runs. I like getting the Dodgers off a loss facing a Seattle team they've dominated (10-2 past 12 meetings). Dustin May has 14 strikeouts in 10.1 innings, a 1.74 ERA, and he should have a long outing after only throwing 4.1 innings last time out vs. Colorado. Play the Dodgers on the run line at -125.

ANALYSIS: Matthew Boyd has been excellent this season with a 1.86 ERA, but the Athletics are extremely tough versus left-handed pitching. Their .815 OPS against southpaws ranks third in the American League. The A's have won seven straight, including taking the first three games of this series by a combined 18-4 score. I'll lay the reasonable price.

ANALYSIS: The Cardinals have allowed 32 runs over their last five games and their pitching staff ranks 28th with a WHIP of 1.47. Carlos Martinez had a terrible 2020 season and this season has started the same way: 0-2 with a 6.30 ERA. The Phillies struggled big-time against the Mets, scoring four runs while losing all three road games, but this is a good spot for their bats to wake up. Bryce Harper has two homers in seven career at-bats versus Martinez. With Philadelphia's Zach Eflin in much better current form, I'll back the home favorite.

ANALYSIS: This total has fallen to the point where there's value on the Over. The Nationals' Patrick Corbin has a WHIP of 2.08, while the Diamondbacks' Merrill Kelly has a WHIP of 1.70. There should be plenty of baserunners tonight when they meet in Washington. The Nationals offense is waking up now that they're closer to full strength. Go Over.
