With the Texas Rangers injuries Alejandro Osuna has become a common starter since May 1st. His last three starts he has had at least one hit. Dustin May of St. Louis, did not record a win in the month of May. Expect the Rangers to be the latest to get to May with Osuna being an under valued bat in the lineup.

The overall projections have Nathan Eovaldi just under six strikeouts but I'm taking the over at -110 on MGM. Eovaldi has turned up the strikeouts of late, going over this line in five straight starts, albeit a couple ended at six. Still, Eovaldi gets to face a lineup that on paper has struggled to the tune of second worst K rate in MLB against the splitter. That's the main strikeout pitch here for Eovaldi, featuring a whiff rate over 40% against righties, and yet still striking out lefties at a high clip, despite a lower whiff rate. Adding Jimmy Crooks and his ~30% K rate into the Cardinals lineup should help as well.
