Charlie Wright's Brewers vs Reds Best Bet: Back Abbott at Plus Money
Andrew Abbott got robbed for NL Pitcher of the Month. Robbie Ray had an impressive May, but Abbott put together an absolutely ridiculous six-start stretch. He wrapped up the month with seven innings of one-hit ball against the Cubs, which marked his fourth scoreless outing of May. Abbott has allowed one earned run or fewer in all but one start this season.
Abbott continues to rely on soft fly balls. He's pushed the approach to an extreme level this season, with a career-high 40.5% fly-ball rate and a career-best 30.2% hard-hit rate (94th percentile). Abbott's xBA is a tiny .202, which makes sense given the type of contact he allows. Soft fly balls are almost always outs.
It's not just the batted-ball metrics either. Abbott has raised his arm angle by four degrees, which has affected the characteristics of his fastball and changeup. The new shapes have worked well so far. After posting a -8 run value in 2024, Abbott's fastball has an excellent +6 run value this season and his changeup has a +4 run value. It seems like the adjusted arm angle has made those pitches play off each other perfectly.
Milwaukee has been perfectly average against left-handed pitching, ranking 15th in OPS and wOBA. William Contreras is getting the day off, which also improves the matchup for Abbott.
Pick: Andrew Abbott Under 2.5 Earned Runs Allowed (+105)

Bet Labs' Cubs vs Nationals Best Bet: System Play Suggests the Under
By Bet Labs
The "Silent Sharp Unders" system targets regular-season MLB games in which both teams are performing well, yet the total has quietly dropped from open to close.
These are games featuring competent, winning teams with recent success, stable weather conditions and closing totals in a common scoring range. Despite both teams showing strength, the market subtly favors the under — likely due to matchup specifics, pitching, or pace factors. By following this soft signal — when the public eye is more focused on win streaks and not totals — this system finds value in betting against inflated scoring expectations.
This season, this system is 79-52-2 (60%) with a 14% ROI.
Pick: Under 8.5 (-110)

Brit Devine's Twins vs Athletics Best Bet: Back Buxton in Sacramento
By Brit Devine
Byron Buxton has cleared this line in six straight games, with four of those being multi-hit games.
We should have good hitting weather with temperatures expected to be in the 80s winds blowing out in a minor-league park that should allow the wind to have more effect than a typical MLB park. Buxton has hit lefties very well this season and opposing left-handed starter Sean Newcomb has allowed a .340 average to righties this season.
I would play this up to -140 to win two units. This is one of the best hitting spots of the day and the Twins should be able to add to the 20 runs they have already scored in this series.
Pick: Byron Buxton Over 1.5 Hits, Runs, & RBIs (-125)
