Bet Labs' Mets vs Red Sox Best Bet: Weather Suggests Under Play
By Bet Labs
Fenway Park is traditionally a hitter-friendly stadium, but when wind blows inward, it significantly suppresses offensive output — particularly fly balls that would otherwise clear the Green Monster or drop in for extra-base hits.
In games played at Fenway with inward wind conditions, both regular and postseason data show that the totals are often set too high. That creates a profitable contrarian angle, so we can take advantage of this weather-based edge, which isn't always fully baked into the market.
Pick: Under 9 (-110)

Will Priester's Braves vs Nationals Best Bet: Back Strider
By Will Priester
Washington has been a pesky team, but I want to hop on some of these achievable lines for Spencer Strider before they start coming in at 6.5-8.5 strikeouts.
Strider is still one of the most electric pitchers in baseball and could easily get to six if he's dialed in. This is more of a strategy play due to the lower strikeout number that Strider's receiving today.
Pick: Spencer Strider Over 5.5 Strikeouts (-105)

Will Priester's Phillies vs Rockies Best Bet: Trust Luzardo, Fade Rockies
By Will Priester
This is a wash, rinse and repeat situation for me.
The Rockies continue to strike out at an incredibly high clip, so getting plus money on Jesus Luzardo in this spot feels like a gift. Yes, we are asking for seven strikeouts, but I think this is extremely doable and worth the cost of admission.
Pick: Jesus Luzardo Over 6.5 Strikeouts (+128)
