Gunnar Henderson To Record An RBI (+150)

The Baltimore Orioles (15-30) may be in the trenches, but at least Gunnar Henderson has had a productive month or so.

Henderson has logged eight RBIs across his last nine games and is generating a .294 ISO and 142 wRC+ the past two weeks. This season, he's torching righties with a .310 BA, .290 ISO. and 169 wRC+. He's moved to the third spot in Baltimore's batting order after starting the year in the leadoff slot, and the new lineup change has him primed to bat in a run against the right-handed Quinn Priester this evening.

Priester has posted a 4.59 ERA, 5.03 xFIP, 5.37 SIERA, and 15.5% strikeout rate through six starts. He's coughing up a .246 ISO, .509 SLG, 39.1% fly-ball rate, and 1.80 home runs per nine innings to left-handed hitters, making this a smash spot for Henderson.

The left-handed (and red-hot) Jackson Holliday is projected to bat leadoff for the O's, and we can look for him to be in scoring position by the time Henderson walks up to the plate. With that, we can consider Jackson Holliday to Record a Run (-115), too.

Kyle Schwarber To Record An RBI (-110)

Kyle Schwarber vs. Kyle Freeland at Coors Field is the definition of a dream matchup.

Schwarber has hit 15 home runs (tied for second-most in MLB) and 35 RBIs through 46 games. He's dominating the lefty-on-lefty matchup to the tune of a .305 BA, .407 ISO, .712 SLG, 213 wRC+, and a 48.8% fly-ball rate. Pit him against a vulnerable southpaw at Coors, and the results should be exciting.

Freeland has allowed 17 ER through 15 2/3 IP at home this season, which works out to an eye-popping 9.77 ERA. He flashes a 3.40 xFIP in this split, proving just how hard it can be for throwers to escape Coors. Notably, he's allowed 1.93 home runs per nine innings to left-handed hitters in Colorado.

Our MLB projections forecast Schwarbs to record a slate-leading 1.15 RBIs in this one, suggesting decent value in these -110 odds.

Kris Bubic Over 5.5 Strikeouts (+110)

Kris Bubic is wheeling and dealing this season. He's given up just one run across his last 18 1/3 frames and his 1.66 ERA is good for the fifth-best in baseball.

More importantly, he's finding the strike zone. He's collected 16 Ks over his last two starts and a sustainable 25.6% strikeout rate sets him up for success against the San Francisco Giants tonight.

San Fran strikes out at a 24.6% rate (ninth-highest in MLB) versus lefties. They show middling marks against this handedness otherwise, including a .293 wOBA (17th) and 86 wRC+ (15th).

Bubic has crawled over 5.5 strikeouts in 6 out of 9 starts, missing by the hook once. These +110 odds imply only a 47.6% probability, which seems like an underestimation of how Bubic could perform in this matchup. While a 3.15 xERA suggests Bubic's stellar ERA is bound to come a bit back down to earth at some point, the strikeouts should stick in a friendly matchup.

Our Jim Sannes is in line as he lists Bubic as one of today's best strikeout bets.
