Christian Yelich To Record An RBI (+130)

Christian Yelich had a fun weekend, logging seven hits and four RBIs in a three-game sweep over the Washington Nationals. The red-hot Milwaukee Brewers are averaging a whopping 9.7 runs across the last six games, and a date with Erick Fedde figures to keep their momentum alive.

Fedde enters with a 5.33 ERA, 5.79 expected ERA, 5.26 xFIP, 5.42 SIERA, and a 14.2% strikeout rate. His xFIP and SIERA are each good for the second-worst in MLB among hurlers who have tossed at least 100 frames this season.

The northpaw has been rocked for an eye-popping 30 earned runs and 9 home runs across his last six starts (22 1/3 IP) -- owning a 12.09 ERA, 6.28 xFIP, and a measly 9.7% strikeout rate in this stretch.

Safe to say he's in poor form heading into this one, and he coughs up a .505 SLG and 1.93 home runs per nine innings to left-handed hitters.

The left-handed Yelich, meanwhile, is producing a .281 BA, .237 ISO, and .519 SLG versus RHPs this season. He's been even better with a .340 BA and .576 SLG on the road in the split.

Yeli leads the Brewers with 73 RBIs (tied for 12th-most in MLB) and is expected to bat cleanup tonight. There's plenty working in his favor -- enough for me to see value in backing these +130 odds.

Romy Gonzalez To Record An RBI (+115)

The Boston Red Sox will face a left-handed hurler on Monday night, which means it's Romy Gonzalez time.

Gonzalez only gets the nod when it's a lefty on the other side, and he's been absolutely crushing in this split to the tune of a .337 BA, .326 ISO, and 182 wRC+ this season. He touts a 24.4% barrel rate, 73.2% hard-hit rate, and .367 ISO across the past 30 days (66 plate appearances).

There's a reason Romy's got 36 RBIs to his name despite starting just 45 games this season, and we should like his outlook against Bailey Falter.

Falter is making his first start since being traded to the Kansas City Royals, and negative regression could haunt him at an inopportune time. The lefty's 3.73 ERA is made worse by a 4.55 expected ERA, 4.93 xFIP, 5.11 SIERA, and only a 15.3% strikeout rate. He coughs up a 46.0% fly-ball rate and 1.44 home runs per nine innings to right-handed hitters.

Projected to bat cleanup, Gonzalez is a prime candidate to notch an RBI tonight. His +450 home run odds could be worth a look, too.

Francisco Lindor To Record 2+ Total Bases (+110)

The New York Mets have dropped five of their last six games but are -196 to beat Slade Cecconi and the Cleveland Guardians tonight.

Cecconi's 3.77 ERA is due to regress in the wrong direction thanks to a 4.99 expected ERA. The righty has offered left-handed hitters kind results this season, including a .260 BA, .488 SLG, and 1.91 home runs per nine innings. He also walks this handedness at just a 6.6% rate, which could give way to Francisco Lindor logging a pair of bases tonight.

A switch-hitter, Lindor is generating a .299 BA, .524 SLG, and 147 wRC+ versus righties at home this season. He's recorded 42 extra-base hits this year (second-most on the team), and 17 of those came against a RHP at home.

If the Mets force Cecconi to stare regression in the face, Lindor figures to get in on the action. It helps that New York's second hitter in the lineup is a candidate to notch north of four at-bats tonight.
