Ben Rice to Record an RBI (+155)

The New York Yankees have been rolled by the Detroit Tigers in back-to-back games. They're in a great spot to bounce back against the Tigers' pitching combination of Tyler Holton and Sawyer Gipson-Long, which puts me on Ben Rice to drive in a run.

Rice is projected to hit fourth behind Trent Grisham, Aaron Judge and Cody Bellinger. That makes him an appealing RBI target on a lot of nights. Tonight, the Yankees are listed at +100 to go over 4.5 runs, so I like the chances for Rice to come up with runners in scoring position.

Rice is having an excellent season, producing a .407 expected wOBA and 41.9% hard-hit rate. He can take advantage of whatever RBI chances he gets.

Gavin Williams Over 17.5 Outs Recorded (+106)

The Kansas City Royals are slumping offensively, and that makes Gavin Williams an enticing target in this market.

Over the past 14 days, KC is next to last in wOBA (.270). They also have the lowest K rate in that span (17.6%). The combination of those two things should help Williams get deep into the game as it may allow him to record several quick outs.

Williams sports a 23.0% K rate and 11.5% swinging-strike rate, so he's got good stuff. But his walk rate has ballooned to 12.0% in 2025. In spite of the issues with free passes, he's completed seven frames in each of his last two starts, and he's capable of finishing six innings today.

Plus, Williams has pretty staggering home/road splits. At home, he's been outstanding, giving up a .283 wOBA with a 3.50 xFIP -- compared to a .321 wOBA and 4.98 xFIP on the road.

Edmundo Sosa to Record an RBI (+185)

Edmundo Sosa has really strong numbers against southpaws, and I'm into his long RBI odds.

Versus lefties this season, Sosa owns a .370 wOBA. He's expected to hit sixth on Thursday -- behind some of the Philadelphia Phillies' best bats.

David Peterson is getting the ball for the opposing New York Mets. Peterson has been tagged for 12 earned runs across his past two outings and has a 6.69 ERA since the start of August (36.1 innings). He also allows a much higher hard-hit rate to righties (37.8%) than lefties (26.7%).
