MLB SGP Bets for Tuesday 7/23/24

St. Louis Cardinals at Pittsburgh Pirates

Paul Skenes to Record 7+ Strikeouts (-215)
Oneil Cruz to Record 2+ Total Bases (-105)
Bryan Reynolds to Record a Run (-160)

Combined Odds: +329

Paul Skenes has been absolutely electric for the Pittsburgh Pirates through his first 11 starts, ranking in the 96th percentile in xERA (2.61), 90th percentile in xBA (.205), 97th percentile in strikeout rate (34.9%), and 89th percentile in walk rate (5.1%).

Before being named the starting pitcher for the National League during the All-Star Game, Skenes had tallied seven-plus Ks in 10 of his 11 outings -- including each of his last eight. While the St. Louis Cardinals have the 12th-lowest strikeout rate (21.7%) against right-handed pitching over the last 30 days, they are posting the 8th-highest CSW percentage (28.3%) this season.

Lance Lynn is set to take the mound for the Cardinals on Tuesday, and he's permitting a .354 wOBA, 1.57 WHIP, and 1.61 HR/9 to lefties. Taking those metrics into account, Oneil Cruz is an ideal batter to target from the Pirates.

Cruz has been swinging a hot bat recently, registering two-plus bases in three of his last five contests. Along with Cruz, Bryan Reynolds should have a decent number of opportunities to cross home plate.

Reynolds will be swinging from the left side with Lynn on the bump, and he's sporting a .374 wOBA, 142 wRC+, and .216 ISO versus right-handed pitching this year while scoring a run in four of his last five appearances.

With Cruz sitting in the 98th percentile in barrel rate (18.9%) and hard-hit rate (55.3%), it's worth noting he is carrying the shortest odds to hit a home run in this Cardinals-Pirates clash on Dinger Tuesday.

New York Mets at New York Yankees

Jose Quintana Under 4.5 Strikeouts (-170)
Luis Gil Under 6.5 Strikeouts (-156)
Aaron Judge to Record an RBI (-105)

Combined Odds: +377

The New York Mets and New York Yankees will square off in the Subway Series, and I'll be fading both starting pitchers on Tuesday. Jose Quintana isn't much of a strikeout pitcher as he's in the 18th percentile in whiff rate (21.0%) and 20th percentile in strikeout rate (18.1%) across 19 starts in 2024.

Besides boasting the 14th-lowest strikeout rate (21.6%) versus southpaws, the Yankees have the highest walk rate (11.5%) in the split, which is largely due to Juan Soto. Quintana has walked multiple batters in five of his last eight starts, so he could get in trouble if he continues to issue free passes.

Meanwhile, Luis Gil has seemingly found his footing again in recent starts following a rough stretch in late June and early July. At the same time, the Mets are recording the second-best wOBA (.351), second-best wRC+ (132), second-best ISO (.222), and sixth-lowest strikeout rate (19.4%) against right-handed pitching in the last 30 days.

Aaron Judge is crushing lefties to the tune of a .510 wOBA, 241 wRC+, and .425 ISO while he's logged at least one RBI in four of his last seven games, totaling six RBIs during that span. The hard-hitting righty also has multiple hits in three of his last four contests, so he is seeing the ball well recently.

Ahead of another Dinger Tuesday, Judge is being given the shortest odds to hit a home run at Yankee Stadium in the first game of the Subway Series.

Boston Red Sox at Colorado Rockies

Tyler O'Neill to Record an RBI (-125)
Ezequiel Tovar to Record an RBI (+135)

Combined Odds: +319

Whenever Tyler O'Neill is facing a mediocre or below-average lefty, it's usually worth targeting him for props.

O'Neill and the Boston Red Sox will be taking on Ty Blach and the Colorado Rockies at Coors Field after O'Neill went 3-for-5 with a double on Monday.

On the season, O'Neill is rocking a .446 wOBA, 188 wRC+, and .318 ISO versus left-handed pitchers. Even though O'Neill has tallied an RBI in only one of his last seven games, Blach is giving up a .426 wOBA, 1.93 WHIP, and 1.56 HR/9 to righties this season.

As for the Rockies, Ezequiel Tovar is swinging a hot bat, and he faces Cooper Criswell, who is showing reverse splits on the mound.

Aside from Tovar notching at least one RBI in four straight contests -- totaling nine RBIs during that span -- Criswell is allowing a .351 wOBA, 1.38 WHIP, and 1.73 HR/9 to righties.

In Tuesday's Red Sox-Rockies showdown, O'Neill has the shortest odds to hit a home run while Tovar is lumped in the middle of the same market with other batters.
