St. Louis Cardinals at Miami Marlins

Miami Marlins -120 (FanDuel)

The Marlins have been an excellent home team this season going 25-16 and I like this matchup for Braxton Garrett. Without looking on paper, I'd assume with Paul Goldschmidt and Nolan Arenadothat the Cardinals have destroyed left-handed pitching this season but that hasn't been the case. The Cardinals have the fifth-worst wOBA (.290) on the road against lefties and their 24.5 percent strikeout rate is the 10th-worst as well. Meanwhile, the Marlins face Miles Mikolas (4.44 ERA) and have had good success this season against southpaws. Miami has the fourth-best wOBA (.343) against left-handed pitching this season and their 20.3 percent strikeout rate is the fifth-best in baseball. It's worth noting that Garrett Cooper has gone 4-for-9 against Mikolas with a home run in a small sample.

Baltimore Orioles at New York Yankees

Domingo German Under 5.5 Strikeouts (-135 DraftKings)

If you agree with me on this prop I'd grab it sooner than later given that it's -152 on other sites. German is coming off a historic performance with a perfect game and he's been pretty much hit-or-miss the entire season. He has four or more earned runs in six of his 15 starts and there were two other starts where he pitched only three innings in each for a total of one earned run. He's gone under this number of strikeouts in seven of his last nine starts and I think too many people will be on his overs in general tonight given his latest outing.
