Back the Mariners (+120) against the Padres

Seattle, which leads the American League West, has won 10 of their last 12 series this season, and has won seven of the last eight games against the Padres. The Padres, second in the National League West, have won four of their past six series. Seattle will start right-hander Bryan Woo (4-1, 2.84 ERA), who is coming off a solid no-decision outing against the Yankees on Tuesday. In that game, he pitched 6.1 innings and allowed just four hits with six strikeouts. Seattle won that game 2-1.

San Diego, meanwhile, will start right-hander Michael King (4-1, 2.32 ERA). The six-year veteran is in his second year with the Padres and is coming off a good outing in a 9-5 loss to the Angels on Monday. He received a no-decision, pitching 5.2 innings and allowing four hits, three runs - two earned - and two walks with eight strikeouts. The outing before that, he also received a no-decision in a 12-3 loss to the  Yankees. In six innings, he allowed just three hits, two runs, both earned, and two walks with two strikeouts.

Go Over 8.5 runs (-115) in Mets vs. Yankees

The Mets are expected to send left-hander David Peterson (2-2, 3.05 ERA) to the mound, while the Yankees counter with left-hander Max Fried (6-0, 1.11 ERA). In two career starts, Peterson is 0-0 against the Yankees with a 6.23 ERA, while Fried is 9-5 with a 2.48 ERA in 23 career starts against the Mets. In the last 10 head-to-head meetings, the teams have combined to go over nine runs five times.

The model is projecting a combined 9.9 runs for Sunday night's game. According to the SportsLine model, five Mets batters have a 40% or better chance to score a run, including Pete Alonso, Francisco Lindor, Juan Soto, Brandon Nimmo and Starling Marte. Six Yankees have a 48% or better chance to score a run, including Aaron Judge, Cody Bellinger, Anthony Volpe, Paul Goldschmidt, Ben Rice and Trent Grisham.

Back the Reds (-130) against the Guardians

Cincinnati will look to earn the three-game sweep at home when the teams meet at Great American Ball Park. The Reds have won three in a row, including a 5-4 win over the Guardians on Friday and 4-1 on Saturday. Cleveland, meanwhile, has dropped three in a row. Cincinnati has won five of the last nine games in the series, including four of the last six on their home field.

Right-hander Luis L. Ortiz (2-4, 4.78 ERA) will get the start for the Guardians, while the Reds send left-hander Andrew Abbott (2-0, 2.10 ERA) to the hill. The model is confident the Reds will win, and is backing Cincinnati at -130 on the money line, giving it a B rating. The model's simulation average money line probability is 60%.
