Pablo López UNDER 5.5 Strikeouts - Miami Marlins vs. Los Angeles Dodgers

I'm not sure what we are seeing here.

López has gone under this mark in seven of his last ten starts as his production has fallen off a cliff. Now he faces the best offense in baseball against the Dodgers that have knocked around Marlins pitchers outside of Sandy Alcantara all weekend, scoring eight runs and 10 runs. 

LA is hitting .286 in the month of August and striking out at the 12th-lowest rate. Expect balls in play and more struggles on the way from López  – Reed Wallach

Dylan Bundy OVER 3.5 Strikeouts - Minnesota Twins vs. Boston Red Sox

Bundy is nowhere near the high-throwing early first round draft pick from many moons ago, but 3.5 is a very reasonable number for him to clear; especially given how the splits work out in his favor.

Sure, his strikeout numbers are slight down at home compared to the road, but he's been far superior at home this year. At Target Field, he owns a 2.68 ERA with a .207 batting average against, compared to a 5.66 ERA and .283 BAA away from home.

But here's where the splits really matter.

Bundy faces a very right-handed dominant Red Sox lineup, and facing right-handers at home has been where he's at his most effective. His strikeouts per nine jump by almost two, going from 5.80 at home vs. both LHBs and RHBs to 7.52 vs. right-handers.

Boston ranks middle-of-the-pack in strikeouts this season, but are eighth-highest in the majors over the last week. Bundy's confidence at home is clear, and given the matchup vs. plenty of right-handed bats, I'll back him at very good odds to deliver. – Ben Heisler
