Miami Marlins vs Colorado Rockies (8:40pm, EST)

Kansas City Royals First Five Innings Team Total Under 2 (-140) at BetMGM Sportsbook

It has been an abysmal year for the Colorado Rockies as they head into the final few weeks of the season with the worst record in the league by a comfortable margin.

Their low level of play on offense has played a major role in their struggles this year, as their lineup ranks near the bottom of the board in Team Total Hits, RBIs, Total Runs Scored, On Base Percentage, and in Slugger Percentage.

Unfortunately for Colorado, their struggles on offense are poised to persist against the Miami Marlins as they face off against Ryan Weathers, who is currently averaging an ERA of 2.73, a WHIP of 1.045, and a FIP of 3.99.

Especially when Weathers is surrounded by a productive back end that excels in coverage, as the Marlins’ defense ranks above league average in Defensive Efficiency.

Miami Marlins First Five Innings Moneyline (-145) at BetMGM Sportsbook

On the other side of the field, the Marlins offense will have the opportunity to get on base at a higher rate as they face off against McCade Brown, who is averaging a WHIP of 2.122.

With Miami’s offense ranking above league average in Contact Rate, expect the Marlins to exploit Brown’s lack of command and build up a sizable lead in the first five innings of their contest.

New York Yankees vs Minnesota Twins (7:40pm, EST)

Taj Bradley Under 5.5 Strikeouts (-158) at FanDuel Sportsbook

Since the start of the regular season, Taj Bradley has struggled to find his footing as the Minnesota Twins pitcher is currently averaging an ERA of 4.88 and a FIP of 4.24. His low Whiff Rate lessens his chances of keeping opposing runners off the bases, as Bradley also averages less than one Strikeout per Inning Pitched.

In Wednesday’s contest against the New York Yankees, Bradley will continue to struggle with generating Whiffs as he faces off against an offense that ranks above league average in Contact Rate and in on-base percentage while leading the league in Bases on Walks.

For some more exposure, escalator bet Bradley’s Strikeout prop by placing smaller wagers on his alternate unders at the best available odds.

Aaron Judge to Record 2+ Hits (+160) at Caesars Sportsbook

After winning the AL MVP award last season, Aaron Judge is on pace to win it for the second straight year as the Yankees batter is averaging over one Hit per game while leading the league in Batting Average and in OPS. With Bradley struggling to punch out, expect Judge to make contact at a consistent rate and clear the over on his alternate Hits prop.

Los Angeles Angels vs Milwaukee Brewers (7:40pm, EST)

Milwaukee Brewers First Five Innings Team Total Over 2 (-165) at BetMGM Sportsbook

After a slow start to the year, the Milwaukee Brewers have turned into one of the top contenders for the World Series and are on pace to secure the number one overall seed in the NL. Their resurgence on offense has helped them win at a high rate, as their lineup ranks top-3 in Contact Rate and in Total Runs Scored.

With Jose Soriano on the mound, the Brewers’ offense will have the opportunity to get off to a hot start, as the Los Angeles Angels pitcher is averaging an ERA of 4.13 and a WHIP of 1.384. The Angels’ lack of coverage also brings in a higher amount of variance into their contests as their defense ranks 26th overall in Fielding Percentage.
