Corbin Burnes Under 7.5 Strikeouts
- Current Odds: -116 on FanDuel
There’s no doubt that Burnes is a great pitcher, but the Dodgers simply make pitchers WORK to get outs. We have seen them push the Milwaukee starters to 20+ pitches in several innings so far in this series. Freddy Peralta was only able to get through four innings on Monday despite not pitching all that poorly. I just don’t see Burnes having an upside strikeout game in this spot.
Corbin Burnes Under 18.5 pitching outs
- Current Odds: -161 on Caesars
The same logic applies as above. The Dodgers are going to make Burnes work to get outs in this game, and I think six innings is around what we should expect. Don’t expect him to pitch as deep as usual, which is why I like the under here.
Seiya Suzuki to hit a home run
- Current Odds: +575 on Caesars
If you’re looking for a longer shot home run pick today, I like Suzuki as a potential option. We have his true odds at +355, which makes this a fantastic value at +575 on Caesars. Spenser Watkins is a horrible pitcher with underwhelming splits against all types of hitters, and Suzuki could potentially showcase some power this evening.
