Tigers vs. Red Sox (6:40 PM, EST)

Over 8 Runs (-118) at FanDuel Sportsbook

The Boston Red Sox and Detroit Tigers are two teams expected to compete for a title in October. Detroit looked stronger early in the season, with a 26-15 record. 

The Red Sox just took a series from the Royals in Kansas City, which could indicate that they’re starting to play better. However, their pitcher, Tanner Houck, is due to give up many runs. 

Houck has struggled to find the zone. He is 0-2 with a 6.10 ERA and a 1.50 WHIP. 

Houck has allowed 48 hits in 41.1 innings with just 32 strikeouts. If Houck posts his usual performance, he is due to allow runs. 

Jackson Jobe hasn’t been much better for Detroit on the mound. I anticipate Boston’s bats will also get to him in this game. 

Jobe is 2-0 but has a 4.88 ERA and a 1.48 WHIP. He doesn’t have strong strikeout ability and has walked 15 batters in 27.2 innings. 

The starting pitcher combination is making me lean over on the eight-run total in this contest.

Marlins vs. Cubs (7:40 PM, EST)

Cubs Moneyline (-235) at FanDuel Sportsbook

The Chicago Cubs lost two of three games to the Mets over the weekend and should be desperate for a victory on Monday. They have a great chance to beat the Marlins on Monday. 

Cal Quantrill will take the ball for Miami, and he has been horrendous in 2025. Quantrill is 2-3 with a 7.11 ERA and a 1.67 WHIP in 31.2 innings. 

He jas allowed 42 hits over this span with just 22 strikeouts. Colin Rea will pitch for the Cubs and is 2-0 with a 2.43 ERA and a 1.21 WHIP. 

He has surrendered just two home runs in 29.2 innings, so the Cubs' starting pitching edge should lead to a victory.

Angels vs. Padres (9:40 PM, EST)

Padres Moneyline (-220) at FanDuel Sportsbook

The Padres took two of three games from the Rockies this weekend, but they’re coming off a 9-3 loss. Even though they won the series, they had a great chance to sweep, but let a game slip away on Sunday. 

Michael King will take the ball for the Padres, and he is 4-1 with a 2.22 ERA and a 0.99 WHIP. San Diego wins when he is on the mound, and the Angels have been horrendous on the road. 

The Angels are 16-23 and 7-13 on the road this season. San Diego is also 14-4 at home, thanks to players like Fernando Tatis Jr. 

Tatis Jr. is batting .320 with nine home runs and 23 RBIs this season.
