Washington Nationals vs. Philadelphia Phillies - Jake Irvin vs. Cristopher Sanchez (6:45 PM, EST)

Under 0.5 Run (-115) at BetMGM Sportsbook

After struggling to play at a competitive level earlier in the year, the Philadelphia Phillies offense have managed to climb back into the top half of the board in Team Total Hits, RBIs, Total Runs Scored, and in On Base Percentage. Unfortunately for Philadelphia, they are set to face off against Jake Irvin who excels at avoiding contact and keeping opposing runners off the bases as he averages less than one Hit Against per Inning Pitched and a WHIP of 1.009.

While the Phillies offense have steadily improved over the past few weeks of play, the Washington Nationals have continued to struggle as they head into Wednesday night ranked below league average in Contact Rate and in On Base Percentage. The top of their order has been severely underwhelming as only CJ Abrams averages more than one Hit per game while Luis Garcia possesses a OPS less than 0.650 and a Batting Average lower than 0.250.

Their struggles on offense are poised to persist against Philadelphia in a NL East divisional matchup as they face off against Cristopher Sanchez who generates Strikeouts at a high rate. In his five starts, Sanchez is averaging over one Strikeout per Inning Pitched, a ERA of 3.42, and a FIP of 3.67. With Washington’s offense struggling to make contact, expect Sanchez to string together a dominant outing and hold the Nats scoreless in the first inning.

Athletics vs. Texas Rangers - Luis Severino vs. Nathan Eovaldi (8:05 PM, EST)

Under 0.5 Run (-120) at BetMGM Sportsbook

It has been a rough start to the year for the Texas Rangers offense as their lineup ranks near the bottom of the board in Team Total Hits, RBIs, Total Runs Scored, and On Base Percentage. A stunning low level of play for a unit who was expected to play a major role in their ability to compete for the AL West division title. Even with Wyatt Langford back from injury, the Rangers have still struggled to remain competitive in their contests as they are 4-6 in their last 10 games.

Expect the Rangers offense to continue to struggle against the Athletics as they face off against Luis Severino who avoids contact at a consistent rate. Since the start of the season, Severino is averaging less than one Hit Against per Inning Pitched, an ERA of 3.49, a WHIP of 1.086, and a FIP of 3.92. Even when receiving minimal support from his defense, Severino still excels at keeping opposing runners off the bases with his own individual production on the mound.

On the other side of the field, Nathan Eovaldi has the opportunity to sustain his high level of play as he faces off against an Athletics offense who struggles with getting into scoring position. An area where Eovaldi thrives as the Rangers pitcher currently leads the AL in WHIP with an average of 0.736 per game. Eovaldi also receives a high level of support from his back end as the Rangers defense ranks ninth overall in Defensive Efficiency.
