New York Yankees vs. Texas Rangers - Cam Schlittler vs. Jacob deGrom (8:05 PM, EST)

With Jacob deGrom on the mound, expect the New York Yankees to struggle to advance their runners by making contact, lowering their chances of scoring.

Under 0.5 Run (-145) at BetMGM Sportsbook

After going 8-2 in their last ten games, the New York Yankees have been able to reclaim the top spot in the AL East division standings, possessing a 1.5 game lead for first as of writing. While their offense has been able to thrive during that span, the Yankees have shockingly struggled to make contact, ranking 22nd overall in Hit Rate. Despite these contact issues, oddsmakers remain confident in the team's ability to maintain their lead, as the current AL East odds still favor the Bronx Bombers as the clear frontrunners to take the division title.

Unfortunately for the Yankees, their struggles with barreling up the ball are poised to persist against the Texas Rangers, battling it out against Jacob deGrom who is averaging less than one Hit Against and more than one Strikeout per Inning Pitched. Especially with his back end excelling in coverage, fielding a group who ranks in the top-10 in Fielding Percentage.

On the other side of the field, Cam Schlittler is projected to get the start on the mound, bringing with him a surgical arm who is averaging a league leading WHIP of 0.729 and a FIP of 1.53. With the Rangers ranking well below league average in Contact Rate, On Base Percentage, and in OPS, expect Schlittler to get off to a hot start and keep a clean sheet in the first inning.

Los Angeles Angels vs. Chicago White Sox - Jose Soriano vs. Davis Martin (7:40 PM, EST)

With the Chicago White Sox severely struggling on offense, expect Jose Soriano to put together a dominant performance and remain in contention for the AL Cy Young award. Following a historic April start where he allowed just one earned run over his first 37.2 innings, his current AL Cy Young odds place him firmly among the top favorites.

Under 0.5 Run (-125) at BetMGM Sportsbook

Since the start of the regular season, Jose Soriano’s odds of winning the AL Cy Young award have skyrocketed, averaging an ERA of 0.24, a WHIP of 0.823, and a FIP of 2.22. Soriano’s success on the mound stems from his Whiff Rate, averaging more than one Strikeout per inning.

Heading into Tuesday night, expect Soriano to strengthen his claim for the award by exploiting a Chicago White Sox lineup who ranks below league average in Hit Rate, RBIs, Runs Scored, and in On Base Percentage. Even with his back end struggling in coverage, Soriano’s individual production will force them into low quality contact scenarios, lowering the probability he gets burned by an error.

Like the White Sox, the Angels have also struggled with making contact at a consistent rate, slipping down into the bottom half of the board in Hit Rate. With Davis Martin projected to get the nod, expect the Angels to get off to a slow start, battling it out against an arm who is averaging an ERA of 2.01 and less than one Hit per Inning Pitched.
