Baltimore has not favored well against lefties thus far in the season. They’re hitting .168 against them with a .484 OPS as well. The Nationals also are facing a lefty, and they haven’t been hitting well either, .229 average as a team. Mackenzie Gore has pitched well at home, 1.50 ERA in 12 innings while Cade Povich has the same ERA on the road, but in a small sample size of six innings. The game has gone under the total in six of the eight meetings between these two.

Over the last seven days, Toronto has been hitting .204 as a team with four of their last six games failing to reach nine runs. The Astros have been hitting better of late, but still only hitting .232 against righties on the year. Houston’s Ryan Gusto owns a 4.15 home ERA but is backed by the 4th best bullpen, currently, with a 2.80 ERA. Nine of the last 12 meetings between these two have also gone under the total.

Detroit is only hitting .221 as a team against left handers thus far. Cole Ragans owns a 1.42 road ERA in 12.2 innings and backed by a middle of the pack bullpen in the AL. The Royals offense has been struggling to start the season, hitting .207 as a team and Detroit’s Jackson Jobe has found success in his last two starts, 1.63 ERA in 11 innings.

New York’s Clarke Schmidt makes his season debut against a Royals lineup that has not been off to a good start offensively. Kansas City is hitting .184 on the road thus far and have only scored more than four runs twice in their six road games of the season. The Yankees bats have cooled off, hitting .234 over their last seven days and go up against Kris Bubic who’s only allowed two earned runs in 12 innings on the road. These are also two of the better bullpens in the AL to this point.

New York’s Clay Holmes own a 2.89 road ERA thus far and takes on a Twins team that is only hitting .236 at home. Six of the last seven games for Minnesota has seen less than eight runs and Joe Ryan has a good track record this Mets lineup. Despite how powerful this New York could be, they’re off to a slower start offensively this season, hitting .215 as a team so far. Both starters are backed by two of the best bullpens in the league as well.

San Diego is 5-5 in their last 10 in terms of the over/under. However, the Athletics have seen nine runs, or more, in seven straight and are still winless at home. Even though they have yet to win a game at home, there have been nine runs, or more, in each of those four games. San Diego is only hitting .257 against left handers but Jeffrey Springs comes off four earned runs to the Cubs in his last outing and San Diego has just as much power throughout their lineup. The Athletics bullpen also currently own the AL’s worst ERA, 6.08.

This early in the season and we got the lowest total yet. Tampa Bay is hitting .167 against lefties thus far and even though Justin Steele has had difficulty with his control to the year, this is a favorable matchup for him. The Cubs have a powerful lineup but are still only hitting .196 at home. Nathan Eovaldi attacks the strike zone and has yet to walk a batter this season. The temperature at Wrigley will be in the 30s with 20 MPH winds blowing in.

The first two games of this series went under the total. The weather is calling for the winds to be blowing in around first pitch with cooler temperatures than the first two games. New York is still struggling to hit as a team, despite winning three straight, .191 average overall. The Blue Jays don’t have the deepest lineup and are only hitting .209 on the road in their last two. In their nine times this two teams have played, the under is 6-2-1.

The Mets currently own the lowest team batting average in the league at .184. Toronto was shut out yesterday but have former Met Chris Bassitt on the hill today, only allowing one earned run in 13.3 innings against his former team. Both teams are middle of the pack in terms of OPS with runners in scoring position and these two are a combined 10-5 to the under to start the season.

New York finally returns home after a six-game road trip to start the season. This Blue Jays lineup has struggled against Tylor Megill in their careers, .206 overall batting average. In his career, Kevin Gausman owns a 5.40 ERA against New York and is backed by a bullpen with a 5.47 ERA thus far. The Mets bats haven’t been great to begin the season, .188 average, but they may wake up in their home opener with a favorable pitching matchup.

Cincinnati has been shutout in back-to-back games, and they’ve scored four runs, or fewer, in five of their six games. The Brewers are hitting .220 as a team against left-handed pitching this season and only averaging four runs per game thus far. Milwaukee’s Nestor Cortes allowed eight runs in two innings in his first outing of the season but now faces a Reds lineup only hitting .148 against lefties as well.

These two teams combined for 32 runs in their first two games of this series. Chicago is hitting .273 as a team on the road and have a favorable matchup against Jeffrey Springs, who just had a great outing in Seattle, a very pitcher friendly ballpark. Jameson Taillon allowed six runs to the Diamondbacks, on the road, in his first outing of the season and even though the Athletics lineup isn’t as potent as Arizona’s, they’re still hitting .261 as a team at home.

The public is all over Los Angeles and for good reason. The Braves are now without Jurickson Profar who was suspended for using PEDs. They’re also still without Ronald Acuna Jr. and their offense has only scored eight total runs to begin the season. Chris Sale has been impressive against this lineup in this career, holding them to a .219 average. However, Atlanta is hitting .036 as a team to begin the season and the Dodgers have plenty of hitters to get the victory at home.

Kansas City’s lineup has yet to face Elvin Rodirguez in their careers. The Brewers are off to an 0-3 start on the year and only have one player who has faced Kris Bubic in their careers as well. Each is hitting below .227 to begin the season and the weather is cold with up to 15 MPH wind gusts.

The first two games of the series went over the total. These two have played three times in New York this season, with two of three going under the total in much warmer weather. Both teams are hitting .200 with a similar OPS', in the .630s, this postseason. Walker Buehler owns a 6.53 road ERA while Luis Severino owns a 2.96 home ERA. Each lineup can produce runs quickly, but with the cold weather, nine MPH winds and possible wind gusts of 17 to 20 MPH during the game, there’s a reason this total continues to creep lower.
