SourcePick Ideas
Yankees moneyline backed by elite run prevention
The Yankees profile as the stronger moneyline side at home, backed by Schlittler's strong 2026 performance and superior run prevention.
First five innings under leaning on both starters
A low-scoring first half is supported by Schlittler allowing one earned run or fewer in half of his last 10 starts.
Cardinals +1.5 run line tied to McGreevy game results
St. Louis is 3-7 in their last 10 games, making the +1.5 run line risky despite McGreevy's ability to keep games close when at his best.
Yankees team total over fueled by sustained scoring edge
The Yankees' scoring edge in 2024 supports New York to clear its team total against a contact-oriented starter like McGreevy.
Schlittler strikeout prop over riding double-digit K rate
With a 10.9 strikeout-per-nine rate this season, Schlittler's bat-missing ability justifies an aggressive stance on his strikeout prop.
