Miami Marlins vs. Philadelphia Phillies 6:40 PM ET

Otto Lopez Over 1.5 Hits+Runs+RBIs (-101 per DraftKings)

Today marks the start of a three-game NL East series between the Miami Marlins and Philadelphia Phillies. Miami enters the series fresh off an impressive road series victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates, and Otto Lopez played a major role in that success.

Lopez contributed in the run column in two of the three games against Pittsburgh and has been one of the hottest hitters in baseball recently. He has cleared the 1.5 Hits + Runs + RBIs mark in each of his last five games and in nine of his last ten overall.

On the season, Lopez is batting .343 with a .481 slugging percentage. He’s been even better in June, hitting .396 with a .566 slugging percentage. Tonight’s matchup will be a challenge, as the Phillies hand the ball to ace Zack Wheeler, who owns a 2.22 ERA and a 0.85 WHIP through 56.2 innings this season.

Despite Wheeler’s dominance, Lopez has handled him well in previous meetings, batting .417 with a 1.045 OPS across 12 career at-bats. When facing an ace, teams need their best hitters to step up, and Lopez has undoubtedly been Miami’s most reliable offensive weapon entering this series.

Zack Wheeler Over 6.5 Strikeouts (+109 per DraftKings)

Phillies ace Zack Wheeler takes the mound for his 10th start of the season and his second outing against Miami. As mentioned above, Wheeler has been outstanding this year, pairing a 2.22 ERA with 53 strikeouts over 56.2 innings pitched.

He has recorded seven or more strikeouts in just three of his nine starts this season, which explains why this prop is available at plus money. While Miami is not one of the league’s most strikeout-prone offenses, Wheeler has consistently found success against this lineup.

Earlier this season in Miami, Wheeler recorded eight strikeouts against the Marlins. Last year, he faced them once and piled up an impressive 13 punchouts. With the game being played at Citizens Bank Park and Wheeler continuing to pitch at an elite level, this looks like another strong opportunity for him to rack up strikeouts.

James Wood Over 1.5 Total Bases (+104 Per DraftKings)

The Washington Nationals are riding plenty of momentum after securing their third consecutive series victory, most recently taking down the division-leading Seattle Mariners. One of the biggest reasons for that success has been the bat of James Wood.

Wood has been outstanding in June, batting .326 with a .609 slugging percentage. He has recorded multiple total bases in four of his last five games and five of his last ten overall.

Tonight he’ll face Mitch Spence, who is making just his second major league appearance of the season after spending most of the year in Triple-A. While Spence has some experience as both a starter and reliever, he’s still working his way back into a big-league role.

The matchup heavily favors Wood, who has thrived both at home and against right-handed pitching. At Nationals Park this season, he’s batting .299 with a .619 slugging percentage. Against right-handers, he’s hitting .291 with a .593 slugging percentage.

Given his recent form and the uncertainty surrounding Spence’s role and workload, this feels like a strong opportunity for Wood to continue his hot streak and clear the 1.5 total bases mark.

New York Mets vs. Cincinnati Reds 7:10 PM ET

Bo Bichette Over 1.5 Hits+Runs+RBIs (-129 per DraftKings)

The Mets come into tonight’s matchup with some renewed confidence after an impressive series victory over the NL East-leading Atlanta Braves. While New York still sits below .500, that series win could provide a much-needed spark as the season approaches its midpoint.

Bo Bichette has been a major contributor lately, batting .333 with a .625 slugging percentage through the month of June. He has surpassed 1.5 Hits + Runs + RBIs in four of his last five games and continues to be one of the more consistent bats in the Mets lineup.

The challenge tonight is Reds ace Chase Burns, who has been excellent this season. That said, Burns has not been working particularly deep into games recently, going just 5.1 innings in two of his last three starts. That could provide additional opportunities against Cincinnati’s bullpen later in the game.

Bichette has faced Burns once before, going 1-for-3, and he has actually been slightly better away from home this season, batting .248 with a .366 slugging percentage on the road.

With New York carrying momentum into this series and Bichette swinging the bat well, he has a solid chance to continue his productive stretch and contribute across multiple statistical categories tonight.
