Taj Bradley OVER 5.5 Strikeouts (+120), bet365 (Wager: 1 unit to win 1.2 units)
The Rays starting pitcher has shown an ability to strike out batters at the MLB level.
In 49 innings pitched this year, Bradley has 71 strikeouts.
In his past two outings, he has fanned a total of 19 batters.
Tuesday, he’ll face an Arizona Diamondbacks team which has the third-lowest strikeout rate against RHP. However, I do think that their unfamiliarity with Bradley will help out the Rays rookie.
Bradley has failed to go under six strikeouts in only two of his 10 starts this year.
I’m willing to bet on the rookie at plus money.

Connor Seabold OVER 3.5 Earned Runs (-115), DraftKings (Wager: 1.15 units to win 1 unit)
Since becoming a starter for the Rockies on May 4, Seabold owns a 6.07 ERA in nine starts.
In his previous outing against the high-powered Atlanta Braves, he gave up nine earned runs in just three innings of work and also allowed four home runs.
It won’t get any easier for Seabold as he returns home to the hitter-friendly Coors Field to take on the Los Angeles Dodgers.
On the season, the Dodgers have the 10th-best wRC+ (110) vs. RHP.
The over/under total for this game is as high as 12 at some sports books, so Vegas expects plenty of runs from the Los Angeles side of things as they also come in as a -283 favourite.
It’s setting up to be a tough night at the office for Seabold.
James Outman OVER 1.5 Total Bases (+100), bet365 (Wager: 1 unit to win 1 unit)
If we think Seabold is going to get rocked in this game, someone on the Dodgers is going to have to do the damage.
A lot of the Dodgers’ prices are inflated because of the matchup and hitting environment in Colorado, so we have to look for some value and Outman fits the bill.
The Dodgers outfielder has been slightly above league average vs. RHP this season, sporting a 102 wRC+. However, he has shown some extra-base power with a .210 ISO.
Seabold has been hit hard by lefty bats this season, giving up a .496 SLG% on the year and a .492 SLG% at home to lefties.
