Chicago Cubs ML over New York Mets (+110)
The Mets (14-14) have done well to be respectable this year, but the Cubs (18-11) are simply the far superior ballclub – both on paper and on the field. Chicago won the series opener 3-1 on Monday and Tuesday’s matchup should also be favorable for the visitors. Sean Manaea is taking the mound of the Mets; it’s a tough assignment. Against left-handed pitching in 2024, the Cubs are second in wOBA with a 137 wRC+ against southpaws and their 3.95 pitches per PA ranks 7th-most in the league.
Chicago’s patience could really pay off against Manaea, who has struggled with efficiency this season. He averages the 4th-most pitches per plate appearance this season and as a result has worked no more than 5.0 innings in each of his last 4 starts. The Cubs are countering with Javier Assad, who is 2-0 with a 2.00 ERA through 5 appearances. There’s no need to overthink this one. Go, Cubs, go!

Los Angeles Angels ML over Philadelphia Phillies (+120)
The Angels and Phillies were a tale of 2 teams going in different directions heading into this series, but perhaps Monday’s opener switched up the momentum. Los Angeles, which had been on a 4-game losing streak, gave up 3 runs in the top of the first inning but battled back for a 6-5 victory. Thus ended the Phillies’ 4-game winning streak.
Tuesday’s contest figures to be a pitching duel between L.A.’s Tyler Anderson and Philadelphia’s Spencer Turnbull. It is true that Turnbull (2-0, 1.33 ERA) has been outstanding so far in 2024, but Anderson (1.78 ERA, 1.05 ERA) has been every bit as good. The Angels’ left-hander has surrendered only 2 runs through 12.0 innings of work at home so far this season. With some confidence restored and playing at home, the Halos should have a good chance in what will likely be a low-scoring affair. They have good value well into plus-money odds.
San Diego Padres -1.5 over Cincinnati Reds (+150)
There is no way to sugarcoat it; this season has been mostly miserable for the Padres. They are 14-18 and have lost 5 games in a row. That being said, Tuesday could be when they start getting back on track. Yu Darvish’s numbers aren’t spectacular in the early stages of the season, but only 1 of his 5 starts has been poor and 3 of the 5 have been quite effective. He is also extremely well rested, having not taken the mound since April 14 because of a minor neck issue. Nick Martinez is going for the Reds, who have lost 3 of their last 5 contests. Martinez is 0-1 with a 5.48 ERA after allowing 5 runs on 11 hits in 6.0 innings against Philly during his most recent outing. A multi-run victory is well within reach for SD.
