Phillies @ Nationals
More or Less Contest
Zack Wheeler less than 7.5 strikeouts and Patrick Corbin less than 4.5 strikeouts
While Wheeler has been solid in terms of K rate this season, but the Nationals are posting a K rate of just 17.6% vs. right-handers over the previous 10 days, which ranks second-best in baseball. Wheeler has failed to go over this total in three of his previous four starts, one of which was against these Nationals where he only managed to strike out five. He has also faced the Nationals four times this season and gone under the prop in three of those four games.
This number is a tad high on Corbin as he has failed to go over this total in his five previous starts. One of these starts was against the Phillies in which he only managed to strike out two batters. The Phillies have also been solid against left-handed pitchers lately as they are posting the best K rate against them over the previous 10 days with a rate of just 11.7% while also posting a wRC+ of 149.

Indians @ Blue Jays
More or Less Contest
Hyun-Jin Ryu less than 5.5 strikeouts and Zach Plesac less than 4.5 strikeouts
Ryu will be facing the Indians who have been superb against left-handed pitching lately as noted by the fact Robbie Ray only managed to strike out four through six innings pitched in their matchup yesterday. They are posting a K rate of just 19.1% over the previous 10 days, which is ranked ninth-best in baseball. Ryu has also failed to go over this total in all but one start since June 4th.
The Blue Jays have been solid against right-handed pitching as noted by their K rate of just 20% over the previous 10 days. They are also posting a wRC+ mark of 119, which could be trouble for Plesac as he tends to live inside the strike zone. He has also failed to reach this prop total in seven consecutive starts dating back to May 13th.
