Braves @ Phillies
More or Less Contest
Zack Wheeler more than 7.5 strikeouts and Ian Anderson more than 5.5 strikeouts
Wheeler has been a strikeouts machine as he now has gone over this total in four straight starts and five of his previous six starts. He gets a juicy matchup in this one also as the Braves are striking out at a rate of 29.6% vs. right-handers over the previous 10 days, which is ranked worst in baseball over that span. Wheeler has also faced these Braves twice on the season and collected a 10 strikeout performance in one of them.
Ian Anderson is typically good for six strikeouts as he has reached this total in eight starts on the season and has reached it in each of his previous three starts. The Phillies are posting a K rate of 27% vs. righties over the previous 10 days, which is ranked eighth-worst in baseball over that span. Anderson has also faced these Phillies three times on the season and has gone over the total each and every time.

Astros @ Red Sox
More or Less Contest
Eduardo Rodriguez less than 5.5 strikeouts and Zack Greinke less than 4.5 strikeouts
Rodriguez has a tough matchup in this one against the Astros who are only striking out at a rate of just 15.2% against left-handers over the previous 10 days, which is ranked the best in baseball. They are also walking at a 9.1% clip and posting a wRC+ of 139, so trouble could be in store for E Rod in this one. He also just faced these Astros in Houston over Memorial Day Weekend and managed to strike out just four.
Zack Greinke has had a couple of solid K performances on the season, but he is not a strikeout pitcher for the most part. He has gone under this total in his previous two starts as well. The Red Sox have dropped their K rate to 23.3% vs. righties over the previous 10 days and could make it tough for Greinke to get over the hump in this one.

Blue Jays @ White Sox
More or Less Contest
Hyun-Jin Ryu more than 5.5 strikeouts and Dallas Keuchel less than 3.5 strikeouts
Ryu has been superb in 2021 and has gone over this total in five of his previous six games. The White Sox have also struggled vs. left-handers lately as they are posting the worst K rate over the previous 10 days with a rate of nearly 40%.
While the Blue Jays have struggled recently against lefties, the sample size is very small and they actually have the fifth-best rate against lefties since the beginning of May with a rate of just 21.8%. Keuchel has also only reached four strikeouts in three of 11 starts on the season. This feels like a great spot to play him under as well.
