Indians @ Blue Jays
More or Less Contest
Triston McKenzie less than 5.5 strikeouts and Ross Stripling less than 5.5 strikeouts
McKenize has a very tough matchup tonight against the Toronto Blue Jays as they are posting the fourth-best K rate against right-handers over the previous 10 days with a rate of just 18.0%. They are also posting a wRC+ mark of 121, which is very strong. McKenzie has struggled to put away good teams as noted by the fact he only managed to strike out two White Sox in his previous start and just three Houston Astros on July 20th. This game has the makings of a disaster for McKenzie.
While the Indians are striking out at a clip of 26.1% vs. right-handers over the previous 10 days, they have been better on the season with a rate of 24.1%. Stripling has only gone over this total in one of his previous six starts.

Braves @ Cardinals
More or Less Contest
Touki Toussaint more than 4.5 strikeouts and Wade LeBlanc less than 3.5 strikeouts
Touki has gone over this total in all three of his starts and managed to strike out 10 Phillies on July 25th, so the strikeouts stuff is definitely there. He will be facing a tough Cardinals team that is posting a K rate of nearly 22% over the previous 10 days, but that should be high enough for him to get over the total. The Cardinals are also posting just an 85 wRC+ mark, which should help Touki stay in the game a bit longer.
LeBlanc has gone over this total just once in his six starts this season and that was when he struck out five Reds on July 23rd. He will be facing the Atlanta Braves in this one who are posting a K rate of just 22.9% against left-handed pitchers over the previous 10 days. They also just faced Cardinals' left-hander, J.A. Happ last night and he only managed to mow down four Braves and he has higher strikeout upside than that of LeBlanc.
