Jose Ramirez To Record an RBI (+135)

Jose Ramirez has smacked a double, triple, and home run across three games since the All-Star break. He has a team-leading 52 RBIs to his name this season. Will he add to his count in an inviting matchup opposite Tomoyuki Sugano?

Sugano coughed up a whopping 16 earned runs in his final three starts heading into the break. Even still, the underlying numbers suggest he is due for a worse fate in the second half. He keeps a 4.44 ERA but owns a threatening 5.80 expected ERA and only a 14.0% strikeout rate.

The righty coughs up a .485 SLG and 2.12 home runs per nine innings to left-handed hitters. Moreover, he walks (5.1%) and strikes out (12.4%) this handedness at incredibly low rates.

With that, we can look for Ramirez to put the ball in play tonight. The switch-hitter shows stronger marks against lefties but still puts up a .233 ISO, .506 SLG, 48.1% fly-ball rate, and just a 12.2% K% versus RHP.

Batting third, Ramirez is in a prime spot to knock in a run. It doesn't hurt that leadoff hitter Angel Martinez has managed a .425 wOBA across his last 50 plate appearances.

Kyle Stowers To Record an RBI (+160)

Kyle Stowers is one of our breakout stars for 2025. He was recently named to his first All-Star team and even hit a jack in the game's home run swing-off finale.

He leads the Miami Marlins in batting average (.295), home runs (21), and runs batted in (59). The lefty has thrived when offered the platoon advantage, sporting a .296 BA, .607 SLG, and 167 wRC+ versus right-handed pitchers. In fact, his slugging percentage is good for the sixth-best in the majors in the split.

Heading into a date with a lost Randy Vasquez, we can look for Stowers to do what he does best tonight.

Vasquez's 3.80 ERA looks nice until you factor in his atrocious underlying marks, which include a 5.80 expected ERA, 5.94 xFIP, and just a 12.1% strikeout rate. His xFIP is the worst among MLB hurlers who have tossed 90-plus innings this season.

Thus, we can expect the southpaw to encounter some pretty nasty negative regression in the second half, and Stowers is a viable candidate to start things off.

Despite benefitting from a lucky 8.4% HR/FB ratio and a .248 BABIP, Vasquez has still been rocked for a .449 SLG and 1.42 home runs per nine frames against LHH. He strikes out lefties at only a 9.9% rate all while allowing them a tall 49.7% fly-ball rate. At +160 odds, Stowers to record an RBI is one of my favorite bets for Monday's slate.

Jack Flaherty Over 6.5 Strikeouts (+106)

Jack Flaherty pitched to a 4.65 ERA and a 5-9 record in the first half, serving as a meh force in what has been an otherwise awesome season for the Detroit Tigers (60-40).

But Flaherty's 3.63 xFIP and 3.49 SIERA tell us he's bound to get back on track. More importantly, he's still blowing batters away with an elite 29.5% strikeout rate (seventh-highest in MLB).

Flaherty's exceeded 6.5 Ks in 11 out of 19 starts this season. He's cleared this line in four straight outings and holds a red-hot 33.3% K% in the span.

I'd be interested in these +106 odds based on Flaherty's track record alone. Add in a super friendly match against the Pittsburgh Pirates, and I'm in.

The Pirates' active roster sports a .110 ISO (30th), .293 wOBA (29th), and 84 wRC+ (28th) versus right-handed pitchers. They strike out at a gaudy 23.5% rate (third-highest) against RHP, too. Look for Flaherty to shove in this one.
