| MLB | (917) Kansas City Royals at (918) Cincinnati Reds: Total | 7:10pm EDT - Jun 2/2026 |
The PLAY: Total Under 9.0 (-110) Andrew Abbott (LHP) Must Start
Chase Burns got scratched yesterday and the Royals took advantage. They're likely to have more trouble against Andrew Abbott. In five May starts, Abbott was 3-1 with a dominant 1.29 ERA, opposing hitters batting .192. In his last home start, a 5-0 win over Houston, Abbott allowed just three hits through six shutout innings. Cameron has also been pitching well of late. Over his last two starts, he's allowed just two runs through 11 combined innings. He won't have to deal with the Reds' best player, as Elly De La Cruz is out with a hamstring injury. His loss really hurts the Cincinnati offense. When he left (after playing 276 straight games) De La Cruz was batting .280 with an .855 OPS while tied with Sal Stewart for the team lead in home runs (12), RBIs (37) and stolen bases (10). Go with the under.

| MLB | (953) San Francisco Giants at (954) Milwaukee Brewers: Moneyline | 7:40pm EDT - Jun 1/2026 |
The PLAY: San Francisco Giants 114 Landen Roupp (RHP), Shane Drohan (LHP) Must Start
The Giants are providing us with solid value as underdogs on Monday. Landen Roupp took the loss in his last start but still pitched reasonably well. He allowed two runs in five innings. In his previous start, he allowed one earned run over six innings. In those two starts, he recorded 10 strikeouts while walking only one batter. Through six road starts, he's 3-2 with a stingy 2.67 ERA and 1.16 WHIP. Importantly, Roupp has gone five or more complete innings in eight of his 11 starts, including six or more in five of those. Rookie left-hander Shane Drohan is expected to start for the Brewers. Drohan's numbers are really good. However, they were built almost entirely from his work in the bullpen. He's only made one start, which was back in early April. (He got roughed up in that start, taking a loss at Fenway Park.) He has yet to go more than 4 1/3 innings in any of his 11 appearances. Look for Roupp to outlast Drohan and for the Giants to score the minor upset.
