Vladimir Guerrero Jr. To Record An RBI (+110)

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. has produced a .306 BA, .329 ISO, .635 SLG, 15.3% barrel rate, and just a 14.7% strikeout rate across the last 30 days (95 PA). Since July 23rd, he's notched at least one RBI in 16 of 28 games.

Can he bring a run home in a friendly matchup against Simeon Woods Richardson?

Woods Richardson is scheduled to make his first start of the month after hitting the 15-day IL with an illness in late July. Through 80 2/3 frames in the bigs, he's posted a 4.24 ERA, 4.30 xERA, 5.08 xFIP, and just a 19.8% strikeout rate. The righty surrenders a 51.5% fly-ball rate and 1.39 home runs per nine innings in same-handed matchups.

Guerrero is not only red-hot, but he's been great against righties this season, posting a .293 BA on the season and a .357 BA and .714 SLG across the past 30 days. With George Springer (.411 wOBA vs. RHPs) expected to lead off for the Toronto Blue Jays, Vladdy has a strong path to log an RBI in this one.

Colson Montgomery To Record An RBI (+165)

Rookie Colson Montgomery has been a bright spot for the Chicago White Sox this season, logging 37 RBIs through 41 starts.

Across the last 30 days, Montgomery sports a .400 ISO, 17.7% barrel rate, and 51.6% fly-ball rate. He's smashed 11 home runs in this span (third-most in MLB), including one long ball in four straight games.

Montgomery will face a righty in Ryan Bergert. Bergert's 2.79 ERA is due to regress in the wrong direction thanks to a 4.22 xERA, 4.41 xFIP, and 4.33 SIERA. He coughs up a 53.0% fly-ball rate to left-handed hitters.

Montgomery, meanwhile, is torching righties with a .355 ISO, .609 SLG, and 45.9% fly-ball rate this season. He touts a .679 SLG at home versus righties.

With the rookie batting fifth for the White Sox, I like Montgomery to bat in a run at +165 odds.

Sonny Gray Over 6.5 Strikeouts (+100)

Sonny Gray has still got it. The veteran sports a 3.00 xFIP (sixth-best in MLB), 3.18 SIERA (seventh-best) and an elite 26.9% strikeout rate in 2025.

Since May 7th, Gray's K rate is up to 27.9%. It's up to 28.2% across his last 11 starts. After seeing him go for seven-plus Ks in three of his last four games, I want in on the over for his K prop considering he'll pitch at home against a weak Pittsburgh Pirates group.

Pittsburgh's active roster shows a 23.4% strikeout rate (fifth-highest in MLB) versus right-handed pitchers. They also struggle with a .365 SLG (30th), .300 wOBA (29th), and 89 wRC+ (29th) in the split.

Pittsburgh's K rate versus RHP spikes to 24.7% on the road.

Considering Gray's high ceiling -- he has exploded for 10-plus Ks in three starts since May 19th -- we can consider targeting his alternate lines. You can get Gray 8+ Strikeouts at +182 odds.
