MLB SGP Bets

Arizona Diamondbacks at Cleveland Guardians

Ketel Marte to Record 2+ Total Bases (-110)
Jose Ramirez to Record 2+ Total Bases (-105)
Corbin Carroll to Record a Hit (-250)

Combined Odds: +421

Is there a hotter hitter in baseball right now than Ketel Marte of the Arizona Diamondbacks? Over the last 14 days, Marte is sporting a tremendous .535 wOBA, 253 wRC+, and .556 ISO.

While Marte has better numbers versus left-handed pitching, he should have success against Ben Lively and the Cleveland Guardians on Tuesday. Although it's a small sample size of five career plate appearances against Lively, Marte has two homers and a triple against the Cleveland righty.

Eduardo Rodriguez is expected to make his season debut for Arizona, and he'll be tasked with facing Jose Ramirez. Ramirez is posting a .461 wOBA, 206 wRC+, and .351 ISO against left-handed pitchers in 2024 while tallying two-plus bases in six of his last seven contests.

With Marte having four homer runs in his last four games and Ramirez totaling five long balls in his last seven, Marte is being given +480 odds to hit a home run while Ramirez has +540 odds in the same market on Dinger Tuesday. The only concern is that weather could be an issue in Tuesday's Diamondbacks-Guardians matchup, so keep tabs on any weather updates throughout the day.

To complete this SGP, I will back Corbin Carroll to get one hit. Following a slow start to the season, Carroll has the 28th-best wOBA (.430), 30th-best wRC+ (181), and 12th-best ISO (.407) against right-handed pitching in the last month among hitters with 40-plus plate appearances.

Baltimore Orioles at Toronto Blue Jays

Chris Bassitt Under 5.5 Strikeouts (-164)
Anthony Santander to Record an RBI (+150)
Colton Cowser to Record a Run (-155)

Combined Odds: +406

Facing a team twice within a week certainly doesn't favor pitchers, which is why we'll be taking the under on strikeouts for Chris Bassitt against the Baltimore Orioles. In Bassitt's last start for the Toronto Blue Jays versus the Orioles on July 30, he finished with only three Ks while allowing nine hits and five earned runs in four innings of work.

Additionally, Bassitt ranks in the 37th percentile in xERA (4.30), 27th percentile in xBA (.260), and 41st percentile in strikeout rate (21.3%). Meanwhile, Baltimore boasts the seventh-best wOBA (.344), sixth-best wRC+ (125), and ninth-best ISO (.189) in the last 30 days when going up against right-handed pitchers.

Anthony Santander is one of the left-handed bats from the Orioles who can wreak havoc at the plate versus Bassitt and Toronto's bullpen as he boasts a .212 ISO or better and .435 wOBA or better versus Bassitt's two primary pitches (sinker and cutter) against left-handed bats. Santander has tallied at least one RBI in five of his last eight contests, and he's carrying the shortest odds to hit a home run (+420) in Tuesday's Orioles-Blue Jays showdown.

Colton Cowser has been hitting leadoff for the O's against right-handed hurlers recently, which has led to him producing an impressive 17-game hit streak entering Tuesday's contest. During his current 17-game hit streak, Cowser has accumulated 16 runs.

Aside from Bassitt's woes, Toronto's bullpen is registering the second-worst xFIP (5.29), second-worst WHIP (1.68), and ninth-worst HR/9 (1.4) over the last month. So even when Bassitt exits the game, Santander and Cowser can be effective at the plate if they haven't already achieved an RBI and run scored.

Milwaukee Brewers at Atlanta Braves

Austin Riley to Record 2+ Total Bases (-120)
Matt Olson to Record an RBI (+145)
Marcell Ozuna to Record a Hit (-280)

Combined Odds: +441

Another pitcher who will be starting back-to-back games against the same opponent is Colin Rea of the Milwaukee Brewers. Ahead of his 19th start of the campaign, Rea is set to face the Atlanta Braves for the second time in a little over a week.

Rea is currently sitting in the 14th percentile in xERA (4.92), 11th percentile in xBA (.276), 21st percentile in barrel rate (9.3%), and 26th percentile in hard-hit rate (41.6%). That is bad news for Rea with the Braves heating up at the plate in recent outings.

Over the last 14 days, Atlanta has the 10th-best wOBA (.323) and 4th-best ISO (.210) versus righties. Austin Riley, Matt Olson, and Marcell Ozuna are all reasons why the Braves have woken up on offense of late.

Riley has achieved two-plus bases in four of his last six contests. In addition to his fantastic form, Riley owns a .347 wOBA, 123 wRC+, and .202 ISO when facing right-handed pitchers in 2024.

It was a quiet start to the year for Olson, but the hard-hitting lefty has accrued five home runs and nine RBIs across his last nine games. Winds are also blowing out to right field at Truist Park, so Olson's chances of getting extra-base hits -- which can lead to an RBI -- are increased.

Ozuna has been one of the best hitters in baseball all season, and it's not too much to ask for him to get just one hit. Along with logging a .391 wOBA, 154 wRC+, and .296 ISO versus righties, Ozuna has a .347 wOBA against Rea's two primary pitches (sinker and sweeper) versus right-handed hitters.

With all three of Atlanta's best available hitters in a favorable matchup, it's worth noting that Riley has +320 odds to hit a home run while Olson is at +370 and Ozuna has +260 odds in the same market.
