GAME: Philadelphia Phillies @ Miami Marlins
PICK: Philadelphia Phillies
SPREAD PICK: Philadelphia Phillies -1.5
OVER/UNDER PICK: Under 7.5
CONFIDENCE: Medium

GAME: Arizona Diamondbacks @ Pittsburgh Pirates
PICK: Pittsburgh Pirates
SPREAD PICK: Pittsburgh Pirates -1.5
OVER/UNDER PICK: Under 8.5
CONFIDENCE: Medium
REASON: Arizona's bullpen and rotation are gutted by injuries (Gallen, Burnes, Nelson, Jameson) making Jared Jones and Pittsburgh the safer side at home.

GAME: Toronto Blue Jays @ Washington Nationals
PICK: Toronto Blue Jays
SPREAD PICK: Toronto Blue Jays -1.5
OVER/UNDER PICK: Over 9.5
CONFIDENCE: Medium
REASON: Hot, windy conditions in DC favor scoring and Toronto's lineup should exploit a shaky Nationals staff missing several starters.

CONFIDENCE: Medium
REASON: Chris Sale gives Atlanta a clear starting pitching edge over Christian Scott, and the Mets are without Soto and Vientos.

CONFIDENCE: High
REASON: Tarik Skubal is an elite ace facing an Orioles lineup decimated by injuries (Rutschman, Basallo, Mountcastle, Westburg).

GAME: Milwaukee Brewers @ San Francisco Giants
PICK: San Francisco Giants
SPREAD PICK: San Francisco Giants +1.5

GAME: Colorado Rockies @ San Diego Padres
PICK: San Diego Padres
SPREAD PICK: San Diego Padres -1.5
OVER/UNDER PICK: Under 8.5
CONFIDENCE: Medium
REASON: Colorado's rotation is a mess (Dollander, Quintana, Herrera all out) and Petco Park suppresses offense.

OVER/UNDER PICK: Under 7.5
CONFIDENCE: Medium
REASON: Same series edge applies in game two with Atlanta's rotation depth advantage over a Mets team missing key bats.

GAME: Cleveland Guardians @ Cincinnati Reds
PICK: Cleveland Guardians
SPREAD PICK: Cleveland Guardians -1.5

GAME: New York Yankees @ Chicago White Sox
PICK: New York Yankees

OVER/UNDER PICK: Under 7.5
CONFIDENCE: Medium
REASON: Schlittler and the Yankees' offense should overwhelm a rebuilding White Sox roster even with fatigued bullpens on both sides.

OVER/UNDER PICK: Under 9.0
CONFIDENCE: High
REASON: Joe Ryan at home against a Royals team missing Witt Jr., Ragans, Bubic and McArthur is a clear mismatch.

GAME: Chicago Cubs @ St. Louis Cardinals
PICK: Chicago Cubs
SPREAD PICK: Chicago Cubs -1.5
OVER/UNDER PICK: Under 8.0
CONFIDENCE: Low
REASON: Even moneyline odds reflect a coin-flip game, but Boyd's recent form gives Chicago a slight nod.

GAME: Houston Astros @ Los Angeles Angels
PICK: Houston Astros
SPREAD PICK: Houston Astros -1.5
OVER/UNDER PICK: Over 9.5
CONFIDENCE: Medium
REASON: Angels' rotation and bullpen are thin with multiple injuries, and Houston's offense should push this total over in a hitter-friendly Anaheim setup.

GAME: Boston Red Sox @ Athletics
PICK: Boston Red Sox
SPREAD PICK: Boston Red Sox -1.5
OVER/UNDER PICK: Over 10.5
CONFIDENCE: Medium
REASON: Both bullpens are fatigued and the high total reflects an offense-heavy matchup that favors Boston's deeper lineup.

SPREAD PICK: Golden State Valkyries -5.5
OVER/UNDER PICK: Over 158.5
