Two more picks:

Yankees (D. German) -126 vs Toronto (Kikuchi)

Domingo German has a 19/5 K-BB ratio in just 14 innings, and has posted 39% and 43% CSW ratios in 2 of his 3 starts. Not the biggest fan of his in previous years, but he's looking pretty good thus far. He faces Yusei Kikuchi, who is coming off a good start against the Rays, but otherwise hasn't been impressive. He gave up a lot of hard hit balls in his previous two starts, including the one against the weak Royals, where he lucked out and only gave up 1 ER.

The so-far-underachieving and banged up Yankees are at home and have the much better pitcher going tonight.




San Francisco (DeSclafani) -110 vs Mets (Lucchesi)

DeScalfani is a weird pitcher, who seems to be either excellent (2021, 2023) or awful (2022) in a given year. Fortunately it's an odd year, and he's killing it so far, in what appears to be a major bounceback from his disasterous 2022 which ended in injury. He has a 16/0 K-BB ratio, and a 1.42 ERA, to go with a 0.634 WHIP thus far.

He faces the Mets who are starting a guy off Tommy John surgery, who has never registered an ERA below 4. He last pitched in MLB in 2021.
