FanDuel’s Tuesday MLB slate contains 11 games with 7:05 p.m. start, where just five of the 22 lineup options sit in the expensive tier, creating a boom/bust scene for cash vs. GPPs. Los Angeles is the clear focal point with the Dodgers favored by -320, followed by Seattle at -200, while Athletics-Red Sox holds the slate’s lone double-digit total. The rest sit in more modest run expectations, and weather looks favorable with dry, cool temps and minor wind effects out west.

Robbie Ray is the tentpole pick to anchor lineups, especially at home in a pitcher-friendly environment against Arizona, though his recent form is rocky. Emmet Sheehan stands out as a cash-game favorite with upside in tournaments, Adrian Houser is a value option with a soft matchup, and the Dodgers’ top bats are in prime spots against Marquez. The Blue Jays, Cubs, and Giants offer compelling stacks and value plays, with Springer/Varsho/ Guerrero Jr. leading Toronto’s charge and Happ/Crow-Armstrong/Busch the Cubs’ multi-entry leverage.

The New York Yankees are set to face off against the Atlanta Braves at Truist Park, with the Yankees looking to bounce back after losing their last two games against the Cubs. With a current record of 53-43, they trail the Blue Jays by 2 games in the AL East while holding a narrow lead over the Red Sox. The Braves, at 42-53, have struggled, especially finishing the first half with a disappointing 3-7 record in their last 10 games and sit 9.5 games out of the Wild Card spot.

Spencer Strider will take the mound for the Braves, boasting a 3.94 ERA this season, while the Yankees have not announced their starting pitcher yet. Betting lines indicate a close match-up, with the Yankees slightly favored on the moneyline. Expert predictions suggest a lean towards Atlanta for a potential upset, with a suggested play on the over for the total runs scored.

The New York Mets faced a disappointing three-game series against the Atlanta Braves, getting swept and suffering a season-high six-game losing streak. The Braves dominated the Mets' pitching staff, scoring a total of 17 runs in the series while the Mets managed only 5. With their starting rotation in disarray due to injuries, the Mets are now tied for the NL East lead with the Philadelphia Phillies, heading into a crucial series this weekend.

Outfielder Brandon Nimmo remains optimistic, acknowledging the Braves' talent while stressing the need for good baseball against the Phillies. Mets pitcher Spencer Strider shone on the mound, striking out seven and limiting the Mets to just one run through six innings. The Mets have now scored only once in their last 22 innings, leading to increased pressure on their lineup. Manager Carlos Mendoza notes that their pitching had been a strong point but has faltered in recent games.

The New York Mets (45-29) are in Atlanta facing the Braves (33-39) as they aim to avoid a sweep. Clay Holmes will pitch for the Mets, while the Braves will counter with Spencer Strider. The Braves blanked the Mets, 5-0, in the last game, highlighted by Chris Sale's impressive performance, where he allowed only five hits and struck out seven batters over 8.2 innings. The matchup promises excitement, and Rotoworld has all the betting insights, player stats, and predictions to assist fans and bettors alike.

The latest odds show the Mets at +109 and the Braves at -129, with a total runs line set at 8.0. Notably, the Mets have won 18 of their last 28 games following a loss. Holmes has maintained consistency with three strikeouts in every start since May, while Strider has been on a roll, pitching six scoreless innings against Colorado in his last outing. Expert predictions lean towards the Mets covering the spread at +1.5 and a recommendation to bet on the over for the total runs.
