| MLB | (953) San Francisco Giants at (954) Milwaukee Brewers: Moneyline | 7:40pm EDT - Jun 1/2026 |
The PLAY: San Francisco Giants 114 Landen Roupp (RHP), Shane Drohan (LHP) Must Start
The Giants are providing us with solid value as underdogs on Monday. Landen Roupp took the loss in his last start but still pitched reasonably well. He allowed two runs in five innings. In his previous start, he allowed one earned run over six innings. In those two starts, he recorded 10 strikeouts while walking only one batter. Through six road starts, he's 3-2 with a stingy 2.67 ERA and 1.16 WHIP. Importantly, Roupp has gone five or more complete innings in eight of his 11 starts, including six or more in five of those. Rookie left-hander Shane Drohan is expected to start for the Brewers. Drohan's numbers are really good. However, they were built almost entirely from his work in the bullpen. He's only made one start, which was back in early April. (He got roughed up in that start, taking a loss at Fenway Park.) He has yet to go more than 4 1/3 innings in any of his 11 appearances. Look for Roupp to outlast Drohan and for the Giants to score the minor upset.

| MLB | (921) Kansas City Royals at (922) Texas Rangers: Total | 2:35pm EDT - May 31/2026 |
The PLAY: Total Under 7.5 (100) Michael Wacha (RHP), Jack Leiter (RHP) Must Start
While this has been a high-scoring series, we should see some better pitching on Sunday afternoon. Wacha continues to pitch well. Last time out, he held the Yankees to two earned runs through seven complete innings. In his previous start, he limited the Red Sox to one earned run through six complete innings. On the season, through 11 starts, he has a 2.69 ERA and 1.05 WHIP. He's allowed just seven total runs in his past five starts, pitching six innings in two of those and seven in the other three. In those five May starts, he's 2-0 with a stellar 2.18 ERA and 0.91 WHIP. Opposing batters are hitting just .186 in those games. Three of those five games stayed below the total bringing the under to 8-3 when he's on the mound, this season. While Leiter's stats aren't as good as Wacha's, he is also very capable and has recently been involved in some low-scoring games. Five of his past six starts have stayed below the total. More of the same Sunday. *good at 7.5 or better
