Chicago Cubs vs. Pittsburgh Pirates: Nico Hoerner over 1.5 total bases, +130 @ bet365

Hoerner has racked up three or more bases in each of his last four games. He smacked a two-run, game-winning double against the Rays on Sunday and there are reasons to believe he'll stay hot in the series opener against the Pirates on Monday. After going 2-for-4 with a double and three RBI on Sunday, the 28-year-old has recorded hits in 18 of his last 21 games, including 10 multi-hit efforts. Over that span, Hoerner is batting .354 with 10 RBI, 16 runs scored, nine doubles and four stolen bases across 91 plate appearances. Hoerner has been particularly good against the Pirates in his career, hitting .350 with 70 hits, four home runs, 32 RBIs and 42 runs scored in 58 games against Pittsburgh.

New York Yankees vs. Minnesota Twins: Cody Bellinger over 0.5 home runs, +442 @ DraftKings

Bellinger has been one of the main reasons why the Yankees have played better of late. Even though Bellinger went 0-for-4 against the Red Sox on Sunday, the veteran outfielder is hitting .299 with an .890 OPS, four homers, 18 RBI and a solid 12:10 K:BB in his last 20 games. He's gone five games without a homer and has gone yard just once in his last 10 appearances. But he might be due for another one since the Twins, who have nothing to play for, will send Simeon Woods Richardson to the mound. The right-hander has a 6.75 ERA, a 1.59 WHIP and an astronomically-high 2.5 HR/9 in six starts since the All-Star break. If there's a pitching matchup where Bellinger can take advantage, that's this.

Philadelphia Phillies vs. Los Angeles Dodgers: Ranger Suarez over 4.5 strikeouts, -130 @ BetMGM

Suarez has been hit-or-miss with his strikeout lines of late. He fanned a season-high 12 over six shutout frames Tuesday in a win over the Mets and has posted double-digit strikeouts in three of his last five starts. However, he's also recorded four or fewer K's in four of his previous seven. Essentially, he's either falling a bit short on the 4.5-K line, or passing it with flying colors. The Dodgers aren't exactly the best matchup for any pitcher, but Suarez sports a 9.4 K/9 over his 10 outings since the All-Star break. If he's able to pitch relatively deep into the game and record at least 15 outs, he could have a good chance to surpass this line.
