Dodgers vs. Mets, 4:10PM ET

It's hard to find a more compelling resume than the one Clayton Kershaw has against the Mets. In his career, Kershaw has amassed a 10-0 record with a sparkling 2.19 ERA. And, even though the lefty's best years may be behind him, we still like the three-time Cy Young winner in this historically dominant matchup. Plus, look for the Dodgers offense to put up a few runs as they continue to heat up (.301 team batting average over the past ten games).

BET: Dodgers moneyline (-140). Place this bet with DraftKings Sportsbook ➡️ here ⬅️.

Orioles vs. Guardians, 6:10PM ET

Despite getting a strong boost last night from top prospect, Gunnar Henderson, the Orioles may have a tough time against Shane Bieber and the Guardians tonight. The starting pitcher has looked impeccable recently, limiting teams to two runs or fewer in his last five starts. In contrast, Kyle Bradish of the Orioles has had trouble preventing damage in his limited work this season. We'll look for the Guardians offense to capitalize on the weaker pitching matchup and give Bieber a lead to work with.

Rangers vs. Red Sox, 7:10PM ET

For the Red Sox to win this game, they'll need a strong performance from Rich Hill. Luckily for Boston, Hill has recently returned to form and delivered two of his best starts of the season back-to-back. As a pitcher that relies heavily on feel, Hill is prone to massive streaks in performance. In this case, we will look to jump aboard the recent hot stretch and hope it can continue against a relatively unspectacular Texas offense.
