When on base, the Reds have been able to capitalize on their scoring opportunities as their offense also ranks in the top half of the board in RBIs and in Total Runs Scored.With Michael Soroka set to take the mound, the Reds will have a great opportunity to sustain their high level of play on offense as the Washington Nationals pitcher averages an ERA of 5.10 and a FIP of 4.04. Especially when Soroka is surrounded by an underwhelming back end who struggles in coverage as the Nationals defense ranks near the bottom of the board in Defensive Efficiency and in Fielding Percentage.Michael Soroka Under 16.5 Outs: (-130) at FanDuel SportsbookWith the Reds offense expected to get into scoring position from the opening pitch, this hampers Michael Soroka’s chances of going the full length of his start. Should the total on his Outs prop drop down to 15.5, then reduce the size of your wager. If the total crosses through the key number of 15, then pass on this market entirely.Detroit Tigers vs Pittsburgh Pirates (12:35pm, EST)Bailey Falter Under 3.5 Strikeouts: (-140) at Caesars SportsbookPositive regression looms large over the Detroit Tigers offense as they are slated to face off against the Pittsburgh Pirates Bailey Falter who has struggled mightily this season. In his 20 starts, Falter is averaging an ERA of 4.00, a WHIP of 1.224, a FIP of 5.01. His low level of play on the mound stems from his inability to punch out as Falter is also averaging less than one Strikeout per Inning Pitched.Even though the Tigers are in the midst of a cold stretch of play, their offense has proven they are one of the better units in the league as their lineup still ranks above league average in Contact Rate and in Slugger Percentage. With Falter struggling to avoid contact, expect the Tigers offense to round back into form and hold the Pirates pitcher under the total on his Strikeouts prop.Gleyber Torres Over 1.5 Total Bases: (-110) at FanDuel SportsbookGleyber Torres has played a major role in their resurgence on offense this season as the former New York Yankees batter is averaging over one Hit per game, a 2.86 Batting Average, and a .816 OPS. With Falter failing to keep opposing runners off the bases due to his lack of command, expect Torres to continue to make contact at a consistent rate throughout the duration of the contest.Chicago White Sox vs Tampa Bay Rays (7:35pm, EST)Jonathan Cannon Under 16.5 Outs: (-120) at FanDuel SportsbookIf it were not for the Colorado Rockies putting together a historically bad season, then the Chicago White Sox would once again be labeled as the worst team in the league. Jonathan Cannon has played a role in their struggles as the White Sox pitcher is averaging an ERA of 4.18, a WHIP of 1.381, and a FIP of 4.66.Unfortunately for Cannon, his struggles on the mound are poised to persist as he faces off against a Tampa Bay Rays offense who excels at generating Hits. Heading into Wednesday night’s contest, the Rays offense ranks top-15 in Contact Rate, Total Runs Scored, and in Slugger Percentage.About the authorKody MalstromKody Malstrom is a professional sports bettor and sports betting journalist with six years of experience covering a vast majority of sports.
