📊 WagerLens Performance Review

MLB: 109-102 (52%; +9.62 Units)

June ‘25: 22-19 (54%; +0.477 Units)

All-Time: 234-204 (53%; +43.8 Units)

🎯 Milwaukee Brewers @ Minnesota Twins

Pitching Preview:

Jose Quintana takes the mound for Milwaukee, carrying a 4-2 record and a 3.35 ERA. He’s been reliable all season, pitching 5+ innings in 8 of his 9 starts, and consistently giving the Brewers a chance to win.

Minnesota counters with Simeon Woods Richardson, who enters with a 5.13 ERA and a 2-3 record. He’s recorded exactly 4 strikeouts in each of his last three starts, but has also allowed 6 runs and 8 hits in two of those three outings, raising red flags about his consistency.

Offensive Trends:

The Brewers hold a slight edge in run production, averaging 4.53 R/G compared to 4.27 for the Twins. If Quintana holds the Twins in check early, Milwaukee has the bats to capitalize.

Prop Spotlight:

Simeon Woods Richardson 4+ Strikeouts – He’s hit this number in three straight.

Jose Quintana OVER 15.5 Outs Recorded (+ money) – Consistent innings eater with a high floor.

Byron Buxton OVER 1.5 Hits + Runs + RBIs – Buxton’s power/speed combo makes him a threat in all phases.

Brewers Moneyline – Slight edge in both pitching and offensive form.

🎯 Cincinnati Reds @ St. Louis Cardinals

Pitching Preview:

The Reds will open with Brent Suter, who owns a 2.91 ERA and a 1-0 record, but isn’t a traditional starter. Expect this to be more of a bullpen game, with limited innings from Suter.

The Cardinals hand the ball to Sonny Gray, who enters with a 7-2 record and a 3.84 ERA. While his production has dipped a bit in his last two outings, he’s pitched 6+ innings in four of his last five starts, showing he can still go deep when needed.

Offensive Trends:

Both teams are evenly matched at the plate — St. Louis averages 4.72 R/G, slightly ahead of Cincinnati’s 4.62 R/G. If the Reds’ bullpen gets stretched early, the Cards could pile on late.

Prop Spotlight:

Nolan Arenado OVER 1.5 Hits + Runs + RBIs – A steady contributor with multi-category upside.

Sonny Gray OVER 5.5 Strikeouts – Consistent workload makes this a reachable line.

Elly De La Cruz OVER 1.5 Hits + Runs + RBIs – Electric every night with elite speed and pop.

🎯 Texas Rangers @ Pittsburgh Pirates

Pitching Preview:

The Rangers roll out Kumar Rocker, who’s had a tough stretch. He enters with a 2-4 record and a 7.31 ERA, allowing 40 hits and 23 earned runs over his last 7 starts, despite racking up 27 strikeouts. He’s shown flashes but has struggled with command and hard contact.

On the other side, Mitch Keller has been more consistent than his 1-9 record suggests. He holds a 4.08 ERA and has logged 6+ innings in 8 straight starts, giving the Pirates quality length even in low-scoring games.

Offensive Trends:

Both offenses have been underwhelming. Texas averages 3.63 R/G, while Pittsburgh is at just 3.21 R/G, one of the lowest marks in baseball. In a low-output matchup, Keller’s ability to work deep becomes a key advantage.

Prop Spotlight:

Pirates +1.5 Run Line – In a low-scoring matchup with a strong starter, the run cushion holds value.

Mitch Keller OVER 18.5 Outs Recorded (+ money) - 6+ innings in 8 straight starts

Josh Smith OVER 1.5 Total Bases – Smith’s consistency and matchup upside make this a sneaky good play.
