Marcell Ozuna leads the Braves in average, homers, RBI, hits, and on-base percentage, and he’s picked up a hit in 20 of his last 24 games. Of those, nine have been of the multi-hit variety. Ozuna draws Detroit ace Tarik Skubal in the finale, whose 8-2 record has him tied for the sixth-most wins in baseball. However, I like Ozuna to stay hot, with a great opportunity to take a flier on plus odds for 2+ hits. While Skubal has allowed two runs or less in six of his last eight, he’s still been giving up hits — at least five in six of his last eight starts.

Ranger Suarez has been consistently effective all season. In his 14 starts on the year, he’s allowed three or more earned runs in a game just three times. He’s allowed two runs or fewer in six of his last seven outings. Suarez has already seen the Padres once this season and he served up a gem, limiting them to three hits over eight innings while striking out eight and allowing just one earned run in a 5-1 win. The Padres aren’t exactly in their best form either as they’ve lost five in a row and are on the verge of getting swept in their second straight series. They’ve also lost nine of their last 10 to the Phillies.

Chicago Cubs starter Kyle Hendricks found himself banished to the bullpen after allowing seven earned runs and a bomb across 4 2/3 frames in his May 17 start against the Pirates. He’s allowed four or more earned runs in six of seven starts this year. Wednesday presents us with a typical summer afternoon at Wrigley Field; the forecast calls for a hot, humid day with strong winds blowing out to center. Conforto has always hit righties well and Hendricks has struggled to get lefties out at home. Southpaw bats have blasted two bombs and a pair of doubles with a .400 BABIP and .398 wOBA across 11 frames at Wrigley. Conforto has a couple of doubles across seven at bats against Hendricks. The sample size is small but should give Conforto additional confidence.

It won’t be an easy season debut for Gerrit Cole, as he’ll face a potent Baltimore Orioles lineup who happen to rank first in slugging, third in OPS, and are just outside the Top 10 in fewest strikeouts on the year while leading the bigs with 115 home runs. That, plus the New York Yankees admitting Cole’s not yet at full strength, means it might be a short outing for him, and perhaps the only time to take an Under on this strikeout machine.

Kevin Gausman put up his best start of the season a week and a half ago as he scattered five hits over nine shutout innings against the Athletics. The right-hander took the loss in his last start on June 14 against a pesky Guardians lineup, giving up eight hits and three earned runs over just 5 1/3 innings, but he has been solid over the past couple of months as he’s held opponents to three earned runs or fewer in nine of his last 11 appearances. The Red Sox will send Brayan Bello to the mound, and he has surrendered at least six hits and four earned runs in each of his last three outings while only pitching through the fifth inning once through that span. He also owns a bloated 6.48 ERA over his last six starts.

A Colorado pitcher at home vs. the Dodgers? I'll take the Under here every day. Feltner is coming off a season-high 95 pitches in his last start and comes to Coors where he has a 6.87 ERA. It's a bad matchup and the wind blowing out at 10 mph isn't helping the Colorado starter's cause. This market is falling quickly and could close around -150. He projects for 13.9 outs.
