Mariners @ Cubs [1:25–6:06]: Boyd is 6–0 at Wrigley; George Kirby struggles returning from IL. Cubs -126 and first-five under depending on wind suggested.
Rangers @ Pirates [6:06–9:17]: Jacob DeGrom has allowed ≤2 ER in last 5 starts. Lean under 8; Pirates are a live dog due to Rangers' hitting woes.
Orioles @ Yankees [9:17–13:07]: Max Fried's Yankee Stadium dominance continues; Yankees -1.5 advised.
Tigers @ Rays [13:07–16:30]: Tigers 11–1 to over in road series openers; Rays scoring resurgence favors over 8.5.

Braves @ Marlins [21:35–24:31]: Braves could be flat after Mets series. Consider Marlins or Braves team total over due to offense rebounding.

D’backs @ Rockies [34:26–38:10]: Despite Gallen’s decent Coors history, Rockies hitting and AZ bullpen fade push to over 12.
Nationals @ Dodgers [38:10–42:04]: McKenzie Gore underrated; Kershaw heating up. Consider first-five under 4.5.
Red Sox @ Giants [42:04–45:24]: Lean SF due to Red Sox travel fatigue and Birdsongs’s solid home numbers.
