Sandy Alcantara has pitched 87 innings at home with 68 strike outs vs 23 walks and a1.008 WHIP. Hitters are only batting .206 against him at home. On the flip side, Sean Manaea has allowed hitters to bat .269 against him when he's on the road where he has a 4.97 ERA and a fielding independent of 5.06. Manaea has given up 4+ earned runs in his last four starts overall, so give me the Marlins.

I'm taking the over in Milwaukee simply as a gut play. These teams are battling for the top spot in the NL Central I expect both to pull out all the stops to get runs on the board.

The Dodgers have covered the run lie in six straight home meeting with the Reds and I'm confident in them doing it again with Tarik Skubal on the mound going against Nick Lodolo for Cincinnati, who has a lofty 6.00 road ERA and 6.71 fielding independent. I don't hate the idea of betting LA on an alternate run line to get plus money.
