The Toronto Blue Jays will look to bounce back following a 5-1 loss to the Tampa Bay Rays. Offensively, the Blue Jays are averaging 4.3 runs per game and hitting .242 in their last 10 games. The Rays are averaging 3.6 runs per game and hitting .242 in that same span. Taking the mound for Toronto will be Kevin Gausman, who is 2-2 with a 3.10 ERA and a 0.96 WHIP through 7 starts. Gausman is coming off his worst start of the season against the Twins in which he allowed 4 runs on 4 hits in 5.2 innings pitched. For the Rays, Drew Rasmussen will get the nod; he comes in at 2-1 with a 2.64 ERA and 0.85 WHIP. 

Despite the Blue Jays hitting the ball slightly better than the Rays over their last 10 games, these 2 teams are fairly close on the season. The Blue Jays have struggled on the road this year, going 6-11, while the Rays have been terrific at home — holding a 12-4 such record. It’s also worth noting the Rays boast a 1.20 ERA in their last 10 games and have won 9 of their last 10. Toronto has a 3.41 team ERA in that same span and has won 6 of its last 10. While both pitchers have had a great start to the season, I like the Rays in this spot. Jonathan Aranda and Junior Caminero have been red hot for Tampa Bay. Aranda is hitting .356 with 4 home runs and 12 RBIs in his last 13 games, while Caminero is hitting .273 with 4 homers and 6 RBIs in that same span. With impressive pitching and a strong hitting core, the Rays should be able to shut down a struggling Blue Jays team and pick up another win at home.

The Baltimore Orioles and Miami Marlins will be kicking off a 3-game series on Tuesday. Both of these teams have been struggling of late. The Orioles are riding a 5-game losing streak and are 3-10 in their last 10 games, while the Marlins have lost 2 in a row and are 4-6 in their last 10 games. They are both slightly below average offensive teams, but the Orioles are giving up the third-most runs per game in the MLB. They are averaging 5.6 runs allowed per game. It is tough to win games giving up that many. The Orioles will be sending Chris Bassitt to the mound on Tuesday, and he has played a big part in why this team has given up so many runs. He has a 5.46 ERA in 28.0 innings pitched this season. The Marlins will be countering with Sandy Alcantara, who has been good with a 3.04 ERA across 47.1 innings.

The starting and bullpen pitching is the difference between these 2 teams in this game, and the Marlins have the advantage. Give me Miami to take the series opener.

There have been several times throughout the years when I have bet against Andre Pallante of the St. Louis Cardinals. The right-hander is a low strikeout, pitch-to-contact type of arm, and that doesn’t tend to be someone I gravitate toward in the betting space. That being said, I am backing Pallante and the Cardinals on Tuesday as they take on the Milwaukee Brewers. Through 31.1 innings of work, Pallante has been solid for the Cardinals in 2026 while posting a 3.73 ERA. That includes 6.0 innings of 1-run ball against the Pirates in his last start. Pallante has 14 strikeouts over his last 2 starts — and with an increase in missed bats, his profile becomes more attractive. Pallante is my preferred starting option in this game.

Brandon Sproat is set to make his seventh start of the season for the Brewers after being acquired from the Mets during the offseason. Sproat is a highly regarded pitching prospect, but his 2026 campaign has not been strong so far. Through 26.2 innings, the righty has a 6.75 ERA with a 6.37 FIP to support those struggles. His inability to pull batters out of the zone has resulted in high walk rates and low strikeout rates, and his batted ball profile is not strong enough to make up for it. Look for the Cardinals’ offense to produce early on in this game.

This matchup carries more volatility than a typical series opener, and that starts with familiarity and edge. These teams don’t particularly like each other, and in rivalry-style games, seeding and regular-season narratives tend to lose significance. The market reflects that as Detroit is only a slight favorite, implying this is closer to a coin flip than perception might suggest. That immediately puts value on Cleveland at a plus price.

From a matchup standpoint, Cleveland’s path is clear: push tempo, space the floor and lean into perimeter shooting. That approach carries variance, but it also creates separation when it clicks. Detroit, by contrast, prefers a more methodical style and can struggle when forced to match pace. That’s a key pressure point. It’s also worth noting Detroit was pushed to the brink by Orlando, which shot just 38% from the field in the first 4 games of their 7-game series. The Pistons needed a comeback from 3-1 down while benefiting from the Magic’s offensive collapse late in the series. Cleveland presents a different challenge entirely: more pace, more shooting and a higher offensive ceiling. If the Cavaliers dictate tempo and convert from deep at a reasonable clip, they have a strong chance to steal Game 1 outright. I am backing the Cavs to pull it off.

The Oklahoma City Thunder will host the Los Angeles Lakers in Game 1 of their Western Conference semifinal series on Tuesday night. Although the spread is predictably large, OKC has plenty of advantages working its favor that should allow it to win and win big. My Lakers vs Thunder prediction is for the home team to cover. Like it was for the defending NBA champions against most opponents during the regular season, this particular matchup was 1-way traffic. Oklahoma City dominated the 4 meetings by margins of 29, 9, 43 and 36 points. For those counting, that’s an average margin of victory by a ridiculous 29.3 points per game. Los Angeles remains without Luka Doncic, who does not seem to even be close to returning from a hamstring injury. Even when Austin Reaves returned in round 1, the Lakers’ offense still underwhelmed at times against the Rockets. If that continues against the best team in basketball, it will be a short series — and a blowout in the series opener.

As the only team in the NBA to sweep in the first round, the Thunder — who disposed of the Suns with ease — had a week to rest for this series. Jalen Williams is the only notable absentee with a hamstring injury of his own — but even without him, you have to like their chances against a depleted L.A. squad. I’m never overly enthused by giving so many points in a playoff setting, but this is a scenario that calls for an exception.

Lakers vs Thunder Game 1 prediction: OKC -15.5 (-110) available at time of publishing. Playable to that number.
