I'm focused on a pair of NL matchups on Wednesday evening/night as I look to exploit one team's significant struggles against southpaws and an elite pitcher's recent dominance, including against his Wednesday opponent.
Miami Marlins 
at Philadelphia Phillies 
No team has struggled more against left-handers on the road in the second half of the season than the Marlins, which sport a 31.0 percent strikeout rate, .170 average, .471 OPS and MLB-low .212 wOBA in that split. Miami also averages the second-fewest runs per first 5 innings per road game (1.59), and the Marlins have opened September with a 33.8 percent strikeout rate, .160 average and MLB-low .211 wOBA over their first 136 plate appearances of the month. Meanwhile, Phillies starter Bailey Falter is 3-0 with a 2.59 ERA, 0.82 WHIP and 8.5 K/9 in his last four starts.
The Marlins' Trevor Rogers was very impressive at home in his return from the IL last Wednesday against the Rays and certainly has the talent to outperform his current 4-10 record, 5.57 ERA and 1.56 WHIP. However, Rogers has pitched to plenty of contact in three meetings against the Phillies this season, posting an 0-2 record, 11.91 ERA and crooked 9:10 K:BB in 11.1 innings. Current Philly bats own a collective .820 OPS against Rogers as well, and the Phillies have a .780 OPS and .336 wOBA against southpaws at home since the All-Star break.
MLB Best Bets for Marlins at Phillies
- Phillies -0.5 – 1st 5 innings (-110) for 1.10 RW Bucks
- Phillies moneyline (-168) for 1.68 RW Bucks
- Bailey Falter Over 5.5 strikeouts thrown (+114) for 1 RW Buck

Diamondbacks 
at Padres 
Tommy Henry was rolling along with a 3-2 record, 3.25 ERA and acceptable 1.27 WHIP over his first five starts before running into the Phillies last time out and getting knocked around for seven earned runs on eight hits in four frames. The young southpaw looks to bounce back Wednesday against a Padres team that's been more or less mediocre against left-handed pitching at home in the second half with a .241 average and middling .300 wOBA in that split. Those numbers are a bit worse (.236 BA, .291 wOBA) when zooming out over a larger three-month sample, and San Diego has actually been a mediocre home offense overall this season with averages of just 3.8 runs on 7.4 hits per home contest, both bottom-10 figures.
Yu Darvish has been a thorn in the side of the Diamondbacks through three encounters this season, pitching to a 2-0 record and 1.80 ERA versus Arizona. He's also been very effective at home, where he sports a 6-2 record, 2.29 ERA and 0.8 HR/9 across 74.2 innings. Current D-Backs bats own just a collective .227/.280/.373 slash line against Darvish in 118 career encounters, and, further supporting the notion of a lower-scoring contest, nine of the 14 games between the teams this season have notably finished with totals of seven runs or fewer and the Under is 37-27-1 overall in San Diego's home games.
MLB Best Bets for Diamondbacks at Padres
- Under 4.5 runs – 1st 5 innings (-120) for 1.20 RW Bucks
- Moneyline/Total Runs parlay: Padres/Under 7.5 runs (+200) for 1 RW Buck
