The Cleveland Guardians head into Busch Stadium on Tuesday night in a good spot. They are 10-7, sitting first in the AL Central, and they just handled St. Louis 9-3 in the opener of this series. The Cardinals are 8-8, fourth in the NL Central, and suddenly trying to stop a three-game slide before this gets away from them. First pitch is set for 7:45 PM, with Joey Cantillo going for Cleveland and Michael McGreevy taking the ball for St. Louis. This is an interesting handicap because the records point one way, but the starting pitching keeps the game closer than the market might suggest. Cleveland has been the steadier club, and it showed Monday with better lineup depth and

Seattle rolls into PETCO Park on Tuesday night with some real momentum after winning four straight, but this is not exactly a soft landing spot. The Mariners are 8-9 and still trying to climb in the AL West, while the Padres sit at 10-6, second in the NL West, and have won five in a row themselves. First pitch is set for 9:40 PM ET in San Diego, with Bryan Woo facing Michael King in one of the better pitching matchups on the board. This game feels tighter than the records suggest.

The pitching matchup is strong enough to make bettors slow down before jumping on either side. MacKenzie Gore gets the ball for Texas at 2-0 with a 2.76 ERA, while Jeffrey Springs counters for the Athletics

The New York Mets head west on Tuesday night looking for anything that feels stable right now. They are 7-9, sitting fifth in the NL East, and they have dropped five straight heading into this 10:10 PM matchup at UNIQLO Field at Dodger Stadium. Los Angeles is in a much different spot overall at 11-4, leading the NL West, though the Dodgers are also trying to respond after a loss their last time out. This is still one of the more interesting games on the board because the pitching matchup is better than the records might suggest. Nolan McLean brings a 2.70 ERA into a tough road environment for the Mets, while Yoshinobu Yamamoto gets the ball for the Dodgers
