WSN @ CIN

Market used: WSN +162 / CIN -196, full-game total 8.0. Probable starters: Foster Griffin vs. Chase Burns. Game time: 12:40 PM ET, Great American Ball Park, expected temperature around 58–59°F with 16 mph wind.

Projected Score

Team	Projected Runs	Projected Hits	Projected Errors
WSN	4.6	8.2	0.7
CIN	4.2	7.5	0.3
Total	8.8	15.7	1.0

WSN has the stronger offensive profile. WSN is scoring 5.4 runs/game, ranking 2nd in MLB, with a .325 OBP and .411 SLG. CIN is scoring 4.0 runs/game, ranking 26th, with a .220 AVG, .305 OBP, and .379 SLG. Recent form also favors WSN: WSN has a .799 OPS and 52 runs over the last 10 games, while CIN has a .677 OPS and 34 runs over the last 10 games.

Burns is a major suppressor, but not a complete shutdown spot. His 2026 line is 4-1, 2.11 ERA, 47.0 IP, 48 K, 1.04 WHIP, and his last seven games show 42.0 IP, 2.36 ERA, 1.07 WHIP. The risk is the matchup shape: WSN’s lineup is lefty-heavy at the impact spots, and Burns’ home split has been much softer versus left-handed bats than right-handed bats.

Griffin has matched Burns in run prevention, with 4-1, 2.12 ERA, 46.2 IP, 42 K, 1.03 WHIP. His last seven games show 41.2 IP, 1.94 ERA, 1.03 WHIP, but the model does not fully buy the ERA as the true baseline because CIN’s park and right-handed lineup construction add power risk.

Batter-vs-pitcher history is thin. No active hitter on either projected lineup has a meaningful 20-AB sample in this matchup. Burns has faced some WSN bats: CJ Abrams is 1-for-3 with a double and 1.000 OPS, while James Wood and Daylen Lile are each 0-for-3 with 2 strikeouts. Griffin has no meaningful current CIN hitter sample large enough to move the model.

Great American Ball Park pushes power upward. Since 2025, the park has graded as one of MLB’s most favorable home-run environments, with a home-run park factor around 118–119, third-highest range in MLB. That offsets part of the two-starter quality and keeps the full-game total above the market number.

Bullpen edge goes to WSN by recent condition, even though neither relief group is clean. CIN’s relief group has been unstable, with recent bottom-tier indicators in ERA, FIP, xERA, WHIP, walk rate, and home-run rate, and WSN hit six homers in the prior game against CIN pitching. WSN’s bullpen season profile still carries risk, especially with a poor save rate and inherited-runner damage, so the edge is not large.

Orix ML

I make Orix the better side because the starter gap is real, Rakuten’s offense is ice cold, and Orix’s late bullpen is more trustworthy. But because Orix’s own offense has not exactly been a flamethrower recently, I don’t want to lay a big number.

Bet it at: about -135 or better.
Pass if: Orix drops below 1.70 / about -143.

1. Starter edge: clear Orix

Sean Hjelle has been excellent: 5 games, 1-1, 1.16 ERA, 31 IP, 21 H, 7 BB, 23 K. He has also already faced Rakuten once this season and went 6 IP, 4 H, 3 BB, 3 K, 1 ER in a 4-0 Orix loss. That is a legit quality-start profile, not just lucky ERA fluff.

José Ureña is more hittable: 6 games, 1-2, 4.06 ERA, 31 IP, 34 H, 13 BB, 22 K. His recent starts are also shaky: 6 IP/3 R, 5 IP/5 R, 4 IP/4 R.

Starter lean: Orix by a lot.

2. Recent form: Rakuten offense is the big red flag

Rakuten has lost 5 straight NPB games, and they have scored under 2.5 runs in each of those 5 games. Their last five scores: 0, 1, 2, 2, 2. That is ugly-ugly, not cute-ugly.

Orix has not been a monster offensively either — recent scores include 2, 0, 0, 4, 3 — but they are 3-2 over the last five and just beat Rakuten 2-0.

Recent form lean: Orix, mostly because Rakuten cannot score.

3. Batters / lineup matchup

Rakuten has a few dangerous bats, but the lineup is thin right now. Ryosuke Tatsumi is the clear table-setter at .294 AVG / .399 OBP, Hideto Asamura is still useful at .257 / .345 OBP, and Itsuki Murabayashi leads them with 17 RBI. But Luke Voit has been brutal at .136 AVG / .212 OBP, and several regulars are sitting in the low-.200s or below.

Orix’s lineup is better balanced: Ryoma Nishikawa is at .293, Haruto Watanabe is .295 / .382 OBP with speed, Ryo Ota is .271 / .353 OBP with 18 RBI, Tomoya Mori has 4 HR, and Yuma Mune has 5 HR. It is not a huge offense, but it has more paths to scratch out 3-4 runs.

Batting lean: Orix slightly-to-moderately.

4. Bullpen edge: small Orix lean

Orix’s late-game structure is strong. Andrés Machado has 12 saves and a 1.80 ERA, Ren Mukunoki has 10 holds and a 1.84 ERA, and Soichiro Yamazaki is at 3.00 ERA. Perdomo has been bad, but he does not need to be trusted in the highest leverage here.

Rakuten’s top arms are good too: Shoma Fujihira has 8 saves and a 0.64 ERA, Ren Kajiya is at 1.84, and Sung Chia-Hao is at 1.80. The issue is the depth: Nishigaki is at 5.93, Uchi is at 6.14, and Ureña is less likely than Hjelle to hand over a clean lead in the 7th.

Both pens should be rested enough because the previous matchup was May 12. Orix used Kuri 6.2, Yoshida 0.1, Mukunoki 1, Machado 1; Rakuten used Shoji 6, Nishigaki 1, Kajiya 1, Uchi 1.

Bullpen lean: Orix small.

SFG @ LAD — 5/13/2026

Current matchup: SFG 17-24, 7-12 away; LAD 24-17, 13-9 home. Probable starters: Robbie Ray, 3-4, 2.76 ERA, 1.09 WHIP, 47 K; Shohei Ohtani, 2-2, 0.97 ERA, 0.81 WHIP, 37.0 IP, 42 K. Current market range used: SFG +199 to +235, LAD -240 to -312, full-game total 8.0 to 8.5. Consensus value table uses SFG +215, LAD -270, full-game total 8.0.

Team baseline is heavily LAD: SFG has scored 139 runs with a .244 AVG, .292 OBP, .364 SLG, and 3.4 runs/game; LAD has scored 206 runs with a .265 AVG, .344 OBP, .434 SLG, and 5.02 runs/game. SFG staff profile is 4.03 ERA / 1.34 WHIP; LAD staff profile is 3.42 ERA / 1.139 WHIP.

Lineup basis: SFG — Willy Adames, Luis Arraez, Matt Chapman, Rafael Devers, Casey Schmitt, Heliot Ramos, Jung Hoo Lee, Harrison Bader, Jesus Rodriguez. LAD — Dalton Rushing, Miguel Rojas, Freddie Freeman, Will Smith, Andy Pages, Kyle Tucker, Teoscar Hernández, Max Muncy, Santiago Espinal. Mookie Betts is not expected to start, and Ohtani may not hit while pitching; that creates a material LAD lineup deduction even with Ohtani’s pitching edge.

Ray’s recent form is steady but walk-prone. His May starts total 12 1/3 IP, 8 H, 4 ER, 3 HR, 4 BB, 12 K; his full 2026 game log shows 5+ IP in every start and no outing above 3 ER. His road profile is weaker than the season line: 4.15 ERA in 17 1/3 road innings, with the team losing all three of his road starts.

Ohtani is the main suppressor. He has 6 starts, 37.0 IP, 0.97 ERA, 0.81 WHIP, 42 K, and only 4 ER allowed. His home split: 18 IP, 8 H, 2 ER, 8 BB, 1.00 ERA. His prior start was 7 IP, 4 H, 2 ER, 0 BB, 8 K.

Batter-vs-pitcher edge is mixed. Dodgers with strong historical samples vs Ray include Miguel Rojas, Enrique Hernández if active, and Freddie Freeman; Will Smith and Max Muncy have weaker samples. Ohtani’s pitching history vs SFG is excellent at 0.43 ERA and 25 K in 4 appearances, but most of that is older than the core modeling window, so it was used lightly.

Weather/park: Dodger Stadium is outdoor, with game weather around 63-64°F, 0% precipitation, and light wind. The park/weather adjustment is slight-over for wind but still modest overall because temperature is not especially hot.
