Taj Bradley is striking out 26.9% of the batters he faces for the Tampa Bay Rays. That translates to nearly 10 per nine innings, so he's been solid in that area. His line is so low that it's very easy to predict that he will hit the over, especially against a team like the San Diego Padres.

4) Framber Valdez: Under 6.5 -155

Framber Valdez is not expected to hit the over today. With a 24.2% K rate and 8.73 K/9, it's not hard to see why he's not expected to mow down hitters. He is also up against the surging, red-hot Kansas City Royals, who boast an excellent offense led by Bobby Witt Jr.

3) Pablo Lopez: Over 5.5 -150

Pablo Lopez is striking out 26.4% of batters faced this season and has a K/9 of almost 10. He's been very solid for the Minnesota Twins, and with a lower line today, he's a great pick to hit the over. He faces the struggling Toronto Blue Jays today, too.

2) Blake Snell: Over 7.5 -155 (Safest pick of the day)

Despite his line being higher than anyone else on this list, Blake Snell is today's safest pick. He sports an incredible 33% K rate and a 12.08 K/9, nearly a career-high for him. Plus, he's up against the Miami Marlins, so he has a great matchup. Take the over with confidence.

1) George Kirby: Over 6.5 +100 (Bold Prediction of the day)

George Kirby is the bold pick for today (Credits: IMAGN)

George Kirby is today's bold prediction. Not only does the Seattle Mariners' ace have a fairly high over/under today, but he also is below-average in the strikeout department (23.5% K rate, 8.75 K/9). However, against the Los Angeles Angels, he has a great chance to defy the odds.
