Miami Marlins vs. San Diego Padres Match Details
Fixture: San Diego Padres @ Miami Marlins

Miami ranks top 10 in the MLB in strikeout rate, so look for Musgrove to rack up the Ks in the series opener.

Milwaukee Brewers vs. Los Angeles Dodgers Match Details
Fixture: Los Angeles Dodgers @ Milwaukee Brewers
Date & Time: Monday, August 15, 8:10 p.m. EDT

Brewers' starter Freddy Peralta is just coming back from injury, but he had a flyball rate of 32.4% last year. Betts will also be playing in a park that benefits hitters more so than it does pitchers, so look for him to get on and score tonight.
MLB Player Prop #3: Pick: Ian Happ Over 1.5 Total Bases (+148)
Washington Nationals vs. Chicago Cubs Match Details
Fixture: Chicago Cubs @ Washington Nationals
Date & Time: Monday, August 15, 7:05 p.m. EDT
Venue: Nationals Park, Washington, D.C.
Ian Happ hits for a lot of power pitchers who throw a lot of breaking balls. Josiah Gray, the Nationals' starter tonight, throws his slider 29% of the time and his curveball 25%. Josiah Gray has had an up-and-down year, and recently he's allowed four or more earned runs in four of his previous seven starts. Look for Happ to have a solid game from the three-spot in the Cubs' order.
