Tonight, a handful of rivalries will take place: Dodgers vs Padres; Reds vs Guardians; Cubs vs Phillies; even the Mariners vs Diamondbacks, a matchup made from their Cactus League proximity.

The Yankees send Cy Young Award candidate Max Fried to the mound to face the Royals, a team they defeated three times in the playoffs way back in the 1970s. (

What is the expiration date on a rivalry?) The Houston Astros have Lance McCullers Jr. pitching at home against the White Sox.

McCullers has resurrected his career, and stands as one of the feel-good stories of the MLB's first half

Here are five picks for Tuesday MLB games.

Kyle Tucker to Hit Home Run: +265

So far, Phillies' rookie starting pitcher Mick Abel has not allowed a home run after two starts in the major leagues. The thin Oregonian has a miniscule 0.79 ERA since joining the Fightin' Phils rotation in May.

But, his magic can't last forever. Not even Harry Houdini could make things disappear indefinitely.

There will come a time when Abel will leave a four-seamer out over the plate too far and be punished for it. If he does that tonight, Kyle Tucker of the Cubs could smack his 13th home run.

Tucker has been everything the Cubbies could have hoped for in his first season in the National League

He's on a one-year contract, which means Tucker is playing in his walk year before entering the free agent market. The left-handed power hitter will command lots of money this offseason. I suspect he'll have a torrid summer.

BET: $100 on Tucker to hit a home run, at $265

Cal Raleigh to Hit a Home Run: +210

In his last four games, Raleigh has three home runs and seven runs batted in. The Seattle catcher is on pace for in excess of 60 home runs, which would shatter the single-season record for a player at his position.

Do I think Raleigh will hit 60 home runs? No. Do I think he will win the home run title? Probably not, considering Aaron Judge exists.

But, do I think Raleigh can square up a pitch from Arizona's Brandon Pfaadt and send his 27th homer over the fence? Yes, I definitely do. Pfaadt has allowed 12(!) four-baggers in 13 starts.

His name actually sounds like the sound a baseball bat might make when it crushes a baseball (PFAADT!!!!!).

BET: $50 and if Cal Raleigh hits a homer, you win $105.

José Ramírez to Record 2+ Total Bases: -130

Total bases are the home run's quirky little cousin. A lot of people overlook total bases, but without them, how would we know what a slugging percentage is? The OPS of your favorite hitter? Try that one out, Poindexter.

If you read this column regularly you know how much I like José Ramírez, regularly one of the most underrated players in MLB. Ramírez is once again raking: .333 with an OBP near .400 and a SLG near 600.

That means his OPS is almost 1000, the territory where Judge, Ohtani, and Babe Ruth live

Ramírez has hit safely in 30 of his last 31 games. He's reached base in 35 consecutive games. In his last 31 games he has a .400 average and has reached base 41 times.

He's not red hot - Ramírez is super red hot.

BET: José Ramírez to have at least two total bases ($130 at -130 to win $100)

Grant Holmes 6+ Strikeouts: +110 from FanDuel

The Atlanta Braves are mired in what may be a season-destroying losing stretch. However, tonight I love the strikeout odds I found for Grant Holmes.

Wager $50 and if he records at least six K's against the Brewers. you win $55. The Brewers strike out about .93 times per inning, or eight times per game.

BET: $50 on Grant Holmes (ATL) to record at least 6 strikeouts (win $55 and your stake of $50)

Tuesday MLB Same-Game Parlay Best Bet

Four-Leg Parlay on Nationals vs Mets at +617

• Juan Soto to Score 1+ Runs
• Francisco Lindor to Record 1+ Hits
• James Wood to Record 1+ Hits
• Brandon Nimmo to Record 1+ RBI

This NL East matchup will take place in Citi Field, where the Mets are 24-7, the best home mark in baseball. However, the Nationals are 2-2 against the Mets this season.

Washington has managed to score at least five runs in three of its games against New York

I suspect plenty of left turns on the bases tonight when these two teams meet. Juan Soto has reached base in 11 consecutive games.

His slash line over that stretch is 324/519/622 as he's finally showing his stuff at the plate in the first year of his expensive Mets' contract.

Nimmo has 10 jacks this season as he seems on his way to setting a new personal high in home runs

If these four player props all happen, your $100 wager with FanDuel will be worth $617 plus your original stake.
