Max Scherzer Over 7.5 Ks (-130) vs. Braves
When Scherzer faced the Braves earlier this month just two starts ago, he had a whopping 11 strikeouts, so I think he can go over on this total tonight. He's hit this over eight times this season in his 16 starts, with 11 strikeouts in three of those and 10 in two of them. So when he hits this over, he really hits the over. The Braves also have the second-highest team strikeouts total in the league with 1,085, so I like Scherzer to have another huge night and hit this over.

Paul Goldschmidt Over 0.5 HRs (+350) vs. Rockies
Goldschmidt has three home runs in his last seven games, five in his last 15 games and 29 total home runs this season. German Marquez will be on the mound for the Rockies in this game and in 37 at-bats against Marquez, Goldschmidt has 15 hits, including a single, two doubles and four home runs. So with his success against Marquez working in his favor here, I like Goldschmidt to hit another home run in this one against the Rockies.
Tony Gonsolin Under 4.5 Hits Allowed (+110) vs. Brewers
Gonsolin has hit this under in his last two outings and in 16 of his 21 starts this season. And in those last two starts, he's hit the under by a lot with three hits allowed to the Padres and just two to the Royals. The Brewers are also on the lower-end of the league when it comes to total hits, at 22nd with 912. So I'm all-in on Gonsolin to keep the hits to a minimum in this outing.
