Best MLB Plays for Wednesday, Aug. 13

Orioles F5 vs. Mariners (+120 at DraftKings)

The Baltimore Orioles fell short against the red-hot Seattle Mariners on Tuesday, 1-0.

Mariners right-hander Logan Gilbert hasn’t led through five innings in six of his last seven starts.

Orioles southpaw Trevor Rogers has been terrific early in games this season, posting a 6-1-3 mark in the first five innings. His lone loss came to the Cubs earlier this month, when he allowed one run.

Seattle owns a 1-9-4 mark in the first five innings in its last 14 Game 2s of a road series dating to early May.

Marlins F5 at Guardians (+100 at DraftKings)

The Cleveland Guardians are getting hot at the right time, coming off their 10th win in the last 12 games in Monday’s 4-3 victory over the Miami Marlins.

Eury Perez starts for Miami, with the Marlins going 6-1 in his last seven starts in the first five innings. Perez has allowed six runs in that span.

Gavin Williams starts for Cleveland after coming within two outs of a no-hitter in his last outing, a 4-1 victory over the Mets.

Miami is 7-4-2 in the first five innings in its last 13 road games and could catch Williams in a letdown spot after his near no-hitter.

Joe Ryan Over 6.5 Strikeouts (-115 at DraftKings)

The Minnesota Twins lost again to the New York Yankees on Tuesday, 9-1, marking their ninth straight loss to New York since 2023.

Joe Ryan gets the start in the Bronx, with his strikeout prop set at 6.5. Although he has finished under this mark in three straight starts, he is 8-5 to the over when the line is set at 6.5 or higher.

Ryan’s strikeout rate is 28.2% — in the 86th percentile in MLB — and he walks batters just 4.8% of the time. Expect him to rack up strikeouts against this Yankees lineup.
