Pittsburgh Steelers @ Los Angeles Rams

The 3-2 Pittsburgh Steelers will travel to Los Angeles to play the 3-3 Rams. Road games in Los Angeles for teams like Pittsburgh, who may have the best traveling fans in the league, often feel like home games. I expect it to be loud for the Steelers while they are on defense in SoFi Stadium.

The Steelers' offense is averaging 15.8 points per game this year. They are coming off a bye, but even with the extra preparation time, I don't feel confident in a Kenny Pickett vs. Aaron Donald matchup being the stage for the Steelers' offense to break out.

The Rams' offense averages 23 points per game, but the injuries are piling up for the running back room. Adam Schefter is reporting that Kyren Williams is expected to miss this Week 7 matchup with an ankle injury. I don't like Matthew Stafford and the Rams' chances to score many points when T.J. Watt can rush the passer without much concern for the run game.

Bet: Under 43.5 (-110)

Arizona Diamondbacks @ Philadelphia Phillies

Merrill Kelly will take the hill for the Diamondbacks tonight. He's a right-handed pitcher who has allowed a .222 ISO to his last 41 lefties this season. Kelly had a great start in his 2023 postseason debut against the Dodgers. But he might have a harder time against a Phillies lineup that has performed well.

Kyle Schwarber, Bryce Harper and Brandon Marsh are all left-handed hitters who are dominating against right-handed pitchers.

Schwarber has smacked a .225 ISO and wOBA of .315 over the last 30 days. Meanwhile, Harper has hit a .469 ISO and woBA of .528 against his last 43 righties. Those two hit home runs last night and are on track to hit some extra-base hits again tonight.

Lastly, Brandon Marsh has hit a .242 ISO and wOBA of .356 against his last 40 righties. He's struck out 37.5% of the time against righties, but when he makes contact, it's loud against righties.

Parlay Odds: +726

2023 ZOZO CHAMPIONSHIP

The first golfer to target this week is Adam Schenk. Simply put, Schenk is one of the best golfers in this field, and this price is too long just because of a missed cut at last week's Shriners Children's Open.

He finished in the top 10 of the FedEx Cup rankings last season and ended the season in brilliant form. After missing the cut at the PGA Championship, Schenk went on to make eight of his final 11 cuts with six top-10 finishes.

Schenk flirted with a win time and again last season, and his previous success at Accordia makes him a good candidate to back this week. He's played here three times, finishing inside the top 30 all three years, and is coming off a T16 performance last season.

With a parkland-style layout, Accordia rewards accurate ball strikers who can avoid trouble and hit greens in regulation. Given Schenk's nearly 68 GIR%, it is not shocking he typically plays well here.

Bet: Adam Schenk (+4000) | .5u
