    Miami Marlins starting pitcher Trevor Rogers.

    Dylan Cease was pulled after 5.2 innings on Wednesday night, cashing our +140 outs prop by the slimmest of margins to give us our fourth straight Look of the Day winner. Let's stay hot with our favorite MLB prop for Thursday's shortened slate.

    Look of the Day: Trevor Rogers under 2.5 earned runs allowed (-125 DraftKings )

    Marlins at Braves, 7:20 p.m. ET

    Rogers is set to make his first start since being traded from the Miami Marlins to the Baltimore Orioles. The left-hander isn't having a great season, but we see why the O's took a chance on him at the MLB trade deadline.

    After a rough start to the year, Rogers has been fantastic over the last two months. He's given up two earned runs or fewer in five straight starts and eight of his last nine. Walks have been an issue for him, but Rogers hasn't surrendered more than six hits in 13 straight starts.

    As for the matchup, the Cleveland Guardians have been struggling against left-handed pitching of late. The Guardians are batting just .214 with .641 OPS and a 95 wRC+ against lefties over the last week. In that same span Cleveland has only a 29.0 percent hard-hit rate and a 41.8 percent ground-ball rate.

    That's great news for Rogers, who ranks in the 69th percentile in ground-ball rate this season. In his lone start against the Guardians this season, Rogers gave up only two hits and one run in 5.0 innings of work. We like him to make a good impression with his new team.
