Total Home Runs
Jo Adell o0.5 Total Home Runs (+560)
Quinn Allen
Betting Analyst
Play up to 20%. Adell’s power metrics aren’t at their peak, but the matchup still offers upside. He owns a .281 ISO against left-handed pitching and a 39.5% fly-ball rate at home. After going deep Sunday and posting a 41.2% recent hard-hit rate, Adell is worth a small home-run sprinkle.
Moneyline
CLE (-151)
Quinn Allen
Betting Analyst
Play up to 62%. Gavin Williams is in excellent form, sporting a 0.56 FIP across his last 13 innings and a 2.60 FIP over the past month. That sets up well against a struggling White Sox lineup, while Cleveland’s red-hot offense gets a favorable matchup against Sean Newcomb.

Strikeouts Thrown
Nick Lodolo o4.5 Strikeouts Thrown (+115)
Josh Inglis
Betting Analyst
Two things can be true: I can not like a pitcher, but I can still like his Over strikeout props. That's where I am with Nick Lodolo today, with his plus-money punchout prop carrying a fair price of -115. The projection is 91 pitches and 4.76 Ks today for the lefty, who has hit the Over on his K prop in three straight starts. That 91-pitch projection might be low, as Lodolo has thrown 97, 100 and 95 pitches across his last three starts. He might get hit by the Dodgers, the No. 11 offense in wRC+ in the second half, but he can miss bats in good pitching conditions, in a tough park with the winds blowing in and temperatures dropping.
Total Home Runs
Mookie Betts o0.5 Total Home Runs (+520)
Quinn Allen
Betting Analyst
Play up to 20%. Mookie Betts is finding his power stroke, homering twice in his last six games with a .389 ISO. He's also putting 56.3% of his contact in the air while posting an 18.8% barrel rate recently. That combination of lift and quality contact makes Betts an appealing home-run target tonight.

Mets starter Jonah Tong might have strikeout potential, but he gets hit hard, with 22 dingers allowed in 107 Triple-A innings. He's allowed eight runs over his two games since being recalled and is a good candidate today to hunt for homers with some big names on the other side. I haven't hit Pete Alonso much of late, as the price has been shy of three dollars, which is always a tough one to bite on, but he's sitting at 23.3% today and is in the buy zone for me. All I'm getting at that price is a guy with 14 homers in the second half (T-7) and the second-best xwOBA in baseball over that stretch. It's righty-on-righty, but Tong has worse splits against right-handed bats. I'm playing this to 25% or 4x.

Nothing crazy here, just a projected 9% ROI on the Over, per THE BAT, which is predicting a total of 9.47 runs. Usually in these cases, the market doesn't account enough for one team, and there's value in that moneyline. But today, the missing value is equal on both sides, as both teams' totals show expected value to the Over. Jonah Tong has given up eight runs over his two games since being called up from Triple-A, where he had a mediocre 4.54 ERA but was missing bats. He's getting hit hard when he does, though, with 22 homers allowed in 107 minor-league innings.
On the other side, Brandon Young's 5.22 FIP in the second half indicates a pitcher whose sub-4.00 ERA isn't quite as it appears.

Luis Garcia Jr. has a .384 wOBA, .564 SLG, and 13.6% barrel rate against right-handed pitching since the first of August. This while leading the team in hard hit balls by a margin of 10.
The splits are working in his favor on both fronts as Dean Kremer has allowed a whopping .264 ISO to left-handed bats on the season.

I’m backing the New York Yankees up to 59%.
They lead the majors in barrel rate against right-handed pitching – while slotting fourth in home runs – despite Aaron Judge missing more than 80 games.
Minnesota Twins pitcher Dean Kremer ranks last among today’s projected starters in barrel rate over the last month at 12.3%.

We are running back Pete Crow-Armstrong after the Cubs superstar hit multiple balls to the warning track Sunday, all above 103.2 MPH. He has been making a ton of hard contact lately, posting a .487 SLG, .709 xSLG and .256 ISO over his last ten games, along with a 55.2% hard-hit rate and 20.7% barrel rate. Crow-Armstrong carries an elite Batters-Box rating and covers 100% of Reynaldo Lopez's pitch mix. The last 60 lefties Lopez has faced own a .359 xBA and .606 xSLG. I grabbed this at -101 and would play it up to $1.20.

ATL (+112)

Betting Analyst
The Atlanta Braves at 47% are an absolute buy for me, as I price them closer to a 53% favorite. That gives us a very strong edge at the current market price. Cubs starter David Peterson's path to getting right-handed hitters out is by tunneling his slider off his sinker. The problem for Peterson is that the Braves' right-handed bats, including Ronald Acuña Jr., Ozzie Albies and Austin Riley, are all very aggressive low-ball hitters against left-handed pitching. If Peterson's sinker doesn't have that sharp break, these Braves hitters are going to get their barrels underneath it and drive the ball with power.

Betting Analyst
It's Tomoyuki Sugano day, and that means I'm backing homers in Colorado, despite having to pay a premium. His HR/9 over the last two seasons is by far the worst of any starter on today's slate. Only two other pitchers this year have a worse HR/9 among starters with at least 130 innings pitched. I'm putting Jackson Merrill and his red-hot form at a similar probability to Pete Alonso to go deep. He's one of the hottest hitters in baseball over the last week, slugging 1.040 with three homers. He's a lefty Sugano doesn't want to see, as left-handed bats have taken him deep once every 16.9 plate appearances compared to 27.3 for right-handed hitters. It's the best HR pitcher on the board against the best bat over the last week at Coors Field.

Reid Detmers u17.5 Outs Recorded (+107)
Josh Inglis
Betting Analyst
I really think fading Reid Detmers today might be the smartest betting choice I'm going to make all day. I'm already on his Under 6.5 strikeouts, but I want more on this edge, so I'm adding his Under 17.5 outs with plenty of confidence and would play this to -125. One of my favorite pitcher edges is finding guys coming off season-highs in pitches, but today with Reid, it's at another level. Detmers is coming off 112 pitches, which is a career-high. He's also at 168 innings this year after throwing just 87 and 63 innings over the previous two seasons. I'm betting on Detmers' efficiency dipping today, especially in the later innings. I have this one circled with a red Sharpie.

Reid Detmers u6.5 Strikeouts Thrown (-108)
Josh Inglis
Betting Analyst
A lot has to go right for seven punch-outs for any pitcher, and especially for Reid Detmers, who I have a fair price of around -135. The biggest concern for the lefty is the workload. He's coming off a 112-pitch outing, a number he hadn't sniffed in his six-year MLB career. He's also at 168 innings after throwing just 151 combined over the previous two seasons. I don't care about the matchup (priced in) or the form (priced in). I just know that after those levels of output, efficiency and stamina are going to break down, and that's why I think this is one of the best betting angles on the board today.

Corbin Burnes didn't allow a run in his first outing post-Tommy John, but I can't give him this much benefit of the doubt opposite Sandy Alcantara and the Marlins. Miami isn't a great offense, but it's not terrible, either, and the Diamondbacks right-hander struggled with command over his three innings of work. Take the plus money on the visitors with so much uncertainty surrounding the ace.

The Chase Field roof figures to be closed today, making conditions in this game 6° hotter than the average outdoor game of all games on the slate today — favorable for offense..

How To Use MLB Computer Picks
You can use the tables above to help with your bets during the MLB season. The first section includes free, computer-generated picks for daily Major League Baseball games. Baseball bettors can choose to follow the computer, fade the computer, or simply use our computer picks as one element of their betting strategy.
This page also tees up access to deeper betting trends. For example, if a club's run line is favored, you can check their ATS trends, potentially opening up some quality underdog bets.
If you're ready to get started with MLB betting, visit our dedicated page highlighting the best MLB betting sites.
Moneyline
This is the most common and easiest wager for a bettor to make when it comes to MLB picks. Basically, to win an MLB moneyline pick, you just have to choose which team will win the game.
It's simple: if you bet the White Sox moneyline over the Red Sox and Chicago wins, you win your bet.
Run line
The run line is another name for a point spread that you may be more familiar with in NBA and NFL betting. A point spread varies in the NFL and NBA from as little as 0.5 points up to double-digit spreads. A baseball run line is almost always a 1.5-point spread.
The favorite will be -1.5 while the underdog will be +1.5. At the end of the game, if you take away 1.5 runs from the favorite or add 1.5 runs to the underdog and they end up winning the game, you win your MLB pick against the spread.
Totals (Over/Under)
Another common wager is to bet on the total in baseball, which is a bet on the total runs scored in the baseball game. You are simply choosing whether the final score will be Over or Under that total. Betting the Over/Under on a matchup is a great way to get started in MLB score predictions.

NRFI/YRFI MLB Picks
A new and emerging MLB betting market is the NRFI/YRFI bet. These are quick-hitters in which you make a wager on the O/U total of the first inning, typically set at 0.5 runs. Thus, the bet is coined as No Run First Inning or Yes Run First Inning. No need to wait a couple of hours to cash a bet when it could be done in 20 minutes or less.
First Five Innings MLB Picks
The above options, moneyline, run line, and Over/Under, can also be placed on the first five innings of a game rather than the full game. Many experienced bettors will use this approach because, typically, this will take bullpens out of the equation and make your job researching the game easier. After all, you can just focus on the starting pitchers.
MLB Picks And Parlays
If you want to combine multiple games into one mega wager, you may consider making a parlay bet. A parlay is when you pick two or more MLB games on one single betting ticket, which will increase the payout of your bet.
But it also comes with more risk, as each of those MLB picks must hit for your ticket to pay out. Our parlay calculator is a great tool to find out what your potential payout would be.
If you're looking for more MLB picks content, check out our consensus picks and prop bets pages to get your fix. While you're at it, head over to our MLB promos page to get the best bang for your buck.
MLB Player Props
Player props are a great way to hone in on an individual matchup for a game. These types of wagers will be individualized for a player: Will Shohei Ohtani hit a home run? Will Gerrit Cole get seven strikeouts? Will Paul Skenes allow two earned runs?
You simply choose whether this outcome will happen or not. Keeping up to date on daily pitching matchups and batters on a hot streak can give you a huge boost when placing player prop bets.
MLB Futures Picks
Lastly, prior to the season and even throughout the season, you can place futures bets on all the long-term awards and outcomes. You can lock in an MLB pick on who will win their division, which squad will win the World Series, or even who will win the Rookie of the Year, MVP, or Cy Young.
