Total Home Runs
Ben Rice o0.5 Total Home Runs (+398)
Chris Hatfield
Betting Analyst
Ben Rice has posted a .511 xSLG with a 14.2% barrel rate this season while hitting nearly half of his batted balls at 95 mph or harder. That gives him one of the strongest combination of contact quality and left-handed power in this lineup. Left-handed hitters have launched 12 home runs against him in 67 innings this season, compared to only two homers allowed to righties. They've also produced a .451 SLG and .762 OPS against him.
Total
o7.5 (+101)
Chris Hatfield
Betting Analyst
The Yankees don't necessarily need Arizona to produce much of the scoring. Pfaadt has allowed nine earned runs and 17 hits across 13 innings in September, and the matchup against New York's lefties is exactly where his season-long profile has been most vulnerable.

Quinn Allen
Betting Analyst
Play up to 25%. Fernando Tatis Jr. is finally showing the power expected from him, going deep three times over the last week with a .414 ISO. His hard-hit and barrel numbers are climbing, and Eury Perez has struggled badly with home runs lately. Miami’s bullpen gives Tatis another favorable path to a long ball.
Total Bases
Griffin Conine u1.5 Total Bases (-235)
Projection 0.71
EV Model Rating
Star rating: 3 out of 5
20% of the time that Griffin Conine has started against a righty hurler this year, he has been lifted for a pinch-hitter.. The leading projection system (THE BAT) ranks Petco Park as the 6th-worst ballpark in baseball for run-scoring.. Petco Park's altitude is near sea-level, one of the lowest in the majors, which generally leads to less offense.. In today's matchup, Griffin Conine is at a disadvantage facing the league's 6th-deepest RF fences given that he hits his flyballs to the pull field at a 37.1% rate (92nd percentile).. Playing on the road generally lessens hitter metrics across the board due to the lack of home field advantage, which should be the case for Griffin Conine in today's game.

Todd Cordell
Betting Analyst
Don’t look now but Kyle Tucker is crushing the baseball.
He is hitting .277 over his last 20 games with excellent metrics across the board, headlined by a .369 ISO and 13.6% barrel rate.
Tucker’s outputs have been excellent against pitchers of both handedness so it shouldn’t much matter who the San Francisco Giants have on the hill any given at bat.
Total

Todd Cordell
Betting Analyst
I trust the Los Angeles Dodgers to score in bulk, making the Over an appealing play up to 53%.
They’re not only getting on base consistently, but hitting for real power again. Just two teams have bested their 9.1% barrel rate during the month of September.
The conditions at Dodger Stadium are projected to provide more than a 20% boost to home runs, which should help convert hard contact into production.

Aaron Judge projects as the best home run batter in the majors, via the leading projection system (THE BAT X).. Aaron Judge is projected to hit 2nd in the lineup in today's game.. The leading projection system (THE BAT) projects Yankee Stadium as the 7th-best ballpark in the league for RHB home runs.. Yankee Stadium has the 7th-lowest average fence height among all parks..

Yankee Stadium ranks as the #7 ballpark in the majors for left-handed home runs, per the leading projection system (THE BAT).. Yankee Stadium has the 7th-lowest average fence height among all parks.. Hitting from the opposite that Drew Rasmussen throws from, Austin Wells will have an edge in today's matchup.. Extreme flyball batters like Austin Wells generally hit better against extreme groundball pitchers like Drew Rasmussen.. The Tampa Bay Rays infield defense grades out as the 2nd-weakest among every team on the slate today.

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.

More MLB Picks & Betting Tools
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.
