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.

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.

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.

Play up to 60%. This Over is more about Los Angeles doing the heavy lifting. Lodolo is struggling, while Cincinnati's bullpen has a brutal 6.17 FIP over the last week, allowing 2.17 HR/9, and walks have been an issue as well. The Reds may only need to chip in a couple of runs for 7.5 to clear.

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.

The New York Yankees have 3 batters in their projected lineup today with a high (i.e. over 27%) underlying K% (according to the leading projection system, THE BAT X) (Spencer Jones, Ryan McMahon, Aaron Judge).. According to the weather report, the temperature and humidity for this matchup will be the 7th-best for hitting on the schedule today.. Dean Kremer has a reverse platoon split and is fortunate enough to be facing 6 opposite-handed batters in this matchup.. Dean Kremer will have the benefit of the home field advantage today, which figures to boost all of his metrics across the board.. In his previous outing, Dean Kremer turned in a great performance and notched 9 strikeouts.

Built 840 feet above sea level, Target Field has the 5th-highest altitude among all stadiums, which generally leads to better offense.. Out of every team in action today, the 14th-worst infield defense is that of the the Minnesota Twins.. In the last 7 days, Aaron Judge's 40% rate of hitting balls at a HR-optimizing launch angle (between 23° and 34°) shows big improvement over his seasonal rate of 18.9%.

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.

In MLB, Wrigley Field's LF dimensions are the 5th-shallowest.. Seiya Suzuki will benefit from the home field advantage in today's game, which ought to boost all of his stats..

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.

Built 5197 feet above sea level, Coors Field has the highest elevation in the majors, which usually leads (as a rule of thumb) to more offense..

Neither the Mariners nor the Angels have fared well against left-handed pitching this season, ranking 25th and tied for 16th in wRC+, respectively, in the split. Los Angeles is one of baseball's worst offenses overall, and Seattle has done most of its damage against right-handers, so solving Reid Detmers may prove difficult.

The leading projection system (THE BAT) projects Angel Stadium as the worst park in the game for run-scoring.. Jose Siri pulls many of his flyballs (33.7% — 75th percentile) and will have to hit them out towards the league's 11th-deepest LF fences in today's matchup.. Jose Siri has recorded a .204 Expected wOBA (xwOBA) since the start of last season, grading out in the 6th percentile for hitting ability according to the leading projection system (THE BAT X)'s interpretation of Statcast data.. Jose Siri has compiled a .092 Expected Batting Average since the start of last season, placing in the 0th percentile according to the leading projection system (THE BAT X)'s interpretation of Statcast data.. As it relates to plate discipline, Jose Siri's ability is quite poor, sporting a 5.02 K/BB rate this year while placing in in the 21st percentile.

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.

Chase Field grades out as the #3 field in MLB for overall righty offense, per the leading projection system (THE BAT)..

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.. Tim Tawa will benefit from the home field advantage today, which figures to boost all of his stats.. There has been a significant improvement in Tim Tawa's launch angle from last season's 7.5° to 11.7° this season.

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.

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.

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.
