Contributor

The Reds are rarely an enjoyable team to back offensively, but this matchup presents a favorable opportunity. Milwaukee Brewers left-hander Kyle Harrison has struggled in his last few outings, posting a 6.94 ERA and 1.63 WHIP while allowing a barrel rate over 13%. Harrison also draws four elite-rated hitters and another with a strong rating in Batters-Box’s current-season dataset. Cincinnati has been swinging a hot bat lately, posting a 116 wRC+, .343 wOBA and .783 OPS over its last 12 games. The strikeouts remain a concern, but with Harrison struggling, backing the Reds feels fun here.

Betting Analyst

Jake Bauers looks good to hit a home run today. Singer’s sinker-heavy approach surrenders a vulnerable 42.6% hard-hit rate and a .342 xwOBA, while Bauers crushes right-handed pitching with elite power metrics. He leads Milwaukee with a 13.4% barrel rate, a massive 53.1% hard-hit rate, and a .469 xSLG. In Great American Ball Park’s short porch, expect Bauers to launch Singer’s sinker over the right-field wall.

PNC Park projects as the #3 field in the game for LHB BABIP, via the leading projection system (THE BAT).. PNC Park sits at the 6th-highest altitude in the majors.

The leading projection system (THE BAT X) estimates Josh Lowe's true offensive skill to be a .304, indicating that he has suffered from bad luck this year given the .031 disparity between that mark and his actual .273 wOBA.

Travis Bazzana appears to be just fine after getting drilled in the hand by the Blue Jays a few days ago. He has since made two starts, putting together multi-hit performances in each.

Detroit starter Jackson Jobe is a fastball-first pitcher, and Bazzana is sporting a .312 average, .271 ISO, and near 50% hard hit rate against righty fastballs.

Todd Cordell
Betting Analyst

Detroit's .111 ISO against righties the past month slots them dead last, and Gavin Williams’ home run suppression numbers are much better at home.

Jobe is not near the talent Williams is but the Cleveland Guardians sit 30th in barrel rate against righties the last 30 days. They aren’t hitting for much power, which significantly lowers their offensive ceiling.

Play to 54%.

Griffin Conine has been pulled from the game early 21% of the time when starting against a right-handed starter this year.. The #1 field in baseball for suppressing home runs to LHB, via the leading projection system (THE BAT), is LoanDepot Park.. LoanDepot Park's elevation is near sea-level, one of the lowest in the majors, which often leads to lower offensive output.. The LoanDepot Park roof figures to be closed today, making weather conditions in this game -7° colder than the average outdoor game on the slate — favorable for pitching.. Griffin Conine pulls a lot of his flyballs (36.2% — 88th percentile) and has the misfortune of hitting them in the direction of the league's 4th-deepest RF fences in today's game.

While James Wood is more productive facing righties, the power numbers vs. southpaws (17.3% barrel rate, 53.8% hard hit rate) are still outstanding.

He has faced Justin Wrobleski three times in his young career. He walked in one of them, and homered in the two at-bats.

Andrew Alvarez has posted a 4.41 xERA over 10 starts in hitter-friendly conditions this season, and favorable weather is projected tonight.

Justin Wrobleski pitches well in stretches but is vulnerable to power. He has allowed 1.45 HR/9 this year, and the Nationals have a lot more pop with the recent return of James Wood.

Target the Over to 52%.

What Is An MLB Computer Pick?

MLB picks are bet suggestions based on our computer's assessment of the game. Tons of betting data goes into a computer pick, including pitching matchups, injury reports, analytics, and even recent betting trends.

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.
