Aaron Judge is in a prime spot to bounce back after a brutal Sunday against a Minnesota Twins pitching staff led by right-hander Dean Kremer. Judge has gone over this prop more than 57% of the time over the last three seasons across a 373-game sample, while Kremer has allowed a 57.1% hard-hit rate, nearly a 20% barrel rate and a 76.2% elevation rate to his last 30 right-handed hitters faced. Kremer also owns a 7.62 ERA and 1.85 WHIP while allowing a barrel rate above 13%. With the matchup heavily favoring Judge, we are backing the Yankees captain to boom tonight.

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.

Acuna Jr. has teed off for four homers and a 1.078 OPS through 12 September games, and he has a home run and career .945 against Cubs starter David Peterson. Acuna has also tagged lefties for a .190 ISO this season, so I like him to leave the yard with the wind blowing out to left-center field tonight.

This Over 9.5 is in play to -115 because both teams are set up for success at the dish with the forecast calling for the wind to be blowing out to left-center field at a 14-16 mph clip at Wrigley Field tonight. Braves righty Reynaldo Lopez sports a 5.00 xERA and 4.35 xFIP as a starter, and Cubs lefty David Peterson has surrendered a healthy 38.8% hard-hit rate and 37.9% squared-up contact rate since joining the club in June. Plus, both teams are eyeing statistical correction at the dish. There are too many proven -- and dangerous -- hitters in both lineups for Chicago and Atlanta to rank 26th and 25th in BABIP across the past week.

EV Model Rating
Star rating: 4 out of 5
The leading projection system (THE BAT X) projects Joshua Baez in the 93rd percentile when it comes to his home run talent.. Busch Stadium has the 8th-lowest fences in Major League Baseball.. A correlation exists between high heat and more offense (and fewer Ks), and this game is forecasted to have the hottest temperature of all games on the slate today at 83°.. Joshua Baez hits a lot of his flyballs to center field (38.1% — 78th percentile) and is fortunate to face baseball's 7th-shallowest CF fences in today's game.. Extreme flyball bats like Joshua Baez generally hit better against extreme groundball pitchers like Landen Roupp.

Shay Whitcomb has primarily hit in the back-half of the batting order this season (95% of the time), but he is projected to bat 3rd on the lineup card in this game.. Busch Stadium has the 8th-lowest fences in Major League Baseball.. A correlation exists between high heat and more offense (and fewer Ks), and this game is forecasted to have the hottest temperature of all games on the slate today at 83°.. Hitting from the opposite that Quinn Mathews throws from, Shay Whitcomb will have an advantage in today's game.. Despite posting a .232 wOBA this year, the leading projection system (THE BAT X) believes Shay Whitcomb has had some very poor luck given the .043 gap between that figure and his estimated true talent wOBA of .275.

Playable to 27%

Hunter Goodman didn't hit a home run, or even record a barrel, from August 27 to September 6, but he's now hit a pair of home runs in his last five games and appears to be turning a corner at the plate. Tonight, he gets to face Casey Mize, who has allowed a 21.9% barrel rate and 59.4% hard-hit rate to right-handed hitters during the last 30 days. This matchup is about as good as it gets for Goodman, in terms of home run potential.

Playable to 50%

Casey Mize has struggled across the platoon in recent weeks, but he's still done a good job limiting quality contact in the air, which should help him keep the damage reasonable against the Rockies. Sugano hasn't allowed many barrels lately, either. If both of these starting pitchers can keep the ball in the yard on Monday, runs could be at a relative premium in the early frames.

Both teams should have all of their high leverage relievers available, too, which could limit scoring opportunities in the late innings.

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.

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.

Isolating Sandy Alcantara's three most-used pitches against left-handed batters, Ketel Marte leads the Diamondbacks in both barrel rate (11.6%) and near home runs (17), according to PropFinder.

Marte also has an encouraging track record against Alcantara. He hit the ball hard in six of eight career at-bats, and left the park with one of them.

I have the Diamondbacks priced at 57%.

They are fifth in line drives and second in fly balls against right-handed pitching during September.

That sets up well vs. Sandy Alcantara, who has allowed a lot of fly balls while striking out less than 10% of opposing batters the past 30 days.

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.

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.
