Todd Cordell
Betting Analyst

Vinnie Pasquantino is hammering Tanner Bibee’s pitch mix, hitting .303 with a .242 ISO and 53.6% hard hit rate over the last 25 games when facing right-handed fastballs, cutters, and changeups.

Those are Bibee’s most used pitches, and account for well over 70% of what he throws to lefties.

Pasquantino has a shockingly good track record against Bibee. He is 11-18 with 10 hard hit balls and five extra base hits, two of which went the distance.

The Under is playable to 55%.

Tanner Bibee has pitched well against Kansas City this season, posting a 3.48 xERA – nearly a full run below his season output of 4.46.

Michael Wacha is an innings eater who held the Guardians to three runs over 23 innings this season. He’ll likely pitch deep into this one, giving the Guardians less time to produce against the Royals’ underwhelming bullpen.

Vargas has been Chicago's hottest power hitter, with an OPS+ nearly two and a half times league average over the past week. He also has hit lefthanders better than righties and should have a chance to take Quintana out.

Colorado starter Jose Quintana has battled elbow trouble and has one of the slowest fastballs in MLB. Chicago has been scoring runs and Colorado allowing them lately. The Rockies also match up well with Sox starter Davis Martin.

Play up to 16%. Ivan Herrera has shown serious pop lately, homering three times in his last six games while carrying a .417 ISO. His 23.1% barrel rate and 46.2% fly-ball rate add to the appeal against Dustin May, who has allowed 1.96 HR/9 across his last five outings.

The leading projection system (THE BAT X) projects Ivan Herrera in the 90th percentile when estimating his overall offensive talent.. Ivan Herrera is projected to hit 2nd in the batting order in today's game.. The #8 stadium in Major League Baseball for boosting base hits to right-handed batters, according to the leading projection system (THE BAT), is American Family Field.. American Family Field has the 4th-shortest average fence height among all major league stadiums.. Built 602 feet above sea level, American Family Field has the 8th-highest elevation in the majors, which usually leads (as a rule of thumb) to higher offensive output.

Kyle Schwarber will have the handed advantage over Griffin Jax, and has posted a .400 ISO at home against RHP this season. Schwarber also had a 50% hard-hit rate in the month of September. If anybody's gonna get one through the wind tonight, Schwarber is the best option to do so.

Jason Ence
Betting Analyst

I'm backing the Under to 51% in a game that will likely see weather delays—and possibly an early end. Winds will be blowing in from center field at up to 36 mph, which will help the best two bullpens in the majors at limiting hard contact over the past week. With rain chances jumping to 90% after midnight, a long rain delay will likely see this game halted prematurely.

Play up to 20%. Nolan Arenado is locked in at the plate, going deep four times over his last six games while posting a .520 ISO. Walker Buehler has allowed 2.28 HR/9 over the last month, and Arenado has already taken him deep twice in his career.

Betting Analyst

Arizona has rattled off five straight wins to stay alive in the wild-card race and gives the ball to Corbin Burnes in a must-win game. San Diego has already punched their postseason ticket, while the Diamondbacks offense has caught fire over the last fortnight (128 wRC+, .500 SLG, 3.49 bullpen SIERA). Getting Burnes backed by high urgency against Walker Buehler provides the premier late-game value on the board.

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.
