Play up to 25%. Kyle Tucker is scorching hot, launching three homers over his last six games while posting a ridiculous .632 ISO. He's also recorded a 29.4% barrel rate over the last week, and both Lowder and Cincinnati's bullpen have allowed plenty of loud contact. Tucker is firmly on my radar tonight.

Play up to 55%. Cincinnati's bullpen has been a major liability, allowing 2.08 HR/9 with a 5.72 FIP over the last week, while Rhett Lowder is also struggling. That's a dangerous combination against a Dodgers lineup sporting a 126 wRC+ and .237 ISO over its last six games. Cincinnati should contribute enough to help push this Over.

With ideal hitting conditions forecast at Progressive Field tonight, this Over has my attention to 54%. Guardians starter Foster Griffin sports a 5.18 xERA and 4.33 xFIP while allowing a healthy 35.8% hard-hit rate through his seven starts with the club, and the White Sox rank eighth in xwOBA across the past 30 days. Additionally, Chicago will have Davis Martin throwing bulk innings, and he's posted a  4.74 xERA and 5.46 xFIP across his two starts since returning from a finger blister.

Junior Caminero finds himself in another favorable spot against Athletics right-hander Jack Perkins. Through 40 elite ratings this season, Caminero has homered over 25% of the time. He has also been swinging a hot bat lately, posting a .538 SLG and .282 ISO over his last 10 games, alongside a near 50% hard-contact rate and 15.2% barrel rate. Perkins has struggled against right-handed hitters recently, with his last 30 faced generating a 15% barrel rate, 70% elevation rate and .517 xSLG.

When it comes to his home run ability, Cedric Mullins ranks in the 82nd percentile according to the leading projection system (THE BAT X).. Tropicana Field projects as the #1 field in Major League Baseball for left-handed home runs, via the leading projection system (THE BAT).. Cedric Mullins will have the benefit of the platoon advantage against Jack Perkins today.. Cedric Mullins pulls a high percentage of his flyballs (39.3% — 96th percentile) and is a great match for the park considering he'll be hitting them towards the league's 5th-shallowest RF fences in today's game.. Home field advantage generally boosts hitter stats across the board, and Cedric Mullins will hold that advantage in today's matchup.

I love this price at 54%, and would play the Phillies up to 58%. Cristopher Sanchez has absolutely owned this Nationals team throughout his career, limiting them to a .225 xBA and .276 xwOBA across 109 plate appearances - a sample size that includes a 0-for-11 mark from James Woods. We'll take that. On the other side is the Nats' No. 8 prospect, Jackson Kent, who's had a rough rookie campaign so far, coming off a three-inning, eight-hit, five-earned-run outing against the San Diego Padres. His 5.49 xERA suggests this loaded Phillies lineup should be able to ambush the 23-year-old early.

Cristopher Sanchez has been one of baseball’s most reliable starters this season, posting a 2.79 ERA with 210 strikeouts, and he gets an excellent matchup against Washington. Nationals starter Jackson Kent owns a 6.59 ERA, giving Philadelphia a significant pitching advantage before factoring in the superior lineup. At -126, I’d rather lay the 1.5 runs than pay the inflated moneyline price.

Can you imagine getting +600 on Vladimir Guerrero Jr. to hit a home run just a year ago? Of course he's deserving of that price now, but after hitting his first bomb at home two nights ago, I'm going back to the well here. He's just one game removed from a 4-for-5 performance at the dish, and with the Blue Jays' season hanging in the balance, look for him to get to Drew Anderson - his 8.4% barrel rate is among the worst in baseball.

Kazuma Okamoto has been playing the best baseball of his rookie season with the Toronto Blue Jays' playoff dreams hanging in the balance. He's rocking a 1.115 OPS to go with five homers in September, which is absolutely absurd, and over his last 30 games, Okamoto is slashing .280/.361/.617 (.977 OPS) with nine homers and 18 RBI. He's cashed this play in five of his last seven games. 

His 13.9% barrel rate is in the 91st percentile across all qualified hitters this season, too; suffice it to say, he should be able to run into one today against a contact pitcher like Drew Anderson.

Pete Alonso is my favorite home run look against Sean Manaea and the Mets tonight. While many bettors will immediately target Coby Mayo because Manaea is a lefty, Alonso has been absolutely crushing southpaws lately. Over his last 30 at-bats against left-handed pitching, he owns a .565 SLG and .261 ISO while generating a hard-hit rate above 76% and a barrel rate over 23%. That power profile lines up perfectly with Manaea’s recent struggles against right-handed hitters. Over his last 30 faced, righties have posted a .408 xBA, .788 xSLG, and .307 ISO. Alonso is the Orioles’ power bat to target tonight.

Juan Soto projects as the 3rd-best hitter in Major League Baseball, per the leading projection system (THE BAT X).. Juan Soto is penciled in 2nd in the lineup today.. The wind projects to be blowing out to LF at 9.2-mph in this game, the 3rd-strongest of the day for batters.. Hitting from the opposite that Shane Baz throws from, Juan Soto will have an edge in today's matchup.. Juan Soto hits many of his flyballs to center field (39.6% — 96th percentile) and is fortunate to face the game's shallowest CF fences in today's game.

The Cubs have lit up lefties this season with a league-high wOBA and ISO, and they draw susceptible Braves southpaw Martin Perez tonight, so I like the Cubbies moneyline to 59%. Perez is winless across his past five starts with an alarming 5.77 xERA and 5.13 xFIP, and even with the Chicago lineup dropping to a 10th-ranked xwOBA and 15th-ranked wOBA in September, the Cubs are still well above Atlanta’s respective. 26th- and 23rd-ranked marks. As a result, I’m confident in Chicago veteran Kevin Gausman navigating the Atlanta lineup just well enough to bring home the win given his 4.17 xERA and 3.32 xFIP are well below his 5.31 ERA since joining the North Siders.

Martin Perez has been a walk machine over his last five games, posting a walk rate north of 11%, and now draws a Cubs lineup that ranks second in walk rate over its last 12 games. Chicago owns an 11.2% walk rate during that span, which climbs to 13% against left-handed pitchers. Six Cubs hitters have posted a walk rate of at least 8.7% over their last 10 games, with five reaching 14.3% or higher. On Batters-Box, Perez has allowed 2+ walks in 68.18% of 22 poorly rated matchups. Even at -171, the matchup gives us a solid edge.

Luis Garcia Jr. finds himself in a strong spot against Bailey Ober tonight. The Yankees first baseman enters with an elite rating on Batters-Box and clears nearly 92% of Ober's arsenal. Garcia Jr. has been one of the hottest hitters in New York's lineup, sporting a .500 SLG, .206 ISO, a hard-hit rate over 57% and a barrel rate near 20%. The last 60 left-handed hitters Ober has faced are generating a nearly 50% hard-hit rate, while owning a .342 xBA, .562 xSLG and .349 xwOBA.

Run it back with the captain! Aaron Judge is once again my favorite home run look in this matchup against Bailey Ober. The Minnesota right-hander has been crushed by right-handed hitters, who have posted a 45.5% hard-hit rate, 13.6% barrel rate and 72.8% elevation rate over their last 60 matchups. Those hitters also own a .365 xBA and .573 xSLG. Judge enters with the highest Batters-Box rating in this matchup and has homered nearly 30% of the time across 165 games when rated elite over the last three seasons. Trust the captain to get hot and stay hot.

Busch Stadium has the 8th-shortest fence height (on average) among all parks.. The weather forecast calls for temperatures in this game to reach the highest level of all games on the slate at 90°, which is highly linked to an increase in offense (and a reduction in strikeouts).. Home field advantage typically improves hitter stats across the board, and Masyn Winn will hold that advantage in today's game..

The Padres are in a prime spot to keep mashing against Kyle Freeland, who has struggled mightily at home this season. Freeland owns a 5.10 ERA and 1.48 WHIP at Coors Field while allowing a near-10% barrel rate to opposing hitters. San Diego's lineup has been red-hot, posting a 143 wRC+, .852 OPS and .372 wOBA over its last six games. Batters-Box also gives Freeland the worst pitcher rating on the slate, with seven elite-rated hitters and another carrying a strong rating. With the Padres rolling offensively, they should be able to produce 3+ runs on Freeland.

Play up to 25%. Jackson Merrill is seeing the ball extremely well, combining three homers over the last week with elite contact quality. His 60.9% hard-hit rate and 26.1% barrel rate during that stretch jump off the page, and both Freeland and Colorado’s bullpen have been vulnerable to the long ball.

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.
