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

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

Lazaro Montes has a ton of pop (93rd percentile) if he makes contact, but that's never a guarantee (32.7% K%). Today, however, opposing pitcher Jose Quintana doesn't generate many whiffs (4th percentile K%) — great news for Montes.

Betting Analyst

Ben Rice has posted a .511 xSLG with a 14.2% barrel rate this season while hitting nearly half of his batted balls at 95 mph or harder. That gives him one of the strongest combination of contact quality and left-handed power in this lineup. Left-handed hitters have launched 12 home runs against him in 67 innings this season, compared to only two homers allowed to righties. They've also produced a .451 SLG and .762 OPS against him.

The Yankees don't necessarily need Arizona to produce much of the scoring. Pfaadt has allowed nine earned runs and 17 hits across 13 innings in September, and the matchup against New York's lefties is exactly where his season-long profile has been most vulnerable.

Play up to 25%. Fernando Tatis Jr. is finally showing the power expected from him, going deep three times over the last week with a .414 ISO. His hard-hit and barrel numbers are climbing, and Eury Perez has struggled badly with home runs lately. Miami’s bullpen gives Tatis another favorable path to a long ball.

Best Odds
Pick made: 6 minutes ago
EV Model Rating
Star rating: 3 out of 5
20% of the time that Griffin Conine has started against a righty hurler this year, he has been lifted for a pinch-hitter.. The leading projection system (THE BAT) ranks Petco Park as the 6th-worst ballpark in baseball for run-scoring.. Petco Park's altitude is near sea-level, one of the lowest in the majors, which generally leads to less offense.. In today's matchup, Griffin Conine is at a disadvantage facing the league's 6th-deepest RF fences given that he hits his flyballs to the pull field at a 37.1% rate (92nd percentile).. Playing on the road generally lessens hitter metrics across the board due to the lack of home field advantage, which should be the case for Griffin Conine in today's game.

Don’t look now but Kyle Tucker is crushing the baseball. 

He is hitting .277 over his last 20 games with excellent metrics across the board, headlined by a .369 ISO and 13.6% barrel rate.

Tucker’s outputs have been excellent against pitchers of both handedness so it shouldn’t much matter who the San Francisco Giants have on the hill any given at bat.

I trust the Los Angeles Dodgers to score in bulk, making the Over an appealing play up to 53%.

They’re not only getting on base consistently, but hitting for real power again. Just two teams have bested their 9.1% barrel rate during the month of September.

The conditions at Dodger Stadium are projected to provide more than a 20% boost to home runs, which should help convert hard contact into production.

The leading projection system (THE BAT X) projects Josh Lowe in the 77th percentile when estimating his BABIP ability.. Angel Stadium has the 2nd-lowest fences in Major League Baseball.. Considering Joe Ryan's large platoon split, Josh Lowe will have a huge advantage batting from the opposite side of the dish in today's matchup.. The Minnesota Twins outfield defense profiles as the weakest out of all the teams in action today.. Josh Lowe will benefit from the home field advantage in today's game, which should improve all of his stats.

The Los Angeles Angels have 4 batters in their projected offense today with a high (i.e. over 27%) underlying K% (per the leading projection system, THE BAT X) (Jose Siri, Josh Lowe, Mike Trout, Zach Neto).. The leading projection system (THE BAT) profiles Angel Stadium as the 4th-best field in baseball for strikeouts.. Joe Ryan was in good form in his last outing and posted 7 strikeouts.

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.
