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.

Betting Analyst

I'm definitely backing the Cleveland Guardians and Foster Griffin at 55%, as I price them closer to a 59% favorite against the Chicago White Sox in this crucial AL Central matchup. This is a tough matchup for White Sox starter Davis Martin. His main strikeout pitches are his slider and curveball, but the Guardians are likely to stack the lineup with eight left-handed bats, meaning those pitches will be breaking into the barrels of their hitters. We also know how patient this lineup is. Martin doesn't feature an overpowering four-seam fastball and instead leans on his sinker as his best pitch. However, hitters such as José Ramírez and Chase DeLauter are exceptional contact hitters who can waste this pitch. Martin is going to be forced to challenge the Guardians in the zone with his four-seamer, and that's an advantage for Cleveland.

Jake Rogers's batting average talent is projected to be in the 7th percentile according to the leading projection system (THE BAT X).. Jake Rogers is penciled in 8th on the lineup card today.. Progressive Field has the 4th-highest average fence height in the majors..

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.

Braydon Fisher will hold the platoon advantage over Gleyber Torres today.. The Toronto Blue Jays infield defense grades out as the 4th-strongest out of all the teams on the slate today..

When starting against a northpaw this year, Nathan Lukes has been replaced by a pinch-hitter 18% of the time.. The #8 venue in the majors for suppressing batting average to left-handed batters, via the leading projection system (THE BAT), is Rogers Centre.. According to the weather forecast, the temperature and humidity for this contest will be the 2nd-best for pitching on the slate today.. Typically, bats like Nathan Lukes who hit a lot of flyballs tend to be less successful when facing pitchers who also induce a lot of flyballs such as Drew Anderson.. In the last 7 days, Nathan Lukes's exit velocity on flyballs has lowered from his seasonal mark of 88.3 mph to 73 mph.

I’m playing the Under to 51%.

Max Fried's xERA (2.05) is in near lockstep with his actual ERA (1.93) over his excellent eight start run, which is a good sign that what he’s doing is sustainable.

Bailey Ober has suppressed power much better of late (0.45 HR/9 the L30). Colder temperatures could help zap some of the carry for New York’s bats.

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.

Play up to 55%. Coors Field always carries scoring upside, but 11.5 gives us plenty of breathing room. San Diego’s bullpen has been reliable recently, and Colorado’s offense hasn’t produced consistently enough to trust in a shootout. The Rockies may allow plenty, but I still prefer the Under at this inflated number.

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.
