While Nick Martinez has limited Atlanta hitters to a lifetime .222/.294/.348 slash line, Martin Perez hasn’t fared well against Tampa Bay, with Rays batters sporting a .851 OPS against the veteran southpaw. Take the AL East leaders to grab the road win at Truist Park.

Jon Metler
Betting Analyst
The Texas Rangers are trading at 47% on Polymarket, and that's a number I'm buying because I price the Rangers closer to a 52% favorite. That's a sizable edge compared to what we typically see in this market. The middle of the Mariners' lineup, including hitters like Cal Raleigh and Dominic Canzone, features steep uppercut swings designed to get the ball in the air. However, Jacob deGrom's high-velocity fastball has late riding life at the letters, which is a perfect pitch to neutralize those uppercut swings, either producing routine popups or a complete whiff. The Mariners will try to stack their lineup with seven left-handed hitters to counter the right-handed deGrom, but that doesn't give them an advantage by any means. deGrom is equally tough on lefties as he is on righties, thanks to his ability to attack their hands with his fastball and bury his back-foot slider.
Total RBIs
Corey Seager o0.5 Total RBIs (+230)
Projection 0.51
EV Model Rating
Star rating: 4 out of 5
Corey Seager projects as the 13th-best hitter in MLB, via the leading projection system (THE BAT X).. Corey Seager is projected to bat 2nd in the lineup in today's game.. This contest is forecasted to have the 11th-most suitable weather for pitching among all the games scheduled today.. Batting from the opposite that Logan Gilbert throws from, Corey Seager will have the upper hand in today's matchup.. Among every team in action today, the weakest infield defense belongs to the Seattle Mariners.

According to the weather report, the temperature and humidity for this game will be the 2nd-most favorable for hitting of the day..

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.
