Kauffman Stadium sits at the 4th-highest elevation among all major league parks. High elevation usually leads (as a rule of thumb) to higher offensive output.. In terms of temperature and humidity, the weather forecast expects for the 5th-most suitable hitting conditions on the schedule today..

Total Bases
Braden Montgomery u1.5 Total Bases (-220)
Projection 0.9
EV Model Rating
Star rating: 3 out of 5
Braden Montgomery is projected to hit 9th in the lineup in today's game.. Today, Braden Montgomery is at a disadvantage facing the league's deepest LF fences given that he hits his flyballs to the opposite field at a 35.9% rate (92nd percentile).. Extreme groundball hitters like Braden Montgomery tend to be less successful against extreme groundball pitchers like Randy Dobnak.. The Kansas City Royals infield defense grades out as the strongest among all the teams in action today.. Playing on the road generally reduces hitter stats across the board due to the lack of home field advantage, which figures to be the case for Braden Montgomery in today's game.

Neil Parker
Betting Analyst
This Under 7.5 is good to 59% because the wind is forecast to be blowing in briskly at Wrigley Field, and both starting pitchers have been solid down the stretch. Miami righty Tyler Phillips also pitching well with a 3.67 xERA and 3.84 xFIP across his past six starts, and Chicago lefty Matthew Boyd checks in with a 3.72 xERA and 3.77 xFIP across his past five starts.
Spread
CHC -1.5 (+115)
Neil Parker
Betting Analyst
The Cubs aren’t dropping three straight to the Marlins, and I recommend the Cubbies -1.5 run line to 50%. Miami ranks 22nd in wOBA and 24th in ISO against lefties for the season, and Chicago starter Matthew Boyd has been reliable down the stretch with a respectable 3.72 xERA and 3.77 xFIP through his past five starts. The Marlins are also 25th in xwOBA with the sixth-highest BABIP over the past 30 days, so I’m anticipating Boyd navigating the Miami lineup with the wind forecast to be blowing in briskly at Wrigley Field. Finally, I expect the Cubs to plate enough runs to cover the number considering they pace the majors in wOBA while ranking second in xwOBA over the past 30 days.

Corey Seager owns a .204 ISO and hefty 16.7% barrel rate over the last 25 games when facing fastballs and cutters thrown by lefties.
Zac Thornton ranks in the 17th percentile in HR/FB against lefties his past six starts. He’s giving up a ton of power to lefties, and Seager is a prime candidate to make him pay.

Todd Cordell
Betting Analyst
This game has sneaky run potential, making the over an appealing play to 52%.
Zac Thornton has allowed 2.17 HR/9 the past month, and the Texas Rangers have the power to take advantage.
New York has a real path to scoring as well. Kumar Rocker owns a sky-high 1.59 WHIP over the last 30 days, and Texas’ bullpen has the league’s fifth highest ERA in September.

Total Home Runs
Ben Rice o0.5 Total Home Runs (+517)
Josh Inglis
Betting Analyst
I got this at 6.2x and have a fair price of 4.75x. Ben Rice has seen Ian Seymour six times and taken him deep twice. It may be lefty-vs.-lefty, and that's priced in, but Seymour is a reverse-splits pitcher who gives up damage to left-handed hitters, giving us some value on the long ball. Over the season, the Tampa lefty has allowed a home run to right-handers once every 25.21 plate appearances compared to 16.45 against lefties. Oddsmakers always price in the lefty-vs.-lefty matchup in the pitcher's favor, but there are spots to take advantage of it, like Juan Soto yesterday and Rice today. This is a 6x price on a guy with 41 dingers on the season, coming off a two-homer game and facing one of the worst HR/9 pitchers on the slate as a lefty at Yankee Stadium.

Yankee Stadium's elevation is near sea-level, one of the lowest in MLB, which usually leads (as a rule of thumb) to lower offensive output.. According to the weather report, the temperature and humidity for this contest will be the 3rd-most suitable for pitching of all games today..

Josh Inglis
Betting Analyst
A game featuring Tyler Mahle and Brady Singer with a total of 7.5 — no wonder THE BAT has it as the best expected ROI total of the day at 18%, with a fair probability of 63%. Singer might be the worst pitcher in baseball right now, with a 7.53 ERA in the second half and 48 runs allowed in 57 innings across 11 starts. He's allowed three or more runs in each of those 11 games and has been even worse over his last four, giving up 25 runs across 16 innings. He can contribute 90% of this total himself. Mahle is at 144 innings this year after pitching just 125 combined innings over his previous three seasons. His BABIP and LOB% are also showing signs of negative regression. THE BAT is projecting 9.65 runs today in Atlanta.

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.

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.

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.

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.
