Pete Alonso o0.5 Total Home Runs (+351)
Quinn Allen
Betting Analyst
Alonso is squaring up the baseball, even if he has not fully been rewarded yet. Although Bibee has limited homers lately, he has allowed a 40.2% fly-ball rate on the road this season, and the Guardians’ bullpen has also allowed plenty of contact through the air in recent games.
Total
u8.5 (-105)
Quinn Allen
Betting Analyst
The Under fits with both offenses struggling to produce and neither lineup showing much home-run power. Bibee and Young do not need to dominate for this game to stay controlled, especially with both bullpens entering in strong form and limiting late-game damage.

Riley Greene was one of the Detroit heroes yesterday with a decisive two-run blast, and he also clubbed a pair of homers in Cleveland on Saturday as part of a scorching start to September. He's posted a 1.292 OPS across six games so far this month.
I see that continuing here against Kremer, who's allowing 2.0 dingers per nine innings in 2026 - up from 1.2 last season, and a vulnerable Minnesota bullpen.

Betting Analyst
The Over has been a winning ticket in the past seven meetings between these teams, and it's 44-23-5 across Minnesota's 72 road contests this season. I'm also giving both lineups an edge against pitchers they faced just a week ago.
Each of Kremer's last five starts has delivered 11+ total runs, and the Twins’ relievers drag a 4.85 ERA into this matchup.

Harper boasts a third-ranked .303 ISO against righties among qualified hitters, and it’s been 10 games since his last homer despite a 40.0% hard-hit rate and going 12-for-36 at the dish. So, with 23 of his 27 homers coming off of right-handed pitchers, this is a spot for Harper to square one up and leave the yard tonight.

Betting Analyst
Philly starter Andrew Painter has found a groove with two runs or fewer allowed in five of his past seven starts while spinning a tidy 2.98 xERA and limiting opposing hitters to a minuscule 3.8 barrel percentage. Similarly, Houston righty Hayden Wesneski has only allowed a single run across his past three outings. Both teams also have rested bullpens, and Houston relievers rank ninth in xERA and sixth in xFIP since the All-Star break, and the Philly bullpen respectively checks in 11th and 10th.

Chris Hatfield
Betting Analyst
I'll roll with Jazz Chisholm at this price point. His 22.7% pull rate on airballs also gives him a clear path to turn a mistake into a short right-field porch shot.
Hughes’ low whiff rate means Chisholm should get a chance to put the ball in play, and one elevated fastball is enough for his power to take Hughes' deep in the friendly confines of Yankee Stadium.
Total
u7.5 (-103)
Chris Hatfield
Betting Analyst
I’m taking a small Under position. Schlittler is Schlitter and cannot afford to have a bad outing while in the lack of a Cy Young race. He gives the Rockies an offensive floor, while Hughes’ contact-quality numbers give him a better chance to survive than his 6.19 ERA suggests.
The risk is his command. A few free passes can put the Yankees in position to score without needing hard contact, and the total can get away quickly if the Bombers gets to the middle innings early. Still, this matchup is more likely to produce a controlled Yankees win than a full offensive shootout. I’d play Under 7.5 down to 51. I see this being a 5-1, 6-1 type of game.

Sean Burke has struggled to find the strike zone lately, and the numbers suggest another tough matchup against the Pirates. The White Sox right-hander owns the third-highest walk rate among pitchers over their last five starts, while his 18.8% walk rate over his last three ranks second. Pittsburgh has been patient at the plate, hovering around a 10% walk rate over its last 12 games, with at least six hitters reaching a 10% walk rate over their last 10 games.

Bobby Witt Jr. finds himself in a great spot Tuesday against Diamondbacks starter Corbin Burnes, who is making his first start since June 2025. Witt Jr. has gone over 1.5 bases in 65% of 60 Batters-Box strong ratings at home over the last few seasons. The star shortstop has been tearing the cover off the ball over his last 10 games, posting a 53% hard-hit rate and a barrel rate above 20%. Four of his last 10 batted balls traveled over 101 MPH. With Burnes returning, I expect Witt Jr. to generate extra bases.

Joe Osborne
Senior Betting Analyst
This sets up as a sneaky spot to back the home dog. Corbin Burnes could be on a short leash in his season debut after a limited buildup, exposing an Arizona bullpen that used seven arms yesterday. KC ranks third in OPS at home over the past month and has won Michael Wacha’s last four starts. With a reliable bullpen behind him, the Royals are worth backing.

Betting Analyst
The Nationals have dropped five straight games and have seen their market price fall, trading at just 37% today in a matchup where I think they can be competitive. James Wood is back and has gone 6-for-19 with three extra-base hits since returning, giving a boost to an offense that was the highest-scoring in baseball in the first half. San Diego starter Casey Mize is not a pitcher I want to back as a 67% favorite. He's struggled since coming over from Detroit, owning a 6.67 ERA with eight homers allowed over 27 innings. His strikeouts are way down, and he's allowed five homers with just five strikeouts over his last three starts. His 6.05 xFIP is the worst of any San Diego pitcher in the second half with at least 20 innings. The Nationals are going with a questionable opener, but every other arm is basically available. With the market giving them just a 37% chance to win, THE BAT's 42% fair price gives us enough value to take a shot on the Nats.

Tarik Skubal's only pitched more than six innings once with the Los Angeles Dodgers so the Cincinnati Reds will likely get three innings to score against lesser relievers.

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.
