Junior Caminero has the contact profile to leave the yard, with two homers, a .304 ISO, a 58.8% hard-hit rate, and a 17.6% barrel rate over his last six games. Pérez’s hard-contact issues and Atlanta’s homer-prone bullpen give him multiple paths.

The Over 8.5 is mostly about bullpen volatility. Atlanta’s relief corps has been vulnerable to homers, and Tampa Bay’s pen has been even shakier by xERA. Even with Atlanta’s offense cold, both teams have enough late-game scoring paths to clear this number.

Zack Wheeler has found his rhythm, allowing just one earned run in each of his last two outings while limiting hard contact. Houston’s offense has struggled lately with an 84 wRC+ over the previous two weeks, giving Wheeler a strong path to stay Under again.

EV Model Rating
Star rating: 3 out of 5
Jose Altuve is projected to hit 4th in the batting order in today's game.. The leading projection system (THE BAT) profiles Citizens Bank Park as the 8th-best field in Major League Baseball for right-handed home runs.. Hot weather is strongly correlated with more offense (and fewer whiffs), and the weather report predicts the highest temperatures of all games today at 86°.. Jose Altuve pulls many of his flyballs (41.6% — 99th percentile) and is a great match for the park considering he'll be hitting them towards baseball's 10th-shallowest LF fences today.

I'd back the Rangers to +100 because starter Jacob deGrom’s 3.11 xFIP ranks ninth out of the 104 starters with at least 100 innings, and the Texas offense has been solid with a fourth-ranked wOBA, third-ranked ISO and fourth-ranked xwOBA over the past two weeks. Seattle respectively checks in ranked 24th, 26th and 23rd during the same stretch, and Mariners righty Logan Gilbert has begun to slide late in the season with a ho-hum 4.10 xERA and 3.92 xFIP over his past six starts.

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.

Max Fried is in excellent form, staying Under 1.5 earned runs in five straight appearances while continuing to limit damage. His recent xERA, command, and homer suppression line up well against a weak Rockies lineup that owns just an 80 wRC+ against left-handed pitching.

Colorado's Ryan Feltner is the biggest pitcher target today. He has the worst HR/9 among today's starters dating back to last year and is pitching in the toughest environment on the slate. The wind is blowing out to the short porch at Yankee Stadium, and Feltner gives up more slugging to left-handed bats. It's another great day to target New York's lefties. It was Cody Bellinger cashing yesterday at 17% with a fair price of 20%. I might move that fair price closer to 21%, making today's 18.3% an easy call in this setup.

Tristan Peters has been swinging a hot bat, hitting .400 over the last week while clearing this hits prop in four of his previous five games. Jared Jones has allowed hard contact recently, and Peters’ own 55.6% hard-hit rate gives this Over solid support.

I got this at 52% and have the fair price closer to 54%. The White Sox have already dropped both games of this series, and getting swept should provide plenty of motivation. There might be some interest in the Pirates with the Sox's starter, Hagen Smith, making his first start, but he's been a nasty lefty out of the bullpen this year, with nine scoreless outings in 10 games and 23 Ks over 16 innings. Jared Jones looks like a pitcher who struggles on visiting mounds, with a 4.0 BB/9 away from home compared to 2.6 at PNC Park. His road WHIP is also half a point higher away from Pittsburgh. I see this as a 50/50 game on a neutral field, and home-field advantage is worth at least another 2%, or 20 points, to me. The White Sox are fighting to hold onto the AL Central lead, while Pittsburgh has already secured the series and Chicago has one more chance to avoid the sweep.

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.
