I’m playing the Over because both sides have a scoring path tied to the starters. New York’s case is obvious.

The Cubs can contribute against Will Warren, too. He owns a 4.59 xERA with a 41.0% hard-hit rate. The Cubs aren't a crazy explosive group, but a .340 OBP along with a solid walk rate can create the traffic Warren has struggled to navigate. I'd play this to -105.

For a second straight start, I find myself in the position of backing New York Yankees arm Will Warren. And, for the second straight start, it's not because of him but his opponent. This is a decent misprice, and I'd play the Yankees down to +100 for two units.

Shota Imanaga’s barrel profile is a real concern against this lineup. He has allowed a 9.4% barrel rate, which sits in the bottom quarter of MLB, while the Bombers own a 9.6% team barrel rate, the best mark in baseball. That’s the biggest advantage for either team in this matchup.

Pick made: 13 minutes ago
EV Model Rating
Star rating: 4 out of 5
The leading projection system (THE BAT X) projects Elly De La Cruz as the 5th-best hitter in Major League Baseball as it relates to his BABIP talent.. Elly De La Cruz is projected to hit 1st in the lineup in this matchup.. Great American Ball Park ranks as the #3 venue in MLB for lefty home runs, via the leading projection system (THE BAT).. Hot weather is strongly correlated with more offense (and fewer Ks), and the weather report projects the 3rd-hottest temperature of all games on the slate today at 88°.. As a switch-hitter who performs better from the 0 side of the plate, Elly De La Cruz will have the advantage of batting from from his better side against Paul Skenes today.

Pick made: an hour ago
EV Model Rating
Star rating: 3 out of 5
It is likely that we will see a Hitters Umpire (Dan Bellino) in charge of the strike zone today.. Hot weather is strongly correlated with more offense (and fewer Ks), and the weather report projects the 3rd-hottest temperature of all games on the slate today at 88°.. Playing on the road typically diminishes pitcher stats across the board due to the lack of home field advantage, which figures to be the case for Paul Skenes in today's matchup.. Paul Skenes's fastball velocity has dropped 1.3 mph this year (96.2 mph) below where it was last season (97.5 mph).. Among all starting pitchers, Paul Skenes's fastball spin rate of 2181 rpm ranks in the 17th percentile this year.

Star rating: 4 out of 5
The leading projection system (THE BAT X) projects Bryson Stott in the 83rd percentile when assessing his batting average ability..

Hot weather is strongly correlated with more offense (and fewer strikeouts), and the weather report expects the 5th-hottest weather of the day at 85°.. Bryson Stott will have the handedness advantage against Brandon Young in today's matchup.. Bryson Stott hits a high percentage of his flyballs to center field (39.2% — 95th percentile) and sets up very well considering he'll be hitting out towards the game's 4th-shallowest CF fences today.

Ernie Clement has primarily hit in the top-half of the batting order this year (53% of the time), but he is projected to bat 7th in the lineup in this game.. The weather forecast predicts the 3rd-most favorable pitching weather of all games today, as it relates to temperature and humidity.. Hitting from the same side that Kyle Leahy throws from, Ernie Clement faces a tough challenge in today's game.. Out of all the teams on the slate today, the 4th-strongest infield defense is that of the St. Louis Cardinals.. In the last two weeks' worth of games, Ernie Clement's exit velocity on flyballs has decreased from his seasonal figure of 88.2 mph to 85.8 mph.

EV Model Rating
Star rating: 3 out of 5
Rogers Centre has the 10th-shallowest centerfield fences in the majors.. Andres Gimenez will have the handedness advantage over Kyle Leahy in today's game.. Andres Gimenez is apt to have the upper hand against every reliever throughout the game, since the bullpen of the St. Louis Cardinals only has 1 same-handed RP.. Andres Gimenez will possess the home field advantage today, which ought to boost all of his stats.. Andres Gimenez has made notable strides with his Barrel% lately, bettering his 4% seasonal rate to 9.1% in the last 14 days.

Miguel Vargas is projected to bat 3rd in the batting order in today's game.. The #4 ballpark in the majors for boosting home runs to right-handed batters, according to the leading projection system (THE BAT), is Tropicana Field.. Miguel Vargas pulls a high percentage of his flyballs (35.7% — 85th percentile) and will have a big advantage hitting them towards baseball's 6th-shallowest LF fences in today's matchup.. Miguel Vargas has seen a notable gain in his exit velocity of late; just compare his 96.8-mph average in the last week's worth of games to his seasonal 90.7-mph average.

The leading projection system (THE BAT X) ranks Munetaka Murakami as Major League Baseball's 2nd-best home run batter.. Munetaka Murakami is penciled in 2nd in the lineup today.. Munetaka Murakami will hold the platoon advantage against Nick Martinez in today's matchup.. Munetaka Murakami has a ton of pop (100th percentile) if he makes contact, but that's never a sure thing (35.7% K%). Today, however, opposing pitcher Nick Martinez is a pitch-to-contact type (1st percentile K%) — great news for Murakami.. Among all the teams in action today, the weakest infield defense is that of the the Tampa Bay Rays.

Okamoto's hitting profile perfectly matches up well against Imanaga’s stuff. The Cubs starter throws a heavy dose of the fastball and gets barreled up at a 10.4% rate. The Jays third baseman barrels the ball better than anyone in the Blue Jays lineup with a 13.5% barrel rate, while owning a 63.2% hard hit rate against the four-seamer.

Atlanta and Chicago send two of the best lineups in baseball to the dish, and they respectively rank eighth and third in wOBA against lefties for the campaign. The two clubs have also trended to the Over, and I'm particularly expecting White Sox southpaw Anthony Kay to struggle considering he's saddled with the fifth-highest xERA in baseball among the 100 pitchers with at least 60 innings this year.

The Yankees rank Top-3 in OPS, ISO, OBP, xWOBA, and hard hit rate when facing left-handed pitching. The Red Sox have hit righties very well over the past four weeks, sitting ninth in wOBA, ninth in ISO, and fourth in batting average. Play the Over to -120.

Ranger Suarez has started four games against teams ranking Top-10 in OPS vs. left-handed pitching, allowing 13 runs and posting a 6.13 ERA during those games. The New York Yankees lead the majors in OPS against lefties so they’re a prime candidate to cause Suarez problems. Playable to -145.

The Giants are pacing the majors in wOBA and are fourth in xwOBA while averaging 5.5 runs per game across the past 30 days, and the Braves ranks ninth in wOBA against right-handed pitchers and third in overall xwOBA, so I think this total is too low.

The Braves have dropped five of six while averaging just 2.8 runs per game and ranking 29th in wOBA without Ronald Acuna Jr. (hamstring), and it’s been a smoke-and-mirrors start for veteran lefty Martin Perez, and there’s serious statistical correction ahead of his .230 BABIP and 80.2% strand rate considering they’re both high-end marks about pitchers with at least 60 innings this season. San Francisco is just the offense to kick-start the regression, too. The Giants are pacing the majors in wOBA and fourth in xwOBA over the past 30 days, after all.

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.
