Projection 1.24
Best Odds
Pick made: 22 seconds ago
EV Model Rating
Star rating: 3 out of 5
Rece Hinds has primarily hit in the back-half of the lineup this year (93% of the time), but he is penciled in 1st in the batting order in this matchup.. Among all major league stadiums, Oriole Park at Camden Yards's CF dimensions are the 4th-shallowest.. Rece Hinds will have the benefit of the platoon advantage against Robert Gasser in today's matchup... and even better, Gasser has a large platoon split.. Rece Hinds will hold the home field advantage today, which figures to improve all of his stats.. Based on Statcast metrics, the leading projection system (THE BAT X)'s version of Expected wOBA (.229) suggests that Rece Hinds has had some very poor luck since the start of last season with his .194 actual wOBA.

EV Model Rating
Star rating: 3 out of 5
Christian Encarnacion-Strand pulls many of his flyballs (36.6% — 90th percentile) and will be challenged by baseball's 4th-deepest LF fences in today's matchup.. Out of all the teams today, the 4th-strongest infield defense belongs to the Milwaukee Brewers.. Christian Encarnacion-Strand has struggled with his Barrel% in recent games; his 15.4% seasonal rate has decreased to 10.3% in the last 14 days.. Christian Encarnacion-Strand's average exit velocity has declined in recent games; his 90.9-mph seasonal figure has dropped to 86.1-mph over the past week.. Christian Encarnacion-Strand has been lucky this year, putting up a .359 wOBA despite the leading projection system (THE BAT X) estimating his true talent level to be .307 — a .052 disparity.

Play up to -140. Andrew Painter has been in strong form, posting a 2.93 FIP over the last month while limiting opponents to a 33.7% hard-hit rate. The Mets enter with just an 81 wRC+ over the last week, and Painter has surrendered only one earned run across his last two road starts.

EV Model Rating
Star rating: 4 out of 5
The leading projection system (THE BAT X) projects Bryson Stott in the 84th percentile as it relates to his batting average ability.. Bryson Stott will receive the benefit of the platoon advantage against Christian Scott today.. Bryson Stott hits many of his flyballs to center field (39.8% — 97th percentile) and is a great match for the park considering he'll be hitting towards baseball's shallowest CF fences in today's game.. This season, Bryson Stott has experienced a significant improvement in his exit velocity on flyballs, now sitting at an average of 91.6 mph compared to last year's 89.5 mph mark.. Bryson Stott's ability to hit the ball at a HR-optimizing launch angle (between 23° and 34°) has increased of late, increasing from 16.4% on the season to 21.4% over the past two weeks.

Brayan Bello gives up a lot more power to lefties, allowing 1.46 HR/9 compared to 0.38 HR/9 when facing righties.

Jonathan Aranda is my preferred target to take advantage. He has enjoyed a lot of success against the sinker-changeup combination Bello is heavily reliant on.

Isolating those two pitches thrown by righties, Aranda’s ISO sits at .235 and his wOBA is approaching .400.

The Over is a little short here, making it a buy up to 55%.

The Boston Red Sox are 6-3 to the Over in Brayan Bello starts, and 4-1 when facing an offense that ranks in the top half of the league in run production.

Since joining the Tampa Bay Rays, Freddy Peralta has allowed 10 runs over two starts against top-10 teams in OBP vs. RHP.

The #2 ballpark in the league for boosting base hits to RHB, via the leading projection system (THE BAT), is Progressive Field.. Progressive Field has the 2nd-shallowest LF dimensions in the majors.. Jo Adell will hold the platoon advantage against Jacob Lopez in today's matchup... and moreover, Lopez has a large platoon split.

Lawrence Butler has primarily hit in the back-half of the lineup this year (59% of the time), but he is penciled in 4th in the batting order today.. Progressive Field ranks as the #2 field in the majors for left-handed base hits, per the leading projection system (THE BAT).. Progressive Field sits at the 7th-highest altitude in MLB. High elevation often leads to higher offensive output.. Lawrence Butler will have the handedness advantage over Tanner Bibee today.. Lawrence Butler has a 96th percentile opposite-field rate on his flyballs (37.3%) and sets up very well considering he'll be hitting them out towards MLB's 3rd-shallowest LF fences in today's matchup.

Vinnie Pasquantino's BABIP ability is projected in the 6th percentile by the leading projection system (THE BAT X).. PNC Park profiles as the #28 stadium in the majors for left-handed home runs, via the leading projection system (THE BAT).. The league's 6th-tallest fence height (on average) can be found at PNC Park.. PNC Park has the 7th-largest outfield among all major league stadiums — generally bad for homers.. Playing on the road generally reduces hitter metrics in all categories due to the lack of home field advantage, which ought to be the case for Vinnie Pasquantino in today's matchup.

Oneil Cruz will benefit from the home field advantage today, which ought to bolster all of his stats.. Oneil Cruz has seen a big improvement in his exit velocity on flyballs of late; just compare his 106.5-mph average over the last two weeks to his seasonal average of 98.2-mph.. With a 28.100 Expected Home Runs per 600 plate appearances (an advanced metric created by the leading projection system (THE BAT X) based on Statcast data) since the start of last season , Oneil Cruz is ranked in the 84th percentile for power.

George Springer has a knack for hitting homers when the Blue Jays need it most, and tonight qualifies. Still having a great second half of the season with a .823 OPS, Springer will need to lock into Quantrill's flat cutter - five of his 13 homers against have come off that pitch.

Jose Soriano will need to pitch deep into the ballgame after Dylan Cease threw just 2 2/3 innings last night. With a taxed bullpen behind him and the season likely one loss away from being over, he doesn't have much choice. The right-hander has gone over this number in three of his last four starts and has had some success against the Texas Rangers, limiting them to a .247 xBA and .313 xwOBA across 83 plate appearances. He'll have to be the man to keep the season afloat.

Ronald Acuna Jr is heating up at just the right time for the Braves. He's slugging .672 in the month of September, with a 43.6% hard-hit rate and a 24% HR/FB mark.

He's also posted an opposite-field rate of 36.4% which ranks seventh among all qualifying hitters this month. 

I'll back him to go deep for the fourth time in seven games.

Astros SP Hayden Wesneski has yet to surrender a dinger in 22 IP at Daikin Park, with a home BABIP sitting 50 points below his road mark. He's also avoiding barrels, with a 25.8% soft contact rate in his last four starts.

Add in Atlanta's outstanding bullpen work over the past month (ranked ninth in HR/FB rate and hard-hit rate), and I'll back the Under out to 51%.

Play up to 20%. Cody Bellinger’s power has taken off lately, with three homers over his last six games and a .360 ISO. He’s also elevating the ball consistently, while Brandon Pfaadt has allowed plenty of hard contact and 1.72 HR/9 recently. At 15%, Bellinger offers worthwhile upside in Arizona.

Play down to +100. Cody Bellinger is swinging a scorching bat, hitting .440 over his last six games with three homers and a .360 ISO. Brandon Pfaadt has struggled recently, allowing nine earned runs over his last two starts with a 50% hard-hit rate. Bellinger is in a strong spot to keep producing.

Play up to 25%. Fernando Tatis Jr. is finally showing the power expected from him, going deep three times over the last week with a .414 ISO. His hard-hit and barrel numbers are climbing, and Eury Perez has struggled badly with home runs lately. Miami’s bullpen gives Tatis another favorable path to a long ball.

EV Model Rating
Star rating: 3 out of 5
20% of the time that Griffin Conine has started against a righty hurler this year, he has been lifted for a pinch-hitter.. The leading projection system (THE BAT) ranks Petco Park as the 6th-worst ballpark in baseball for run-scoring.. Petco Park's altitude is near sea-level, one of the lowest in the majors, which generally leads to less offense.. In today's matchup, Griffin Conine is at a disadvantage facing the league's 6th-deepest RF fences given that he hits his flyballs to the pull field at a 37.1% rate (92nd percentile).. Playing on the road generally lessens hitter metrics across the board due to the lack of home field advantage, which should be the case for Griffin Conine in today's game.

Don’t look now but Kyle Tucker is crushing the baseball. 

He is hitting .277 over his last 20 games with excellent metrics across the board, headlined by a .369 ISO and 13.6% barrel rate.

Tucker’s outputs have been excellent against pitchers of both handedness so it shouldn’t much matter who the San Francisco Giants have on the hill any given at bat.

I trust the Los Angeles Dodgers to score in bulk, making the Over an appealing play up to 53%.

They’re not only getting on base consistently, but hitting for real power again. Just two teams have bested their 9.1% barrel rate during the month of September.

The conditions at Dodger Stadium are projected to provide more than a 20% boost to home runs, which should help convert hard contact into production.

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.
