Betting Analyst

Matt Olson is on the verge of a breakout.

He has posted a 22.2% barrel rate and 97.3 mile per hour average exit velocity against fastballs and sliders thrown by righties the past 25 games. Those just happen to be Andrew Painter’s primary pitches against lefties.

Zooming out, Olson's season ISO is .329 against fastballs and .629 against the slider. Downright absurd.

The Under is appealing and playable to 59%.

Grant Holmes' barrel rate is trending in the right direction – 5.6% the past month vs. 8.5% this season – and the Philadelphia Phillies are struggling to hit for power, an encouraging combination.

Andrew Painter has quietly pitched to a 3.55 xERA the last 30 days. He’s in a much better spot than early in the year, and should avoid major damage.

Despite the Mets’ 12-run outburst Saturday, their offense should face a tougher test against Schlittler. The Yankees, meanwhile, have plenty of firepower to help push this game over 7.5 runs. Four of the five highest-rated Yankees in this matchup have posted barrel rates above 12.3% over their last 10 games, while former Yankee Juan Soto has a .533 SLG, .258 ISO, and 13.8% barrel rate during that span. Schlittler has been dominant all season, but left-handed hitters have generated a 56.3% hard-hit rate and 62.6% elevation rate against him over his last 30 lefties faced, along with a .379 xBA and .622 xSLG.

The Yankees look to bounce back after a rear-end spanking as they take on the Mets in what should be one of Sunday’s better matchups. Cam Schlittler has been dominant over his last five starts, posting a 1.13 ERA and 0.88 WHIP while limiting barrels and hard-hit balls. Christian Scott, meanwhile, has struggled, carrying a 5.76 ERA, 1.36 WHIP, and 10.71% walk rate during that span. With the Yankees sporting a 10% walk rate against right-handed pitching, they should be able to exploit Scott’s biggest weakness. Batters-Box also gives New York a favorable matchup, making the Yankees worth backing tonight.

Grayson Rodriguez brings significant bat-missing upside against a depleted Washington lineup scuffling with an 80 wRC+ over the past two weeks. Washington's bullpen has completely imploded (7.97 ERA, 4.54 SIERA, 11.9% BB%), leaving Jake Irvin with zero margin for error in an even-money pick'em spot.

When assessing his home run skill, Zach Neto ranks in the 90th percentile according to the leading projection system (THE BAT X).. Zach Neto is projected to hit 1st on the lineup card today.. Nationals Park has the 6th-shallowest fences among all major league stadiums — generally good for homers.. A correlation exists between high heat and more offense (and fewer Ks), and this game is expected to have the 3rd-hottest weather of all games today at 85°.. The Washington Nationals infield defense projects as the 3rd-weakest among all the teams today.

When it comes to his strikeout talent, Emmet Sheehan projects as the 19th-best SP in the game right now, via the leading projection system (THE BAT).. The Miami Marlins have 4 bats in their projected batting order today with a high (i.e. over 27%) underlying K% (per the leading projection system, THE BAT X) (Kyle Stowers, Heriberto Hernandez, Griffin Conine, Owen Caissie).. LoanDepot Park's elevation is near sea-level, one of the lowest in the majors, which tends to lead to lower offensive output.. The LoanDepot Park roof is expected to be closed today, making the temperature in this contest -5° colder than the average outdoor game of the day — favorable for pitching.. Emmet Sheehan has relied on his curveball 5% more often this season (11.5%) than he did last season (6.5%).

Target Alex Bregman's scorching September form - he’s gone 13-for-37 this month, with two dingers and a 1.039 OPS.

With one hit off Chandler in a small sample size, and extra-base blasts off a couple of Pittsburgh relievers, Bregman offers great value here, and he’s smashed 18 of his 25 homers off righties.

The Over has been a winning ticket in seven of the last 10 matchups between these teams, and it’s 7-1 in Chicago’s last eight outings as a favorite against NL Central rivals. 

Boyd has coughed up 3+ earned runs in four of his last five trips to the mound, and both sides sit in the Top 5 for runs, hits and OBP.

It's not every day you get the most probable home run on the board at a +EV price, but that's what's happening today with Cal Raleigh at a fair probability of 33%. I think we can thank the NFL slate for this sneaky price. It's the best setting in baseball for dingers today, and Cal Raleigh is making up for lost time with nine home runs over the last 30 days and a top-20 slugging percentage of .628. He's also owned Jacob Lopez, with three home runs in five plate appearances. Do you hear that? That's the sound of Lopez's knees knocking together at the thought of facing Raleigh today.

Shea Langeliers is back in the Athletics' lineup, and at around 24% today, it's a great spot to back him to go yard with a fair probability of 28.6%. It's a Sutter Health Park game, which is always good for the taters. It's no surprise it's the best park today for home runs by a wide margin, per Ball Park Pal. At home, Langeliers slugs 100 points better than he does on the road. The next green check is the pitching matchup. Bryce Miller has the worst HR/9 over the last two seasons among all starters today and is not in great form. In the second half of this year, he owns the 13th-worst HR/9 among MLB starters and the 28th-worst HR/FB rate. Miller hasn't gotten to 15 outs in four straight starts.

Rafael Devers is the homer pick and it's hard to argue anyone else.

He has 35 dingers and 96 RBIs this season and has been one of the hottest hitters in the sport recently. Pivetta’s four-seam fastball has also allowed a .391 xSLG and a 51.9% hard-hit rate, giving Devers a path to damage if Pivetta falls behind and has to challenge him with velocity. I'll take him to go deep even if it is the only run the Giants score all night.

The San Diego Padres are worth backing to -135 behind Nick Pivetta, who has allowed a .242 xwOBA and .303 xSLG since returning from the injured list.

His current sample is limited to five starts and 21 innings because the injury cost him significant time, so his established profile carries more weight. Pivetta ranked in the 99th percentile in pitching run value and in the top 20 percent of the sport in both hard-hit rate and barrel rate last season. We've seen that return to form in his brief stint this year. That helps an already ineffective San Francisco Giants offense.  

Logan Webb is Logan Webb, and few are better in the sport at getting ground balls (94th percentile); however, the Padres have enough power in the lineup to avoid those ground balls just enough to enable them to grind out a win.

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.
