Travis Bazzana o0.5 Total Home Runs (+625)
Travis Bazzana appears to be just fine after getting drilled in the hand by the Blue Jays a few days ago. He has since made two starts, putting together multi-hit performances in each.
Detroit starter Jackson Jobe is a fastball-first pitcher, and Bazzana is sporting a .312 average, .271 ISO, and near 50% hard hit rate against righty fastballs.
u7.5 (-119)
Detroit's .111 ISO against righties the past month slots them dead last, and Gavin Williams’ home run suppression numbers are much better at home.
Jobe is not near the talent Williams is but the Cleveland Guardians sit 30th in barrel rate against righties the last 30 days. They aren’t hitting for much power, which significantly lowers their offensive ceiling.
Play to 54%.

Kyle Stowers o0.5 Total Home Runs (+381)
Kyle Stowers has been swinging a hot bat for the Miami Marlins, making his home run prop worth a look against Chicago Cubs right-hander Clay Holmes. Over his last 30 at-bats against right-handed pitching, Stowers has posted an 83.3% hard-hit rate and 25% barrel rate, while producing a .577 SLG, .977 OPS and .269 ISO. Batters-Box gives Stowers an elite rating today, and he covers more than 83% of Holmes' pitch mix. While Holmes has found success against left-handed hitters this season, Stowers' recent quality of contact makes him difficult to fade in this matchup.

Rafael Devers o0.5 Total Home Runs (+301)
Rafael Devers has been one of baseball’s hottest bats, generating the third-highest barrel rate over his last 10 games while posting a 62.1% hard-hit rate and .949 SLG. He draws a favorable matchup Sunday against Mets right-hander Christian Scott, who has struggled against left-handed hitters. The last 30 lefties Scott has faced own a .346 xBA, .526 xSLG and .383 xwOBA, while he has allowed 2.70 HR/9 during that span. Devers enters Sunday with the second-highest matchup rating on Batters-Box and covers 100% of Scott’s pitch mix. With the matchup and recent form, Devers is worth backing.

Kazuma Okamoto o0.5 Total Home Runs (+450)
Kazuma Okamoto has hit seven of his 28 dingers against the sinker, which is Randy Dobnak’s most common pitch (39.4%).
Kauffman Stadium a lso is a very hitter-friendly ballpark, tied for fifth in Park Factor according to Statcast (102).
TOR (-120)
Randy Dobnak's xERA ranks in the 21st percentile (4.79), while his xBA is in the second percentile (.290).
He’ll face a Toronto Blue Jays offense that has been on fire since Aug. 28. Toronto is 7-1 over that span with a .283 team batting average (2nd) and a .347 wOBA (4th).

Spencer Jones o0.5 Total Home Runs (-5158)
Spencer Jones has moved from a secondary consideration to a player I want to back against Michael King and the San Diego Padres. Jones has been crushing right-handed pitching over his last 30 at-bats, posting a .538 SLG and .307 ISO with a 62.5% hard-hit rate and 25% barrel rate. King has also struggled to limit quality contact from left-handed hitters, who have generated a nearly 10% barrel rate over their last 60 at-bats against him. Five of Jones' last 10 batted balls have been hit at least 102 mph, making him a difficult player to pass up this afternoon.
u7.5 (-139)
With how poorly the Padres have been swinging the bat lately and how well Gerrit Cole and Michael King have been on the rubber, this game should stay under this low total.
Cole has been allowing a ton of hard contact over his last five starts, but that comes with being a heavy fastball pitcher. He still has a 1.12 WHIP over that stretch. King has done a great job limiting hard-hit balls across his last five starts, posting a 1.71 ERA and 1.04 WHIP.
This feels like a 3-2 ballgame.

Lawrence Butler o0.5 Total Home Runs (+610)
Lawrence Butler has been on a tear since the beginning of August, hitting .355 with a 137 wRC+. Butler has a 9.2% barrel rate and 51.7% hard-hit rate during that span, meaning that he's been elevating and celebrating a lot.
Bryan Woo has allowed a lot of loud contact to left-handed hitters during the last 30 days: 11.4% barrel rate and a 65.7% hard-hit rate.
u7.5 (-120)
Seattle's bats have not had success against left-handed starters since the All-Star break, ranking 24th in wRC+ during the first five innings of games when facing a southpaw. Gage Jump has been tagged for some crooked numbers in recent outings, but this matchup is still likely to be an uphill challenge for the Mariners offense.
Bryan Woo owns a 2.89 ERA and 4.25 xERA since the beginning of August, allowing two earned runs or fewer in four of his five starts during that span.

Tristan Peters o0.5 Total Hits (-160)
Tristan Peters has been swinging a hot bat lately, making a modest hit prop worth considering despite his spot near the bottom of the lineup. The former Banana Ball player owns a .296 BA, .519 SLG and .886 OPS while posting an almost 61% hard-hit rate. The matchup with Ober also sets up well, as left-handed hitters have posted a sub-.280 BA and .486 SLG against him, while he has allowed a 70.5% elevation rate on the road. At $1.60, asking Peters to record a hit is a reasonable price. Shop around, though, as shorter prices are available elsewhere.
Kody Clemens o1.5 Hits+Runs+RBIs (+100)
Kody Clemens has been swinging a hot bat for the Twins, making him an intriguing target for his HRR prop against White Sox right-hander Jose Urquidy. While Urquidy has been excellent at limiting hard contact, he has allowed hitters to elevate the ball at a high rate. That sets up well for Clemens, who has posted a .694 xSLG and .265 ISO over his last 10 games while generating a 55.6% hard-hit rate. With the hottest bat in Minnesota's lineup, Clemens is worth a look to record a homer, run or RBI. At even money, this prop feels like a steal.

James Wood o0.5 Total Home Runs (+350)
While James Wood is more productive facing righties, the power numbers vs. southpaws (17.3% barrel rate, 53.8% hard hit rate) are still outstanding.
He has faced Justin Wrobleski three times in his young career. He walked in one of them, and homered in the two at-bats.
o8.5 (+100)
Andrew Alvarez has posted a 4.41 xERA over 10 starts in hitter-friendly conditions this season, and favorable weather is projected tonight.
Justin Wrobleski pitches well in stretches but is vulnerable to power. He has allowed 1.45 HR/9 this year, and the Nationals have a lot more pop with the recent return of James Wood.
Target the Over to 52%.
Our experts and prediction models are hard at work analyzing the data. Check back shortly for today's picks, or explore our Computer Picks for inspiration.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
