New York Yankees outfielder Spencer Jones draws a favorable matchup against Baltimore Orioles right-hander Shane Baz this afternoon. Baz has struggled recently, posting a 6.06 ERA and 1.47 WHIP while allowing a 10.53% barrel rate. Left-handed hitters have especially given him trouble, with the last 30 posting a .451 xBA, .684 xSLG and .445 xwOBA against him.

Over his last 10 games, he owns a 54.2% hard-hit rate and 12.5% barrel rate, making him worth backing at $1.44 to record a hit.

Dustin Saracini
Senior Analyst
In a year where Vladdy struggled for power at home, it would be a fitting end for him to go yard to end the regular season. Williamson's .467 xSLG is among the worst in baseball and suggests we'll be seeing some loud contact from the Blue Jays today. Why not Vladdy? Let's ride with Toronto's franchise player one last time.
Strikeouts Thrown
Max Scherzer o5.5 Strikeouts Thrown (-105)
Dustin Saracini
Senior Analyst
In potentially his last start before retirement, it only makes sense to ride with the legend that is Max Scherzer. It helps that veteran has absolutely dominated this Cincinnati Reds lineup, striking them out at a 35% clip, which includes 10 punchouts of Eugenio Suarez. Not bad if you ask me. Coming off a seven-strikeout performance, I'm expecting Scherzer to go over this number one more time in the emotional end to an outstanding career.

Betting Analyst
Jo Adell has hammered left-handed pitching this year, hitting .314 with a .266 ISO and nearly 50% hard hit rate.
Daniel Lynch has a pitching outs line of 15.5 so he’s expected to get plenty of runway, opening the door for multiple Adell at-bats against the lefty.
When Lynch departs, Adell will face a very vulnerable bullpen. Royals relievers rank 29th in home runs per nine innings.

I can’t get to the 8.5 total, and would recommend the Under to 54%.
The Cleveland Guardians have played to the Under in 14 of Messick’s 15 road starts.
While this one could be a little shorter than usual, the Guardians still have an elite bullpen backing him up – and I doubt they get too casual with their usage given they have the entire week to rest.

Betting Analyst
The Diamondbacks are stringing together hits nicely but rank 23rd in homers this season. They’re generally not a team that runs up the score with quick-strike offense.
More importantly, the Padres are unlikely to contribute much. Soroka limits hard contact and walks effectively, making him a tough arm to score on at the best of times.
Total Home Runs
Corbin Carroll o0.5 Total Home Runs (+358)
Todd Cordell
Betting Analyst
Corbin Carroll leads all Arizona Diamondbacks players in ISO (.256) and barrel rate (13.8%) against Randy Vasquez’ most-used pitchers.
Given that, it should be no surprise Carroll has a strong track record facing the righty. Carroll has hit safely in five of 15 at-bats and, more notably, generated nine hard hit balls along the way.
The Padres are also unlikely to throw their best relievers out there with a playoff game coming Tuesday.

Star rating: 3 out of 5
In Major League Baseball, T-Mobile Park has the 8th-lowest average fence height.. Bryce Teodosio has a 95th percentile opposite-field rate on his flyballs (36.9%) and is a great match for the park considering he'll be hitting them towards baseball's 4th-shallowest RF fences in today's game.. Among all the teams on the slate today, the weakest infield defense is that of the Seattle Mariners.. Bryce Teodosio has had some very poor luck with his home runs since the start of last season; his 2.8 HR per 600 plate appearances rate is deflated compared to his 9.2 Expected HR/600, based on the leading projection system (THE BAT X)'s interpretation of Statcast data.

EV Model Rating
Star rating: 3 out of 5
As it relates to his home run ability, Austin Riley ranks in the 94th percentile according to the leading projection system (THE BAT X).. The LoanDepot Park roof figures to be closed today, making the temperature in this match-up 118° hotter than the average outdoor game on the schedule today — favorable for offense.. Austin Riley has big-time HR ability (94th percentile) if he makes contact, but that's never a guarantee (29.1% K%). Today, however, opposing pitcher Janson Junk has a pitch-to-contact profile (15th percentile K%) — great news for Riley.. Austin Riley hits a high percentage of his flyballs to center field (38.5% — 86th percentile) and will have a big advantage facing MLB's 6th-shallowest CF fences today.. Over the past 7 days, Austin Riley's Barrel% has experienced a surge, jumping from his seasonal rate of 12.6% up to 30.8%.

LoanDepot Park's altitude is near sea-level, one of the lowest among all major league parks, which often leads to worse offense.. Home field advantage typically improves pitcher stats across the board, and Janson Junk will hold that advantage in today's game.

Chicago has six elite-rated hitters and one more with a strong rating. Freeland has allowed 3+ runs in 75% of his 12 games this season while surrendering five or more hits in every outing. The White Sox have also posted a 117 wRC+, .339 wOBA and .761 OPS over the last week, making this a strong spot to back their offense early.

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.

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.
