Betting Analyst

Ronald Acuña Jr. is in strong power form, hitting .440 with three homers over his last six games. His .440 ISO and 52.4% hard-hit rate support the surge, while Philadelphia’s homer-prone bullpen gives him another path to leave the yard.

The Under 7.5 fits despite the low number because neither offense is flourishing and both starters are capable of keeping this controlled. Philadelphia’s bullpen has some homer risk, but Atlanta’s relief corps is dealing, and the Phillies’ cold bats support a lower-scoring game.

EV Model Rating
Star rating: 4 out of 5
The leading projection system (THE BAT X) projects Griffin Conine in the 89th percentile when assessing his home run talent.. Griffin Conine is projected to hit 3rd in the batting order in this matchup.. Griffin Conine will receive the benefit of the platoon advantage against Jonah Tong today.. Griffin Conine has a good chance to have an advantage against every reliever for the game's entirety, since the bullpen of the New York Mets has just 1 same-handed RP.. Griffin Conine will have the benefit of the home field advantage today, which should bolster all of his stats.

Star rating: 3 out of 5
The #1 venue in baseball for suppressing home runs to lefties, according to the leading projection system (THE BAT), is LoanDepot Park.. The 4th-deepest RF fences among all major league parks are found in LoanDepot Park.. LoanDepot Park's elevation is near sea-level, one of the lowest in the majors, which generally leads to less offense.. The LoanDepot Park roof figures to be closed today, making the temperature in this match-up -9° colder than the average outdoor game of the day — favorable for pitching.. Jakob Marsee's exit velocity on flyballs has decreased recently; his 90.5-mph seasonal figure has dropped off to 87.1-mph in the last two weeks' worth of games.

Mike Trout projects as the 8th-best hitter in the game, according to the leading projection system (THE BAT X).. Mike Trout is penciled in 2nd in the lineup in today's game.. Fenway Park grades out as the #3 park in the majors for run-scoring, according to the leading projection system (THE BAT).. In the majors, Fenway Park's LF fences are the shallowest.. Bats such as Mike Trout with extreme groundball tendencies are usually more effective when facing pitchers like Brayan Bello who skew towards the flyball end of the spectrum.

Best Odds
Pick made: 2 minutes ago
EV Model Rating
Star rating: 4 out of 5
Because of Patrick Sandoval's large platoon split, Josh Lowe will be at a gigantic disadvantage hitting from the same side of the dish in this game.. Josh Lowe has an 80th percentile opposite-field rate on his flyballs (34%) and is a great match for the park considering he'll be hitting them out towards the league's shallowest LF fences today.. Josh Lowe's launch angle this season (18.9°) is quite a bit higher than his 9.4° figure last season.. Despite posting a .273 wOBA this year, the leading projection system (THE BAT X) believes Josh Lowe has been unlucky given the .031 deviation between that figure and his estimated true talent wOBA of .304.

Coby Mayo destroys left-handed pitching. He is sporting a .412 ISO and 22.6% barrel rate on the season, which is almost unfathomable.

Fastballs, curveballs, and changeups account for well over 90% of Joey Cantillo’s pitches against righties. Mayo hits them all for power, posting ISOs of .429, .727, and .367 respectively.

The Baltimore Orioles rank second in barrel rate, second in hard hit rate, and fifth in xwOBA vs. southpaws over the past month.

Joey Cantillo has posted a 1.52 WHIP and 5.09 SIERA during that span, making him a vulnerable target the Orioles should get to.

Back Baltimore to 57%.

The Diamondbacks are 28th in wOBA and 30th in xwOBA over the past two weeks, so with the Royals respectively checking in ninth and eighth in the two metrics, I’m expecting Kansas City to pull away. Royals lefty Noah Cameron has also settled in down the stretch with a high-end 2.34 xERA and 2.82 xFIP across his past seven starts, while the Diamondbacks counter with inexperienced righty Jose Cabrera (4.84 xERA and 5.00 xFIP).

The leading projection system (THE BAT X) projects Lourdes Gurriel Jr. in the 19th percentile when it comes to his BABIP skill.. Lourdes Gurriel Jr. pulls a high percentage of his flyballs (34.8% — 81st percentile) and will have to hit them out towards the league's deepest LF fences today.. The Kansas City Royals infield defense grades out as the best among all the teams in action today.. Playing on the road generally lessens hitter stats in all categories due to the lack of home field advantage, which should be the case for Lourdes Gurriel Jr. today.. Lourdes Gurriel Jr.'s exit velocity on flyballs has dropped off this season; his 92.4-mph EV last season has decreased to 89.6-mph.

Suzuki has crushed lefties with a .256 ISO and is a ripe candidate to leave the yard this afternoon considering he’s only hit two homers across his past 18 games. Plus, Milwaukee starter Robert Gasser has allowed a healthy 1.76 HR/9 and .194 ISO to right-handed hitters.

Before a 2-1 snoozer in the series finale Sept. 3, the Cubs and Brewers combined for 47 runs across the first three games, including 13 in the tilt Boyd and Gasser started. Chicago paces the majors in wOBA, xwOBA and ISO across the past two weeks, in addition to leading the way in wOBA against lefties for the season, while Milwaukee checks in with respective ranks of fourth, ninth, 16th and 14th.

According to the weather report, the temperature and humidity for this contest will be the 7th-most suitable for hitting of the day.. Maxwell Clark has an 85th percentile opposite-field rate on his flyballs (34.7%) but may find it hard to clear baseball's 5th-deepest LF fences in today's matchup.. Maxwell Clark's exit velocity on flyballs has decreased in recent games; his 87.9-mph seasonal figure has fallen off to 72.5-mph in the last week.

Rafael Devers is getting another look after falling short on his hits, runs and RBI prop Sunday, though he did smoke a single at over 107 mph. The San Francisco Giants slugger owns the second-highest matchup rating on the day, covering over 87% of Michael McGreevy's pitch mix. The last 30 left-handed hitters McGreevy has faced are generating a 13% barrel rate and 30.4% ground-ball rate while posting a .282 xBA and .473 SLG. Devers has been crushing the ball lately, posting a .923 SLG, .538 ISO, near-70% hard-hit rate and 27% barrel rate over his last 10 games.

Rafael Devers has five career at-bats vs. Michael McGreevy. He hit the ball hard in four of them, and left the park twice.

As you’d expect given that history, Devers profiles well against McGreevy’s mix. Fastballs and cutters make up two of his three most-used pitches, and Devers has posted ISOs of .370 and .475 against those two.

The Cincinnati Reds have been one of baseball’s hottest offenses lately, making their first-five team total worth a look Monday. Cincinnati is averaging 2.51 runs through the first five innings this season and has been especially productive over its last six games, posting a 132 wRC+, .366 wOBA and .833 OPS. Meanwhile, Dodgers right-hander Emmet Sheehan has struggled over his last three outings, posting an 8.31 ERA and allowing a 15% barrel rate. He also enters Monday with the sixth-worst pitcher rating, per Batters-Box. With Cincinnati’s offense rolling, asking the Reds to score two runs through five innings feels like a reasonable price.

Sutter Health Park has the 4th-lowest fence height (on average) in the majors.. The weather report calls for temperatures in this game to reach the 3rd-highest level of all games today at 87°, which is highly linked to an increase in offense (and a reduction in strikeouts).

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.

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.

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.
