Star rating: 3 out of 5
The leading projection system (THE BAT X) projects Otto Lopez as the 7th-best hitter in the majors when it comes to his batting average skill.. Otto Lopez is projected to hit 1st in the batting order in this matchup.. Otto Lopez will hold the platoon advantage against Payton Tolle in today's matchup.. Otto Lopez hits a high percentage of his flyballs to center field (39.1% — 93rd percentile) and is fortunate to face the league's 6th-shallowest CF fences in today's game.. Extreme groundball batters like Otto Lopez generally hit better against extreme flyball pitchers like Payton Tolle.

When assessing his overall offensive skill, Wilyer Abreu ranks in the 93rd percentile according to the leading projections (THE BAT X).. Wilyer Abreu is projected to bat 3rd in the batting order in today's game.. Batting from the opposite that Tyler Phillips throws from, Wilyer Abreu will have an advantage today..

EV Model Rating
Star rating: 3 out of 5
The leading projection system (THE BAT X) projects Cedric Mullins in the 2nd percentile when estimating his BABIP ability.. Cedric Mullins is penciled in 8th in the lineup in this game.. The wind projects to be blowing in from CF at 8.2-mph in this game, the best of the day for pitchers.. Cedric Mullins pulls a lot of his flyballs (39.8% — 97th percentile) and has the misfortune of hitting them towards MLB's 10th-deepest RF fences today.. Playing on the road typically lowers hitter metrics across the board due to the lack of home field advantage, which ought to be the case for Cedric Mullins in today's game.

Betting Analyst

This is a series you're going to want to keep an eye on, as it features two of the top teams in the National League and could be a preview of a postseason matchup. Bryce Elder will get the ball for the Atlanta Braves, and this is a tough matchup for the right-hander. Elder is heavily dependent on locating his sinker at the bottom of the zone and generating ground balls to record outs. Unfortunately for him, the Dodgers lineup features some of the most feared left-handed bats in the league, including Shohei Ohtani, Freddie Freeman, and Max Muncy. All three have swing paths designed to elevate pitches at the bottom of the zone. If Elder misses his spot even slightly and the sinker leaks over the inner half of the plate, the Dodgers have multiple left-handed hitters capable of barreling up the pitch. The Dodgers are trading at 59 cents on Polymarket, but I make them closer to a 63-cent favorite in this spot.

Total RBIs
Austin Riley logo
Austin Riley o0.5 Total RBIs (+226)
Projection 0.51
Best Odds
Pick made: 20 minutes ago
EV Model Rating
Star rating: 4 out of 5
The leading projection system (THE BAT X) projects Austin Riley in the 94th percentile when it comes to his home run skill.. The weather forecast calls for temperatures in this contest to reach the 2nd-highest level of all games on the slate at 89°, which is highly linked to an increase in offense (and a reduction in strikeouts).. Austin Riley hits many of his flyballs to center field (38.4% — 84th percentile) and will have a big advantage facing the game's 5th-shallowest CF fences in today's game.. The Los Angeles Dodgers outfield defense projects as the 3rd-worst out of all the teams on the slate today.. Home field advantage generally bolsters batter metrics in all categories, and Austin Riley will hold that advantage in today's game.

The Yankees rank Top-3 in OPS, ISO, OBP, xWOBA, and hard hit rate when facing left-handed pitching. The Red Sox have hit righties very well over the past four weeks, sitting ninth in wOBA, ninth in ISO, and fourth in batting average. Play the Over to -120.

Ranger Suarez has started four games against teams ranking Top-10 in OPS vs. left-handed pitching, allowing 13 runs and posting a 6.13 ERA during those games. The New York Yankees lead the majors in OPS against lefties so they’re a prime candidate to cause Suarez problems. Playable to -145.

The Giants are pacing the majors in wOBA and are fourth in xwOBA while averaging 5.5 runs per game across the past 30 days, and the Braves ranks ninth in wOBA against right-handed pitchers and third in overall xwOBA, so I think this total is too low.

The Braves have dropped five of six while averaging just 2.8 runs per game and ranking 29th in wOBA without Ronald Acuna Jr. (hamstring), and it’s been a smoke-and-mirrors start for veteran lefty Martin Perez, and there’s serious statistical correction ahead of his .230 BABIP and 80.2% strand rate considering they’re both high-end marks about pitchers with at least 60 innings this season. San Francisco is just the offense to kick-start the regression, too. The Giants are pacing the majors in wOBA and fourth in xwOBA over the past 30 days, after all.

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.

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.
