BOS (-131)
Aisha Quiñones
Senior Publishing Editor
The Boston Red Sox hold a distinct pitching edge with starter Ranger Suárez (3.41 ERA), backed by an elite Boston bullpen that ranks among the league’s most reliable with a sub-3.00 ERA. The Miami Marlins continue to struggle against solid left-handed pitching, making this a tough situational spot for the Marlins at home. With Boston's offense consistently creating run-manufacturing opportunities and Miami’s relief core lacking the depth to match late-game high-leverage situations, lay the short price and back the Red Sox to secure the road win.

Total Home Runs

Quinn Allen
Betting Analyst
Kevin McGonigle is a live home run look with two bombs in his last six games and a huge fly-ball profile. His 47.8% hard-hit rate and 17.4% barrel rate support the power surge, while Tampa Bay’s struggling bullpen gives him a clear late-game path tonight.

o7.5 (-112)
Quinn Allen
Betting Analyst
The Over 7.5 is built around bullpen vulnerability and late scoring. Detroit’s relief corps has been hammered lately, while Tampa Bay’s pen is also allowing homers. Rasmussen can still pitch well, but Valdez’s command issues and both shaky bullpens create multiple scoring paths tonight at Comerica Park.

Ryan Feltner enters Monday with the lowest average strikeout rate on the day over at Batters-Box, making his under 3.5 strikeouts an intriguing look. In his previous 26 games with a poorly rated strikeout rate, Feltner stayed under this number 50% of the time and has cashed the under in eight of his last 10 such outings. While his road strikeout rate sits at 15.20% this season, it has dipped below 10% across his last three starts. The Nationals also have two hitters above a 20% strikeout rate against right-handed pitching in their last 30 at-bats. Plus money makes the under appealing.

Nationals Park's elevation is near sea-level, one of the lowest among all major league stadiums, which often leads to less offense.. Batting from the same side that Ryan Feltner throws from, Jacob Young faces a tough challenge in today's game.

The Under 8.5 is more about Texas’ offensive struggles than Chicago’s lineup. The Rangers have a 77 wRC+ over the last week, while their bullpen has been solid behind Rocker. If Urquidy and the White Sox relief corps hold up, this can stay contained.

Chicago has the cleaner full-game profile with Kumar Rocker struggling to find consistency and walking hitters too often. The White Sox offense owns a 117 wRC+ over its last 13 games, while Jose Urquidy’s recent scoreless outing and a solid bullpen give Chicago enough support tonight.

Parker Messick continues to find himself in strong strikeout spots, and tonight is no different against the Los Angeles Angels. The Guardians left-hander has been dominant recently, posting a 32% strikeout rate over his last three starts and 29% over his last five. He is also generating plenty of swings and misses, with 30% of his pitches ending in a swinging strike or called strike. The Angels feature eight hitters with at least a 21.7% strikeout rate and four at 32.8% or higher. Against lefties, they own a 25.5% strikeout rate, making Messick’s strikeout props very intriguing tonight.

Pete Crow-Armstrong is back on the radar after cashing us out yesterday, and +365 is a delicious price for the Cubs slugger to go yard in back-to-back games. He draws Diamondbacks right-hander Merrill Kelly, who has struggled against lefties. The last 30 left-handed hitters he has faced are generating a 50% hard-hit rate, 13.6% barrel rate and 63.6% elevation rate, while owning a .464 xBA, .886 xSLG and .563 xwOBA. Crow-Armstrong also enters with an elite Batters-Box rating. In 31 elite-rated games this season, he has homered in nearly 30% of them. Over his last 10 games, he owns a .732 SLG and .488 ISO.

Merrill Kelly and powerful offenses go together like oil and water. Kelly has posted a 7.30 ERA and allowed 2.43 home runs per nine innings over seven starts vs. Top-10 teams in ISO.

Gilbert has allowed the last 30 left-handed hitters he has faced to produce a 43% line-drive rate, while allowing a .331 xBA and .476 xSLG. Schwarber has continued to crush the ball, posting a .549 xSLG, .302 ISO, 45.5% hard-hit rate and 18.2% barrel rate over his last 10 games. Against right-handed pitching over his last 30 at-bats, he owns a 52.4% hard-hit rate and 28.6% barrel rate. With Schwarber locked in, his home run price is worth attacking.

Logan Gilbert combines to throw the fastball and slider more than 60% of the time against left-handed hitters.

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.

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.
