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 Owen Caissie in the 95th percentile as it relates to his BABIP skill.. Owen Caissie has primarily hit in the back-half of the batting order this season (87% of the time), but he is penciled in 3rd on the lineup card today.. Owen Caissie will have the handedness advantage against Jonah Tong in today's game.. Owen Caissie has a good chance to have an advantage against every reliever for the duration of the game, since the bullpen of the New York Mets only has 1 same-handed RP.. Owen Caissie hits a high percentage of his flyballs to center field (38.5% — 86th percentile) and sets up very well considering he'll be hitting out towards the game's 6th-shallowest CF fences in today's matchup.

42% of the time that Owen Caissie has started against a northpaw this year, he has been pinch hit for.. The #1 venue in baseball for suppressing home runs to lefties, according to the leading projection system (THE BAT), is 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 -8° colder than the average outdoor game of the day — favorable for pitching.. Based on Statcast data, Owen Caissie grades out in the 15th percentile for hitting ability according to the leading projection system (THE BAT X)'s version of Expected wOBA (xwOBA) since the start of last season at .240.

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%.

Betting Analyst

The Chicago Cubs are trading as a 48% underdog against the Milwaukee Brewers, but I price them closer to a 51% favorite, so I'm backing Chicago on Polymarket. Two things stand out to me in this matchup. First, I'm backing Matthew Boyd on the road, where he owns a 2.83 ERA compared to a 5.40 ERA at Wrigley Field. Second, Brewers starter Robert Gasser relies heavily on his slider. The Cubs have several right-handed bats, including Alex Bregman, Nico Hoerner, and Seiya Suzuki, who are either patient against off-speed pitches from lefties or have swing paths that profile well against the slider. If Gasser can't generate outs with his slider, he'll be forced to attack the zone with a low-velocity fastball. The Cubs also faced him just six days ago, giving the hitters a recent look at his stuff and an even greater advantage in what is already a difficult matchup.

I’ll back the Brewers at home at a reasonable price. Milwaukee enters this matchup with the better overall record and has already won six of 10 meetings with Chicago this season. The pitching matchup between Robert Gasser and Matthew Boyd doesn’t provide a huge advantage either way, so I’m comfortable siding with the better team at home for less than -150.

Luke Keaschall is projected to bat 1st in the batting order in this game, which would be an upgrade from his 65% rate of hitting in the bottom-half of the lineup this year.. In the majors, Comerica Park has the 3rd-lowest average fence height.. Comerica Park sits at the 9th-highest elevation in the league. High elevation generally leads to more offense..

Comerica Park profiles as the #23 field in the game for right-handed BABIP, per the leading projection system (THE BAT).. According to the weather report, the temperature and humidity for this contest will be the 7th-most suitable for hitting of the day.. Hitting from the opposite that Connor Prielipp throws from, Gleyber Torres will have an advantage today.. Gleyber Torres has a 99th percentile opposite-field rate on his flyballs (40.2%) and has the misfortune of hitting them towards the league's 10th-deepest RF fences in today's matchup.. In the last week's worth of games, Gleyber Torres's Barrel% has experienced a negative regression, plummeting from his seasonal rate of 6.8% down to 0%.

Dylan Crews hits a lot of his flyballs to center field (40.2% — 98th percentile) and is a great match for the park considering he'll be hitting towards MLB's 2nd-shallowest CF fences today.. Compared to last season, Dylan Crews has improved his ability to hit the ball at a launch angle ideal for home runs, increasing his percentage of balls hit between 23° and 34° from 13.1% to 19.1% this season.. Dylan Crews has been unlucky this year, notching a .285 wOBA despite the leading projection system (THE BAT X) estimating his true talent level to be .309 — a .024 gap.

The Reds are worth a shot as road underdogs with Chase Burns on the mound. Burns is 15-3 with a 2.79 ERA and has struck out 171 batters across 145 1/3 innings.

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.
