CLE
Mon, Sep 14 • 6:40 PM ET
Jo Adell o0.5 Total Home Runs (+560)
Play up to 20%. Adell’s power metrics aren’t at their peak, but the matchup still offers upside. He owns a .281 ISO against left-handed pitching and a 39.5% fly-ball rate at home. After going deep Sunday and posting a 41.2% recent hard-hit rate, Adell is worth a small home-run sprinkle.
CLE (-151)
Play up to 62%. Gavin Williams is in excellent form, sporting a 0.56 FIP across his last 13 innings and a 2.60 FIP over the past month. That sets up well against a struggling White Sox lineup, while Cleveland’s red-hot offense gets a favorable matchup against Sean Newcomb.

Teoscar Hernandez o1.5 Hits+Runs+RBIs (-124)
Teoscar Hernández came through for us against Nick Lodolo last week, nearly producing a little league home run in the process. I’m going right back to him for another boom this evening. Hernández has covered this prop nearly 60% of the time across 44 elite road ratings, while hitting a double 34% of the time and leaving the yard over 20%. He has also been crushing the ball lately, posting a .676 SLG and 53.6% hard-hit rate over his last 10 games. Meanwhile, Lodolo has allowed a nearly 50% hard-hit rate to his last 60 right-handed hitters faced.
Nick Lodolo o4.5 Strikeouts Thrown (+115)
Two things can be true: I can not like a pitcher, but I can still like his Over strikeout props. That's where I am with Nick Lodolo today, with his plus-money punchout prop carrying a fair price of -115. The projection is 91 pitches and 4.76 Ks today for the lefty, who has hit the Over on his K prop in three straight starts. That 91-pitch projection might be low, as Lodolo has thrown 97, 100 and 95 pitches across his last three starts. He might get hit by the Dodgers, the No. 11 offense in wRC+ in the second half, but he can miss bats in good pitching conditions, in a tough park with the winds blowing in and temperatures dropping.

Pete Alonso o0.5 Total Home Runs (+331)
Mets starter Jonah Tong might have strikeout potential, but he gets hit hard, with 22 dingers allowed in 107 Triple-A innings. He's allowed eight runs over his two games since being recalled and is a good candidate today to hunt for homers with some big names on the other side. I haven't hit Pete Alonso much of late, as the price has been shy of three dollars, which is always a tough one to bite on, but he's sitting at 23.3% today and is in the buy zone for me. All I'm getting at that price is a guy with 14 homers in the second half (T-7) and the second-best xwOBA in baseball over that stretch. It's righty-on-righty, but Tong has worse splits against right-handed bats. I'm playing this to 25% or 4x.
o7.5 (-123)
Nothing crazy here, just a projected 9% ROI on the Over, per THE BAT, which is predicting a total of 9.47 runs. Usually in these cases, the market doesn't account enough for one team, and there's value in that moneyline. But today, the missing value is equal on both sides, as both teams' totals show expected value to the Over. Jonah Tong has given up eight runs over his two games since being called up from Triple-A, where he had a mediocre 4.54 ERA but was missing bats. He's getting hit hard when he does, though, with 22 homers allowed in 107 minor-league innings.
On the other side, Brandon Young's 5.22 FIP in the second half indicates a pitcher whose sub-4.00 ERA isn't quite as it appears.

Mon, Sep 14 • 7:40 PM ET
Aaron Judge o1.5 Hits+Runs+RBIs (-124)
Aaron Judge is in a prime spot to bounce back after a brutal Sunday against a Minnesota Twins pitching staff led by right-hander Dean Kremer. Judge has gone over this prop more than 57% of the time over the last three seasons across a 373-game sample, while Kremer has allowed a 57.1% hard-hit rate, nearly a 20% barrel rate and a 76.2% elevation rate to his last 30 right-handed hitters faced. Kremer also owns a 7.62 ERA and 1.85 WHIP while allowing a barrel rate above 13%. With the matchup heavily favoring Judge, we are backing the Yankees captain to boom tonight.
Luis Garcia o0.5 Total Home Runs (+380)
Luis Garcia Jr. has a .384 wOBA, .564 SLG, and 13.6% barrel rate against right-handed pitching since the first of August. This while leading the team in hard hit balls by a margin of 10.
The splits are working in his favor on both fronts as Dean Kremer has allowed a whopping .264 ISO to left-handed bats on the season.

Ronald Acuna Jr. o0.5 Total Home Runs (+465)
Acuna Jr. has teed off for four homers and a 1.078 OPS through 12 September games, and he has a home run and career .945 against Cubs starter David Peterson. Acuna has also tagged lefties for a .190 ISO this season, so I like him to leave the yard with the wind blowing out to left-center field tonight.
o9.5 (-105)
This Over 9.5 is in play to -115 because both teams are set up for success at the dish with the forecast calling for the wind to be blowing out to left-center field at a 14-16 mph clip at Wrigley Field tonight. Braves righty Reynaldo Lopez sports a 5.00 xERA and 4.35 xFIP as a starter, and Cubs lefty David Peterson has surrendered a healthy 38.8% hard-hit rate and 37.9% squared-up contact rate since joining the club in June. Plus, both teams are eyeing statistical correction at the dish. There are too many proven -- and dangerous -- hitters in both lineups for Chicago and Atlanta to rank 26th and 25th in BABIP across the past week.

Hunter Goodman o0.5 Total Home Runs (+260)
Playable to 27%
Hunter Goodman didn't hit a home run, or even record a barrel, from August 27 to September 6, but he's now hit a pair of home runs in his last five games and appears to be turning a corner at the plate. Tonight, he gets to face Casey Mize, who has allowed a 21.9% barrel rate and 59.4% hard-hit rate to right-handed hitters during the last 30 days. This matchup is about as good as it gets for Goodman, in terms of home run potential.
u10.5 (+105)
Playable to 50%
Casey Mize has struggled across the platoon in recent weeks, but he's still done a good job limiting quality contact in the air, which should help him keep the damage reasonable against the Rockies. Sugano hasn't allowed many barrels lately, either. If both of these starting pitchers can keep the ball in the yard on Monday, runs could be at a relative premium in the early frames.
Both teams should have all of their high leverage relievers available, too, which could limit scoring opportunities in the late innings.

Reid Detmers u17.5 Outs Recorded (+107)
I really think fading Reid Detmers today might be the smartest betting choice I'm going to make all day. I'm already on his Under 6.5 strikeouts, but I want more on this edge, so I'm adding his Under 17.5 outs with plenty of confidence and would play this to -125. One of my favorite pitcher edges is finding guys coming off season-highs in pitches, but today with Reid, it's at another level. Detmers is coming off 112 pitches, which is a career-high. He's also at 168 innings this year after throwing just 87 and 63 innings over the previous two seasons. I'm betting on Detmers' efficiency dipping today, especially in the later innings. I have this one circled with a red Sharpie.
Reid Detmers u6.5 Strikeouts Thrown (-108)
A lot has to go right for seven punch-outs for any pitcher, and especially for Reid Detmers, who I have a fair price of around -135. The biggest concern for the lefty is the workload. He's coming off a 112-pitch outing, a number he hadn't sniffed in his six-year MLB career. He's also at 168 innings after throwing just 151 combined over the previous two seasons. I don't care about the matchup (priced in) or the form (priced in). I just know that after those levels of output, efficiency and stamina are going to break down, and that's why I think this is one of the best betting angles on the board today.

Ketel Marte o0.5 Total Home Runs (+575)
Isolating Sandy Alcantara's three most-used pitches against left-handed batters, Ketel Marte leads the Diamondbacks in both barrel rate (11.6%) and near home runs (17), according to PropFinder.
Marte also has an encouraging track record against Alcantara. He hit the ball hard in six of eight career at-bats, and left the park with one of them.
AZ (-129)
I have the Diamondbacks priced at 57%.
They are fifth in line drives and second in fly balls against right-handed pitching during September.
That sets up well vs. Sandy Alcantara, who has allowed a lot of fly balls while striking out less than 10% of opposing batters the past 30 days.

Padres vs Rockies Prediction, Picks & Odds for Today's MLB Game
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
