Best Odds
Pick made: 9 hours ago
Jon Metler image
Jon Metler
Betting Analyst

This is not the same Paul Skenes we've seen over the last two seasons. His fastball has lost some velocity, down 2 mph from his rookie season, and the way the Marlins are constructing this lineup takes away one of his biggest weapons: his slider, which is devastating on the outer half of the plate against right-handed bats. Miami is expected to stack the lineup with six left-handed bats. Otto Lopez and Xavier Edwards at the top of the order are also low-strikeout hitters who work counts and put the ball in play. Skenes has struggled to work deep into games lately, rarely making it to the sixth inning, and the Marlins have the lineup construction to drive up his pitch count and force an early exit. Polymarket has Miami trading at 50 cents, but I make them closer to 54 cents, which is why I'm backing the Marlins.

When it comes to his home run ability, Griffin Conine ranks in the 87th percentile according to the leading projection system (THE BAT X).. Griffin Conine is projected to hit 4th on the lineup card in this matchup, which would be an upgrade from his 61% rate of hitting in the bottom-half of the batting order this season.. Griffin Conine will hold the platoon advantage against Paul Skenes in today's matchup.. Home field advantage typically bolsters batter metrics across the board, and Griffin Conine will hold that advantage in today's matchup.

Dillon Dingler brings real home run appeal after going deep three times in the last week with a .385 ISO. Bibee’s recent 47.1% fly-ball rate creates a lift-friendly matchup, and Dingler has put 45.5% of his contact in the air lately. One mistake can leave Comerica quickly for Detroit tonight.

The Under 8.5 leans on muted power and bullpen form. Detroit can score against Bibee, but Cleveland has limited homer damage, while the Tigers own a dominant 2.39 xERA out of the bullpen recently. The Guardians’ road issues and .093 ISO over their last six games keep the total in check.

The #3 stadium in the league for suppressing BABIP to righties, according to the leading projection system (THE BAT), is Nationals Park.. Nationals Park's altitude is near sea-level, one of the lowest in the majors, which generally leads to less offense..

Betting Analyst

This game projects for 9.89 runs with a fair price of -181 on this total, making it a buy even at 8.5 runs at -110. Bryan Woo is coming off a hefty 100-pitch outing, a number he has reached just once this season, while averaging fewer than 90 pitches per start. That workload could be an issue against a Yankees lineup in a favorable hitting environment. It’s also a good spot to fade Ryan Weathers, who has not allowed a run in his last two starts but still owns the 11th-worst hard-hit rate among MLB starters this season. Woo is even worse, ranking ninth-worst. Both starters also rank in the bottom 50 in Blast Contact%. Looking at the later innings, both bullpens rank in the bottom five in the league in WAR over the last 30 days. With pitching concerns from start to finish, there are enough paths to runs to back the Over on this short total.

Betting Analyst

Cal Raleigh is hitting for a lot of power right now, posting an average exit velocity of 96.2 over the past 10 games while barreling up 36.2% of the time and hitting eight balls at least 300 feet.

Nobody on the Seattle Mariners has bested Raleigh in any of those categories – Taylor Ward is the only player remotely close – and favorable conditions could help convert a flyout into a homer. 

Bet to +310.

Play to -125. The Orioles are 21st in OPS since the All-Star break, while the Twins are 27th. Minnesota starter Bailey Ober's big weakness is inducing strikeouts (10th percentile), but Baltimore loves to go fishing (24%). Brandon Young is due for regression based on xERA, but the Twins are not the team that will bring it. Furthermore, these bullpens are both Top 10 by xERA over the last 30 days.

The leading projection system (THE BAT X) projects Noelvi Marte in the 77th percentile when it comes to his batting average talent.. Guaranteed Rate Field profiles as the #8 field in Major League Baseball for RHB batting average, according to the leading projection system (THE BAT).. Homers are generally more common at parks with shallow fences, and Guaranteed Rate Field has the shallowest among all major league parks.. Humid weather has a small yet noteworthy correlation with more offense (and fewer whiffs), and the weather report projects the 2nd-highest humidity of all games today at 83%.. Bats such as Noelvi Marte with extreme flyball tendencies are usually more effective when facing pitchers like Sean Burke who skew towards the groundball end of the spectrum.

The Cristopher Sanchez portion of this equation is simple. The Phillies lefty is among baseball's best starters, has consistently pitched deep into games, and rarely gets blown up, allowing more than three earned runs once in his last seven starts and only four times across 24 outings in 2026. It's the opposite end that is more interesting. No matter how often I expect Andre Pallante to implode, he doesn't, and his metrics — other than strikeout rate — offer enough encouragement that he's not suddenly going to fall apart, either.

EV Model Rating
Star rating: 4 out of 5
According to the leading projection system (THE BAT), J.T. Realmuto (the Phillies's expected catcher in today's matchup) is considered to be a weak pitch framer.. The #1 park in MLB for suppressing strikeouts, via the leading projection system (THE BAT), is Busch Stadium.. Hot weather is strongly correlated with more offense (and fewer Ks), and the weather forecast projects the hottest temperature of all games on the slate at 94°.. The wind projects to be blowing out to LF at 9.8-mph in this game, the 3rd-best of the day for bats.. As a result of his large platoon split, Cristopher Sanchez will have a tough challenge facing 6 hitters in the projected offense of opposing handedness in today's matchup.

Play to -150. Walker Buehler has an ERA north of 5.00 due in part to his pitiful chase rate (10th percentile) and whiff rate (11th percentile). Unfortunately for him, the Brewers offense is Top 5 in both areas. Milwaukee is also 11th in OPS since the All-Star break. Buehler's opposite number, southpaw Kyle Harrison, figures to give the Padres fits based on their season-long OPS vs. lefties (.672, 27th).

Atlanta and Chicago send two of the best lineups in baseball to the dish, and they respectively rank eighth and third in wOBA against lefties for the campaign. The two clubs have also trended to the Over, and I'm particularly expecting White Sox southpaw Anthony Kay to struggle considering he's saddled with the fifth-highest xERA in baseball among the 100 pitchers with at least 60 innings this year.

I'm fading Chicago White Sox lefty Anthony Kay on Thursday. He's sporting the fifth-highest xERA among the 100 pitchers with at least 60 innings, after all. Plus, the Atlanta Braves enter ranked eighth in wOBA against southpaws for the season and sixth in overall xwOBA across the past 14 days.

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.

More MLB Picks & Betting Tools

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.
