Yordan Alvarez o0.5 Total Home Runs (+220)
Will Warren has allowed a .297 ISO and 2.28 HR/9 over his last 10 starts. He is really struggling to keep the ball in the park, and playing at Yankee Stadium won’t help the cause.
Yordan Alvarez is the most likely candidate to take advantage. He owns a .313 ISO and 13.8% barrel rate against Warren’s two most-used pitches vs. lefties, the fastball and changeup.
HOU +1.5 (-155)
The Houston Astros are ninth in SLG and second in HR/FB against righties this season. They hit for power, playing into Will Warren's weaknesses.
The New York Yankees rank 24th in wOBA vs. righties in August, and are unlikely to score enough to separate.
Back Houston +1.5 to -165.

TOR (-130)
While the Royals have won eight straight, the Jays are catching them with the struggling Seth Lugo on the bump tonight. The former ace has allowed five earned runs in three of his last four starts and is in the middle of the worst season of his career, sporting a career-high 5.18 xERA and .280 xBA. He's simply not missing bats, and the Jays are about to take advantage at home.
Vinnie Pasquantino o0.5 Total Home Runs (+600)
Max Scherzer has the worst HR/9 of all MLB starters today since the beginning of last season, and that's saying something with Aaron Nola also getting the ball today. Scherzer enjoyed a good run after coming back from the IL, but just got shellacked for seven runs in his last start. He owns an 8.33 ERA at Rogers Centre this year with nine dingers allowed in 27 innings. All the Royals' bats get a good look today, but Vinnie Pasquantino at +600 was the easy choice. He doesn't have as many homers (2) as Jac Caglianone (5) in August, but his .769 slugging percentage paces the team and ranks third in baseball this month (small sample). He missed 17 games with a wrist injury but has a 1.128 OPS in his seven games back, with two homers and six extra-base hits. There's a lot of meat on this HR bone, with a fair price around +450.

Mookie Betts o0.5 Total Home Runs (+510)
Bryce Elder has been much worse against righties than he has been against lefties, opening the door for Mookie Betts to take him deep tonight at Truist Park with a better number than what we're getting for Max Muncy or Shohei Ohtani.
o8.5 (+100)

u7.5 (-107)
The Under 7.5 is built on pitching and bullpen form. deGrom is locked in after arguably his best start of the season, while Kay has been steady enough to avoid a blowup. Both relief corps have strong recent FIP numbers, and Chicago must solve deGrom to threaten this total tonight overall.
TEX (-116)
Texas has the cleaner edge behind Jacob deGrom, who owns a 0.59 FIP over his last two appearances and a 2.10 mark over the last month. Anthony Kay is pitching well, but the Rangers’ 110 wRC+ against lefties and louder recent contact give them the better run-scoring path tonight.

Bryce Harper o0.5 Total Home Runs (+380)
George Kirby attacks lefties most prominently with a fastball-sweeper combination, and that’s a recipe for disaster against Bryce Harper.
He has absolutely crushed those two pitches this season, posting ISOs of .536 and .875 against right-handed pitching while hitting 15 homers.
Play to +350.
PHI (-105)
George Kirby owns a 5.52 ERA over 11 starts against Top-10 teams in hard hit rate vs. right-handed pitching, and has conceded at least three earned runs in six straight.
The Philadelphia Phillies not only sit sixth in hard hit rate this year, but are red-hot with the second-highest scoring offense in August.
Play to -115.

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.
NYY (-135)
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.

o7.5 (-116)
SF (+124)
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.

Phillies vs Mariners Prediction, Picks & Odds for Today's MLB Game
Phillies vs Mariners 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.
