Total Home Runs
Gary Sanchez o0.5 Total Home Runs (+500)
Todd Cordell
Betting Analyst
Chris Sale attacks right-handed bats with a steady dose of fastballs, and that’s good news for lefty-masher Gary Sanchez.
He has gone nuclear against four-seamers thrown by southpaws, barreling up more than 22% of the time while posting a .684 ISO.
I'd bet this to +480
Total
o6.0 (-110)
Todd Cordell
Betting Analyst
Chris Sale is exceptional but he has averaged 5.5 innings of work over his last 10 starts, and Milwaukee’s patience at the plate should chase him in six innings or less.
That’d afford plenty of opportunity to scratch together runs against a bullpen sitting 25th in xFIP the last month.
Jacob Misiorowski is not immune to power, allowing multiple homers in three of the last seven starts.
I’d play the Over to -122.

Wilyer Abreu ranks in the 95th percentile or higher in xwOBA, xSLG, ISO, and hard hit rate against right-handed pitching over the last 30 days.

Fifteen of the 20 homers Perlta has allowed have came against left-handed hitters across 83 innings, who have posted a .270/.332/.477 line, and he has surrendered a 19.2% pull-air rate. Gunnar Henderson is Baltimore's primary left-handed power bat, and Camden Yards is where Peralta's fastball problem gets punished, a that Gunnar has led the O's in hard-hit rate against. Play to +330.

I don't see a huge edge here but make this playable to -110 with two suspect arms.
We've talked about Tampa Bay Rays arm Peralta already but it's worth mention another aspect: his fastball. The O's hit it at a Top 10 rate according to virtually any metic and he throws it 53.5% of the time and yielding a .471 slugging percentage with a 50.2% hard-hit rate. Yet again another blinking signal to perhaps multiple homer from the Baltimore bats. On the other side, the Rays own the best contact rate in MLB at 78.9% and the lowest strikeout rate at 18.7%, and Trevor Rogers cannot punish that, grading in the 33rd percentile in strikeout rate and the 34th percentile in whiff rate.

The numbers strongly favor Arizona to win comfortably tonight.

Eduardo Rodriguez also owns an ERA nearly two runs lower than Nick Lodolo, who has led the Reds to a 4-10 record in his starts.

Betting Analyst
The Dodgers have cashed the Under in four consecutive Yoshinobu Yamamoto starts, and his splitter should work optimally in his matchup (Pittsburgh is 23rd in runs above average per 100 splitters seen). Bubba Chandler, meanwhile, has even better numbers than Yamamoto in their last six respective outings. Both bullpens rank in the top 10 in FIP over the last 14 days (L.A. 3.37, Pittsburgh 3.53) and are refreshed after Thursday's off day, so run suppression is a likely outcome of tonight's ballgame.
Bubba Chandler has allowed no more than three earned runs in any of his last six starts while turning in a 2.56 ERA, 2.39 FIP, and 2.3% barrel rate. The market is underpricing him against a slumping L.A. lineup (91 wRC+ in the last 14 days; Pittsburgh 104).

Betting Analyst
Matthew Boyd has been struggling of late, serving up four home runs and seven earned runs in his last outing. But that poor performance may be exactly why we're catching an edge in the market for his next start, and I think the ballpark sets up well for him to bounce back. Boyd is known as a fly-ball pitcher, which makes him more vulnerable depending on the ballpark and weather conditions. A start at T-Mobile Park, where the marine layer can limit the carry on fly balls, is ideal for his pitching profile. Boyd's numbers haven't been great this season, but many of his poor outings have come at Wrigley Field. On the road, he's sporting a 2.57 ERA with just two home runs allowed, compared to 11 home runs allowed at Wrigley. The Cubs are trading at 51 cents on Polymarket, but I make them closer to a 54-cent favorite.

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.

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.
