Betting Analyst

Jake Bauers looks good to hit a home run today. Singer’s sinker-heavy approach surrenders a vulnerable 42.6% hard-hit rate and a .342 xwOBA, while Bauers crushes right-handed pitching with elite power metrics. He leads Milwaukee with a 13.4% barrel rate, a massive 53.1% hard-hit rate, and a .469 xSLG. In Great American Ball Park’s short porch, expect Bauers to launch Singer’s sinker over the right-field wall.

The Over is the right look. While Kyle Harrison suppresses contact early, both bullpens enter this game primed to bleed late runs. Over the last 14 days, Cincinnati’s relief corps has been hammered for a 5.76 ERA, 1.43 WHIP, and 1.39 HR/9. Meanwhile, Milwaukee’s 2.68 bullpen ERA is living on borrowed time against an ugly 4.62 FIP, 4.40 xFIP, and 1.34 HR/9. In a launch pad like Great American Ball Park, expect both pens to cough up late traffic and push this past 8.5.

The leading projection system (THE BAT X) projects Josh Lowe in the 76th percentile when it comes to his BABIP ability.. PNC Park projects as the #3 field in the game for LHB BABIP, via the leading projection system (THE BAT).. PNC Park sits at the 6th-highest altitude in the majors.

Francisco Alvarez has strong power (91st percentile) if he makes contact, but that's usually a big "IF" (27.6% K%). Today, however, opposing pitcher Cesar Perdomo doesn't generate many whiffs (19th percentile K%) — great news for Alvarez.. Francisco Alvarez hits a lot of his flyballs to center field (38.3% — 82nd percentile) and sets up very well considering he'll be hitting out towards the league's shallowest CF fences today.. Home field advantage generally bolsters batter metrics in all categories, and Francisco Alvarez will hold that advantage in today's game.

Jorge Mateo is projected to bat 7th on the lineup card in this game.. The Globe Life Field roof projects to be closed today, making the temperature in this contest -9° colder than the average outdoor game of all games on the slate today — favorable for pitching.. In today's game, Jorge Mateo is at a disadvantage facing the league's 6th-deepest CF center field fences given that he hits his flyballs towards center field at a 38.8% rate (89th percentile).. The Texas Rangers outfield defense profiles as the 3rd-best out of all the teams playing today.. Playing on the road generally diminishes hitter stats in all categories due to the lack of home field advantage, which should be the case for Jorge Mateo in today's matchup.

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.
