Total Hits
Colt Keith logo
Colt Keith u0.5 Total Hits (+180)
Projection 0.79
Best Odds
Pick made: 3 minutes ago
EV Model Rating
Star rating: 4 out of 5
When starting against a right-handed pitcher this year, Colt Keith has been pinch hit for 49% of the time.. The #5 field in the game for suppressing BABIP to lefties, per the leading projection system (THE BAT), is Comerica Park.. The wind projects to be blowing in from LF at 8.1-mph in this match-up, the most-favorable of the day for mound aces.. Colt Keith hits a lot of his flyballs to center field (38.3% — 82nd percentile) and has the misfortune of hitting them in the direction of MLB's 2nd-deepest CF fences in today's game.. Over the past two weeks, Colt Keith's exit velocity on flyballs has fallen from his seasonal mark of 91.6 mph to 80.1 mph.
Total RBIs
Hunter Goodman logo
Hunter Goodman o0.5 Total RBIs (+160)
Projection 0.63
Best Odds
Pick made: 4 minutes ago
EV Model Rating
Star rating: 3 out of 5
The leading projection system (THE BAT X) ranks Hunter Goodman as Major League Baseball's 12th-best home run batter.. Hunter Goodman is projected to hit 3rd in the batting order in this matchup.. Among all major league parks, Comerica Park has the lowest average fence height.. Built 602 feet above sea level, Comerica Park has the 9th-highest altitude in the league, which usually leads (as a rule of thumb) to more offense.. Hunter Goodman will hold the platoon advantage against Framber Valdez in today's game.

Projection 6.2
Best Odds
Pick made: 8 minutes ago
EV Model Rating
Star rating: 3 out of 5
Nationals Park projects as the #21 park in baseball for strikeouts, via the leading projection system (THE BAT).. Given the 0.57 difference between Cade Cavalli's 10.49 K/9 and his 9.92 estimated true talent K/9 (via the leading projection system, THE BAT), it's safe to say he's been one of the luckiest pitchers in the game this year when it comes to strikeouts and should see negative regression in the future.

Moises Ballesteros u1.5 Total Bases (-225)
Projection 0.79
Best Odds
Pick made: 35 minutes ago
EV Model Rating
Star rating: 3 out of 5
This year, Moises Ballesteros has been replaced by a pinch-hitter in 33% of his appearances when starting against northpaw.. Nationals Park grades out as the #26 stadium in the league for LHB base hits, according to the leading projection system (THE BAT).. Built just 23 feet above sea level, Nationals Park has one of the lowest altitudes among all stadiums, which usually leads (as a rule of thumb) to less offense.. Playing on the road generally weakens hitter stats across the board due to the lack of home field advantage, which should be the case for Moises Ballesteros today.. In the past two weeks, Moises Ballesteros's 3.8% rate of hitting balls at a HR-maximizing launch angle (between 23° and 34°) has taken a nosedive compared to his seasonal rate of 14.2%.

As far as temperature and humidity go, the 2nd-most suitable pitching weather on the schedule is expected for this matchup.. Chris Bassitt's curveball usage has jumped by 5.8% from last season to this one (16.3% to 22.1%) .. Chris Bassitt has had bad variance on his side thus far when it comes to his strikeouts this year, posting a 6.43 K/9 despite the leading projection system (THE BAT) estimating his true talent level to be 7.81 — a 1.38 K/9 disparity.

The leading projection system (THE BAT X) projects Jackson Holliday in the 89th percentile as it relates to his BABIP ability.. Jackson Holliday is penciled in 1st in the lineup in this game, which would be an upgrade from his 63% rate of hitting in the bottom-half of the lineup this year.. The leading projection system (THE BAT) projects Rogers Centre as the 6th-best stadium in the game for LHB home runs.. Jackson Holliday will have the handedness advantage over Max Scherzer today.. Jackson Holliday hits a high percentage of his flyballs to center field (38.4% — 85th percentile) and is a great match for the park considering he'll be hitting towards the league's 10th-shallowest CF fences in today's game.

Publishing Editor

Sonny Gray gives Boston a sizable starting-pitching advantage over Seth Lugo, whose 5.04 ERA makes him difficult to trust against this lineup at Fenway. Gray owns a 2.69 ERA with 17 wins, and Boston has the superior late-inning path. With the moneyline too expensive, I’ll lay the 1.5 runs instead.

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.

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.

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.

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.
