Pete Crow-Armstrong has a great opportunity to go over 1.5 hits, runs and RBIs at a very appealing price. The future NL MVP has gone over this prop 56.25% of the time when owning an elite Batters-Box rating this season, while recording a double 27% of the time and a home run 31.2% of the time. He draws Marlins right-hander Ryan Gusto, who has struggled against left-handed hitters recently. Over his last three games, lefties have posted a near-52% hard-hit rate and 22% barrel rate against Gusto. Crow-Armstrong has also posted a .667 SLG and .378 ISO over his last 10 games.

Nico Hoerner is projected to bat 6th on the lineup card in this game.. The wind projects to be blowing in from RF at 15-mph in this contest, the 3rd-best of the day for pitchers.. Ryan Gusto will have the handedness advantage against Nico Hoerner today.. Nico Hoerner has a 92nd percentile opposite-field rate on his flyballs (35.8%) and has the misfortune of hitting them towards baseball's 5th-deepest RF fences in today's matchup.. This year, Nico Hoerner's 1.4% Barrel%, an advanced metric for measuring power, places him in the 2nd percentile among his peers.

Betting Analyst

Let's start things off with a mispriced Juan Soto bomb at 5.1x, where the fair value is closer to 3.5x. The Rangers are likely to start Cody Bradford, who was demoted to a bulk-relief role after giving up 11 runs in three starts and 11-plus innings. The Rangers are desperate, sitting three games out of the Wild Card spot, and pushing that bullpen, combined with this pressure, is a good spot for Soto, who has seven hits over his last 19 plate appearances. The value is coming from the lefty-vs-lefty matchup, but Bradford's leash is not long. Sixty-five pitches could be in the cards, and maybe even fewer if he stumbles. It's an indoor game with the thermostat falling quickly.

As it relates to his overall offensive ability, Francisco Lindor ranks in the 95th percentile according to the leading projections (THE BAT X).. Francisco Lindor is projected to bat 1st in the lineup today.. On average, the fence height at Globe Life Field is the 7th-lowest among all major league baseball stadiums.. The switch-hitting Francisco Lindor will have the advantage of batting from from his strong side (0) today against Cody Bradford.. Francisco Lindor has been hot in recent games, bashing 4 homers in the last two weeks' worth of games.

Josh Inglis
Betting Analyst

Here is another 5.1x home run that should have a fair value of 3.5x at Coors Field against the worst HR/9 pitcher on the slate. Carroll has been demoted to the fifth spot in the lineup due to a September slump, but he still has three dingers and an .826 OPS over his last 10 games. If that's a slump, I'm buying the dip. The wind is blowing out to his pull side, and a matchup against Mason Adams is a great thing at this price. Adams has allowed a homer in each of his five starts and has given up six homers in 23 innings, with a 3.0 HR/9 and 9.00 ERA at Coors. I would love three plate appearances against Mason, who lefties are hitting .341 against.

Projection 1.5

Pick made: 3 minutes ago
EV Model Rating
Star rating: 3 out of 5
The leading projection system (THE BAT) projects Coors Field as the best ballpark in baseball for run-scoring.. Built 5197 feet above sea level, Coors Field has the highest altitude in the majors, which usually leads (as a rule of thumb) to higher offensive output.. This contest is expected to have the 33rd-most favorable conditions for pitching among all the games scheduled today.. Ezequiel Tovar will possess the home field advantage in today's matchup, which ought to improve all of his stats.. Ezequiel Tovar has been unlucky this year, posting a .262 wOBA despite the leading projection system (THE BAT X) estimating his true talent level to be .292 — a .030 disparity.

It is very tough to see it being a Yoshinobu Yamamoto Day and want to back the San Diego Padres in this spot. The Padres are sending out left-hander Robbie Ray, who owns an 8.78 ERA, 5.43 xERA and 1.65 WHIP over his last three starts. Meanwhile, the Los Angeles Dodgers’ bats are gearing up for October, posting a 170 wRC+, .411 wOBA and .943 OPS over their last six games. With Yamamoto always being lights-out when he takes the mound, I’m having a tough time fading the Monstars of L.A. and will back the Dodgers to roll.

Fully expecting the Dodgers’ offense to carry the run production in this matchup. Robbie Ray has struggled in his last few starts, and now he gets a Dodgers lineup that is heating up as October approaches. That’s a tough spot for the veteran lefty. The Padres have been swinging a hot bat, posting a 174 wRC+, .967 OPS and .259 ISO over their last six games. However, when it’s Yoshinobu Yamamoto day, I’m not putting much stock into San Diego’s recent offensive success. I’ll gladly take whatever the Padres can give us, but I expect Los Angeles to carry the load.

Alvarez sports a third-ranked .311 ISO against right-handed pitchers among qualified hitters and has already homered off Seattle starter George Kirby earlier this season. Additionally, Kirby has allowed a massive 43.2% squared-up contact rate and 18.6% blast-contact rate to left-handed hitters during an active seven-start slump.

This Over 7.5 is in play to -115 because Seattle starter George Kirby sports a confidence-shattering 5.32 xERA and 4.37 xFIP over his past seven starts, and Seattle faces an overworked Houston bullpen. The Astros have relied on relievers for 18 1/3 innings across the past four games, and they sport a concerning 4.41 xERA and 5.05 xFIP during the busy stretch.

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.
