EV Model Rating
Star rating: 4 out of 5
According to the leading projection system (THE BAT X), Juan Soto ranks as the 3rd-best batter in the game.. Juan Soto is projected to hit 2nd in the lineup in this matchup.. Juan Soto will receive the benefit of the platoon advantage against Eury Perez in today's game.. Juan Soto hits many of his flyballs to center field (39.6% — 95th percentile) and sets up very well considering he'll be hitting out towards MLB's 6th-shallowest CF fences today.. In the past 7 days, Juan Soto's Barrel% has experienced a surge, jumping from his seasonal rate of 14.8% up to 30%.

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 on the lineup card today.. Francisco Lindor has seen a big gain in his exit velocity in recent games; just compare his 94.3-mph average in the past week's worth of games to his seasonal 90.9-mph figure.. Despite posting a .326 wOBA this year, the leading projection system (THE BAT X) believes Francisco Lindor has experienced some negative variance given the .019 discrepancy between that mark and his estimated true talent wOBA of .345.. Francisco Lindor has recorded a .345 Expected wOBA (xwOBA) since the start of last season, placing in the 80th percentile for offensive ability according to the leading projection system (THE BAT X)'s interpretation of Statcast data.

Jo Adell finds himself in an enticing matchup against Orioles southpaw Trevor Rogers. The Guardians slugger has crushed left-handed pitching recently, posting a .560 SLG, .280 ISO, 47% hard-hit rate and nearly 12% barrel rate over his last 30 at-bats. Rogers has struggled against right-handed hitters, allowing 1.80 HR/9 with a 35% ground-ball rate, while those hitters have posted a .363 xBA and .596 xSLG. Adell is the highest-rated Guardian in both Batters-Box datasets, covering more than 67% of Rogers' arsenal. He also goes over this prop nearly 54% of the time and has cashed 57.14% of 21 elite road ratings.

Coby Mayo destroys left-handed pitching. He is sporting a .412 ISO and 22.6% barrel rate on the season, which is almost unfathomable.

Fastballs, curveballs, and changeups account for well over 90% of Joey Cantillo’s pitches against righties. Mayo hits them all for power, posting ISOs of .429, .727, and .367 respectively.

The Diamondbacks are 28th in wOBA and 30th in xwOBA over the past two weeks, so with the Royals respectively checking in ninth and eighth in the two metrics, I’m expecting Kansas City to pull away. Royals lefty Noah Cameron has also settled in down the stretch with a high-end 2.34 xERA and 2.82 xFIP across his past seven starts, while the Diamondbacks counter with inexperienced righty Jose Cabrera (4.84 xERA and 5.00 xFIP).

The leading projection system (THE BAT X) projects John Rave in the 18th percentile as it relates to his batting average talent.. John Rave is projected to hit 7th in the lineup in today's game.. When starting against a righty hurler this year, John Rave has been lifted for a pinch-hitter 18% of the time.. In today's matchup, John Rave is at a disadvantage facing the league's deepest RF fences given that he hits his flyballs to the pull field at a 35.2% rate (83rd percentile).. John Rave's ability to hit the ball at a HR-optimizing launch angle (between 23° and 34°) has fallen off lately, going from 15.4% on the season to 5% over the past 14 days.

Before a 2-1 snoozer in the series finale Sept. 3, the Cubs and Brewers combined for 47 runs across the first three games, including 13 in the tilt Boyd and Gasser started. Chicago paces the majors in wOBA, xwOBA and ISO across the past two weeks, in addition to leading the way in wOBA against lefties for the season, while Milwaukee checks in with respective ranks of fourth, ninth, 16th and 14th.

Maxwell Clark is projected to hit 8th on the lineup card in this matchup.. Comerica Park grades out as the #23 venue in baseball for left-handed BABIP, via the leading projection system (THE BAT)..

Maxwell Clark has an 85th percentile opposite-field rate on his flyballs (34.7%) but may find it hard to clear baseball's 5th-deepest LF fences in today's matchup.. Maxwell Clark's exit velocity on flyballs has decreased in recent games; his 87.9-mph seasonal figure has fallen off to 72.5-mph in the last week.

Jackson Merrill may look ice-cold at the plate, but his underlying metrics suggest a breakout could be coming. The San Diego Padres young star draws a favorable matchup against Washington Nationals right-hander Jake Irvin, who has struggled badly against left-handed hitters. Over his last 10 games, Merrill owns a .750 xSLG while generating a near-70% hard-hit rate and a near-20% barrel rate. Meanwhile, Irvin has allowed 3.00 HR/9 with a 22.2% ground-ball rate against his last 60 left-handed hitters. Those hitters have also posted a .324 xBA and .475 xSLG. Merrill is worth backing tonight.

EV Model Rating
Star rating: 4 out of 5
Nick Pivetta projects as the 20th-best pitcher in the majors right now when it comes to his strikeout skill, according to the leading projection system (THE BAT).. Built just 14 feet above sea level, Petco Park has one of the lowest altitudes in the majors, which generally leads to lower offensive output.. The wind projects to be blowing in from LF at 11.5-mph in this game, the strongest of the day for hurlers.. Because of his reverse platoon split, Nick Pivetta figures to be at an advantage matching up with 6 bats in the projected offense of opposing handedness today.. Nick Pivetta will possess the home field advantage in today's game, which should boost all of his metrics across the board.

Rafael Devers is in another excellent spot to leave the yard tonight against Cardinals right-hander Michael McGreevy. Devers owns one of the highest matchup ratings on Batters-Box, covering more than 87% of McGreevy’s pitch mix. The last 30 left-handed hitters McGreevy has faced are generating a 13% barrel rate and 30.4% ground-ball rate while posting a .282 xBA and .473 SLG. Devers has also been crushing the ball lately, maintaining a .923 SLG and .538 ISO with a near-70% hard-hit rate and 27% barrel rate over his last 10 games. This is one of my favorite long-ball looks tonight.

Rafael Devers is getting another look after falling short on his hits, runs and RBI prop Sunday, though he did smoke a single at over 107 mph. The San Francisco Giants slugger owns the second-highest matchup rating on the day, covering over 87% of Michael McGreevy's pitch mix. The last 30 left-handed hitters McGreevy has faced are generating a 13% barrel rate and 30.4% ground-ball rate while posting a .282 xBA and .473 SLG.

Betts has five hits in the last 13 at bats and went deep on Sunday. He’s also L.A.’s second-best hitter against the slider. His .273 average and .444 slugging against breaking pitches this season are better than his performance against fastballs (.246/.442) and offspeed (.200/.291). He has a double and two hits in three plate appearances against Burns in his career.

The Cincinnati Reds have been one of baseball’s hottest offenses lately, making their first-five team total worth a look Monday. Cincinnati is averaging 2.51 runs through the first five innings this season and has been especially productive over its last six games, posting a 132 wRC+, .366 wOBA and .833 OPS. Meanwhile, Dodgers right-hander Emmet Sheehan has struggled over his last three outings, posting an 8.31 ERA and allowing a 15% barrel rate. He also enters Monday with the sixth-worst pitcher rating, per Batters-Box. With Cincinnati’s offense rolling, asking the Reds to score two runs through five innings feels like a reasonable price.

Dylan Cease leads MLB starters in ERA (1.36) since July 1, and his slider will be a particularly tough pitch for the Athletics to handle.

The Athletics have the worst bullpen in baseball, which is where the Blue Jays can do their damage offensively.

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.
