Earned Runs Allowed
Sonny Gray u2.5 Earned Runs Allowed (-166)
Colby Marchio
Contributor
Sonny Gray finds himself in another favorable spot against a Toronto Blue Jays offense that has been among the most underwhelming in baseball. Over their last 21 games, Toronto owns a 79 wRC+, .282 wOBA, .106 ISO and just a 4% barrel rate. The Blue Jays also have zero hitters carrying an elite or strong rating on Batters-Box, while Gray owns the second-highest pitcher rating. His historical trends are also encouraging, staying under this prop 63.64% of the time in 22 strong ratings. The price is steep, but Gray remains playable at -170 or better.
Earned Runs Allowed
Jameson Taillon o2.5 Earned Runs Allowed (-113)
Colby Marchio
Contributor
The Boston Red Sox continue to be one of the hottest offenses in baseball, and today's matchup gives them another opportunity to keep rolling. Toronto right hander Jameson Taillon has struggled over his last five starts, posting a 7.78 ERA, 6.65 xERA and 1.73 WHIP while allowing significant hard contact. His Batters-Box profile also presents a poor matchup against Boston, with four elite-rated bats and another carrying a strong rating. Meanwhile, the Red Sox have posted a 120 wRC+, .348 wOBA and .790 OPS over their last 21 games. At -120 or better, Boston is worth backing.

Betting Analyst
Carson Benge brings real home run appeal at plus money, batting .409 over his last five games with two homers, a .364 ISO, and an 11.1% barrel rate. Elder has allowed 1.50 HR/9 lately, while Atlanta’s bullpen is giving up fly balls and home runs quite frequently lately.

Quinn Allen
Betting Analyst
The Under 8.5 fits because Scott can limit Atlanta, and Elder has not fully unraveled despite recent hard contact. New York’s bullpen owns a 3.90 xERA over the last week with minimal homer damage, while Atlanta’s relief corps is vulnerable but not in complete collapse, creating a lower-scoring path tonight.

Betting Analyst
The Baltimore Orioles are taking on Dean Kremer in a revenge spot after trading him to the Minnesota Twins on July 31, but let's be honest—the revenge angle doesn't scare me. If anything, Orioles hitters should have an extensive scouting report on Kremer and know his arsenal well. That arsenal includes heavy reliance on his four-seam fastball, a pitch carrying a -2 run value this season. Leaning on a mediocre fastball is a problem against this Orioles lineup, especially with Gunnar Henderson and Pete Alonso, two of the biggest bats at the top of the order, both excellent fastball hitters. The Orioles are trading as a 53-cent favorite on Polymarket, and I price them closer to 55 cents. It's not a massive edge, but an edge is an edge, and that's all we need.

Burleson has hit 16 of his 19 homers against right-handed pitchers while sporting a monster .240 ISO and .414 wOBA. This is also a favorable pitching matchup. Phillies righty Andrew Painter sports a 5.13 xERA and his 1.8 HR/9 is the 13th-highest mark among pitchers with at least 70 innings pitched. Excellent hitting conditions are in the forecast tonight at Busch Stadium, too.

This Over is my favorite bet for this game because Cardinals righty Hunter Dobbins has only made five starts this season, and the Phillies are third in xwOBA with an average of 4.72 runs per game since the All-Star Break. St. Louis is also set for statistical correction at the dish. Despite ranking seventh in hard-hit percentage and third in both squared-up contact and blast-contact rates across the past 30 days, the Cards sit 23rd in BABIP, and they have a soft pitching matchup with Phillies righty Andrew Painter sporting a 5.13 xERA. Favorable hitting conditions are forecast at Busch Stadium tonight, too.

Shohei Ohtani's is even better at home (168 wRC+ and .297 ISO) and carries his power regardless of platoon split (11 home runs against left-handed pitchers).

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.

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.
