Total Home Runs
Rafael Devers o0.5 Total Home Runs (+381)
Colby Marchio
Contributor
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.

Total Home Runs
Mookie Betts o0.5 Total Home Runs (+625)
Shawn Krest
Betting Analyst
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.
Earned Runs Allowed
Emmet Sheehan o1.5 Earned Runs Allowed (-150)
Colby Marchio
Contributor
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.

Total Home Runs
Kazuma Okamoto o0.5 Total Home Runs (+325)
Chris Faria
Betting Analyst
Kazuma Okamoto has hit a team-leading eight home runs vs. left-handed pitching – twice as many as anyone else on the Blue Jays.
He’s also hit eight of his 28 dingers vs. the slider, which Jacob Lopez throws more than one-third of the time.
Spread
TOR -1.5 (-115)
Chris Faria
Betting Analyst
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.

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.
