Money Line Pick

Two AL East rivals will kickoff a series here as the Tampa Bay Rays host the Boston Red Sox. Both these teams are fighting for wild card positioning, so this should be a good series. Boston just shockingly lost two of three to Baltimore, so they could especially use a win here. They’ll start Eduardo Rodriguez, while Jalen Beeks will take the mound for the Rays. Beeks usually only pitches a few innings although this is his first start of the season, so it’s unclear how deep they’re going to let him go. The Red Sox always seem to play well when Rodriguez pitches, and they’re 6-1 in his last seven starts, as well as 18-4 in his last 22 road outings. The Rays have slumped a bit over the past week, going just 1-5 in their last six games. Beeks has only made one start in his big league career, so I’m not sure how well he’ll fare against this Boston lineup. Take the Red Sox at nearly even money.

Over Under Pick

I also like the over a lot here. This Boston lineup has really been producing lately, and the over is 13-6 in their last 19 games. In seven of their past 16 games, they’ve scored at least eight runs, so they could easily clear nine by themselves. Rodriguez doesn’t pitch nearly as well on the road, and the over is an incredible 11-1 in his last 12 road starts. Rodriguez has made two starts against the Rays this year, and neither of them went well. Across those two outings, he has a 5.73 ERA. This one should be pretty high scoring.

Money Line Pick

Pittsburgh will open up this NL Central rivalry with Trevor Williams on the mound to oppose St. Louis’ Daniel Ponce de Leon. Williams has had a rough start to July where he owns a 10.64 ERA to go with a slash line of .400/.466/.700. On the season he owns a 5.17 ERA and 4.49 FIP. Ponce de Leon has been superb for St. Louis posting a 10.44 K/9 and 3.31 BB/9, while he’s kept his ERA low as it sits at 2.80. That is a shiny ERA, but his 3.93 FIP has been more representative of how he’s been performing. Williams is dealing with some bad luck this season owning a .318 BABIP, while Ponce de Leon owns a very fortunate .234 BABIP. I’m rolling with the luckier pitcher and better bullpen here and backing St. Louis on the road.

Over Under Pick

The under has been trending for both these squads where it has hit in 5 of Pittsburgh’s last 6 games, and 8 of St. Louis’ last 11 games. In their last 10 meetings, Pittsburgh has averaged 3.90 R/G and St. Louis has been averaging 5.30 R/G, while both these squads are combining to average 16 H/G and K/G. Williams really isn’t as bad as he has been pitching, while Ponce de Leon has been pitching well, has good luck, and is getting solid defense behind him. I’m rolling with the trends here and backing this total to stay under the run threshold.

Washington will be opening up this series with Erick Fedde on the mound to oppose Colorado’s Peter Lambert. Lamberts MLB career has gotten off to a rough start as he owns a 6.06 ERA and 5.97 FIP, while he’s been experiencing normal luck with a .296 BABIP. Fedde does own a shiny 3.50 ERA, but he’s been experiencing fortunate luck owning a .259 BABIP. His 5.23 FIP has been more representative of how Fedde has been pitching. Fedde owns a 4.24 ERA at home, while lefties own a 1.012 OPS against him. Colorado can fill that lineup with lefties. Lambert has been better outside of Coors where he owns a 3.00 ERA with a .667 OPS. I I don’t really trust either pitcher, but lefties have been tearing Fedde up at home so I’m rolling with Colorado and the money line.

Over Under Pick

The over has hit in 6 of their last 10 contests where Washington has averaged 4.30 R/G and Colorado has averaged 5.30 R/G. During that span these squads have combined to average 16 H/G and 17 K/G. The under has hit in 10 of Washington’s last 11 games, while the over has hit in 6 of Colorado’s last 9 games. I really don’t trust these pitchers so I’ll be backing the total to go over the run threshold.

Money Line Pick

The Cleveland Indians are entering this series with the Toronto Blue Jays hot. They’ve won seven of their last eight games, and will look to keep the momentum going with Mike Clevinger on the mound here. They’ve really been picking up steam and are gaining ground rapidly on the Twins in the AL Central, going 23-8 over their last 31 games. The Indians have even gotten it done away from home, as they’re 6-0 in their last six road games. The Blue Jays on the other hand have been struggling recently, and they’ll turn to Ryan Borucki for his first start of the season to try and get things turned around. Borucki has been out all year with an elbow injury, and only has a few minor league rehab starts under his belt. Borucki should definitely be rusty here, and the Blue Jays are just 1-5 in his last six starts anyway. I’m laying it with the Indians here.

Over Under Pick

The over also makes a lot of sense here. Borucki hasn’t pitched in the majors since last season, and there’s no way he’s that sharp here. He only started 17 games last year in his rookie season, and he had a high 1.32 WHIP. The Indians’ offense has been on fire recently, as they’ve scored 44 runs over their last seven games. They’ll get to Borucki easily, and I can see them putting up nine runs by themselves. Clevinger has only made seven starts this season due to an injury of his own, and the Indians aren’t letting him pitch particularly deep into games. Both teams should have some success offensively.

Money Line Pick

Two AL West teams that are both hot at the moment will square off here as the Oakland Athletics visit the Houston Astros. Gerrit Cole will start for the Astros, while the newly acquired Homer Bailey takes the mound for Oakland. Simply put, Cole has been brilliant recently. In ten of his last 11 starts, Cole has given up two or fewer earned runs. He’s been even better at home, and unsurprisingly the Astros are 22-5 in Cole’s last 27 home starts. The Astros have won five straight games, and they’ve also won each of the last four times they’ve hosted Oakland. Cole has a good history against his division rival, and Houston is 5-1 in his last six starts against the A’s. Oakland has been playing well recently, but there’s no way you can take them here. With Bailey on the mound the Astros should win by multiple runs, so the run line is a safe play.

Over Under Pick

I also like the over a lot in this spot. Bailey actually had a pretty solid first start with the A’s, but he isn’t going to make it two in a row here. He had a 4.80 ERA in 18 starts with the Royals this year before being traded, and he had a 6.09 ERA with the Reds last year. Houston has one of the best lineups in the league, and they’ve scored 67 runs in their past ten games. I expect another dominant performance from this offense, and they should light up Bailey. Oakland’s lineup isn’t anything to sleep on either, and they should be able to get at least a few runs here. If they do, this one will easily clear the total.

Winners of five of their last six games, the Milwaukee Brewers are not about to let the Cubs run away with the National League Central. Milwaukee just took three of four at Arizona and now goes home to entertain the Reds and Cubs this week. Cincinnati finds itself nine games off the division pace after dropping each of its last four series’. Milwaukee rookie second baseman Keston Hiura has multiple hits in eight of his last 10 contests, and at least one hit in 17 of his last 19, batting .392 during this stretch. The Reds are 1-5 in their last six overall, 2-8 in their last 10 on the road, 1-5 in their last six against right-handed starters, 1-5 in their last six against opponents with winning records, and 2-5 in right-hander Sonny Gray’s last seven starts on four days of rest. Milwaukee is 4-1 in its last five after scoring at least five runs in its previous outing. A slight edge goes to the BREWERS here as the Reds just can’t get it together.

Over Under Pick

Gray is enjoying one of the best four-game stretches of his career (2-1, 1.65 ERA, and 35 strikeouts over 27.1 innings). Milwaukee right-hander Chase Anderson is 5-3 with a 3.80 ERA in 13 career starts against Cincinnati. Three of the five shutouts the Brewers have suffered this season have come against the Reds. The under is 42-16-1 in the Reds’ last 59 on the road and 4-0 in Gray’s last four starts. It is also 5-2-1 in the Brewers’ last eight at home against opponents with losing records. Additionally, the under is 12-5 in the last 17 meetings between the two teams and 3-1-1 in Anderson’s last five starts against Cincinnati. Roll with the UNDER.

The New York Yankees are running away with the American League East and they are the best team in the AL–yes, better than even the Minnesota Twins. Minnesota was the cream of the crop for much of the first half of this season, but they’ve cooled off as of late. The Yankees are still going strong to the tune of a 5-1 record in their last six contests. D.J. LeMahieu contributed a solo home run in Sunday’s 8-4 loss to Colorado to extend his hitting streak to eight games, during which he is 12-for-35 with two homers, four RBIs, and six runs scored. Aaron Hicks also went deep and has now hit safely in 17 of his last 21 games. New York is 56-24 in its last 80 overall, 7-3 in its last 10 on the road, 8-3 in its last 11 against left-handed starters, and 27-10 in its last 37 at Minnesota. The Twins are 2-5 in their last seven overall, 2-5 in their last seven at home, and 20-58 in the last 78 meetings between the two teams. Look for the YANKEES to stay hot.

Over Under Pick

New York left-hander C.C. Sabathia has been solid in recent weeks and sports a 20-9 record with a 3.09 ERA in 39 career starts against Minnesota. Yankees catcher Gary Sanchez is just 3-for-23 with six strikeouts in his past six contests. The under is 8-3-1 in the Yankees’ last 12 overall, 3-0-1 in their last four against left-handed starters, and 6-2-1 in Sabathia’s last nine starts against the American League Central. It is also 8-2 in the Twins’ last 10 overall, 5-2 in their last seven at home, and 4-0 in their last four after scoring at least five runs in their previous outing. Take the UNDER.

Run Line Pick

The Diamondbacks send out Robbie Ray to the mound, which means they are a really safe play, especially against the Orioles. On the season he has an 8-6 with an ERA under four. As of late he has been getting better and in two of his last three games he has given up only one run. The Orioles only have 31 wins on the season and I don’t see any way they keep this game close. Baltimore is just 4-9 in the last 13 meetings between these teams, and 0-5 in the last 5 meetings in Arizona. Back the Dbacks to get the job done.

Over Under Pick

This total is going to come down to how many runs the D-Backs can score because the Orioles will be lucky to get even two or three. Even though the Dbacks are going to score, I don’t think they are going to score enough to get to the total.  The under is 4-1-1 in the Diamondbacks’ last 6 interleague home games, and 4-1-1 in the Orioles’ last 6 interleague games. Ray should completely shutdown this pathetic Baltimore lineup.

Money Line Pick

I don’t love this play because Alec Mills doesn’t have a ton of experience for the Cubs, but Shaun Anderson has really struggled as of late for the Giants. In each of his last three games he has gone five innings or less and given up at least four runs. Both of these teams are hot, but I can’t back Anderson. The Giants are  just 12-30 in their last 42 games vs. a starter with a WHIP less than 1.15. Back the Cubs to get the job and although this isn’t the strongest play on the board, I am still pretty confident in this pick.

Over Under Pick

This isn’t a total I would touch and I would advise you to only bet the money line in this game. This is in San Francisco at night and when these two teams face-off, it’s usually a low scoring game. The under is also 5-2 in the last 7 meetings between these teams. Back the under as a slight lean. This really isn’t a one-star play, rather more of a 0.5 star play.

The Texas Rangers will send out Adrian Sampson to the mound, and that is what will cost them in this game. On the road this year Sampson has been terrible, going 1-4 with an ERA of 7.64. Marco Gonzales hasn’t been great this year but he has been better and you don’t have to lay a big number with the Mariners in this one. The Rangers are just 1-4 in Sampson’s last 5 starts, and 0-8 in his last 8 road starts. Back the Mariners to get the job done.

Over Under Pick

Sampson has been terrible and Gonzales has an ERA over five in his last three starts. I expect this will be a game where both offenses score a ton of runs. The over is 6-1 in Gonzales’ last 7 starts during game 1 of a series, 5-2 in Gonzales’ last 7 starts with 5 days of rest, and 5-1-1 in the last 7 meetings between these division rivals in Seattle. Back the over.

Free MLB Picks and Expert MLB Predictions For Today’s Games

The biggest theme of MLB betting is ‘opportunity.’ That’s because teams play 162 games a year and on any given day from April to October there are up to 15 games to wager on. This means if your MLB predictions get hot, you can really build up your bankroll quickly. It also means that if you have a not-so-great day at the sportsbook window, you can get right back on the horse the next day whereas in the NFL you have to wait nearly a week to get back into your baseball picks.

What Free MLB Expert Picks Do You Offer At Pickswise?

There are 2,430 total games in the MLB regular season and our expert MLB picks provide insight and analysis into every game, if you’re looking for the best MLB bets today we have you covered.

Do You Have Any MLB Picks Today?

We offer our MLB expert picks throughout the 6-month MLB season with great success. Some of our MLB predictions will be marquee matchups while others are under-the-radar plays with tremendous value. Pitching matchups, weather, injuries, travel schedule and many other factors are all taken into account to find the best daily MLB betting tips.

How Do I Know What Are Your MLB Best Bets For today?

Our confidence rating indicates how confident we are in our MLB predictions. The rating system runs from one to three and the more stars, the more confidence in the play.

Free MLB Picks Moneyline

The most popular way to bet on the MLB is via the Moneyline. This means games are basically handicapped based on each of the team’s starting pitcher. “Sure thing” pitchers such as Jacob deGrom, Max Scherzer, and Clayton Kershaw are going to cost you, often requiring a $200 or more wager to make $100 (-200). Finding an even pitching matchup or one of those stud pitchers that may be fatigued or injured and going against them is the best way to make money in MLB betting. Our free MLB expert picks help you identify these profitable matchups for every game of the baseball season.

Free MLB Picks Against The Spread

The spread in baseball is known as ‘the run line’. Many bettors feel there isn’t as much value laying -200 on an all-star caliber pitcher because that hurler can turn the game over to his bullpen who will subsequently blow the game and cost them the win. Therefore betting on the run line (-1.5 or +1.5) is a great way to find better MLB prices compare to the Moneyline. A Clayton Kershaw pick on the ML (win outright) for example might be -240 but betting that same game to win by 2 runs or more (run line) could be priced at -120. MLB runline betting works in the opposite way too. There are a lot of 1-run games in baseball and betting on a team +1.5 runs is a great way to string together wagering wins if you think teams can keep games close.

Free MLB Picks Totals

There’s no other sport where the stadiums and the weather are so crucial to the scoring as the MLB. This is why our free MLB picks on the totals see almost as much wagering from the public as the sides of a game.

The dimensions of the MLB parks are also different and need to be factored in when making your MLB predictions. Coors Field for example is located in the high altitude of Denver, Colorado which means it’s not unlikely to see scores similar to 11-8 three or four times a week. Minute Maid Park in Houston for example has a left field wall that is just 315 feet from home plate compared to AT&T Park in San Francisco that has a right-center field alley of 421 feet.

Weather is a major factor when picking our your MLB predictions today. The ball travels better on 92 degree Summer days in Arlington, Texas or when the wind is blowing out to left field at 23 MPH at Wrigley Field in Chicago.  So before you head to the window make sure your check the weather report to give your ticket the best chance of cashing.

Alternate Free MLB Expert Picks

There are numerous ways to have success betting on the MLB. For example, if you are confident in a team’s starting pitching but have reservations on their bullpen and relievers, sportsbooks offer first 5 inning lines. Also if you are really confident in a particular matchup you can bet on alternate runlines or taking a team to win by -2.5 or even -3.5 runs with increasing payouts. Another fun way to essentially bet on all MLB games of the day at once is with a grand salami wager. This ante has you wagering whether all of the combined games of the day go ‘over’ or ‘under’ a set amount of runs. There’s plenty of fun to be had on a daily basis with our MLB predictions.

MLB Playoff Predictions

In addition to free daily MLB picks, we also provide insight into MLB postseason betting. From wild card ‘play-in’ matchups to Game 7 of the World Series, there’s nothing quite like the excitement of October baseball. In the MLB postseason Pitching rotations are shortened in the playoffs and home field becomes an even bigger advantage but it’s important to make sure the lines reflect that. Our experts analyse every playoff game and give you their expert MLB predictions to help you make the best selections in October and finish off the season in profit.
