MLB Picks

A short eight game slate with no day games and a bunch of great pitching matchups kicks off at 6:40PM ET with the St. Louis Cardinals vs. Cincinnati Reds. Get our Stl/Cin prediction here!

Cubs pitcher Javier Assad gave up no runs in four innings in his first start, but don’t let that fool you! He gave up four hits and had four walks for a fat WHIP of 2.00! This guy has been in the minors since 2016 and hadn’t been promoted above AA ball until this year. He’ll face the Blue Jays and Jose Berrios, who has looked good in his last two appearances but has been inconsistent all season. Get our ChC/Tor pick here!

Frankie Montas has run hot and cold since being traded to the New York Yankees. Angels starter Jose Suarez his pitched very similarly, however, he’s allowed no earned runs in three of his last five starts, making the Angels a live-barking-dog in Monday MLB action!

Sunday Night Baseball on ESPN features a classic showdown between the Atlanta Braves and St. Louis Cardinals. Neither team will be featuring their best arms (Odorizzi/Wainright), but the game will likely have a slim margin and a playoff vibe, despite it only being August 28th. Get our Atl/Stl pick before placing your wagers!

Ross Stripling has looked good lately! The 32-year-old righty has strung together six starts in a row of allowing 2 earned runs or less. He’ll square off against Tucker Davidson, who has looked really good or really bad this season, with no in between. Get our LAA/Tor pick to win!

Julio Urias has allowed only 5 earned runs over his last 44 innings. Edward Cabrera hasn’t allowed a run in his last 22 innings. Sunday’s early game between the Dodgers and Marlins is setup to be one of the greatest pitching matchups of 2022! Get our LAD/Mia prediction here!

The Pirates scoring 0, 2, 4, 1 and 1 over their last 5 games and throwing a good pitcher like Roansy Contreras against Noah Syndergaard has low scoring written all over it! get our Pit/Phi pick here!

Braves starter Charlie Morton has looked good as of late, allowing two earned runs or less in three out of his last four games, including two goose-eggs. His ERA has literally gotten better each of the past five months. Jordan Montgomery has been off the rails since the Cardinals acquired the lefty from the Yankees. He’s allowed a filthy ONE earned run over 25.2 innings as a Cardinal! It looks like a pitcher’s duel at Busch Stadium Saturday!

The Guardians vs. Mariners series has turned out to be a heck of a series! Last night’s game went to extra innings. Saturday’s tilt will feature Zach Plesac vs. the recently acquired Luis Castillo. Get our Cle/Sea pick here!

With Dean Kremer allowing two earned runs or less in three of his last four starts, the Orioles aren’t likely to be the cake walk most bettors will view them as Saturday evening at Minute Maid Park. The Astros will be tough as well, with the red-hot Jose Urquidy on the mound. Urquidy has been even better, allowing two runs or less in five of his last six starts! Get our Bal/Hou betting prediction before placing your bets!

Sandy Alcantara has arguably been the best pitcher in Major League Baseball this season. The tall righty has dominated most opponents this season, which exception of the good teams (Dodgers/Mets). Will he regain his form after getting blasted by L.A. in his last start or continue to beat up on the weak teams and get hit hard by the league leaders? Get our LAD/Mia pick here!

Saturday features a full slate of MLB games with a pair of day games starting with an Angels vs. Blue Jays tilt. Los Angeles throttled Toronto yesterday by a score of 12-0. Can they rebound with their big horse on the hill? (Alek Manoa) Get out LAA/Tor prediction here!

Friday night MLB action closes out with a sweet pitching duel between Shane Bieber and Logan Gilbert. Runs are likely to be at a premium at T-Mobil Park tonight! Get our Cle/Sea wager recommendation here!

It’s a great day to be a Washington Nationals fan as the team has called up the 22nd pick in the 2020 MLB Draft, Cade Cavalli. The 6’4′ 240 pounder fanned 175 hitters in 123.1 innings in low level minor league action last season. He’s got control issues, but should be exciting! Get our Cin/Wash prediction here!

Orioles pitcher Kyle Bradish has gotten better as the season has gone along, but seems to have settled as a 4.00 ERA type of pitcher. He hasn’t achieved a win since May 10th as well. Not a good situation going into Minute Maid Park against an Astros team that has won four games in a row and vs. a pitcher in Lance McCullers Jr. who is uber fresh with only two starts this season.
