MLB Picks

White Sox pitcher Michael Kopech looks like he’s out of gas. Mariners starter Luis Castillo has been given new life and looks like a born again Hall of Famer since joining the Mariners. With the ChiSox laying an egg yesterday, one has to question if this game is over before it even starts. Get our CWS/Sea prediction here!

It’s baffling that the Twins, who are in a playoff race, would have rookie Louie Varland make his MLB debut in the Bronx against the Yankees. Furthermore, Domingo German has been nails as of late, allowing two earned runs or less in seven of his last eight starts. Get our Min/NYY pick here!

White Sox pitcher Johnny Cueto has looked good as of late, allowing two earned runs or less in five of his last seven starts. Mariners pitcher Logan Gilbert has been sharp too, allowing two earned runs or less in three straight starts. Oddsmakers have opened the total at 7. Get our CWS/Sea bet recommendation here!

We’re expecting a ton of runs tonight at Coors Field, as Chad Kuhl has allowed 35 earned runs in his last 35.1 innings! Brewers pitcher Brandon Woodruff was beat up in his last start as well. With an over/under of 11 runs, we’re licking our chops! Get our Mil/Col pick here!

Gerrit Cole appears to have rebounded from his bad spell as evidenced by his numbers getting back to normal where he’s allowed two earned runs or less in four of his last five starts. He will have to be super sharp though, as the Yankees have lost seven of their last ten games. Get our Min/NYY prediction here!

The New York Mets and Pittsburgh Pirates kick off a 13-game slate of Labor Day MLB action with Taijuan Walker vs. Mitch Keller. Both pitchers have shown stints of brilliance this season but appear to be wearing down. With the Pirates sporting a lowly 2-12 record in their last 14 games, it’s tough to make a case for betting.

Monday’s MLB card closes out with a San Francisco Giants vs. Los Angeles Dodgers spirited rivalry game in which Logan Webb will face Andrew Heaney. Webb has allowed NO earned runs in three of his last four starts. Heaney has been absolutely wicked, allowing two earned runs or less in nine of his last ten starts. Runs will likely be at a premium!

Diamondbacks rookie Ryne Nelson has the brutal task of having his MLB debut on the road at Petco Park Monday. The Padres will feature Blake Snell, who has allowed two earned runs or less in eight of his last ten games. Get our AZ/SD prediction here!

It’s not often that we toss around terms like “body bag pick” but that’s exactly what Monday’s Brewers vs. Rockies over/under looks like with Adrian Houser and Ryan Feltner on the mound for their respective clubs. Neither pitcher has looked like they belong in Major League Baseball this past month. Expect a ton of runs to be scored!

With Twins starter Chris Archer allowing nine earned runs over his last 8.1 innings, there’s not much confidence to be had in wagering on Minnesota. Then again, the Yankees are 2-6 in their last eight games and are now without Andrew Benintendi who broke a bone in his wrist. Check out our take on this confusing Monday MLB game!

Mike Clevinger has allowed two earned runs or less in six of his last eight games. The Dodgers send Caleb Ferguson to the mound, in what appears to be a bullpen game, as he hasn’t pitched more than one inning in a single outing for over a month and his max for the season is 1.1. San Diego has won four of their last five and six of their last eight games. The Pads appear to be a live underdog at +140 odds!

With an ERA of around five for the past couple months, Luis Garcia looks like he’s run out of gas. Conversely, Shohei Ohtani has looked excellent since the beginning of August, with a 2.20 ERA. Get our Hou/LAA bet recommendation before placing your wager!

Marlins starter Edward Cabrera has been downright filthy at times this season, however, he’s faltered when pitching against good teams. Can get it together vs. the mighty Atlanta Braves Saturday? Get our Mia/Atl prediction here!

With a road ERA of 4.93 and a daytime ERA of 7.94, there’s not much to like about Noah Syndergaard pitching at Oracle Park Saturday afternoon. Get our Phi/SF pick here!

Would you believe that Drew Smyly had a 0.90 ERA in August, allowing only three earned runs over thirty innings? He’ll face grizzled vet Adam Wainright who had a 2.50 over the month of August. Runs could be at a premium Saturday at Busch Stadium!
