MLB Picks

Max Fried has done a nice job of keeping runs off the scoreboard, even though he’s not exactly keeping runners off the base of late. Should bettors expect the hit to catch up with him and for the Braves to give up runs tonight? DJ has your baseball prediction.

The Phillies are warming up, coming off a series win over Washington, while the Cardinals just got cooled by the Cubs, losing three straight games at Wrigley. Now Philly and St. Louis open a three-game series at Busch Stadium Monday night. MLB sportsbooks opened the Cards as -125 favorites and Darin Zank opens up about who he likes in tonight’s MLB matchup!

The Cubs hold the hot hand winners of six straight with some great hitting scoring six or more runs in five of those victories. Adam Wainwright goes for St.louis and Jose Quintana for Chicago so this may set up as a pitching duel. MLB handicapper Zank weighs in on the match-ups and gives out his pick to bet.

The Dodgers have owned the Padres winning 8 of the last 9 meetings dating back to 2018. On paper they have the starting pitcher edge in this game, so it’s no wonder the line is moving up on LAD. Will our handicapper follow the money or will he side with the home dog?

The Pittsburgh Pirates look to rebound after a 14-1 pasting by the A’s last night. That may be a tough task with sizzling Chris Bassitt on the mound for Oakland.

The Brewers just took two of three games from the Mets in NYC last weekend, and now play host to the New Yorkers for a three-game series in Beer City beginning Friday night. The Brewers are small -115 favorites tonight at most online sportsbooks. DZ has your MLB selection.

Maybe seeing the familiar red and white of the Phils will get Hellickson back on track, as he is not pitching well as of late. His past two starts have resulted in 11 runs and 15 hits, and while one of those can be explained by the thin air at Colorado’s Coors Field, there’s no excuse for coughing up five earned runs to the light-hitting Padres. Washington is +153 tonight largely because of Hellickson. Is there betting value in this matchup? Dan Jamison gives his baseball pick.

Are the Red Sox finally out of their month-long slumber and ready to look like the team that won the World Series last year? That remains to be seen, but they finished April and started May by earning their first sweep of the season at Fenway Park and only their second overall. However, the last time they swept an opponent, they promptly gave the momentum right back by dropping a pair to Detroit. Dan Jamison breaks down the Boston bats and what it will take to beat the White Sox tonight as big favorites.

Toronto starter Marcus Stroman has been one of the best pitchers in baseball this season. You wouldn’t know it looking at his 1-3 record though, When you dive into the numbers, you’ll see that the Jays righty has only had one mediocre start this season, in which he allowed 3 earned runs over 6 innings to the Cleveland Indians (April 7th). Is there betting value on this pitching matchup because of Stroman’s record? Kevin West has your MLB pick!

The Twins and Astros sit at a game apiece heading into the third game of their four-game series Wednesday night in Minneapolis. But Minnesota is up money because it’s been lined as a home dog in both games so far, and it’s lined as a home dog again for Wednesday. Is there value tonight with McHugh vs. Perez? Darin has the baseball prediction.

San Francisco stole the opener of this three-game series versus the Dodgers Monday night, and now aims for the series victory over its NL West rival tonight. The Giants are again listed as home dogs opening at +145. Darin gives his MLB pick.

The Athletics take on the Red Sox in the first of a three game set in Boston. It’s been feast or famine for the A’s as of sweeping the Rangers sandwiched by home and away sweeps by the Jays. Boston continues to find solid footing sitting six games under .500 at 11-17, Predictem prognosticator Dan Jamison gives us a breakdown on this match-up and his free pick to bet.

The Astros will look to even up the series with a victory tonight at Minute Maid Park in Houston. They send out veteran Wade Miley who at home has a 2.31 ERA and 0.86 WHIP in two starts this season. Read on to see our MLB handicapper Zank’s break down of the numbers and his suggested play.

The Brewers shook off three straight losses in St. Louis and took out their frustrations on the Mets, who watched ace pitcher Jacob DeGrom get shelled for the third consecutive start as Milwaukee coasted to a 10-2 rout of the Mets in Queens. Can the Mets bounce back as -136 favorites at home tonight?

The Dodgers have strung together five consecutive victories over the Pirates dating back to last season and took care of them easily 6-2 last night in the first meeting of the 2019 season. They send out lefty Kershaw for tonight’s match, but the team hasn’t had much success in his recent starts against Pittsburgh going 1-3. Is it worth laying the big -200 price or is backing the visitor who is riding a six game losing streak at +180 the way to go? Our MLB handicapper is going to pass on both options. Read on to get his suggested wager on this game.
