MLB Picks

Two of the better teams from the National League take to the field of Citizens Bank Park in the opener of Milwaukee Brewers vs. Philadelphia Phillies series. Based on the starting pitchers current form the Phillies and Aaron Nola, but the Philadelphia right-hander doesn’t have the best of historical numbers against the Brewers current line-up. Read on to get our prognosticator’s take on the match-up and free pick.

After splitting the first two games of this three-game series, and playing a marathon on Saturday, the Brewers and Cubs meet for a rubber match Sunday under the lights at Wrigley Field. Darin looks at if the Cubs are good value at -140 and makes his MLB prediction.

The Yankees grabbed the opener of this AL East rivalry series Friday night and now shoot for the series victory when the teams meet again Saturday evening at Tropicana Field. Can CC Sabathia and New York pull it out in the 87 degree heat tonight? Darin Zank has your MLB pick.

Two teams trending in different directions as of late meet when the Mariners and Red Sox open a three-game weekend series at Fenway Friday night. Online sportsbooks have the Red Sox as huge favorites. Which team will start the series off by breaking 500 tonight? Read Darin Zank’s MLB prediction!

Trading for Tyler Glasnow from Pittsburgh has looked like a stroke of brilliance for the Rays, as TG has blossomed into an outstanding pitcher for Tampa Bay this season. To date, Glasnow has pitched like the All-Star they gave away, going at least five innings in every start and earning the decision in all six of the games. But doesn’t he bring value at -135 versus the Yanks? Dan has your MLB pick!

The Dodgers are hot while the Nationals are cooling off heading into the opener of this four-game series at Chavez Ravine Thursday night. Sportsbooks have made LA -140 favorites at home. Darin looks at the pitching and bats and gives his MLB pick.

Yusei Kikuchi pitched well enough to win in his most recent start. He went seven strong innings on the hill, scattering just three hits for the evening. He’d only allowed one run to score, and he fanned 10 Cleveland hitters. The bad news is that the Mariners still lost the game because their punchless offense couldn’t get more than a single run against Cleveland. The Mariners come in to tonight’s game as +120 underdogs. DJ looks for betting value and gives his baseball pick!

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 moneyline on this game is at pick’em on many boards with the total offered at 8 runs. Read on to get MLB handicapper Dan Jamison’s free pick.

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.
