MLB Baseball Picks

The St. Louis Cardinals head to PNC Park Friday to play the Pittsburgh Pirates and Roansy Contreras, who has allowed two earned runs or less in six of his last eight games. Get our Stl/Pit prediction here!

Thursday’s seven game abbreviated slate closes out with a Chicago White Sox vs. Oakland A’s matchup that offers us a pretty sweet pitcher’s duel between Dylan Cease and J.P. Sears. Both pitchers have been throwing well and runs should be at a premium at the Oakland Coliseum. Get our Chi/Oak betting prediction here!

The Miami Marlins have lost nine games in a row and have scored two runs or less in eight of those contests. Talk about a DEAD offense! See how we’re betting the Mia/Phi game here!

We expect the Nationals to come out flat as pancake Thursday morning after a colossal meltdown last night, blowing a four run lead in the 9th inning. Check out today’s game stats and get our Wash/Stl pick here!

The Diamondbacks crappy bullpen blew yet another save last night, which almost assures that they’ll come out flat after the huge emotional letdown. They’ll face Yu Darvish, who has a 1.80 ERA against them in 20 innings this season. There’s no such thing as a lock, but if there was, this would be one!

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!
