MLB Baseball Picks

A great pitching battle ensues Thursday at the Oakland Coliseum as Robbie Ray takes the ball for the Mariners and Frankie Montas goes to the mound for the struggling Athletics. Seattle bats have really come alive the past couple days with 9 and 8 runs. Oakland has lost four of their last five games and only scored a measly 7 runs during that span!

Orioles starter Dan Kremer has only allowed one earned run over his last eleven innings. Johnny Cueto is coming off a seven inning scoreless outing vs. the Astros, but had looked fairly average in his three previous starts. Who gets the money Thursday? Get our Balt/CWS prediction here!

Runs could be at a premium Thursday at Target Field with Zach Plesac and Devin Smeltzer on the mound! Get our Cle/Min betting pick here!

The Los Angeles Dodgers appear to be back on track as they’ve bombed the Cincinnati Reds for eight runs in each of the last two games at Great American Ballpark. The Reds have lost their last six games and are up against it with Clayton Kershaw on the mound today. Get our LAD/Cin bet recommendation here!

The Colorado Rockies and Miami Marlins kick off an abbreviated Thursday betting card with an early Noon ET game at Marlins Park featuring pitchers Kyle Freeland and Braxton Garrett. Freeland is a much better pitcher away from Coors Field (3.00 ERA) and Garrett is a young pitcher struggling to find his groove in the big leagues. The Rockies have dropped the first two games in the series and Miami is hitting well, plating an average of eight runs over the two games. Get our Col/Mia prediction here!

The Philadelphia Phillies and San Diego Padres close out Thursday’s abbreviate MLB card with Ranger Suarez vs. Joe Musgrove. Musgrove has been nearly untouchable this season at Petco Park with a 1.41 ERA and 0.91 WHIP. Suarez has pedestrian numbers this season, but pitches better on the road with a 4-1 record.
