As the second half of the MLB season rolls on, momentum is everything. Teams are either surging toward the postseason or spiraling into irrelevance, and savvy bettors are cashing in on the trends. This is the time of year where betting strategy really pays off — recognizing who’s hot, who’s due, and which matchups offer true value. Whether you’re tailing streaks or spotting letdowns, it’s about reading the pulse of the league day by day.
Yesterday, we went 1 for 2 on our picks. We hit with confidence on the San Diego Padres as Xander Bogaerts crushed a grand slam in the first inning and Elias Díaz added a homer to help the Padres blow out the Nationals 8-1. On the other side, the Philadelphia Phillies came up short as Jose Soriano locked them down for seven innings and Taylor Ward’s three-run double led the Angels to an 8-2 win. We’ll take the split, but we’re hungry for a clean sweep today.
Today’s Picks:
Tampa Bay Rays (-226) behind Shane Baz against the Chicago White Sox is a play we like a lot. Tampa Bay has dominated this matchup at home, going 5-1 in their last 6 games at Tropicana Field against the Sox. And while Chicago has shown flashes, Baz gives the Rays a strong edge on the mound.
Milwaukee Brewers (+104) with Brandon Woodruff on the mound face a hot Seattle team, but history is on Milwaukee’s side. They’re 6-1 in their last 7 games against the Mariners. Woodruff has been steady, and we like the Brewers to keep that dominance going even on the road.
