The MLB season is rolling into the dog days of summer, where momentum and form can shift quickly—and that’s exactly where savvy bettors separate from the rest. With playoff races heating up and players grinding through the long season, every edge counts. Whether it’s recent trends, pitching matchups, or team fatigue, this is the time of year where strategy matters more than ever.
Tuesday’s picks gave us a 1-for-2 split. We didn’t cover the Braves-Royals game—Atlanta fell 9-6 after Ronald Acuña Jr. left with Achilles tightness, and Kansas City’s Kyle Isbel delivered a dagger with a three-run double. But we bounced back with the Astros, who snapped a five-game losing streak thanks to three hits each from Yainer Diaz and Mauricio Dubón, topping the Nationals 7-4.
Let’s move on to today’s card and lock in our two best bets.
Cleveland Guardians (+100)(Kolby Allard) vs Colorado Rockies
We like the Guardians here. Cleveland is 13-6 SU in its last 19 games and gets a favorable matchup against a Colorado team that struggles on the road—4-11 SU in its last 15. At plus money, there’s clear value backing the home team with Allard on the mound.
Milwaukee Brewers (-138)(Freddy Peralta) vs Chicago Cubs
Milwaukee is red-hot at home, winning 9 of its last 11 in their own ballpark. Meanwhile, the Cubs are just 1-4 SU in their last five against the Brewers. With Freddy Peralta dealing and the Brewers playing confident baseball, we’re laying the chalk here with Milwaukee.
