We’re rolling into a pivotal stretch of the MLB season where teams are starting to show their true colors. Momentum is building, playoff races are heating up, and for savvy bettors, that means plenty of opportunities. As always, betting isn’t just about stats—it’s about timing, matchups, and understanding when a bounce-back game is due.
Yesterday, we hit a cold patch going 0 for 2. The Cubs couldn’t get it done against the Reds. Elly De La Cruz was a problem right from the start—crushing a two-run homer in the first and driving in four runs total as the Reds took down Chicago 6-4. Over in Pittsburgh, the Brewers had their chances but couldn’t convert. Despite three hits from Caleb Durbin and two more from Yelich, Milwaukee left nine runners stranded. Oneil Cruz came through with the game-winner for the Pirates in the seventh to seal a 2-1 loss for the Brew Crew.
Let’s bounce back today with two plays we love:
Chicago Cubs and Ben Brown (-135) @ Cincinnati Reds – The Cubs have been solid against Cincinnati lately, winning 4 of their last 6 against the Reds and 6 of their last 8 overall. We’re backing Ben Brown and the Cubs to even the series today.
Milwaukee Brewers and Logan Henderson (-148) @ Pittsburgh Pirates – Pittsburgh has struggled in divisional matchups, going 5-10 SU in their last 15 against NL Central opponents. We like the Brewers to respond today behind Henderson.
