As we roll into August, the MLB season is entering its final stretch—and that’s when momentum matters most. Teams are jockeying for playoff position, while bettors look to ride hot streaks and catch value before lines tighten even further. Whether you’re a casual fan or a daily grinder, August brings the perfect opportunity to capitalize on trends, spot mismatches, and ride the wave of baseball’s rhythm.
Yesterday we went 1-for-2 on our picks.
✅ We covered with the Seattle Mariners, who shut out the Texas Rangers 6-0 behind a dominant performance from George Kirby and homers from Cal Raleigh and rookie Cole Young.
❌ We didn’t cover with the Rays, as Giancarlo Stanton and Ben Rice went yard early, helping the Yankees take control before a lengthy rain delay. They held on for a 7-4 win in a game that tested everyone’s patience.
Let’s shift to today’s slate and lock in a pair of sharp plays:
Milwaukee Brewers (-147) at Washington Nationals — Jose Quintana takes the mound, and we like the Brewers to stay hot. Milwaukee is 15-4 SU in its last 19 and 5-2 in its last 7 against Washington. The Nationals are fading, going just 7-13 in their last 20. Milwaukee’s bullpen has also been lights-out, and this is a favorable matchup they should control from start to finish.
Pittsburgh Pirates (-108) at Colorado Rockies — We’re rolling with the Pirates and Ryan Pepiot here. Pittsburgh has won five straight, and they’re 4-1 in their last five versus Colorado. The Rockies have dropped four of their last five and continue to struggle defensively. At this price, Pittsburgh is a great value play to extend their streak.
