As we head into the dog days of August, MLB teams are either charging full steam ahead toward the postseason or playing spoiler—and that volatility creates opportunity for smart bettors. With teams gaining momentum or falling into funks, now’s the time to follow the trends, spot the mismatches, and ride the streaks. It’s not just about who’s the better team, it’s about who’s hot, who’s motivated, and where the value lies.
Yesterday, we went 1 for 2 on our picks.
✅ The Milwaukee Brewers handled business against the Washington Nationals. Christian Yelich went deep, and Brandon Woodruff delivered six strong innings as the Brewers cruised to an 8-2 win.
❌ On the flip side, our pick missed in the Houston Astros vs Boston Red Sox matchup. Boston came out swinging—Romy Gonzalez homered on the first pitch they saw and Trevor Story added a two-run shot to help the Sox secure a 7-3 win over Houston.
Let’s lock in for today’s picks:
✅ Milwaukee Brewers (-157) with Logan Henderson on the mound at Washington. The Brewers are absolutely rolling—17-4 in their last 21 games, and 6-1 against the Nats recently. Washington has dropped 14 of their last 21. We’re backing the hotter team with the stronger trends.
✅ Toronto Blue Jays (-148) with Chris Bassitt vs the Kansas City Royals. Bassitt brings experience and command, and the Blue Jays are in a solid spot to capitalize. This line gives us near-even money for a better club in a bounce-back spot.
