MLB Season Is Heating Up—Are You Riding the Momentum?
As we roll into August, the MLB season is hitting its stretch run. Playoff races are tightening, players are grinding, and savvy bettors know now’s the time to capitalize on trends, momentum, and matchups. The best betting strategy this time of year? Stay sharp, avoid overreacting to big blowouts, and ride with teams that are showing consistency—especially against struggling opponents.
We did just that yesterday, going 2-for-2 with two strong picks that cashed in. ✅ The Milwaukee Brewers took care of business in Atlanta, holding the Braves to just one run after giving up a leadoff homer. Isaac Collins came up huge with a three-run blast, and Quinn Priester was rock solid the rest of the way. ✅ The Toronto Blue Jays absolutely exploded at home, riding Bo Bichette’s two homers and six RBIs to a 15-1 win over the Rockies. That’s the kind of momentum we love to see.
Today’s Picks: Let’s Ride
🟢 Milwaukee Brewers (-150) (Freddy Peralta) at Atlanta Braves
We’re riding with Milwaukee again. The Brewers are red hot, going 7-1 in their last eight games, and they’ve won 5 of their last 7 against Atlanta. The Braves, meanwhile, are struggling—just 3-9 in their last 12. Freddy Peralta on the mound gives us extra confidence to back the Brew Crew here.
🟢 Tampa Bay Rays (+104) (Ryan Pepiot) vs Los Angeles Angels
We like the underdog value here. The Angels have been ice cold in August, going 5-13 in their last 18 games played this month. Tampa Bay hasn’t dominated the Angels historically, but we’re backing them today with Ryan Pepiot on the bump and a good spot to bounce back at home.
