As we head into the dog days of August, momentum becomes everything in Major League Baseball. Teams fighting for playoff spots are digging deep, while others are playing spoiler—creating plenty of opportunity for savvy bettors. The sharpest bets this time of year often come down to recognizing trends, reading the energy, and riding hot teams while fading the cold ones.
That strategy paid off yesterday with a clean 2-for-2 sweep.
✅ The Milwaukee Brewers came through again, beating the Braves 7-2 behind a strong outing from Freddy Peralta and a big fourth inning sparked by Andrew Vaughn. ✅ In our second pick, the Tampa Bay Rays erupted for seven runs in the fourth and cruised to a 7-3 win over the Angels. When teams find rhythm, we stay locked in.
Let’s run it back today with two more:
Pick 1: Milwaukee Brewers (-150) (Jose Quintana) at Atlanta Braves
We’re riding with the Brewers again. They’ve won 5 straight and are 6-2 in their last 8 against Atlanta. Meanwhile, the Braves are ice cold—just 3-10 in their last 13 games. Jose Quintana brings veteran consistency, and Milwaukee’s bats are alive. Momentum is on their side.
Pick 2: Tampa Bay Rays (Shane Baz) (+104) vs Los Angeles Angels
Even with shaky trends, we like Tampa Bay to make it two straight against the Angels. Shane Baz has electric stuff, and while the Rays have struggled on the road, the Angels are just 2-4 in their last 6 and continue to look flat. At plus money, we’re taking the value here.
