As we move into the heart of August, the MLB season has hit a pivotal rhythm. Teams are battling for playoff positioning, and that urgency creates prime betting opportunities. Momentum is everything, and savvy bettors know when to ride the hot hands and fade the slumping squads. At this point in the season, patterns have formed, player roles are solidified, and the betting edges are clearer for those who’ve stayed locked in.
Yesterday, we nailed both of our picks — keeping the hot streak alive.
✅ The Milwaukee Brewers outlasted the Braves 5-4, thanks to big hits from Blake Perkins and Andrew Vaughn, marking their sixth straight win.
✅ The Tampa Bay Rays also came through, with Junior Caminero blasting two home runs and the bullpen combining for 16 strikeouts in a 5-4 win over the Angels. That’s another clean sweep for our community.
Today, we’re rolling with two more plays backed by strong trends:
Athletics (-150) (Jacob Lopez) at Washington Nationals – We like the A’s to win this one. Oakland is 8-4 SU in its last 12 games and 5-1 SU in its last six on the road. Washington, meanwhile, is struggling — just 1-6 SU in its last seven.
Seattle Mariners (Logan Gilbert) (+104) vs Chicago White Sox – The Mariners are heating up, going 5-1 SU in their last six. The White Sox have dropped 7 of their last 8 against Seattle and continue to underperform across the board.
