The MLB season is deep into its summer rhythm, and savvy bettors know this is when momentum and recent trends can give you the edge. With the All-Star break approaching, teams are pushing hard to establish consistency, and that makes betting smarter—and sharper—more important than ever. It’s not about swinging for the fences with longshots; it’s about reading the matchups, understanding the stats, and finding where the value lies.
Yesterday was a mixed bag with just one game played. Our Milwaukee Brewers vs Mets pick got rained out, so we didn’t get a chance to cash in on that edge. And unfortunately, our pick on the Tampa Bay Rays didn’t pan out. The Athletics edged out a win in extras with a sac fly by Austin Wynns, handing Tampa Bay their third straight loss. Tough beat, but we move on.
Today, we’re back with two high-value plays.
First up, we like the Arizona Diamondbacks (-136) with Merrill Kelly on the mound as they face the San Francisco Giants. The Giants are sliding, going 1-7 in their last eight games, and they’ve struggled head-to-head against Arizona, especially on the road. The D-Backs are 10-3 in their last 13 games at home against San Fran—hard to ignore that trend.
Next, we’re locking in the Los Angeles Dodgers (-328) with Clayton Kershaw taking the ball at home against the struggling White Sox. Chicago has dropped five straight against LA and is just 4-16 on the road in their last 20 games. Meanwhile, the Dodgers are surging, winning seven of their last eight. This one feels like a safe spot to back the Blue Crew.
