As the MLB season heats up in the heart of summer, momentum and consistency are the names of the game—for teams and bettors alike. With playoff races starting to take shape, we’re seeing clearer trends and sharper angles to attack the lines. Whether you’re riding hot streaks or fading slumps, this is the time to refine your betting strategy and capitalize on team patterns, pitching matchups, and streaky bats.
Yesterday, we split our picks 1-for-2. We missed on the Tampa Bay Rays as the Cincinnati Reds took control behind Tyler Stephenson’s bat and a solid five-inning outing from Nick Martinez in a 7-2 win. But we bounced back with the Toronto Blue Jays, who stayed red hot. Ernie Clement and Joey Loperfido hit back-to-back home runs in the fifth, helping Toronto crush the Tigers 11-4. Two first-place teams, but clearly headed in opposite directions.
Now, let’s talk about today’s picks.
First up, we’re backing the Los Angeles Dodgers (-136) with Dustin May on the mound against the Boston Red Sox. The Dodgers are 5-1 straight up in their last six against Boston and are simply too much firepower for the inconsistent Sox to handle right now.
Next, we like the Minnesota Twins (-194) with Travis Adams to get it done against the Washington Nationals. Washington has lost 12 of its last 17 games, and while the Twins have been a little rocky recently, they’re the better all-around club in this spot.
