As we cross the halfway mark of the MLB season, momentum becomes everything—not just for the teams on the field but for bettors looking to ride the hot hands and fade the cold ones. This time of year, trends start to solidify and value can be found by analyzing recent performance, head-to-head matchups, and pitcher consistency. We’re deep enough into the season where numbers mean something, and streaks are more than just luck.
It was a 1-for-2 day for us yesterday.
✅ The Chicago White Sox delivered in a big way against the Colorado Rockies, with Lenyn Sosa smashing a homer and driving in four runs. Jonathan Cannon finally got that elusive win after seven starts, and the Sox cruised to a 10-3 victory.
❌ The Milwaukee Brewers, however, let one slip away late as rookie Agustín Ramírez knocked a tiebreaking two-run single in the 8th, helping the Miami Marlins secure a 4-2 win.
Looking at today’s matchups, our top pick is the Toronto Blue Jays (-190) behind Kevin Gausman, hosting the struggling LA Angels. Toronto is absolutely rolling—7-0 in their last 7 games and a perfect 6-0 at home over that stretch. The Angels, meanwhile, have dropped 10 of their last 12 against the Jays. With a red-hot team and ace-level arm on the mound, Toronto is a clear play.
We’re also going back to the Milwaukee Brewers (-120) with Brandon Woodruff on the hill. Milwaukee is still 10-5 SU in its last 15 and 12-5 on the road. Miami is hot—10-2 in its last 12—but we like Woodruff’s experience and the Brewers’ ability to bounce back today and even the series.
