As the heart of the MLB season heats up, bettors are starting to see patterns, momentum shifts, and crucial divisional matchups that influence how we bet. This is the time of year when the grind of the season separates contenders from pretenders, and savvy bettors can find real value if they stay sharp. Whether you’re following win streaks, pitching matchups, or recent trends, now’s when the homework pays off.
Yesterday, we split our picks going 1-for-2.
✅ Detroit Tigers at Tampa Bay Rays — We covered with Detroit winning. Keider Montero and three relievers combined on a five-hitter as the Tigers topped the Rays 4-1, locking down the win with solid pitching.
❌ Texas Rangers at Los Angeles Angels — We missed this one as the Angels walked it off in dramatic fashion. Keider Nolan Schanuel drew a bases-loaded walk in the bottom of the ninth to secure a 6-5 win over the Rangers.
Let’s rebound strong today.
First up, we like the St. Louis Cardinals (-193) behind Sonny Gray against the Nationals. While St. Louis has dropped 5 of their last 6, they’ve dominated Washington in recent matchups, going 4-1 in their last five. Gray should provide the stability they need to get back on track.
Next, we’re rolling with the Chicago Cubs (-145) on the road at Minnesota. Shota Imanaga is a solid arm and the Cubs have been strong in this spot, winning 5 of their last 7 games when playing at Minnesota. Meanwhile, the Twins have been sliding, with a 7-13 record in their last 20.
