As the MLB season hits its stride, we’re seeing trends emerge, underdogs break through, and favorites fight to stay consistent. This is the part of the season where momentum plays a massive role in betting success. Reading those subtle shifts in team dynamics, pitching matchups, and road/home performance can make the difference between a profitable night and a frustrating one.
At Hot Streak Picks, we’re locked in—analyzing data, tracking streaks, and delivering plays with value. Yesterday, we went 1 for 2. Let’s recap the action:
❌ Giants vs Guardians: San Francisco was all about welcoming Rafael Devers, but Cleveland had other plans. Gabriel Arias hit a clutch homer in the sixth and doubled in the ninth, helping the Guardians edge the Giants 3-2.
✅ Cardinals vs White Sox: St. Louis took care of business in dominant fashion. Brendan Donovan racked up four hits, and Iván Herrera knocked in four runs while Liberatore handled things on the mound. The Cards rolled to a 12-2 blowout win, handing the White Sox their sixth straight L.
Now for today’s top two picks:
Houston Astros (-163) with Framber Valdez vs Athletics
We’re backing the Astros here. Oakland’s been weak at home lately, going just 5-12 in their last 17 at the Coliseum. Houston is heating up—winners in 6 of their last 7. With Framber on the bump, we like their chances to stay hot.
St. Louis Cardinals (-192) with Sonny Gray vs Chicago White Sox
We’re riding with St. Louis again. They’ve won 4 of their last 6 against Chicago, and the White Sox are in free fall with six straight losses. Sonny Gray gives the Cards a strong edge in this one.
Final Thoughts
These picks are built on recent trends, favorable pitching matchups, and the cold streaks we’re seeing from their opponents. Whether you’re betting on FanDuel, DraftKings, PrizePicks, Underdog, Sleeper, or ESPNBet—these plays bring strong value to your slate. Bet smart and enjoy the ride!
