As we roll into early June, the MLB season is starting to reveal who the contenders and pretenders really are. Teams are settling into mid-season form, and sharp bettors are taking advantage of streaks, matchups, and key player trends. Now is the time to refine your betting strategy and lean into those reliable patterns that point to value. Momentum is everything—and the books haven’t always caught up.
Yesterday, our picks didn’t land. We had the Milwaukee Brewers over the Reds, but Cincinnati rallied with a clutch 4-2 win, highlighted by TJ Friedl’s game-saving leap to rob a tying home run in the ninth. Then the Orioles handled the Mariners 5-1 behind Colton Cowser, who went deep in his return from the 60-day IL. A tough 0-for-2 day, but we bounce back strong.
Here are today’s top MLB bets:
Philadelphia Phillies (-211) at Toronto Blue Jays
We like the Phillies to take this one behind Mick Abel. Philly is 5-1 in its last 6 vs. Toronto, and they’ve been swinging it well. Toronto’s also 5-1 in its last 6, but this spot favors the Phillies with the pitching edge and momentum.
Tampa Bay Rays (-144) vs Texas Rangers
Give us the Rays at home. Tampa Bay is red-hot—10-3 in its last 13 and 8-1 in its last 9 at home. Meanwhile, Texas has dropped 10 of its last 14 and continues to struggle on the road.
