Memorial Day baseball is always something special. The MLB season is in full swing, and we’re hitting the point where early momentum either becomes sustained dominance—or fades into regression. With teams battling for division leads and looking to build momentum heading into June, this is a key spot to find betting value. At Hot Streak Picks, we’re locked in on trends, pitching matchups, and momentum to deliver the sharpest daily plays.
Yesterday, we went a perfect 2 for 2.
✅ Chicago Cubs @ Cincinnati Reds — We hit with the Cubs getting the W. Seiya Suzuki and Reese McGuire went deep in the eighth to cap off a thrilling 11-8 comeback. With Hoerner and Crow-Armstrong contributing big hits, the Cubs continue to shine as the NL Central leaders, taking their fourth straight series.
✅ Milwaukee Brewers @ Pittsburgh Pirates — We also cashed with the Brewers. Caleb Durbin and Brice Turang came through in the clutch with back-to-back doubles in the eighth to lift Milwaukee over Pittsburgh 6-5. Another sharp play delivered.
Let’s roll that momentum into today’s picks:
✅ Arizona Diamondbacks and Ryne Nelson (-189) vs Pittsburgh Pirates — Pittsburgh is just 1-10 in its last 11 road games. Arizona, meanwhile, has owned this matchup at home, going 11-3 in their last 14 against Pittsburgh in Phoenix.
✅ San Diego Padres and Randy Vasquez (-146) vs Miami Marlins — Miami has dropped 10 of its last 11 against National League West opponents. The Padres, on the other hand, are 15-3 in their last 18 against the NL overall. This is a solid spot to back San Diego.
