Today's MLB Best Bets

Dan Karpuc: Nationals-Marlins Over 7.5 Runs
The Nationals have scored 5.65 runs per game on the road this season (second most), while the Marlins have scored 4.76 runs per game at home this season (ninth most). While Washington will face a very tough pitcher in Pablo Lopez (4-1, 1.05 ERA), they’ve proven to get runs across the plate on the road. Meanwhile, Josiah Gray (4-3, 4.34 ERA) will be on the hill for the Nats and he’s given up crooked numbers in multiple starts, which makes me really like the Marlins in this spot. The over has gone 11-4 (73.3%) in Nationals road games and 11-7 (61.1%) in Marlins home games, which adds a bit of extra confidence to this pick.

Brad Pinkerton: Yankees-Orioles Over 7.5

If you've been following these picks, 1. you've probably been winning, and 2. you know that the BetQL model has been absolutely crushing it this season, especially lately. The model has gone 86-47 (65%) on all MLB picks in the past three days alone, for a total return of $2,196 on $100 bets! Not bad. And it's been consistent across all bet types in that span: run line 17-11 (61%, $622); moneyline 19-9 (68%, $236); totals 16-9 (64%, $489); and even 5-inning moneylines 17-7 (71%, $433).

So, your best bet is to sign up for BetQL to get all of these great plays every day. But one of the best bets today, as in a ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ pick, is Yankees-Orioles over 7.5 runs. These two went over the total last night in the Yankees' 5-4 win (a bad beat for us who had Yankees -1.5 with the Orioles plating a run in the ninth), and have gone over four of the last five times they've played. The Yankees offense is finding some consistency and the Orioles, well, their inconsistency on the mound makes these low totals an intriguing play to the over. BetQL likes it, and even has three more ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ plays in this game, so check it out with a Day Pass below.
