MLB Best Bets for August 3rd

Sitting 8-4-1 through two days, which is pretty solid. We’re still coming out of the MLB trade deadline madness so you’re going to see some crazy high odds that we don’t want to bet on (like the Mets yesterday). As a result, we only have a few picks today.

The only ML play is TOR (-119). I’m still not quite sure how the odds are this low against a Tampa Bay team that is really fairly average. Yes, Yusei Kikuchi is pitching today but Ryan Yarbrough hasn’t been much better. Our model has the Blue Jays favored by 1.04 runs, so we’ll take the ML at these odds here.

Two runline bets I think are the best bets are MIL -1.5 (-130) and the Mets -1.5 (-151). The -151 for the is right at the edge of playable for me, but I have to envision this Mets offense will show up in a way they didn’t last night. They are so vastly superior to this Nationals team. The Brewers also have a big advantage, or should, over the Pirates and our model has them favored by 2.11 runs.

The other plays I like today are all over/unders. Going U 8 CHC/STL (-104) seems like one of the best bets to the model. We played it, and hit it, last night, so we’ll go back to the well again here. Justin Steele has been pretty good for the Cubs, and Miles Mikolas is having a career year. Our model has this at 6.74 total runs, so I love the play here. I also like O 7.5 in LAD/SF (-107) since our model sees this as a 8.78 total run total. The model has the Dodgers scoring almost five and a half runs off Alex Cobb on their own, which means the Giants have very little lifting to do to get us over the hump.

Lastly, I like O 8 BAL/TEX (-106). I was wrong on Baltimore coming out flat without Trey Mancini, but the injury to Jon Gray was also a brutal blow. I have more confidence in the Rangers here tonight because of Martin Perez, but Perez is due for regression and Kyle Bradish has really not been great for Baltimore. The model sees this at 8.94 total runs, so it’s a little tight, but I like the play at these odds.
