Best MLB Bets Today

Red Sox vs. Blue Jays, 3:07PM ET

Boston's Brayan Bello is set to face Toronto's Ross Stripling in a matchup that should be tasty for both offenses. Bello (2-7, 4.39 ERA) hasn't lasted longer than six innings in any of his 12 starts and the three of the last four nine-inning Red Sox games that Bello has started have resulted in eight or more runs scored. Stripling (9-4, 3.16 ERA) is a bit more polished on the mound right now, but in his last nine innings pitched across two starts, he's gotten rocked for 15 hits and six earned runs. We see this one going over.

BET: OVER 8 (-115). Place this bet with DraftKings Sportsbook ➡️ here ⬅️.

Royals vs. Guardians, 6:10PM ET

The AL Central champion Guardians have won 10 of their last 11 games while the Royals just got swept by the lowly Detroit Tigers. Kris Bubic (2-13, 5.81 ERA) is on the mound for Kansas City and when he steps on that hill you can essentially write in a loss for the Royals - eight straight games that Bubic has started have ended in a Royals loss. Sometimes we get a gift from the sportsbooks, and we're certainly hoping that's what this line is tonight.

BET: Guardians -1.5 (+105). with DraftKings Sportsbook. Click ➡️ here ⬅️ to place your bet.

Mets vs. Braves, 7:20PM ET 

A few aces take the mound in this one, as the Mets have Max Scherzer throwing against Atlanta's Kyle Wright. Wright has notched 20 wins already on the season, while Scherzer has a squeaky clean 2.13 ERA on the year. But that doesn't mean these pitchers are infallible, in fact we see some trends that point to the opposite direction. Scherzer hasn't lasted on the mound more than six innings in any of his last three starts, and all three games totaled over 6.5 runs. The same trend applies to wright - seven of his last nine games started have hit over 6.5 runs scored. We think these trends continue tonight.

BET: Over 6.5 (-118).  Want to tail this pick? Do it with DraftKings Sportsbook and get a nice bonus while doing so by clicking ➡️ here ⬅️.
