Top MLB Betting Trends for Wednesday, July 5

1. Corey Julks (HOU) to Record a Hit

Frequency: 9 of last 12 games
Odds: -235

It's definitely time we stood up and took some notice of Corey Julks. The Astro was in some devastating form on July 4, record four hits along with an RBI in Houston's win over the Rockies. He's batting at a .390 avg over the last 15 days and is set for another big impact on Wednesday, coming up against Colorado pitcher Chase Anderson. The reason why that's so important is because of Anderson's previous three games. The Rockies have conceded 53 runs in the last three Anderson starts.

2. Lane Thomas (WAS) to Record a Hit

Frequency: 19 of last 21
Odds: -265

If you're crafting a parlay of any kind today, Lane Thomas has to go in there. The Nats hitter has been simply formidable, recording hits in 19 of his last 21 games, batting at a .352 avg over the past 30 days. Despite Cincinnati's decent form, they're throwing one of their most costly pitchers into the game tonight in Graham Ashcraft. Ashcraft has a 6.66 ERA on the season, conceding an average of 7 hits to opposing batters per start over his last 10 games.

3. Jeimer Candelario (WAS) to Record an RBI

Frequency: 6 of last 10 games
Odds: +185

Staying with Nationals' sluggers that could benefit from the pitching matchup against Ashcraft is Jeimer Candelario. The hitter didn't manage to drive home a run against the Reds yesterday but has otherwise been in great form, recording hits in 10 of his last 11 games. With the big plus money odds on offer for an RBI, this is too good to pass up.

Remember to gamble responsibly and set limits on your betting activities. It's important to approach sports betting as a form of entertainment, rather than relying on it for financial gain. Set a budget for yourself and stick to it, and never bet more than you can afford to lose.
