Top MLB Expert Picks for Today

They’ve crunched the numbers, checked the matchups and can tell you the ERA or OPS of every player on the teams. Our MLB experts are back to help you get the edge on the sportsbooks with their top picks of the day. 

Astros (70-58) at Orioles (59-68)

The BetQL computer model has this game as a 50/50 split, but the experts like the Astros -108 as they take on Baltimore in game 2 of this four game series. Houston took game 1 yesterday 7-2, and will start RHP Lance McCullers Jr. (2-4, 6.90 ERA) against LHP Cade Povich (2-6, 4.98 ERA) and the Orioles. Thanks to Seattle's recent losing streak, the Astros have a 2 game lead in the AL West, while Baltimore is firmly in last place in the AL East.

Mets (67-60) at Braves (58-69)

We've got a consensus on this game. The Experts, the public and the BetQL computer model all like the Braves -108 as the Mets head into town for a 3 game series. Braves' LHP Joey Wenty (4-3, 4.72 ERA) has looked good in his last two starts, as Atlanta looks to spoil New York's playoff hopes. The Mets have dropped their last two and are now 7 games behind the Phillies in the NL East and just .5 games up on the Reds for the last Wild Card spot.

Dodgers (73-55) at Padres (72-56)

Is it any wonder that the experts are picking the Padres +101 at home against the Dodgers. San Diego has been playing consistently good baseball and are now just 1 game back in the NL West race after taking 3 of 4 against the Giants. Ohtani is still listed as day to day on the Dodgers injury report, but I'd expect him to be back at some point in this series if possible. The Dodgers sweeping the Padres a week ago has the BetQL computer model projecting them to win in 70% of the simulations, but if they play the way they did against the Rockies, we could see a new leader in the West.
