Best MLB Bets: Expert Betting Picks & ROI Predictions
Chicago Cubs (+137) vs. Cincinnati Reds — 10.2% Expected ROI
According to the Power Rankings Tool the Cubs win this game 46% of the time. This makes them a good value bet as a sizable homer underdog. It is generally hard to find positive words to say about the Cubs, as they have tanked since the All-Star break, but betting them recently has yielded solid profits. Despite shipping away their stars at the trade deadline, the Cubs are on their longest winning streak of the season.
Los Angeles Angels (+280) at San Diego Padres — 8.9% Expected ROI
Since baseball is a game of variance, there is rarely a spot where any team is worthy of getting priced as a +280 underdog. Blake Snell is on the mound for San Diego. He has pitched extremely well lately, but this is still a rocky season for him. On the year Snell has posted a 4.31 ERA and a 5.11 FIP. This is not to say the Angeles should win, but the line is too wide. With a projected 29% chance to win, the fair line is +245.
Boston Red Sox vs. Tampa Bay Rays Under 9.5 runs — 8.4% Expected ROI
This is the only total of the day that rates out as a good bet, and Eduardo Rodriguez is a driving force as to why. His 4.88 ERA is not pretty, but his underlying stats are terrific. This is arguably the best year Rodriguez has had on the mound, and he is getting done in by bad luck. His 3.58 xERA is a better indication of his talent level. A .354 BABIP and 67.8% left on base are both barometers of bad luck. Rodriguez’s fortunes have started to turn since he has allowed three runs or fewer in five of his last six starts.
