Money Line Pick

MIL Brewers Win(+100)

Reasoning

The Milwaukee Brewers defeated the Chicago Cubs in Game 1 of the NLDS by a 9-3 final score. They followed that performance up in Game 2 with a 7-3 win. Now the series shifts venues with the Cubs playing host in Game 3 Wednesday evening. Chicago obviously needs a win to regain ground in the series, and they will turn to veteran right-hander Jameson Taillon. Taillon posted a 3.68 ERA in his 129.2 innings during the regular season. His first postseason appearance of the year resulted in 4 scoreless frames against the Padres. He enters in good form, but this will be his 4th time seeing the Brewers lineup this season. Given their 2-0 series deficit, Taillon could have a very short leash in this matchup.

Taillon is fully capable of delivering solid innings for the Cubs in this spot, but Quinn Priester is my preferred starter in this matchup. Priester took a major step forward in 2025 for the Brewers, pitching 157.1 innings with a 3.32 ERA. Milwaukee lost his final regular season start of the season, but that snapped a streak of 19 consecutive starts that he made where the Brewers won. Clearly several factors go into winning a ballgame at this level, but Priester’s consistency and poise should help Milwaukee’s chances of grabbing a commanding 3-0 series lead. At current pricing I side with the Brewers.

LA Dodgers Win(-180)

Reasoning

The Los Angeles Dodgers will look to complete the sweep of the Philadelphia Phillies in Game 3 of the NLDS. Their offense has been on fire, and that’s bad news for any team standing in their way. Los Angeles has yet to lose a game this postseason, and has averaged 5.8 runs per game over their last 10 games.

For the Phillies, their bullpen has been their downfall, blowing both games while posting a 7.11 ERA this postseason after a 4.25 ERA during the regular season. Offensively, Philadelphia is averaging just 3.3 runs per game in their last 10 – not nearly enough runs if they’re looking to compete against this Dodgers team. Taking the mound for the Dodgers will be Yoshinobu Yamamoto who is 1-0 with a 0.00 ERA this postseason. For the Phillies, Aaron Nola will make his first postseason start, but on the season, he went 5-10 with a 6.01 ERA. The Dodgers have the edge both on the mound and at the plate, and given Nola’s struggles this year, it’s hard to see him slowing down the Dodgers offense. Look for the Dodgers to complete the sweep and advance to the NLCS.

Game Totals Pick

Over 8.5(-105)

Reasoning

Game 4 of the ALDS featuring the Toronto Blue Jays and the New York Yankees is on Wednesday. The Yankees survived Tuesday with their backs against the wall, down 2-0 in the series, and down 6-1 in the early innings. Led by Aaron Judge, the offense exploded to win the game, 9-6, and give the Yankees a chance in the series. On Wednesday, they will send rookie Cam Schlitter to the mound, a week after he obliterated the Red Sox with 8 innings of scoreless baseball and a record 12 Ks. I would imagine the entire betting world will be on the Yankees to win, and I would be too, except that that price is going to bottom out to the point that it isn’t worth the play. Instead, I am looking to pivot to the game total and target the over.

Usually in the playoffs, I prefer the under, as managers will pull any pitcher at the first sign of trouble. But this series has been over the game total in all 3 games, and that has especially been fueled by the Blue Jays and their 29 runs in the series thus far. Schlitter was a good story, but can we bank on a rookie to follow a record-setting performance with another solid start? He threw 107 pitches, and that is always worrisome this late in the year with young arms. The Blue Jays are using a bullpen game in some fashion, and that too is worrisome, especially given how many arms had to throw on Tuesday. These teams have seen every arm the other bullpen has to offer, and the hitters should certainly have the advantage. The wind is blowing out in the Bronx, and the energy level will be high. I am looking for another high-scoring game in this AL East clash.

Money Line Pick

DET Tigers Win(-120)

Reasoning

In this game, we will see the Seattle Mariners take on the Detroit Tigers for Game 4 of the American League Division Series. The Mariners currently lead the series 2-1 and are looking to close the series in Detroit today. On the mound, we have Bryce Miller of the Mariners and Casey Mize of the Tigers. Miller will be making his first playoff start after a rather disappointing year. On the year, he has a 5.68 ERA with a 4-6 record. The runs that Miller gives up per game has been an issue since May. Miller has given up 3+ runs in 10 of his last 12 starts. With numbers like this, we can suspect that they intend to pull him early and rely on their bullpen that has only given up 5 runs over the past 3 games. Part of that is due to the hitting struggles of the Tigers, as they have been patting .191 since the playoffs started. Though I feel we may see this trend change today.

For the Tigers, Mize will take the hill. Mize looked great in his start against the Cleveland Guardians in the Wild Card Series. He pitched 3 innings giving up just 1 hit and 1 run (1 home run). On the season, his numbers have been similar to this with a 3.87 ERA and a 14-6 record. He has faced the Mariners twice this season where he gave up 0 runs through 5.2 innings and 6 runs in 3 innings. The positive things for Mize is that the Mariners are only batting .212 over the past 3 games. Mize has a good chance of controlling the mound in this one. Outside of Mize, the Tigers bullpen has also only given up 5 runs over the past 3 games. Overall, I trust Mize significantly more than I trust Miller and the Tigers will be looking to force a Game 5 in this series. I am rolling with the Tigers to get the win and tie the series.

The biggest theme of MLB picks is ‘opportunity.’ That’s because of the mammoth 162 regular-season games, plus the playoffs, meaning you can have are up to 15 MLB games a day to wager on — and sometimes more if doubleheaders are involved! With so many games on offer each day, it means if your MLB picks get hot, you can really build up your bankroll quickly. It also means that if you have a not-so-great day at the sportsbook window, you can get right back on the horse the next day instead of dwelling on it for a week as you would with the NFL for example. We have MLB picks on the best games, every day from opening day through to the World Series itself.

What Free MLB Expert Picks Do You Offer On MLB Games Today

There are 2,430 total games in the MLB regular season and our expert MLB picks provide insight and analysis including an MLB Expert Pick for all of the MLB games today, and be sure to head to our MLB Best Bets page for today’s top plays.

MLB Games Today – Today’s MLB Picks

We offer our MLB expert picks throughout the 6-month MLB season with great success. We have you covered with Today’s MLB Picks, available for all of the MLB games today. Our MLB picks cover the marquee matchups as well as the under-the-radar plays away from the spotlights where you often find tremendous value. Pitching matchups, weather, injuries, travel schedule, and many other factors are all taken into account to find the best MLB picks in all of the MLB games today.

2025 MLB Picks

MLB picks provide a real test across such an action-packed and long season. The age-old cliché of it being a marathon and not a sprint is most applicable to MLB picks during the 2,430 game season.

Our experts spend hours researching and analyzing all of the key information such as statistics, pitchers, team news, weather, travel, and more before making our MLB picks all season long.

With 2,340 regular season games, and an entire MLB postseason to breakdown, the level of detail required for long-term wagering success is huge. That’s where our experts shine, we do the research so you don’t have to, bringing you a full game preview and the best free MLB picks throughout the MLB regular season and post season.

Free Money Line MLB Picks

The most popular way to bet on MLB is via the Money line. This means games are basically handicapped based on each of the team’s starting pitchers. “Sure thing” pitchers such as Max Scherzer, Paul Skenes and Zack Wheeler are going to cost you, often requiring a $200 or more wager to make $100 (-200). Finding an even pitching matchup or one of those stud pitchers that may be fatigued and going against them is the best way to make money on the MLB. Our free MLB money line picks help you identify these profitable matchups throughout the baseball season.

MLB Picks Against The Spread – Run Line MLB Picks

The spread in baseball is known as ‘the run line’. Many bettors feel there isn’t as much value laying -200 on an all-star caliber pitcher because even elite pitchers can turn the game over to his bullpen who will subsequently blow the game and cost them the win. Therefore waging on the run line (-1.5 or +1.5) is a great way to find better MLB prices compared to the Money Line. A Zack Wheeler pick on the ML (win outright) for example might be -240 but betting that same game to win by 2 runs or more (run line) could be priced at -120. The MLB run line works in the opposite way too. There are a lot of 1-run games in baseball and betting on a team +1.5 runs is a great way to string together wagering wins if you think teams can keep games close.

Free Total Runs MLB Picks

There’s no other sport where the stadiums and the weather are so crucial to the scoring as the MLB. This is why our free MLB picks on the totals see almost as much wagering from the public as each side of the game itself.

The dimensions of the MLB parks are also different and need to be factored in when making your MLB picks. Coors Field for example is located in the high altitude of Denver, Colorado which means it’s not unlikely to see scores similar to 11-8 three or four times a week. Minute Maid Park in Houston for example has a left-field wall that is just 315 feet from home plate compared to AT&T Park in San Francisco that has a right-center field alley of 421 feet.

Weather is a major factor when picking our MLB picks today. The ball travels better on 92 degree Summer days in Arlington, Texas, or when the wind is blowing out to left field at 23 MPH at Wrigley Field in Chicago. So before you head to the window make sure you check the weather report to give your ticket the best chance of cashing, particularly with those MLB Totals picks.

Our experts do all of this research and analysis for you and our accompanying game preview will detail all of the key factors in making our MLB Totals Picks for each game.

Alternate Free Expert MLB Picks

There are numerous ways to have success with your MLB picks. For example, if you are confident in a team’s starting pitching but have reservations on their bullpen and relievers, sportsbooks offer the first 5 innings lines.

Also if you are really confident in a particular matchup you can bet on alternate run lines or taking a team to win by -2.5 or even -3.5 runs with increasing pay outs. Another fun way to essentially bet on all MLB games today, at once, is with a grand salami wager, in which you’re wagering on the over/under for total runs scored in all games on a given day. There’s plenty of fun to be had on a daily basis with our MLB picks.

Free Baseball Picks Today

Baseball is a notoriously difficult sport to bet on day today. Teams will typically play each other in mini-series over a few days, and it’s common to see the sides split these games.

To make the most informed decision about any matchup or wager requires a lot of time and research ahead of making our MLB baseball picks. Our expert handicappers will consider everything from pitching lineups, bullpen strength, the number of days on the road, player injuries, the stadium, the weather, and a whole host of advanced statistical models before making our baseball picks. With 2,340 regular-season games and up to 15 on any given day, that’s a lot of hours’ worth of research for any one person. That’s where we at Pickswise come to the fore.

What Is An MLB Computer Pick

An MLB computer pick is an unbiased entirely stats-driven MLB pick on the outcome of particular markets in a given MLB game.

Advanced stats, beyond the hits, runs and strikes, have long been associated with baseball, and the importance of it has grown immensely in recent years with regards to MLB picks and waging. With access to more and more data, we can use this information to find an edge in the MLB markets to bring you the best MLB picks from today’s games.

An MLB computer pick is generated by a supercomputer capable of simulating pre-game probabilities using advanced machine learning techniques by simulating each MLB game over 10,000 times to cater for the large range of outcomes and variables that can occur. It does this by running hundreds of algorithmic variabilities to predict the performance of each player, which is then used to run overall match simulations. This is then compared to the live odds and markets to find the biggest non-biased edges out there.

How To Use And Wager On MLB Computer Picks

There are many ways you can use MLB computer picks, with a wealth of information generated for various markets ahead of today’s MLB slate.

For each MLB game, you’ll find MLB computer picks for the Money line, Run Line, and Run Totals markets. You can also generate individual player projections with strikeouts, runs, & or hits, which are great for finding the edge on MLB player prop bets.

MLB Baseball Consensus Picks

MLB consensus picks are the picks in which the public are leaning and waging on any given MLB game, or market. For example, if 68% of the picks are on the Chicago White Sox money line, over the Detroit Tigers, then they are the consensus money line pick. However if 60% of the picks are on the Tigers ATS, then they are the consensus pick on the spread. The consensus, in short, is a way to gauge where the money is going, this can move lines and odds, so are worth keeping an eye on, at the very least, even if you intend on fading the public.
