MLB Picks

Our MLB picks are written by our team of experts and designed to help you make more intelligent wagers and profit throughout the season. These picks are well thought out selections based on player/team statistics, recent news including injuries/new additions, and given odds.

Expert knowledge and statistical analysis is used to determine which wagers will be profitable in the long run based on betting odds that top sportsbooks provide.

MLB picks we provide will include moneyline, run line, totals, player props, futures, and much more. These are by no means guaranteed wins and you do not need to wager on every recommended wager. Our goal is to provide you with informed perspectives and help you improve your overall process when it comes to making betting decisions. The MLB season is a long grind, so this page is there to guide you with articles posted regularly throughout baseball’s 162-game regular season.

How to Use Free MLB Picks Effectively

The intent of our MLB picks is not for our picks to be followed blindly. These are expert selections based on their own research and past experience, but by no means do you need to wager on each of our recommendations.

Use our picks as a way to gain more knowledge and combine our analysis with your own research and opinions. If you agree with one of our experts and feel confident, then feel free to tail the wager!

Something else we recommend is managing your bankroll accordingly. Find out what you are comfortable potentially losing each day and on each wager. For example, if you have a bankroll of $1000 for sports betting, the recommended unit size for each wager is 1% of that which would be $10 for each wager.

Look for favourable odds that you think will profit in the long run and avoid only placing wagers on heavy favourites that leave you with poor profit margins. Remember that sports betting should be an enjoyable pastime and a way to improve your sports viewing experience, not a long-term source of reliable income.

What Teams and Games Are Typically Covered

With 162 games played by each of the 30 teams in major league baseball and hundreds of different wagers for each game, the number of betting opportunities in baseball are endless.

Popular teams like the New York Yankees and Los Angeles Dodgers may appear more often in betting headlines, but that doesn’t mean wagering on those teams will be the most profitable. If you put in the research and really pay attention, there are all kinds of hidden gems to found when it comes to MLB betting.

Full game moneyline, run line, and totals wagers for headline matchups will always rake in the most money for betting sites in Canada, but broadening your horizon and looking at more specific options for smaller markets teams as well is a great strategy. Baseball has the longest regular season in all of sports due to the amount of randomness there is on a day-to-day basis. The worst team in the league will often beat the best team in the league at least once in a three-game series, which is much less common to see in leagues like the NFL who only have a 17-game regular season.

FAQs

What is the best strategy for betting on baseball?

There is no one size fits all strategy for betting on any sport. Everyone has their own processes and opinions when it comes to betting, and we recommend developing your own over time. Stay up to date with recent news and recent performances for the team or player you are betting on.

Check if key players are injured or not in the starting lineup on that specific day. The starting pitchers will always be the most important players when determining outcomes in baseball, so look at their recent performances and how they have performed against that specific team in the past.

Check if specific players have performed better against the pitcher they are facing in the past, and check if each team hits better if a right-handed or left-handed pitcher is on the mound.

Finally, the environment plays a huge factor in baseball as park dimensions, humidity, and elevation are different at each of the 30 ballparks. Understand which environments are more likely to produce more offense and apply that knowledge to the wagers you are placing.

What are the most common wagers to place on baseball?

Moneyline, run line, totals, first five, prop bets, and futures are all common MLB wagers. Starting pitcher strikeout totals and no run first inning bets are two of the most common wagers placed each day. Common futures bets include which team will win the world series or which players will win major awards (Cy Young, MVP, etc.) at the end of the season.
