First Pick: San Diego Padres Moneyline
Rundown: The San Diego Padres are traveling to Miami and present a favorable matchup against the Marlins. Their pitching staff has been performing well, ranking among the league's best in ERA. The Padres also have a higher scoring offense, which should give them the edge in this contest. Expect San Diego to take this game.
Second Pick: Shohei Ohtani Over 1.5 Bases
Rundown: Ohtani has been having an exceptional season, with a remarkable slugging percentage and numerous extra-base hits.Facing the Minnesota Twins, he'll have ample opportunities to collect at least two bases. His consistent power and ability to hit for extra bases make this a strong prop bet. Look for Ohtani to deliver at the plate.
Third Pick: Detroit Tigers Moneyline
Rundown:The Detroit Tigers have been playing well this season, boasting a solid record compared to the struggling Pirates. Their offense has been consistently producing runs, ranking among the top teams in the league. With Casey Mize expected to pitch for the Tigers, they have a good chance to extend their winning ways. Although they are facing Skenes, Pittsburgh has shown this entire season that they cannot give him an ounce of run support, and I expect that to continue. This game appears to be a solid play for Detroit.
