Latest MLB Predictions

The Nuggets 4-1 series win over the Lakers wasn’t the most aesthetically-pleasing Gentleman’s sweep, raising concerns around their ability to hang with the surging Timberwolves. Minnesota’s top-ranked defense could be the difference in Game 1, making their +4.5-point price tag an intriguing one.

The Tampa Bay Rays have the edge over the New York Mets, making them the smart moneyline pick at 1.87. With a solid starter in Zack Littell and recent success against the Mets at home, the Rays are primed to outshine their interleague foes.

We get a decisive Game 7 in Boston, and it’s a little surprising things ended up this way. The Bruins led 3-1 heading back home for Game 5, only to suffer a 2-1 loss in overtime on home ice. Sheldon Keefe’s change to Joseph Woll has paid off with back-to-back victories. The B’s are looking to avoid becoming the first North American sports team to blow a 3-1 series lead in consecutive seasons. Boston should get it done in a low-scoring game, but it won’t be easy.

Boston is having a bullpen game due to SP injuries. Twins are throwing their ace. Lopez is a high-K pitcher, and Boston is a high-K team. Minn also has an elite bullpen with a recently-returned closer. Lots in favor of the Twins today.

Jameson Taillon has pitched well through his first 18 innings back from injury, and his underlying numbers support his success outside of very few whiffs. Milwaukee can help pitchers in the whiff department, and they have a rookie with shaky minor league numbers on the mound. I side with the Cubs in this spot.

Keaton Winn and Ranger Suarez take the ball for their respective teams this evening and each starter has performed well to this point. Keaton owns a 3.18 ERA across 6 starts while Suarez just won NL Pitcher of the Month after a remarkable April. Most importantly, both starters rank in the 95th percentile or better in ground ball rate and hardly get beat by the long ball. This should be a lower scoring game.

When the New York Mets and Tampa Bay Rays meet, runs often come in bunches. With questionable pitching and potent lineups, the over 8 runs at an enticing 2.00 price is the wise wager in what should be a high-scoring matchup.

Valdez saw only 71 pitches in his return from injury, and he was shaky against the Mariners in 2023 during each of his 3 outings. The Astros bullpen has been underwhelming this season and while Seattle is not overpowering offensively, I like them to produce here. Houston hits right-handed pitching well, and they have performed better at home for several seasons. Logan Gilbert does allow a good number of barrels as well.

Logan Gilbert has produced great results so far in 2024, and was very solid against the Astros in 2023. Seattle has the bullpen advantage over Houston in this game, especially with Ryan Pressly unavailable, and with Framber not fully stretched out I like Seattle at plus money.
