Whether you are looking at some MLB money line picks. MLB over/unders, or looking to make that winning MLB same game parlay, make sure you are checking out all the fantasy baseball tools we have over at Fantasy Alarm (like the MLB Vegas Odds) to help you cash those tickets. With that said, let’s take a look at today's MLB best bets! 

 

MLB Best Bets for August 26

Hyun Jin-Ryu, Toronto Blue Jays 

Under 2.5 Earned Runs (-140 DraftKings Sportsbook)

Ryu has been very good since making his season debut back on August 1st, having tossed 14 shutout innings over his last three starts. One of those starts came against these same Cleveland Guardians. In fact, Ryu had a no-hitter through four shutout innings before being removed after 52 pitches in just his second start of the season. The Guardians are one of the worst offenses in all of baseball and they really struggle against left-handed pitching. Lets ride Ryu here today in this matchup.

Julio Rodriguez, Seattle Mariners

Over 0.5 Stolen Bases (+380 DraftKings Sportsbook)

DraftKings is giving you almost 4-1 on your money today to take the over 0.5 stolen bases for Rodriguez which is a wild number considering the fact that over the last 15 days he leads baseball with eight stolen bases and over the last 30 days he is second in baseball with 12 stolen bases. Jordan Lyles is on the mound today for the Royals and it's unlikely that Lyles is the guy that keeps Rodriguez off the base paths today.
