Many people are waking up to the Sunday scaries right now but here on the MLB Best Bets my mind is going through all the potenital winners for the action today. I sound confident and maybe that's because between this article and the Underdog picks I am a sizzling 8-2 on picks for the week in baseball. Still chasing that perfect slate of betting though and maybe today just might be that day. We all know that sports betting is a humbling business though so I made sure to give Jobu his rum and hope that today is profitable across Money Lines, Run Lines, pitching props and team total runs! 

  • Friday’s Record: 3-1
  • Season Record: 22-14-0
  • Bankroll: +3.65 units

15 games and limitless wagers to watch, here is what I have put together to cap off the weekend this Sunday afternoon!

 

 

MLB Best Bets for June 11

Minnesota Twins at Toronto Blue Jays

This Sunday afternoon we get a matchup of two teams in the thick of things as the Twins and Blue Jays are treading water to stay over .500 into June of the MLB season. Luckily for the Blue Jays their ace is taking the mound and that has my attention on the betting front. Kevin Gausman has been lights out to say the least this season with an even better track record at home sitting with an ERA of 1.65 and has 62 strikeouts through 43.2 innings pitched. Overall he has only allowed 6 earned runs over his last 5 starts as well. The good times should keep rolling too and the Twins strikeout more than any team in the baseball this season at 10.26 times per game! Couple that with the fact they are a measly 15-18 on the road I am going to take the Blue Jays to win on the Run Line today and Gausman's strikeout prop at plus money. 

Pick: Toronto Blue Jays Run Line -1.5 (+100 on BetRivers)

Pick: Kevin Gausman Over 8.5 Strikeouts (+120 on DraftKings)

Kansas City Royals at Baltimore Orioles

I've been riding this Orioles wave most of this season and let me tell you I have loved every second of it! The hitters are looking good, the veteran pitching staff is dealing and now this team finds themselves 40-24 on the season and destroying preseason expectations. A matchup with the Royals this afternoon I believe keeps the good vibe train rolling too as the Orioles try to complete the sweep with Kyle Gibson and his 7-3 record takes on Carlos Hernandez who will be the opener for the Royals bullpen game. Gibson has a 3.38 ERA on home turf this season and is holding opponents to a .248 batting average, not too shabby. Then there's the offense behind him that is scoring 4.88 runs per game, which is the 7th highest rate in the MLB. Combine those two things and you're looking at an Orioles to win wager. I am not stopping there though as I am also going to tack on the O's to score over 4.5 runs as the Royals team ERA is 5.15 on the season and the Orioles implied run total is 5.4 for today's game and I think the books undercut the line by a bit!

Pick: Baltimore Orioles Money Line (-170 on Wynn Bet)

Pick: Baltimore Orioles Over 4.5 Team Total Runs (-140 on DraftKings)
