⚾ MLB Picks, Predictions & Best Bets Today, 5/25

Holiday slates traditionally see books shade lines toward the public, which creates real value for sharp bettors willing to go against the grain. Memorial Day is no exception. The early afternoon wave gets going shortly, so be sure to also check out our MLB expert picks for even more MLB predictions for today. 

Tanner Bibee draws Washington in Cleveland, Nolan McLean faces Cincinnati in New York and Anthony Kay gets the Twins in Chicago. Deeper into the lineup there are starting pitchers with underlying metrics that make opposing hitter props worth targeting. So, let's get into our MLB best bets today for 5/25!

 

 

 

🔥 Rays vs. Orioles Best Bet: Shane McClanahan Over 5.5 Strikeouts (-115 at Novig)

There is zero time to waste with all-day action, not to mention the fact that we’ve got some picks for the earliest games of the day. The first of which is in Baltimore, where we will need the rain to hold out. It is very much looking like it’s going to, so we love starting our best MLB best bets today for today here.

After all, we just hit this exact pick in this exact matchup in McClanahan’s last start. That was a week ago to the day, and the O’s have gotten no better avoiding strikeouts against lefties. Frankly, they’re prone to strikeouts against any pitching, but over the past 6 weeks, they have a near-29% K rate vs. lefties.

With McClanahan being better than just the average lefty, he doesn’t even need a high pitch count/leash to hit the first of our MLB best bets today, which is on Shane McClanahan over 5.5 strikeouts (-115 at Novig).

🔥 Cubs vs. Pirates Best Bet: Ben Brown Over 5.5 Strikeouts (+116 at Novig)

Next up is the other earliest afternoon game and another one of the exact same prop picks. We know - there are no YRFI picks on our menu today! We see far more value here with the plus-money odds that the books are sleeping on a bit in our eyes. It’s our first time targeting the Chicago Cubs starter with our MLB best bets today, and it’s unlikely to be the last.

After starting the season in the bullpen, Ben Brown has gotten 3 starts. In each of the past 2, he’s hit over this prop, and again, we’re getting plus-money. Those 2 outings came against the Atlanta Braves and Milwaukee Brewers, who are far more difficult lineups to strikeout than the Pittsburgh Pirates.

Oneil Cruz and company have been getting rung up left and right recently (even Patrick Corbin just had 7 K’s against them), so we love Ben Brown over 5.5 strikeouts (+116 at Novig) as part of our MLB best bets today.
