⚾ MLB Picks, Predictions & Best Bets Today, 8/9

The MLB predictions below are our top spots, but that doesn’t mean that they’ll be the only ones - be sure to always check in with our MLB expert picks. A few of the other series that are on our radar are Blue Jays vs. Phillies, Twins vs. Brewers featuring Jacob Misiorowski and the NL West rivalry of Dodgers vs. Diamondbacks. After all, it never hurts when we can have Shohei Ohtani as a strong option for MLB best bets today!

 

 

 

🔥 Braves vs. Yankees Best Bet: Cam Schlittler Over 6.5 K’s (-139 at Courtside Sportsbook)

The Atlanta Braves have been turning things around after a weird midseason slump and are one of the hotter teams out there, but the New York Yankees are doing the same. We saw Gerrit Cole rack up nine K’s en route to hitting over 1,000 with the team, so while it’s not the best matchup, we still love Cam Schlittler as part of our MLB best bets today.

In fact, we like the situation even more - the imperfect matchup is what is giving us this line rather than the 7.5 we often see for the righty. This is more about his stuff rather than the matchup, as he has a 30.8% K rate courtesy of his just-as-elite 34.8% chase rate. Those metrics are also why we’ve seen him have multiple outings with 12 or more K’s this year.

For the marquee matchup (other than Sunday Night Baseball), we love targeting it with our MLB best bets today by locking in Cam Schlittler over 6.5 strikeouts (-139 at Courtside).

 

 

 

🔥 Blue Jays vs. Phillies Best Bet: Jesus Luzardo Over 6.5 K's (-102 at Courtside Sportsbook)

You’ve seen us love our Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher K props, and we’re heading right back to it with one of their two premier lefties. We see some real value here because in a better matchup, we wouldn’t be getting this line/price. Toronto may not be directly perfect for strikeouts, but the matchup is still good enough to make the cut for our MLB best bets today.

That’s because the Blue Jays have the absolute worst wRC+ against left-handed pitching over the past month of the season at just 59. That’s absolutely dreadful, which should help Luzardo have another long outing; he just went a full eight innings in his last start. He’s already matchup-proof anyway, and he’s proved it against Toronto already!

The southpaw racked up eight K’s against them earlier this season, so we love adding to our MLB best bets today with Jesus Luzardo over 6.5 strikeouts (-102 at Courtside Sportsbook).
