As if having all-day Saturday baseball wasn’t exciting enough for having our MLB best bets today, it’s also a 4th of July slate! Even the east coast has AM baseball with an 11:05 first pitch in the nation’s capital, and not only is that fitting, but we’ve also got a series at the Great American Ball Park. The holiday slate also wraps up with two series in LA and others out west, so there are plenty of MLB picks to be had!

⚾ MLB Picks, Predictions & Best Bets Today, 7/4

Speaking of plenty of opportunities for MLB predictions today, be sure to check out our MLB expert picks for more than just what you’re about to see below. Along with the series that we noted above are key starters on the mound like Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Chris Sale and Jesus Luzardo. As we always say, let’s see if any of those guys made the cut for our MLB best bets today!

 

 

 

🔥 Pirates vs. Nationals Best Bet: Braxton Ashcraft Over 5.5 K's (-133 at Novig)

There is no time to waste when it comes to our first pick, as we’re heading to Washington for the aforementioned morning matchup! While fans of teams not involved in this game will be rooting for the Nationals purely for America's 250th birthday, we’re focused on the opposing pitcher. Don’t worry - we can cash our MLB best bets today and still be American.

Paul Skenes isn’t the only flamethrower in Pittsburgh, and along with his four-seamer heat, Ashcraft also has one of the best curveballs in baseball. It’s particularly filthy against lefties, which are the exact type of hitters that Washington relies on. While we love James Wood and company, this is also a line of 6.5 more often than not.

Having cashed that line in three straight starts, we’re leading off our MLB best bets today with Braxton Ashcraft over 5.5 strikeouts (-133 at Novig).

 

 

 

🔥 Rays vs. Astros Best Bet: Drew Rasmussen Over 5.5 K's (-138 at Novig)

Another starting pitcher that often has a strikeout line of 6.5 is the one for the Tampa Bay Rays tonight. We won’t have to rush as much to lock this one in when it comes to a later first pitch, but based on the odds, you’ll still want to. Perhaps it’s at 5.5 rather than 6.5 given how scary Yordan Alvarez is, but he’s still just one hitter.

As an entire lineup, the Houston Astros are actually one of the stronger matchups. That’s because Rasmussen is a righty, and against right-handed pitching, they have the eighth-highest K rate. Drew is coming off two starts with bad matchups, so we aren’t going to overreact - before those, he had K totals of seven, nine and 13 to start June!

Now it’s time to start July the same way while celebrating a holiday by cashing another one of our MLB best bets today with Drew Rasmussen over 5.5 strikeouts (-138 at Novig).
