After an absolutely loaded day on the diamond yesterday, it’s time for our transition day from the midweek series to the weekend ones. Of course, it’s far from completely empty, hence why we’re here with our MLB best bets today. Things started out hot in the afternoon for us with the Los Angeles Dodgers yesterday, and with more early action today, MLB picks are a must!

⚾ MLB Picks, Predictions & Best Bets Today, 5/7

The aforementioned hit for our MLB expert picks was with the Dodgers team total soaring over the 5.5 at plus-money by scoring 12 runs courtesy of Andy Pages smashing THREE homers! We were also able to cash another one of our MLB predictions with the Mets vs. Rockies YRFI courtesy of a Juan Soto home run.

As for today, we have a smaller 10-game slate that features eight of the midweek series wrapping up and two new ones getting underway. That would be the AL East rivalry of Rays vs. Red Sox, followed by Cardinals vs. Padres, and not only are they opportunities for MLB best bets today, but they’re also featured as an ESPN doubleheader!

That’s how the slate wraps up, but we’ve got mostly afternoon action on the diamond leading up to the weekend. It all starts in the AM for everyone other than those on the East Coast with Rangers vs. Yankees. It’s nonstop first pitches after that, so let’s dive into our MLB best bets for today!
 

 

 

🔥 Twins vs. Nationals Best Bet: YRFI - Yes Run First Inning (-107 at Novig)

We cashed our YRFI pick in Colorado last night with a leadoff homer, so why fight against a market that’s been working for us? This time, we’re heading to the nation’s capital for what you’ve seen us celebrate before - Jake Irvin Day. That’s just part of our MLB best bets today, as we may soon be making an SWR Day.

That would be Minnesota Twins starter Simeon Woods Richardson. Between those two starters and terrible bullpens, there’s a reason that this total is nearing double digits. Of course, we can’t worry about relievers here, but with Byron Buxton and James Wood at the top of these lineups, we love starting our MLB best bets today with Twins vs. Nationals YRFI (-107 at Novig).

🔥 Guardians vs. Royals Best Bet: Bobby Witt, Jr. Over 1.5 Total Bases (-127 at Novig)

After winning the first two games of this four-game series, the Kansas City Royals scored just a single run last night. That directly correlates to the performance of Bobby Witt, Jr. - he had a homer and two hits in the first two games and went hitless last night. As you can see, our MLB best bets today have him back in form.

Cleveland Guardians starter Slade Cecconi is coming off a game in which the Athletics recorded 10 hits against him (two homers to boot), and double-digit hits are something that he’s allowed in two of his last three starts. Additionally, the Guardians bullpen hasn’t been as trustworthy as it has been in the past few seasons.

Whether it’s a first-inning homer (perhaps another YRFI play) or it comes later, we’re adding to our MLB best bets today with Bobby Witt, Jr. over 1.5 total bases (-127 at Novig).
