The San Diego Padres host the Milwaukee Brewers for the third game of a 3-game series! It's time to continue our MLB odds series with a Brewers-Padres prediction and pick. The Brewers evened the series yesterday after a huge home run in the 6th inning from Tyrone Taylor to essentially seal the victory. Corbin Burnes earned the win, but that was not…

We are less than two weeks into the 2023 calendar year, but we've got bold predictions of a litany of things that will go down in Major League Baseball over the course of the next 11.5 months. Most of our predictions are about things that will happen during the 2023 MLB season, of course. A breakout rookie. An unlikely MVP. A surprise AL West…

WASHINGTON - The Nationals face an uncomfortable reality they've been all-too-familiar with over the years: Stephen Strasburg is hurt again. He hit the IL on Tuesday for the 15th time in his career and fifth time over the last three seasons. It came after he missed the first two months of the season recovering from last summer's thoracic outlet…

The Los Angeles Dodgers and San Diego Padres will go head-to-head in an NLDS MLB Playoff matchup. The Dodgers and Padres have an NL West rivalry with one another, but LA has controlled most of their head-to-head matchups. As a result, Los Angeles enters this NLDS as the favorite. But can they take of business against San Diego? The Dodgers won 111…

The Hot Stove season this year is now be moving into a period of less signing and more speculation, and Philadelphia Phillies fans are just like all the rest. They get to speculate, and read other speculators' speculations, for several more weeks in all likelihood since most of the big-name free agents have been signed. This tends to be at least a…

Opening Day at Wrigley Field brings us the Interstate 94 rivalry. We like the Brewers to have their way with Chicago starter Kyle Hendricks and win as road favorites with the total going Over. Find out more in our Brewers vs. Cubs picks. The first game of the MLB regular season will feature the Chicago Cubs hosting the Milwaukee Brewers for a day…

The Milwaukee Brewers begin their quest for a fifth consecutive postseason appearance when they open the 2022 MLB season against the host Chicago Cubs on Thursday's Opening Day. Milwaukee made the playoffs in consecutive years just once before its current run that started with a division title in 2018. The Brewers also won the National League…

The Toronto Blue Jays have taken two of the first three games against the New York Yankees and will look to put an exclamation point on this four-game set in the series finale. Toronto hasn't exactly mashed its way to victory but has managed to win twice (as an MLB betting underdog) by keeping the Yankee bats silent, including getting by New York…

One of the biggest things that happened throughout the course of last MLB season was the fact that Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher and former NL Cy Young Award winner Trevor Bauer was suspended for 324 games, and that was reduced to 194 games by an independent arbitrator. What does that mean? Well, Bauer is now officially reinstated and can…

The Colorado Rockies have lost five consecutive road series and are one of only five MLB teams with fewer than ten road wins at this point of the season. But after picking up a solid series-opening win in San Francisco last night, Colorado is in position to wrap up a road series win tonight against the Giants. Last night, German Marquez picked up…

With MLB free agency winding down, the league is beginning to take shape. Some teams have drastically improved their chances of competing in 2023 based on swift offseason moves. The New York Mets just pulled off a stunner to land Carlos Correa after the shortstop had previously agreed to a deal with the San Francisco Giants. Other teams such as the…

It is typically considered poor etiquette to throw away a gift someone gave you, but that is exactly what the Milwaukee Brewers did last night in the opener of their series with the Miami Marlins. After the Cubs finished off their sweep of the Philadelphia Phillies, the Brewers had a chance to move ahead of the Phillies for the final NL wild-card…

The Dodgers are currently a -135 moneyline favorite, in a game with a total of 7.5. First pitch is scheduled for 9:45pm ET at Oracle Park in San Francisco, CA, with clear skies and 71-degree game-time temperatures in the forecast. LA, a top-two contender in the World Series odds, will give the ball to Andrew Heaney. The former Yankee has made just…

This past offseason was long and arduous, and at times, it felt like the odds of getting Opening Day in April - if at all in 2022 - were approaching slim-to-none. The season got delayed by a week and rain has pushed the Yankees' scheduled opener back to Friday, but nonetheless, we are indeed going to get a 162-game season! Somehow, it's still MLB's…

We're keeping track of all the latest free agent and trade rumors. The Braves (Dansby Swanson), Dodgers (Trea Turner), Red Sox (Xander Bogaerts) and Twins (Carlos Correa) have all lost star shortstops in free agency this offseason. Where might they turn for an external replacement? According to The Athletic's Ken Rosenthal (subscription required),…

One of the best rivalries in all of baseball will be renewed on Thursday night when the San Diego Padres open up a four-game set on the road against the Los Angeles Dodgers. The two teams come into the day separated by only 1.5 games for the top spot in the NL West Division. This weekend's four-game series could very well alter the outlook within…

Last year, Robbie Ray took the baseball world by surprise en route to winning the AL Cy Young. Could another left-handed pitcher come out of nowhere to take the trophy this year? As of now, the sportsbooks seem to think so since Shane McClanahan of the Tampa Bay Rays is the odds-on favorite to take home the prize. However, two-time winner Justin…

New York is coming off a 101-61 season and an appearance in a National League Wild Card Series against the San Diego Padres. The Mets won 24 more regular-season games in 2022 under first-year manager Buck Showalter than they did the year before under former skipper Luis Rojas. That raised expectations for 2023, and Mets owner Steve Cohen and…

The National League Cy Young race is shaping up to be the most hotly contested award race in the 2022 MLB season. With injuries to Jacob deGrom and more recently Max Scherzer, the Cy Young betting market is flush with opportunities. 2021 winner Corbin Burnes is the favorite as of now, but there is plenty of time for the cream to rise to the top as…

Article courtesy OddsShark ( @OddsShark) The Washington Nationals advanced to a National League Division Series for a matchup with the Los Angeles Dodgers after edging the Milwaukee Brewers 4-3 in Tuesday's Wild Card Game.

As Major League Baseball continues its All-Star break, we'll continue updating our looks at the season-long awards by turning our attention to the AL MVP race. Yesterday we looked at AL Cy Young and NL Cy Young races, in the hopes of finding betting values among the top contenders. The AL MVP race is one of the most intriguing awards of the season.…

There were 11 different players who received a contract of $100 million or more in free agency last offseason, led by Corey Seager who signed a 10-year, $325 million deal with the Texas Rangers. That list will likely be shorter this offseason, but there are still a number of high-profile players set to hit the open market, including New York…

The New York Mets host the Miami Marlins today in Game 3 of their four-game weekend series. The Mets came out of the gate hot and smoked the Marlins 10-0 in the opener, only to follow it up with a dud in Game 2. The Marlins are not a great team by any means, but the Mets have been struggling and are losing a lot of ground in the NL East race. Not…

The Mets have gone 10-8 in the 33-year-old Bassitt's outings this season, 12 of which have been of a quality variety. He was sharp early in the season - four of his first five turns were quality ones. And he's been even more filthy of late, spinning six straight quality performances. The former All-Star has gone 3-3 with a 2.43 ERA over that…

The 1998 Yankees are almost certainly the most dominant Yankees team that most of us will see in our lifetimes. Considering that most of us have also seen several other World Series -winning teams, and hopefully will again sometime soon, it's remarkable that they're so clearly ahead. Even as late as June and July, the 2022 Yankees were off to a…

With less than a month of baseball left in the 2021 season, the Milwaukee Brewers have several players who merit mention in the postseason awards. A Brewers pitcher hasn't won a Cy Young since Rollie Fingers and Pete Vuckovich won the American League awards in back-to-back years, in 1981 and 1982, respectively. Milwaukee doesn't figure to have a…

Reigning AL MVP Aaron Judge put an exclamation point on MLB's 2022 Winter Meetings with the largest free agent contract in MLB history, a nine-year, $360 million deal to remain with the New York Yankees through his age 39 season in 2031. As per MLBTR, "The $40 million average annual value on the contract establishes a new record among position…

Welcome to playoff baseball, where the "best" team wins the championship far less often than in other sports. To wit: According to Baseball Prospectus odds, no team in the 2021 playoff field has better than a 20 percent chance to win the World Series. With eight deserving teams ready to do battle, let's dive into the reasons each particular team…

The Milwaukee Brewers are set to host the Colorado Rockies today in the first matchup of a four-game series. With that said, it's a good time to check out our MLB odds series, which includes our Rockies-Brewers prediction and pick we have laid out below. This will mark the first of two series between Colorado and Milwaukee this season, with the…

The Reds, last in the NL Central every year from 2015 to 2018, began pushing their chips to the middle of the table with the trade deadline acquisition of Trevor Bauer in 2019. After the 2019 season, they added free agent infielder Mike Moustakas, outfielder Nick Castellanos, and Japanese import Shogo Akiyama. The moves resulted in the team's first…

The St. Louis Cardinals will look to stay on the winning track when they host the visiting Cincinnati Reds at 2:15pm ET Saturday in the middle game of a three-game series at Busch Stadium. The National League Central-leading Cardinals (33-26, 17-11 home) snapped a three-game losing streak by blanking the Reds 2-0 on Friday night in the series…

The 2022 MLB Winter Meetings officially got underway on Sunday night. Former Toronto Blue Jays slugger Fred McGriff was selected to the Baseball Hall of Fame, with names such as Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens missing the cut. However, the Hall of Fame isn't what gets baseball fans excited for the Winter Meetings. It's the flurry of trades, signings,…

One of the biggest rivalries in sports is renewed this weekend as the San Francisco Giants welcome the Los Angeles Dodgers to Oracle Park for a three-game series. This is the first series in San Francisco this season between the two longtime rivals. Last month, the Dodgers swept a two-game set against the Giants at Dodger Stadium. After seeing…

SAN DIEGO - Now that Jacob deGrom has used his opt-out to escape New York, let's flash forward 11 months when the Mets probably will be facing the same situation with Max Scherzer. If your first instinct is to think, why deal with that now when the deGrom pain is still fresh for the franchise and its fan base, then know this is a current issue for…

The Red Sox haven't made a move yet in free agency, but already the shell of a rotation is taking shape. James Paxton's somewhat surprising decision to exercise his $4 million option, along with the announcement that ace reliever Garrett Whitlock will shift to the rotation, provides some early clarity to a group that should still receive…

Losers of three straight, the Mets have seen their NL East divisional lead plummet to half a game over the Braves entering Sunday. With the Yankees coming into Citi Field on Tuesday, it would be reasonable to expect the Mets to be underdogs in both of those games this week. The Mets are still favorites on Sunday despite ice-cold bats and a big…

We gave out one pick, and it lost yesterday. I was confident the Giants bats would get to one of the worst pitchers in baseball, but instead, he shut them down. On top of that, the Reds ended up winning the game. While we have not had a good week, I'm very optimistic about today's slate. I see a lot of value on some road teams today, so let's kick…

We asked our writers to weigh in on their predictions, and we surveyed fans as well. Royals position player WAR leader: Whit Merrifield 47.7%, Adalberto Mondesi 30.6%,…

MLB free agency is typically dominated by the big market teams. But there tends to always be a dark-horse ball club or two that make noise. For example, the Minnesota Twins emerged out of nowhere to sign Carlos Correa last season. We could see multiple surprise signings occur during this offseason. The Baltimore Orioles have been rumored to have…

Coming off of the best two-start stretch of his MLB career, St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Miles Mikolas will duke it out with reigning NL Cy Young Award winner Corbin Burnes tonight as the Cards visit the Milwaukee Brewers.
