Today's Best MLB Bets: Odds, lines, & picks for Friday

BetQL Five-Star Bet: White Sox ML (-105, BetMGM) vs. Orioles

The model is loving the White Sox today to get the win at home against Baltimore at a nice price of just -105 on the ML. The O's are sending Tyler Wells to the hill today in Chicago. In his last start, he yielded four runs on six hits through six innings in a loss to the Yankees while striking out six. Wells now holds a 3.27 ERA with 10 strikeouts through 11 innings, and with the recent call-up of top prospect Grayson Rodriguez, he could be sent back to the bullpen after this start if Kyle Bradish returns from injury.

As for the White Sox, they will be sending troubled starter Mike Clevinger to the mound. In his last start, he picked up the win despite giving up four runs on eight hits and two walks over 5.1 innings against the Pirates. He's now 2-0 with a 3.48 ERA, but don't let that fool you. That isn't reflected in his 1.55 WHIP or 9:5 K/BB ratio through 10.1 innings. He has gotten quite lucky and had great run support from his offense in both games.

Friday's top MLB player prop

Athletics SP James Kaprielian o2.5 ER vs. Mets (-125, BetMGM)

The Athletics are handing the ball to starter James Kaprielian for this game against the New York Mets, and it could get ugly if he continues pitching the way he has. In his last start, he took the loss, allowing seven runs on seven hits and three walks over 4.2 innings against the Rays. Kaprielian gave up five runs in five innings during his season debut against the Guardians, so he hasn't been able to keep opponents from cashing in. Let's hope his struggles continue so we can cash in as well.
