Pick #1 – Colorado Rockies at Pittsburgh Pirates

Fresh week equals a fresh start and what a perfect way to kick off the next 7 days then with some MLB baseball betting and tonight we set our sights on the Colorado Rockies (41-24) versus the Pittsburgh Pirates (28-35) and we get one of the premiere teams in league against a team that has been picking up some offensive steam lately. This bet is favorable from out the gate as the opening line on the total of 8.5 has now swung a half point up to an 9 in large part to early smart money action spilling over to one side of the bet which we will gladly ride the wave of. Were getting all the right indicators for this game and that is highlighted by stats such as the total has gone OVER in 5 of Pittsburgh's last 7 games and that the total has gone OVER in 4 of Pittsburgh's last 6 games when playing Colorado giving us not only a situation specific play but also a streaking trend that should easily propel us to OVER the combined number mark we are trying to hit. The public consensus for this game is 75% in favor of the over so it will be interesting to where this bet ultimately winds up. The Colorado Rockies put up 5.26 runs this year per game on average and the Pittsburgh Pirates put up 4.22 runs on the year as a per game average so we get our favorite betting spot to be in where just the basic averages get us to where we need to go. The weather at PNC Park is looking like 86°F with a Humidity of 47%, a Cloud Cover of 30% and a Wind blowing 9 mph SW giving us a great weather scenario where the hitting should really be able to thrive. Another really favorable part of this UNDER bet is the fact that the Pirates have an extremely questionable closing staff which should go along ways towards a few extra runs being picked up by such and offensive powerhouse. One of the best parts of this pick is that we get Jameson Taillon (R) pitching who should not only be rusty coming off an injury but pitched some of his worst baseball his last healthy month collecting a 10.80 ERA for May. We also get starting pitcher Kyle Freeland (L) pitching who has a 3.18 ERA on the road so a decent amount of Pirates runs should be inevitable as well. The computer predicted score for this matchup is 10 so the OVER 9 play gets all the right leans and we even get a huge approval from the AI predictor and at a -110 juice we should be super happy to lock in this nice value in this spot for all of the reasons above.

Pick #1 – Colorado Rockies at San Diego Padres​

TGIF and there will be plenty of MLB baseball to kick off the weekend as we set our sights the Colorado Rockies (34-22) versus the San Diego Padres (22-33) pitting a very good team against one that has been playing strikingly better as of late. This pick jumps off the page with all the right signals of a strong bet as the opening line on the total of 8 has now shifted a half point down to an 8 thanks to an early smart money push which we will confidently tail the steam on and grab some nice value on the UNDER play. Were getting all the right indicators for this game and that is highlighted by stats such as the total has gone UNDER in 6 of San Diego's last 7 games and the total has gone UNDER in 4 of San Diego's last 5 games at home and the total has gone UNDER in 6 of San Diego's last 8 games when playing Colorado giving us a very situation specific play as well as nice overall trends that should bring our wager to the winning UNDER side given recent and historical circumstances. The public consensus for this game is 87% in favor of the over so we get the nice general consensus and public fade that we always like to have on our side in this one as well. The Colorado Rockies put up 5.04 runs on average this year and the San Diego Padres put up 3.45 runs on average during the year so we will rely on the weak offense of SD and Colorado being in a tough hitters park on the road to get us where we need to go with this pick. The weather at PETCO Park is looking like 80°F, Mostly Sunny with a Humidity of 63%, and Winds blowing at WSW 7 mph giving us a weather scenario where the hitting should really be slowed down given the perfect pitching conditions. Another really favorable part of this UNDER bet is the fact that the Rockies have an elite closing staff which should go along ways towards the later inning runs being shut down. One of the best parts of this pick is that we get a German Marquez (R) pitching who has absolute lock down pitching on the road with a 1.06 ERA. We also get starting pitcher Clayton Richard (L) pitching who has been pitching solid lately with a 4.36 ERA in May giving us two pitchers who should be able to keep the score low enough to hit the UNDER. The computer predicted score for this matchup is 7.5 so the UNDER 7.5 play gets all the right leans while agreeing with the AI predictor and at a price of -105 juice we should be super happy to grab a bunch value in this spot for all of the reasons above.
