Best MLB Bets Today

Blue Jays vs. Yankees, 1:35PM ET

New York lost again yesterday. It was the 15th time that has happened in their last 19 games, and the pressure is starting to mount - and show - across the organization. Aaron Boone was emotive in his post-match press conference after Saturday's defeat, but will that evoke a response out of this stuttering offense? We're not counting on it, especially with Alek Manoah (12-6, 2.71 ERA) the guy on the bump for the Blue Jays. The DimersBOT is all over the plus money underdogs.

Reds vs. Pirates, 1:35PM ET

The not-very-good Mike Minor (1-10, 6.31 ERA) might actually have a chance at claiming a rare W today when he takes to the mound for the Reds, up against Zach Thompson (3-9, 5.51 ERA). While that win for Minor could happen, we're not brave enough to actually take Cincinnati, but we can count on some runs. Both pitchers are run machines, and the hitters on both teams should lap up the chance for some batting practice against these two. Expect the runs to come early, and often.

BET: Total runs OVER 8.5 (-104) is rated as a 52% chance, according to DimersBOT.

Brewers vs. Cubs, 2:20PM ET

The Cubbies have been one of the hottest teams in the MLB over the past two weeks an 8-2 record over their last 10 games, including two straight wins this weekend over Milwaukee already. They'll face their toughest test in all of those games this afternoon, however, with starting Brewers pitcher Brandon Woodruff in some good touch, having claimed the scalps of the Dodgers and Rays in his previous two appearances. We've got Milwaukee pulling one back to end the weekend.

BET: Brewers moneyline (-154)
