Here is what the data is telling us for today's MLB games ⏬
Giants @ Reds
BET: 🔥 Total runs OVER 8 with Unibet (-105)
📈 53.7% probability
The San Francisco Giants and Cincinnati Reds have played each other three times so far this season, with two of the games totalling just three runs each.
But it's the middle game of the three that has the attention of our model, when the Giants won 7-6.
If anything like that occurs again, we'll hit this bet with ease. And like we always say, who doesn't love rooting for the Over?!
Yo, Virginia! Unibet is now live in VA. Why is that good? Because they're giving you the best welcome offer we've ever seen! For a limited time, you can claim a $100 free bet with Unibet - no deposit required! That's right; just open an account get $100 of absolutely free money to bet with.

Mets @ Braves
BET: 🔥 Braves at the moneyline (-134) with William Hill Sportsbook
📈 57.6% probability
This Braves ML pick is becoming extremely popular in thes daily articles, but what can we say? When DimersBOT loves a team, DimersBOT LOVES a team
The almighty bot currently has the Atlanta Braves as the second most likely World Series winner in our MLB futures probabilities hub.
Another win here looks likely and even at odds around -130, this looks like a very tidy play.
For a play like this, it's hard to look past this offer from William Hill Sportsbook who are giving new customers in certain states a RISK-FREE bet up to $500 - see if your state is one of them here. Basically, you can deposit as much or as little as you like (we recommend around $50) and then place your bet on our play. If we get it right, you cash in! If not, that's okay - they'll give you your money back to use again on another bet.

D-Backs @ Dodgers
BET: 🔥 Arizona D-Backs at the run line with BetMGM (-128)
📈 59.3% probability
The D-Backs face division-rivals and reigning World Series champs, Los Angeles Dodgers, for the first time this season and our model as them making a game of it.
This doesn't always mean a whole lot but the only form we have to go off between these two sides is from Spring Training where Arizona covered the run line on both occasions.
