Sports Betting 101: How to use Dimers Quick Picks
Today's MLB best bets and odds are proudly brought to you by PointsBet Sportsbook.
White Sox vs. Cubs
BET: Total runs UNDER 9 with PointsBet (-106)
📈 54% probability
The series opener yesterday afternoon between the cross-town rivals did not disappoint with one of the games of the season seeing the White Sox prevail, but only just. Today, we've got two words for you: Carlos Rodón. The White Sox pitcher has been as stifling as they come this year with an ERA of 2.49 to go along with a Over/Under record of 5-12 in games he's appeared in. Not much gets by him and you can be sure that he'll turn things up a notch for the Cubbies. We've got this one going Under.
DIMERS' BET HUB: Chicago White Sox vs. Chicago Cubs betting predictions and picks
Twins vs. Astros
BET: Total runs OVER 9 with PointsBet (-110)
📈 53% probability
These two teams have flirted with the Over in the two games so far this weekend but have fallen short on both occasions. Expect that to change. The Astros continue to have the best run offense in the league, averaging 5.46 runs per game while the Twins have one of the worst defenses, allowing the exact same amount. The laws of probabilities says that it won't be long before we see a game in this series with a double-digit run total.
DIMERS' BET HUB: Minnesota Twins vs. Houston Astros betting predictions and picks
Giants vs. Brewers
BET: Milwaukee Brewers at the run line with PointsBet (+130)
📈 2.7% edge on the sportsbooks' odds
The Brewers were able to get the better of the Giants last night with a scrappy 2-1 win and it might be the start of a rough stretch this weekend for the team from the Bay. Star SF pitcher Anthony DeSclafani has been moved to the injured list with a shoulder which has put Aaron Sanchez into the starting lineup for the first time this year after a stay on the IL himself. Sanchez has only pitched five innings in a reliever role since his return, only managing two strikeouts in total. Our data projections has the Brewers taking advantage of San Francisco's vulnerability on their home turf.
