Here is what the data is telling us for today's MLB games ⏬
Astros @ Blue Jays
BET: Total runs OVER 9.5 with PointsBet (+100)
📈 3.1% edge on the sportsbooks' odds
We featured these two in our daily picks yesterday as we had a feeling that two of the top three run offenses in the league would combine for runs, and combine for runs they did. 14 runs in total were scored last night, mostly by Houston who put on 13 of them. Our data is anticipating Toronto helping out a little more on the scoresheet today with another runfest on the cards.
But more than just that, when PointsBet is offering free bets like they are in the offer below, why wouldn't you take advantage!?

Twins @ Royals
BET: Royals at the moneyline with William Hill (+100)
📈 3.5% edge on the sportsbooks' odds
The Royals were dominant against the Twins last night, winning 14-5. With another chance to pile on the runs today, there's nothing that our data is seeing to indicate anything different happening tonight.
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.

Cubs @ Giants
BET: San Francisco at the run line with BetMGM (+115)
📈 2.9% edge on the sportsbooks' odds
Finally it looks like the baseball world is starting to take notice of the Giants who keep this hot streak going. They picked apart the Cubs for the second straight night last night and head into the third game of the weekend series with Kevin Gausman starting on the mound. You know what's impressive about him? He has a 6-0 record as a starting pitcher this season with an ERA of 1.40. This might get a 'lil ugly for the Cubbies.
