Here is what the data is telling us for today's MLB games ⏬
White Sox @ Yankees
BET: 🔥 Chicago White Sox at the run line with PointsBet (-110)
📈 55.0% probability
We took the White Sox at the moneyline in our daily picks yesterday against the Yankees and were bitterly disappointed as they fell short, but this team is not down and out. Gerrit Cole is taking the mound for the Yanks, and even though he is imposing as one of the best pitchers in the league, he's also coming off an embarrassing start against the Rangers earlier in the week that saw Texas claim a shock upset win. Chicago have a chance to capitalize. Our data projections anticipates this to be another close one with the White Sox sticking with New York right until the end.
But more than just that, when PointsBet is offering free bets like they are in the offer below, why wouldn't you take advantage!?

Astros @ Rangers
BET: 🔥 Houston Astros at the run line (-118) with William Hill Sportsbook
📈 53.0% probability
Some tasty odds are on offer here for the Astros to go big against Jordan Lyles (5.93 ERA) and the Rangers. Regular readers of this article and baseball fans already know that Houston are one of the best offense units in the league. Texas did manage to get a win in the series opener last night, but don't expect that to last. Our data projections expects a big showing coming.
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.

Rays @ Blue Jays
BET: 🔥 Total runs UNDER 9.5 with BetMGM (-112)
📈 56.5% probability
Both teams have been on a huge run of Overs that our data is expecting a regression based purely on probabilities and the high total set. All streaks must come to an end and DimersBOT says it happens tonight, detecting a big 6% edge on the sportsbooks' odds. We tend not to argue with DimersBOT too often.
