Today's MLB best bets and odds are proudly brought to you by PointsBet Sportsbook.
Mets vs. Pirates
BET: Total runs OVER 8 with PointsBet (+100)
📈 55.7% probability
The Pirates left their run late against New York last night when they piled on nine runs in the final two innings to claim an unlikely win with a walk off Grand Slam. Today will mark the seventh consecutive time these two teams have played against each other in recent days, which gives us a great indication of the trends worth sticking with. Four of the six games played have gone over the runs total, and our data is returning a very high degree of confidence that it will continue today.

Rangers vs. Blue Jays
BET: Total runs OVER 8 with PointsBet (-115)
📈 12.2% edge on the sportsbooks' odds
Our data projection model has identified one of the biggest edges we've seen here at Dimers, so naturally, we're curious. The starting pitcher matchup does look to be conducive to a runfest with Mike Foltynewicz and Steven Matz carrying large ERAs in the range of 5 into the game. Adding to that is Texas' form vs. lefties in their last 10 games, averaging 5.66 runs per game against left-handers compared with 3.20 against right handers.

Twins vs. Tigers
BET: Total runs UNDER 10.5 with PointsBet (-108)
📈 61.3% probability
Our trusty DimersBOT caps off yet another high confidence run total play when the Twins and Tigers meet up. Once again, it's the seventh consecutive game between the two teams to cap off the weekend series, and with Willy Peralta taking the mound for Detroit with an ERA of 2.08, we're expecting the runs to be tough to come by early in this one.
