Phillies vs. Cubs
BET: Total runs OVER 8 with PointsBet (-105)
📈 51% probability
The Phillies and Cubs have beaten the living hell out of each other this week, and as we come to the fourth and final game of this midweek series, the previous three games have seen the two teams combined for an average of 17.3 runs per game. We only need the 9 today for our bet to cash, and our data sees that as being no problem with a favorable pitching matchup. Let the runs flow.

Tigers vs. Twins
BET: Total runs UNDER 10 with PointsBet (-110)
📈 56% probability
The Twins are going through a little rough patch here when it comes to scoring. In their past ten games, Minnesota are only averaging 4.20 runs per game with a hitting average of .237. Our data projections is expecting a relatively low scoring game in this one with the 10 run total being a little too much to ask.

Nationals vs. Padres
BET: Padres at the moneyline with PointsBet (-133)
📈 58.7% probability
Okay, so there's a little bit of juice on the odds of this pick, but not enough to deter us from the fact that we can make a nice profit when Yu Darvish takes to the mound for San Diego tonight. Darvish has a 7-3 starting record so far this season and while Max Scherzer will be going for the Nationals, Washington are also one of the league's worst run offense teams coming up against the league's best defense. We've got the Padres cashing this one.
