Here is what the data is telling us for today's MLB games ⏬


 

Braves @ Nationals


BET: 🔥
Total runs OVER 8.5 with Unibet (-109)

📈 55.9% probability 

It's been over a week since the 'books have offered us a run total this low for an Atlanta game and our data projections says now is the time to pounce. Braves Overs have gone 17-10-1 so far this season and with the projected starting pitchers for both teams giving up a combined amount of 18 hits per 9 inning, there is going no shortage of scoring opportunities in this one.

Yo, Virginia! Unibet is now live in VA. Why is that good? Because they're giving you the best welcome offer we've ever seen! For a limited time, you can claim a $100 free bet with Unibet - no deposit required! That's right; just open an account get $100 of absolutely free money to bet with.

Don't miss out! Sign up with Unibet in Virginia today. Not from VA? That's ok. Unibet still offers free $20 bets to new customers in New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Indiana - no deposit required!

Brewers @ Phillies

 

BET: 🔥 Total runs OVER 8 (-111) with William Hill Sportsbook

📈 54.5% probability

With Chase Anderson pitching for the Phillies with a 5.40 ERA this season, our data is projecting Wednesday's game to go Over between two teams who have scored freely against each other already this week. 

Last night's game yielded 11 runs combined as hitters for both sides were able to apply runs in quick succession. The 8-run line here looks good for Over bettors.

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.

Blue Jays @ Athletics

 

BET: 🔥Blue Jays at the moneyline with BetMGM (+114)

📈 2.6% edge on the sportsbook's odds

Our DimersBOT likes another underdog on the road with Toronto coming up against the A's in Oakland. Blue Jays pitcher, Robbie Ray, is in top form and should do enough to get a W on the board for the Jays for the first time this series.
