Free MLB Picks For Friday October 1, 2021

Reds vs. Pirates

BET: Pirates at the moneyline with Caesars (+150)

Strange things can and will happen this weekend, but as far as underdog wins go, this one isn't too far fetched. Luis Castillo will be on the mound for the Reds in his last start of a regular season that can only be described as a rollercoaster for the Cincinnati ace. Coming up against him will be Wil Crowe who has been costly as of late, but has been able to grind out wins, claiming two out of his last three starts. The Pirates can cause an upset on their home patch.

Red Sox vs. Nationals

BET: Total runs OVER 9.5 with Caesars (-106)

After a shock loss that badly hurts their Wild Card chances, the Red Sox will need to get out of the gates early tonight as they start their weekend against the Nats in Washington. Our projections have Boston coming out swinging as they take on a Nationals team that is averaging a 5.46 ERA collectively over their last ten games. It's now or never.

Indians vs. Rangers

BET: Total runs OVER 9 with Caesars (+100)

By far the bet of the night - there is just simply no way these two teams with these two pitchers produce anything less than a whole heap of runs in Texas. Indians' pitcher Eli Morgan (5.27 ERA) will tussle it out against Spencer Howard (9.17) in a game that should see bettors cashing this ticket early according to our projections.
