Sports Betting 101: How to use Dimers Quick Picks
Today's MLB best bets and odds are proudly brought to you by PointsBet Sportsbook.
Reds vs. Phillies
BET: Total runs OVER 8.5 with PointsBet (-105)
📈 51% probability
We've got a really intriguing pitcher's match up to open up our slate of baseball for Sunday with Sonny Gray and Aaron Nola facing off. This will be the third time the two have matched up against each other on the mound over of team's last ten meetings against each other, dating back to 2019. Gray currently has the bragging rights over Nola, but the overall theme of when these two guys have faced the opposing offenses is that runs have flowed at a fairly steady pace.
With the Reds averaging a hefty 6.24 runs per game over their last ten overall, if the combined game total can get to around three or four runs by the end of the fifth inning, we'll be in a great place to cash the over as the bullpens open up.

Braves vs. Nationals
BET: Total runs OVER 9.5 with PointsBet (-115)
📈 56% probability
The Nats have been taking a pounding over the last few weeks, having won only one game from their last ten, while their combined ERA over their last five games sits at 7.51. The Braves took full advantage last night, putting 12 runs on Washington in a dominant display. We're not sure if today is the day the Nationals turn things around, but the pitching match up on both sides indicates that runs will be scored. Drew Smyly will be taking the mound for Atlanta, which does favor Washington who have been a little better against lefties than the right-handers recently. A few early runs could make this a game, or maybe Atlanta continue to pile them on.

Rockies vs. Giants
BET: Total runs UNDER 8 with PointsBet (-106)
📈 51% probability
The Rockies and Giants close out their four-game weekend series today and after a win last night, the typically leaky Colorado are putting out one of their most economical pitchers in Jon Gray to fight it out against one of San Francisco's best in Alex Wood.
We know what to expect from Wood who has a 9-3 starting record. We've got this one being a tough-fought battle that is going Under the total.
