Free MLB Picks for Friday July 22, 2022

Cubs vs. Phillies, 7:05PM ET

The Cubs went into the break with a confidence boost by beating the Mets on Sunday, but despite that result, the issues the Cubbies have with scoring is still a serious problem. Chicago have averaged just 2.61 runs per game over their last 10 outings - 9 of which were losing games before Sunday's triumph. If you can't score runs, that's a red flag if you're going to try and counteract this loaded Phillies batting lineup. 

BET: Phillies -1.5 (+146)

Angels vs. Braves, 7:20PM ET

The Angels will be hoping to reset after a miserable first half of the season, but their first up series against the defending champion Braves out of the All-Star break is a tough break for the Halos. Aiding them tonight will be the fact that Shohei Ohtani is on the mound. Ohtani has been dominant in his last couple of pitching starts, notching double-digit strikeout figures in each of his last four trips to the bump. They might not have enough to win the game, but this should be LA's best chance this series to keep things close.

BET: Angels +1.5 (-188)

Rockies vs. Brewers, 8:10PM ET

The Rockies return from their break with some momentum after a strong finish to the first half of the year, winning 7 of their last 10 games, while their opponents tonight in the Brewers are trying to regain some rhythm after losing 4 of their last 5 heading into the All-Star festivities. Unfortunately for Rockies fans, though, we think those positive vibes might be quickly dashed with a heavily weighted starting pitchers edge to the advantage of Milwaukee. The Brewers will send Corbin Burnes (7-4, 2.14 ERA) to the mound, while the Rockies will counter with Antonio Senzatela (3-5, 4.95 ERA). Senzatela has simply been to costly recently, giving up an average of 3 runs per start over his last 6. You just can't expect to win games against Burnes and the Brewers like that. Expect Milwaukee to coast.

BET: Brewers -1.5 (-126)
