Free MLB Picks for Monday April 18, 2022

Giants vs. Mets, 7:10PM ET

This series is going to be gooooood. The Giants are continuing to roll with five straight wins and a starting pitching rotation that is breaking franchise records for just how measly they've been with runs. The 'books continue to underestimate them, too, ranking them as underdogs for tonight's opener. We love the Giants, and we will keep riding.

BET: Giants moneyline (+102)

Pirates vs. Brewers, 7:10PM ET

Don't look now but the Pirates have had a pretty nice week! They've won 4 of their last 5 games to move to a 5-4 record with another great chance to keep the momentum going against the Brewers and Eric Lauer who looked a little rusty in his season starting debut against the Orioles last week. If Pittsburgh can exploit the lefty in the early innings, they might be able to keep things close.

BET: Pirates +1.5 (-130)

Do you think the Pirates can keep up their hot form? Then this might be the PERFECT game to use the BetMGM Bet $10, Win $200 if there's a HR promo on. Click ➡️ here ⬅️ to get it!

Braves vs. Dodgers, 7:10PM ET

Clayton Kershaw made waves six days ago when he was pulled after 7 innings on the cusp of a perfect game. Preservation was the official line from Dodgers manager Dave Roberts, and it might be a masterstroke with a grudge match against the Braves tonight. For Atlanta, they've had some issues with scoring as of late, averaging just 2.6 runs per game over their last five. With Kershaw in form, putting up a competitive total will be difficult. We've got this one staying under.

BET: Total runs UNDER 8.5 (-120)
