Free MLB Picks for Thursday May 26, 2022

Cubs vs. Reds, 12:35PM ET

Chicago and Cincinnati get things started in the early afternoon today, and while it was the Reds yesterday who were able to come away with the win, things don't bode well for them today. Hunter Greene (1-6, 5.49 ERA) will start on the mound for the Reds and Cincy haven't won in their last 7 games where Greene has started. That could be a problem for a Cubs team looking to exact some revenge after a down game yesterday.

BET: Cubs moneyline (-120)

Rockies vs. Nationals, 7:05PM ET

Two lousy defenses, two lousy pitchers. How can this game not end with like a million runs? The Rockies and Nats get their weekend series under way tonight, and there should be nothing less than a slugfest with Patrick Corbin (0-7, 6.60 ERA) up against Germán Márquez (1-4, 6.14 ERA). These guys are second-worst and fourth-worst in the MLB for opponent runs per game. All the signs are there.

BET: Total runs OVER 8.5 (-120)

Phillies vs. Braves, 7:20PM ET

The Phils are their own worst enemies right now. Another poor performance last night, highlighted by a bad error in the 5th inning, resulted in yet another loss; their seventh in their last nine games. The locals are getting impatient in Philadelphia, and we're projecting more pain with the Braves looking to make it three straight.

BET: Braves moneyline (-126)
