Free MLB Picks for Thursday May 5, 2022

Reds vs. Brewers, 1:40PM ET

Milwaukee love dining out on bad defenses as of late and they look primed to make Cincinnati pay once more this afternoon. The Brewers have scored 10 runs or more in 3 of their last 5 games, including last night when they put 18 past the 3-20 Reds. With Hunter Greene (1-3, 6.00 ERA) on the mound for Cincy, it should be another high scoring blowout.

BET: Brewers -1.5 (-115)

Blue Jays vs. Guardians, 6:10PM ET

Cleveland are in good scoring form with an average of 6.25 runs in their last 4 games and they face a chance of a shooutout with their 23rd-ranked defense challenged with some tough work ahead of them trying to stop the bleeding with their starting ace Aaron Civale (0-2, 10.67 ERA) going through some hard times to start the year. The Blue Jays have been down on scoring lately, but they have the firepower to ignite at any time.

BET: Total runs OVER 7.5 (-120)

Twins vs. Orioles, 7:05PM ET

The Twins dropped one to the O's last night but they'll have a good chance to bounceback as they look to place further daylight between themselves and the White Sox and Guardians in the AL Central. Last night's blip aside, Minnesota are in hot form, winning 8 of their last 10 and won't lose two in a row to an inferior lineup.

BET: Twins moneyline (-132)
