Free MLB Picks for Wednesday May 18, 2022

Giants vs. Rockies, 3:10PM ET

After 13 runs in the Game 1 of this series on Monday, followed by 17 runs in Game 2 last night, is it any wonder which bet we're taking this afternoon? yesterday's 10-7 win by the Giants makes that 8 consecutive games on the Over for the Rockies who rank second last in opponent runs per game. San Francisco will get yet another chance to spread their wings and fly with left-handed Kyle Freeland (1-4, 4.91 ERA) on the mound for Colorado. San Francisco, already the second-best offense in the MLB by way of runs scored per game, fare even better when it comes to facing lefties so far this season than they do right-handers. 

BET: Total runs OVER 11 (+100)

Reds vs. Guardians, 6:10PM ET

The much-improved Reds made yet another stride on their road to redemption for a slow start to the year, picking up a pretty stoic extra-inning win over the Guards on the road last night. With another game ahead of us this even, Cincinnati have another great chance to go close to challenging Cleveland - but with the form of the two starting pitchers, as well as a penchant for both run denfeses to get a little careless, the stars are aligning here for a slugfest.

The Guardians will send Cal Quantrill (1-2, 3.93 ERA) to the mound, while the Reds will counter with Tyler Mahle (2-4, 5.89 ERA). Quantrill has now gone four consecutive starts allowing 3 runs or more while he's been out there, while Mahle has been one of Cincy's least efficient aces, giving up runs in every single one of his eight starts on the hill.

BET: Total runs OVER 7.5 (-115)

Yankees vs. Orioles, 7:06PM ET

Gerrit Cole is getting the start for the Yanks, and you don't mess with Gerrit Cole. We place a lot of emphasis on those starting pitchers here at Dimers because getting off to a good start is so damn. important. The Yankees have won in 6 of 7 games where Cole has started this season. Keeping the runs down and allowing the New York hitters to blast off in those opening innings will immediately put these O's on the back foot.

BET: Yankees -1.5 (-145)
