Free MLB Picks & Predictions - Today's Best Expert MLB Bets (2024)

We are going back to the well here with the Guardians and yes, they've lost three straight but they have the man on the mound to stop the bleeding in Tanner Bibee. Bibee has been excellent over his last two straights giving up just one earned run and he should have no issues continuing his success against a Royals team he already faced earlier this month, giving up two runs. I expect the Guardians bats to come to life against Cole Ragans.

The Padres strike out at the lowest rate in the majors but the O/U on Tanner Houck's strikeouts total today is still too low at just 4.5. Houck was red-hot to begin the season and while he's cooled off a bit lately, he's still been reliable on the mound. Houck has fanned at least five batters in eight straight starts and he's averaging 6.3 strikeouts per start on the year. The right-hander doesn't have overpowering velocity but his slider and splitter have been a nightmare for opponents to make contact against.

Alvarez is 12th in the majors in total bases this year with 157 and while he started this season off a bit slowly, he's been on fire lately. The hard-hitting Houston Astros outfielder is slashing .354/.422/.747 this month and he has a great matchup today against New York Mets starter Tylor Megill. Megill has a 4.81 ERA through seven starts and ranks in the bottom 10th percentile in hard-hit rate and barrel rate. Alvarez has the platoon advantage in this matchup and it also helps that he's getting a stiff 17 mph breeze blowing toward the outfield at Citi Field today.

Henderson is second on the AL MVP odds board and he's third in the majors in total bases (194) while slugging .612. The rising superstar has been even better this month, slashing .352/.447/.676 through 26 games. The Rangers are sending Michael Lorenzon to the hill today. Lorenzon has a 3.04 ERA through 13 starts but his expected ERA is significantly worse at 4.49 and is more in line with his career numbers. The left-handed Henderson mashes against righties like Lorenzon, boasting a slugging percentage of .637.
