MLB Betting: Tuesday Best Bets

Previous article 4-0 +3.78

Overall 89-72-1 +4.80

Well, going the route of full game team picks worked out as the picks went 4-0 and only had one close game.

Oakland A's at Chicago White Sox   8:10 PM ET

Chris Bassitt vs. Reynaldo Lopez

Huge pitching mismatch with Bassitt vs. Lopez and we get the A's at a relatively short number. The A's are firing on all cylinders on offense and should be able to get to Lopez early and often.

BET – A's -0.5 runs F5 (+110) for 1 RW buck

Colorado Rockies   vs. San Diego Padres   8:40 PM ET

German Marquez vs. Matt Strahm

I have been taking the Rockies at home when the pitching matchups are relatively even, but now we get Marquez vs. Strahm in which the Rockies should be able to jump out to an early lead.  I really think the moneyline value on the Rockies is huge tonight as the game total is a whopping 12.5 with their ace going.

BET – Rockies -0.5 F5 (+100) for 1 RW buck

BET – Rockies over 3.5 total runs F5 (+110) for 1 RW buck

San Francisco Giants   vs. New York Mets   9:45 PM ET

Logan Webb vs. Marcus Stroman

I wrote about the Mets woes in August yesterday and they lost again. There's a huge edge for the Giants here at home and the Mets on the road. I have been on Webb for the last month and will go back to him again in this spot with a Mets lineup that is struggling to hit and gets no help in the ballpark. This is a very difficult spot for the Mets to be able to string together runs and the under 0.5 on Webb allowing a homerun is -170.

BET – Mets under 3.5 runs (-115) for 1 RW buck
