5 minMLB Best Betting Picks: Friday's Five Best Bets from oddschecker+ Trends Tool
Today, we will use our oddschecker+ Trends Tool to examine the five best prop trends. There is exciting action around the MLB, so let's focus on our new betting trends tool to hone in on the best props and picks.
1. Eugenio Suarez to Record an RBI (+210) Click here to see which sportsbooks have the best odds for this pick
The D-Backs third baseman has exceeded this number in five of his last 10 games. At this price of +210, we are getting tremendous value on Suarez.
The implied probability of an RBI is 32.26%, while our AI probability is 63.21%. The positive expected value of a Suarez RBI is a massive 95.95%, and we will be looking to cash in on that.
2. Alex Bergman to Record an RBI (+178) Click here to see which sportsbooks have the best odds for this pick
Bregman has been on fire lately. The future Hall-of-Famer is batting .340 in August, with five home runs and 8 RBIs.
Houston has been rolling lately, and now plays the worst team in baseball in the Chicago White Sox. I love the value of Bregman tonight and so does our tool, so let's hop on this plus-money prop.
3. Cal Quantrill Over 3.5 K's (+145) Click here to see which sportsbooks have the best odds for this pick
The Rockies starter has gone over this number in six of his last 10 starts. He faces a tough matchup against the Padres lineup, but he should be able to hit this line at home once again.
The implied probability of this prop cashing is 58.58% compared to the plus-money odds. This leads to a positive expected value on the over of 43.52%, and we are going to pounce on that.
4. Ha-Seong Kim Under 0.5 RBI (-194) Click here to see which sportsbooks have the best odds for this pick
This prop is juicy, but is worth the squeeze.
Ha-Seong Kim has not driven in a run in nine of his last 10 games, and we don't expect him to get one against Cal Quantrill tonight.
The expected value of this prop is 37.53%, and we'll look to cash in on this expensive yet effective bet in the Padres vs. Rockies matchup.
5. Los Angles Dodgers ML (-130) Click here to see which sportsbooks have the best odds for this pick
Our betting trends and Positive EV Tool both support this play tonight. The Dodgers have won six of their last 10 games, and will go for another win against the St. Louis Cardinals.
The expected value of a Dodgers win tonight sits at 25.67%, and we are going to back them on the road at Busch Stadium.
