Best MLB Bets Today (Orioles vs. Dodgers Bet to Transfer)

We both cashed in our Walk-off Wagers yesterday, and both were in plus money. Let’s see if we can keep it up today!

We get creative with our first bet to find a certain value, and then we bet that the Bats will come out on top again tonight in Los Angeles.

Let’s have some fun! All the odds according to DraftKings.

Texas Rangers at Chicago White Sox Neither team scores 6+ runs (+110)

This is a somewhat bold and creative choice considering White Sox pitcher Nick Nastrini has an 8.39 ERA this season, but there are a few reasons why I’m willing to take this bet.

Nastrini’s home ERA is just 3.77, and the Texas Rangers are averaging just 3.96 runs per game in August (26th). The White Sox’ bullpen is also one of the worst in MLB, with a 5.85 ERA this month. Still, this Texas team has been sluggish, scoring six or more runs in just three of their last 15.

Nate Eovaldi is starting for Texas. He has a 3.79 ERA this season. And while he’s struggled a bit since the All-Star Break, he shouldn’t have too much trouble with a White Sox club that is averaging just 3.22 runs per game this month (ranked 29th).

The White Sox have scored 6+ runs just twice in the last 15 games.

Orioles at Dodgers more than 9.5 runs (+100)

Yes, that is a high number, but last night there were 10 in total and we have reason to believe the bats will come out again tonight.

The Orioles start left-hander Cade Povich with a 6.10 ERA this season and a max exit velocity allowed in the bottom 10% of the league.

That could spell trouble against a Dodgers lineup that ranks in the MLB’s Top Six in batting average, slugging and ISO against lefties. Los Angeles also has the second-best OPS against lefties, and Povich’s 4.62 walks per nine suggests that trend will continue for the Dodgers.

Baltimore’s relievers have the sixth-highest ERA this month (4.97) and are also allowing the sixth-highest SLG to their opponents.

The Dodgers are averaging 5.02 runs per game this month and 5.00 runs per game at home this season.

On the other hand, the Dodgers will start Bobby Miller. Miller has a 7.49 ERA this season, and his exit velocity, hard-hit rate, xBA, and xSLG all rank in the bottom 2% of MLB. His last start was quality, but this Orioles offense isn’t going to die anytime soon.

The weather should be similar to last night in Los Angeles, with winds gusting to around 9.2 miles per hour, which should favor the hitters for this matchup.

The Orioles’ game totals (73-52-9) have been higher than normal 58.4 percent of the time this season, the highest percentage in MLB.

In 53.1% of the cases (69-61-3), the Dodgers’ totals exceeded this.

The odds of winning are updated periodically and may change.
