Baseball is back after a brief break, and we are gearing up for the pennant race and the trade deadline. Here are some of the best MLB betting picks and predictions for Friday.
In the game between the Cincinnati Reds and the Washington Nationals, all signs point to offense. With Frankie Montas on the mound for the Reds and Patrick Corbin pitching for the Nationals, the over 8.5 runs at -115 seems like a good bet.
Next, the Chicago White Sox will face the Kansas City Royals. The White Sox have been struggling, losing seven of their last eight games. Michael Wacha has been solid at home for the Royals, so taking the Royals -1.5 at +100 could be a smart choice.
Lastly, the Pittsburgh Pirates will take on the Philadelphia Phillies. The Phillies have been performing well offensively, while the Pirates have been struggling at the plate. With Aaron Nola on the mound for the Phillies, a single-game parlay with Trea Turner over .5 hits, Aaron Nola 4-plus strikeouts, Phillies moneyline at +111 could be a good option.
Overall, these are some of the best MLB betting picks for Friday. Keep an eye on these games and good luck with your bets!
