Ryan Minion's Mariners vs Tigers Best Bet
By Ryan Minion
Despite Keider Montero’s successes on the mound in 2026, I worry about his being able to consistently retire a Mariners’ lineup boasting tremendous versatility and contact rates throughout its entire batting order.
There are very often occurrences when the Tigers’ righty falls behind in the count, and as a result, throws his follow-up pitches over the center of the strike zone.
That said, this will most definitely not fare well against a Seattle lineup with great patience in the box and elite production from the middle of its order, featuring several heavy-contact hitters like Cal Raleigh, Randy Arozarena, and Josh Naylor, among others.
Not only does the Mariners’ lineup consist of many power-hitters, but they boast elite speed on the basepaths with superstar outfielder Julio Rodriguez and lefty lead-off hitter JP Rodriguez.
As a team, Seattle ranks inside the top-10 in the Major Leagues in both slugging percentage (SLG), total bases, and a number of other offensive categories.
In a game where the Mariners have a pitching edge and a superior lineup to that of the Tigers, I feel great backing Seattle on the moneyline.
Pick: Mariners ML (-140 or Better)

Tony Sartori's Royals vs Twins Best Bet
By Tony Sartori
Joe Ryan should pitch well against Kansas City, a team he has dominated throughout his career.
In 12 head-to-head meetings, Ryan is 8-2 with a 2.58 ERA and a 0.95 WHIP.
Meanwhile, the clear hitting advantage goes to Minnesota.
Entering this game, the Twins rank ahead of the Royals in runs scored per game, on-base percentage, slugging percentage, and OPS.
Pick: Twins ML (-160 or Better)

Matt Trollo's Rays vs Marlins Best Bet
By Matt Trollo
The Marlins have committed to a bullpen game on Saturday. What does that mean? We never exactly know.
As a group, said bullpen has the 12th-best estimators in the majors over the last month (3.90 FIP/3.93 xFIP/3.59 SIERA), while Sean projects them as his fourth-best bullpen with a 3.51 weighted FIP.
That’s at least comparable to Shane McClanahan, who has returned from two full seasons lost to Tommy John surgery to pitch…adequately?
With a career low, but still above average 15.3% K-BB, a 39.6% HardHit, but 9.4% Barrels/BBE, and non-FIP estimators ranging from a 3.38 dERA to a 4.04 Bot ERA, there’s no other way to put it (we omit the FIP with just two of 14 barrels going for home runs).
Assuming the standard Miami lineup against LHP, they have an 85 wRC+ against pitchers from that side since last year and just an 87 wRC+ over the last 30 days overall. I certainly award that edge to the Rays.
However, the Marlins also project six FRV and two BRR gaps in their favor, along with a better bullpen than a Tampa Bay unit with the fifth-worst estimators over the last 30 days, and whom Sean ranks a bit better, but still just 15th, 11 spots behind his Miami ranking.
With Gusto and Phillips eating 6 2/3 innings on Friday, unless the Marlins are planning on chucking only their low-leverage relievers on Saturday, the Rays appear to be over-priced.
The F5 line (currently +136 best price) is fine too and larger than the full game offering, but won’t afford you the advantageous matchup against the Tampa Bay pen.
Pick: Marlins ML (+110 or Better)

Evan Abrams's Red Sox vs Yankees Best Bet
By Evan Abrams
This game triggered one of our Action PRO betting systems:
The Revenge Spot Favorites system in MLB moneyline betting backs strong teams that recently lost to the same opponent by a narrow margin.
These are teams with winning records, solid average margins of victory, and a moderate level of market favorability.
The setup looks for clubs in a groove — on a defined home or away stretch — deep enough into the season to have established identity and motivation.
When these teams re-enter a matchup after dropping the previous head-to-head by just a few runs, they often carry added focus, especially when still priced as the better team.
This system leans into that bounce-back edge where both form and motivation align.
The Yankees dropped Game 1 of this series last night, 5-3. But they should have a solid starting pitching advantage on Saturday with Will Warren facing off against Ranger Suarez. Plus, they should have a bullpen advantage, as the Red Sox used a few of their highest-leverage relievers in the win, while the Yankees got to rest David Bednar, Fernando Cruz, and Brent Headrick.
Pick: Yankees ML (-140 or Better)

Sean Zerillo's Brewers vs Rockies Best Bet
By Sean Zerillo
I project some value on the Under in this matchup.
While the consensus line sits around 10.5 runs, I only project this total at 9.4 runs, providing a nearly 6% edge against the market.
As a reminder, you can see all of Zerillo's MLB game projections with an Action PRO Subscription. Find his projected lines every day on the PRO Projections tab.
I'd bet this total down to 10 at -115 or better.
Pick: Under 10 (-115 or Better)

Matt Trollo's Angels vs Dodgers Best Bet
By Matt Trollo
The Dodgers scored only a single run in the ninth inning on Friday night, which was enough to walk off the game.
I don’t expect them to have a similar problem against Jack Kochanowicz on Saturday.
Kochanowicz is running a measly 3.8% K-BB with a 42.6% HardHit. Even with a 57% GB, he doesn’t have an estimator below 4.5, with all but a 4.59 dERA within half a run of his 5.23 ERA. Batters from either side of the plate have smoked him for better than a .350 xwOBA since last season.
A nearly full-strength Dodger lineup is averaging a 119 wRC+ over the last 30 days and a 134 wRC+ against RHP since last season.
But wait, there’s MORE!
The Angels are one of the worst defensive teams in the league, with the projected lineup accumulating -16 FRV. Their bullpen has the league’s worst xFIP (5.19) over the last month and a FIP that’s even worse (5.21).
Act now, and you also get a positive run environment (104 PRF) with a moderate wind blowing out to center field.
It’s a large number, but the Dodgers should be up for it in one of the most favorable matchups an offense could ask for in this league.
Pick: Dodgers TT Over 5.5 (-120 or Better)
