Brit Devine's Rockies vs Marlins Best Bet: Fade Alcantara
By Brit Devine
Marlins starter Sandy Alcantara has started 11 games this season and has allowed AT LEAST two earned runs in EVERY game. He has also allowed at least three earned runs in his past NINE starts.
The Rockies have started to hit a little bit better lately and they should be able to find success against Alcantara, whose return from Tommy John surgery is going about as poorly as possible. The Marlins are forced to start him every time through the rotation, hoping he can turn his season around so that they can try to get some trade value for him in the next two months.
We nailed this prop in Alcantara's last start for 3 units and we're going big yet again, betting to win three units. Like the last time we took this bet, this is one of the best plays I have seen all season.
Pick: Colorado Rockies First 5 Innings Team Total Over 1.5 (-125)

Bet Labs' Guardians vs Yankees Best Bet: Few Runs Expected
By Bet Labs
"Weather Watch Unders" is a system built for MLB totals bettors who understand how environmental factors quietly shift run production. This approach keys in on games with moderate to strong winds — especially those blowing in or cross-field — paired with mild to cool temperatures, a known recipe for stifled fly balls and reduced scoring.
When totals open high, but tick down before first pitch, it signals sharp money reacting to these same weather cues. With home moneyline ranges excluding extreme mismatches, the model focuses on fairly priced contests where weather truly has a chance to swing scoring. Layer in the context of regular-season motivation and this strategy captures overlooked market inefficiencies in totals that have been inflated by prior offensive output rather than conditions on the field.
Overall, this system has a 7% ROI across 2,932 picks. This season, it is 61-35-2 (64%) with a 21% ROI.
Pick: Under 8 (-110)

Kyle Murray's Rangers vs Rays Best Bet: Back Mangum
By Kyle Murray
Jake Mangum got the call-up back to the Majors a few days ago, but early in the season, he was a hot hitter for the Rays.
He is a very low-strikeout hitter, so I love the under on his strikeout prop here. He has a sub-10% strikeout rate in 82 plate appearances this season.
Pick: Jake Mangum Under 0.5 Hitter Strikeouts (-125)
