Orioles at Marlins picks and predictions

Prediction

Orioles 5, Marlins 4

Moneyline

BET ORIOLES (-140).

While the Orioles are just 3-7 in their last 10 games, they are 3-2 in their last 5. They have scored 6 or more runs in 3 of their last 5 and face Cabrera, who has struggled this season with a 7.36 ERA. While McDermott is unproven, he has an opportunity to start his MLB career off on a high note against a Marlins team that is 21-33 at home this season.

Run line/Against the spread

PASS.

The moneyline is the safest play in this matchup.

Over/Under

BET OVER 8.5 (-115).

The Orioles have hit the Over in 4 of their last 5 games, while the Marlins have hit the Over in 3 of their last 5. Miami has hit the Over in 7 of its last 10 games and allowed 6 or more runs in 5 of its last 10.

Season series: Marlins lead 5-4

The Mets offense had 8 hits on Sunday but could only manage 2 runs in a 4-2 loss Sunday. The Mets are now 24-22 on the road and 47-51 against the spread (ATS).

Mets at Marlins projected starters

LHP David Peterson vs. RHP Yonny Chirinos

Peterson (4-0, 3.09 ERA) makes his 9th start. He has a 1.42 WHIP, 3.9 BB/9 and 6.6 K/9 in 43 2/3 IP.

  • Last start: Win, 6 IP, 0 ER, 4 H, 3 BB, 5 K in 7-0 victory against the Washington Nationals on July 11

Mets at Marlins picks and predictions

Prediction

Mets 5, Marlins 2

Moneyline

PASS.

Surprisingly, the Marlins have played the Mets tough, but New York will even their series on Monday evening. As confident as I am, I’ll stay away from the Mets (-172) moneyline and look to the run line.

Run line/Against the spread

BET METS -1.5 (-106).

Peterson has been lights out since rejoining the Mets rotation in late May. He is 1-0 with a 2.16 ERA in July and he hasn’t allowed more than 2 ER in any of his last 5 starts. Peterson may have struggled a bit in his 1st start against the Marlins in 2024, but got the victory.

The Mets have hit better on the road than at Citi Field this season, batting 30 points higher.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 8.5 (-105).

The Under has hit in 3 of the last 4 matchups between these 2 teams.

The Under has also hit in Peterson’s last 2 starts. He has allowed just 13 runs in his last 38 2/3 IP (less than 2 runs per start) since the start of June.

The Marlins have been Under in 3 of their last 4 games. Chirinos is 2-2-1 against the Over in his last 5 starts.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Miami Marlins (33-63) welcome the New York Mets (49-46) to loanDepot park Friday to open a 4-game series. First pitch is set for 7:10 p.m. ET (ESPN+). Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Mets vs. Marlins odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Tied 3-3

The Marlins avoided a 3-game sweep with a 3-2 win at the Cincinnati Reds in their series finale Sunday before the All-Star break. Miami also snapped a 5-game losing streak with the victory. The Marlins are 3-5 in their last 8 games, 18-31 at home this season, and 42-54 against the spread (ATS) overall. Miami has allowed at least 6 runs in 4 of its last 5 games.

The Mets, who are 23-20 in away games, have surprisingly been better on the road than at home this season. They’re coming off an 8-5 home loss to the Colorado Rockies Sunday, snapping a 5-game winning streak. New York has won 7 of its last 9 games and is 4-2 ATS in its last 6.

Mets at Marlins projected starters

LHP Sean Manaea vs. RHP Edward Cabrera

Manaea (6-3, 3.46 ERA) makes his 19th start. He has a 1.21 WHIP, 3.7 BB/9 and 9.0 K/9 in 96 1/3 innings.

  • Last start: Win, 7 IP, 3 ER, 5 H, 1 BB, 9 K in 7-6 home victory over Rockies July 12
  • 2024 away splits: 3-0, 2.44 ERA (44 1/3 IP, 12 ER), 1.23 WHIP, 1 HR, 7.5 K/9 in 8 starts

Mets at Marlins picks and predictions

Prediction

Mets 6, Marlins 3

Moneyline

PASS.

There’s not great value here. The Mets’ moneyline is the stronger bet and could be worth consideration; however, the better play is for the road side’s spread.

The Marlins are too risky to play given that their starting option has struggled at home.

Run line/Against the spread

BET METS -1.5 (+114).

The Marlins have struggled to win at loanDepot park, but as home underdogs, they have also struggled to cover. They are 17-16 ATS as home underdogs, which sits in the bottom-3rd of MLB. Miami is just 19-30 ATS at home and 1-5 ATS in its last 6 games.

The Mets have won 5 of their last 6 games and covered the spread 4 times over that span. New York is 23-19 ATS on the road, which ranks in the top half of the league. With those trends in mind, take METS -1.5 (+114).

Over/Under

BET OVER 8 (-110).

The Mets have scored at least 6 runs in 5 of their last 6 games and exactly 7 runs 4 times over that span. New York has gone Over in 5 of its last 7 games and is 51-41-3 O/U on the season.

The Marlins are 51-44-1 O/U on the season and have topped the projected total while allowing 6 or more runs in 4 of their last 5 games. They have scored well, too, putting up at least 3 runs in 4 straight.

With that in mind, take OVER 8 (-110).

Miami Marlins at Houston Astros odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Thursday’s Miami Marlins at Houston Astros odds and lines, with MLB expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Miami Marlins (32-60) and Houston Astros (48-44) meet Thursday as they cap off a 3-game series. First pitch at Minute Maid Park will be at 8:10 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Marlins vs. Astros odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Houston leads 2-0

Miami dropped the 1st 2 games of this series and is just 2-7 across its last 9 outings. In 2 games in Houston, the Marlins have had just 4 at-bats with a runner in scoring position.

The Astros banged out 13 hits in a 9-1 Wednesday triumph over the Fish. Since June 29, Houston has averaged a robust 6.64 runs per game.

Marlins at Astros projected starters

RHP Roddery Munoz vs. TBD

Munoz (1-3, 5.48 ERA) is making his 9th start. The rookie has a 1.47 WHIP, 4.9 BB/9 and 8.1 K/9 in 44 1/3 IP.

  • Last outing: No-decision, 4 IP, 2 ER, 4 H, 4 BB, 2 K in 3-2 home loss vs. Chicago White Sox Friday
  • Has walked 10 batters over his last 14 2/3 IP
  • Never faced Astros before

The Astros had not yet announced a starter, but RHP Jake Bloss (0-0, 4.91 ERA) is expected to make his 2nd start. The 23-year-old rookie allowed 2 earned runs on 6 hits and 1 walk with 2 K’s in his MLB debut, a 14-11 home victory vs. the Baltimore Orioles June 21.

  • Was placed on IL June 22 with shoulder injury
  • Rehab start with Triple-A Sugar Land: No-decision, 4 IP, 0 R, 1 H, 0 BB, 3 K in 9-7 home loss vs. Round Rock Saturday
  • Threw 55 pitches in rehab start and would figure to be under tight restriction Thursday

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Marlins at Astros picks and predictions

Prediction

Astros 4, Marlins 3

Moneyline

HOUSTON (-190) has not lost at home since June 15 (8-0), and the Astros are 5-1 in their last half-dozen games against Miami.

The Marlins have averaged just 3.48 runs per game, and analytics would make the case they have been deserving of a lower average still.

The pitching in this one makes for a big question mark (consider a partial-unit play to account for added uncertainty), but the Houston bullpen has been logging solid metrics of late and the Astros have won 4 straight series finales.

BACK THE ASTROS (-190).

Run line/Against the spread

Miami has played in a slew if 1-run games. This contest has an Under lean, and the projected tightness works against the grain of an Astros-minus-1½ play. STEER CLEAR.

Over/Under

Look for the bullpens to loom large in this one, and the expected-vs.-actual assessments of both are solid.

BACK THE UNDER 8.5 (-105).

Marlins at Astros picks and predictions

Prediction

Astros 6, Marlins 4

Moneyline

Lots of juice drowning out profit potential here. PASS.

Run line/Against the spread

Houston is 3-1 over its last 4 games against Miami, and the Astros have scored 6-plus runs in each of those wins. They’re the better club and are in better form heading into this series.

The Fish are 1-3 across their last 4 series openers. Houston is 4-1 over its last 5 lid-lifters.

TAKE THE ASTROS -1.5 (-102).

Over/Under

The total has gone Over in 5 of Miami’s last 7 games. The Over has cashed in 7 of Houston’s last 10 games. And in series meetings, the Over is 6-3 across the last 9.

With some all-around fade of the pitching and a healthy dose of respect for a Houston club that has found its way to a high-contact .811 OPS since June 19, BACK THE OVER 8.5 (+104).

The White Sox are a mere 9-35 on the road this season and have lost 3 of their last 4 games.

Red Sox at Marlins picks and predictions

Prediction

Red Sox 7, Marlins 6

Moneyline

PASS.

I like Boston to pick up the win here as the Red Sox are the better team and as they have won 4 straight on the road, but they are not worth the risk of betting on as -160 favorites. Bet on the run line and/or total instead.

Run line/Against the spread

LEAN MARLINS +1.5 (-125).

Miami has kept things very competitive with Boston, being 3-2 in the last 5 meetings and 4-6 in the last 10. Combine that with Boston being 6-4 in its last 10 overall while Miami is 4-6 in its last 10 outings, and I expect a competitive game from the Marlins here.

This is a very slight lean because both teams are below .500 ATS this season.

Over/Under

BET OVER 8 (-115).

The Over has hit in each of Miami’s last 3 games and is 4-0 in its last 4 home games. For Boston, the Over is 3-0 in its last 3 road games and 7-3 in its last 10 overall. The Over has also hit in back-to-back Boston-Miami matchups and is 3-1 in the last 4 meetings in Miami.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Boston Red Sox (44-39) and Miami Marlins (30-54) open a 3-game series Tuesday. First pitch from loanDepot park is set for 6:40 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Red Sox vs. Marlins odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: First meeting; Miami won 3-0 last season

Boston beat the San Diego Padres 4-1 Sunday while covering as a -108 home favorite to end a 3-game losing streak. The Red Sox had previously allowed appointments to score 9 or more runs in 3 straight games.

Miami lost 7-6 to the Philadelphia Phillies Sunday as a +222 road underdog. The Marlins allowed the Phillies to score 5 unanswered runs to blow a 6-2 lead. Miami has lost 2 of its last 3 games.

Red Sox at Marlins projected starters

RHP Kutter Crawford vs. RHP Valente Bellozo

Crawford (3-7, 3.59 ERA) makes his 17th start. He has a 1.14 WHIP, 2.7 BB/9 and 9.2 K/9 in 92 2/3 IP.

  • Last start: Loss, 6 1/3 IP, 3 ER, 5 H, 2 BB, 7 K in a 5-2 loss at Cincinnati Reds on June 21
  • First career start vs. Miami

Bellozo (0-0, 0.00 ERA) makes his 2nd career start. He has a 0.40 WHIP, 0.0 BB/9 and 3.6 K/9 in 5 innings.

  • First MLB start: No-decision, 5 IP, 0 ER, 2 H, 0 BB, 2 K in a 5-1 loss at Kansas City Royals Wednesday

Red Sox at Marlins picks and predictions

Prediction

Red Sox 4, Marlins 1

Moneyline

PASS.

I expect the Red Sox (-176) to pick up the win here vs. an inferior Marlins team starting a rookie making just his 2nd start, but they are not worth the risk of betting on as such heavy favorites. Bet on the run line and/or total instead.

Run line/Against the spread

BET RED SOX -1.5 (-102).

None of Boston’s last 6 wins vs. Miami finished within a 1-run margin, including in its last 2 wins in Miami. The Red Sox are also 4-1 in their last 5 on the road, so I expect them to continue that dominance here against a rookie hurler.

Seven of Boston’s last 10 wins have been by multiple runs, but be aware that Boston is only 37-46 ATS.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 8 (-110).

The Under has hit in 2 of Miami’s last 3 games and 6 of its last 10. For Boston, the Under is 2-1 in its last 3 road games. The Under has also hit in 2 of the last 3 Boston-Miami matchups in Miami, being 7-3 in the last 10 meetings overall.

Miami Marlins at Philadelphia Phillies odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Thursday’s Miami Marlins at Philadelphia Phillies odds and lines, with MLB expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Miami Marlins (28-52) take on the Philadelphia Phillies (53-27) Thursday in the opener of a 4-game set at Citizens Bank Park at 7:40 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Marlins vs. Phillies odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Phillies lead 2-1

The Fish dropped 2 of 3 to the Kansas City Royals this week, and they scored just 4 runs in the 3-game set. The Marlins are 29th in baseball with just 3.5 runs per game and 26th with a 4.58 ERA as the wheels continue to fall off.

The Phillies have won 4 of 5 games after going 2-1 against the Detroit Tigers this week. The loss was against emerging stud RHP Tarik Skubal, who led the way to a 4-1 victory. Other than that, the Phils scored 6, 8, 4 and 12 runs  during the stretch. 1B Bryce Harper is hitting .500 (13-for-26) with 3 HR and 9 RBIs over the last 7 days.

Marlins at Phillies projected starters

LHP Trevor Rogers vs. RHP Zack Wheeler

Rogers (1-8, 4.90 ERA) makes his 16th start. He has a 1.55 WHIP, 3.8 BB/9 and 7.2 K/9 in 75 1/3 IP.

  • Last start: No-decision, 6 1/3 IP, 2 ER, 4 H, 1 BB, 5 K Friday against Seattle Mariners
  • Last 5 starts vs. Phillies: 0-4, 9.58 ERA, 2.03 WHIP, 20 K in 20 2/3 IP

Wheeler (9-4, 2.73 ERA) makes his 17th start. He has a 0.96 WHIP, 2.6 BB/9 and 9.7 K/9 in 99 IP.

  • Last start: Win, 7 IP, 1 ER, 2 H, 0 BB, 8 K Saturday against Arizona Diamondbacks
  • Last 5 starts vs. Miami: 1-0, 4.18 ERA, 1.29 WHIP, 27 K in 28 IP

  • Moneyline (ML): Marlins +240 (bet $110 to win $240) | Phillies -300 (bet $300 to win $100)
  • Run line (RL)/Against the spread (ATS): Marlins +2.5 (-135) | Phillies -2.5 (+115)
  • Over/Under (O/U): 8 (O: -105 | U: -115)

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Marlins at Phillies picks and predictions

Prediction

Phillies 6, Marlins 1

Moneyline

The Phillies are rightfully massive favorites in this one, and there’s no chance we can risk 3:1 for them to win.

Instead, let’s go with BRYCE HARPER OVER 1.5 H+R+RBI (-130). 

Worried about him facing a lefty? He’s hitting .312 against them as opposed to .301 against righties. He’s also a .338 hitter at home vs. .264 on the road.

Run line/Against the spread

No thanks to the 3-run requirement to cash a Phils RL Thursday. Instead I’m going with ZACK WHEELER UNDER 7.5 K’s (-165).

Yes, the Marlins swing at everything, but 8 K’s is a lot for him. He has done it just twice in his last 8 GS, and he has fewer than 8 K’s in his last 4 GS against Miami.

Over/Under

It’s expected to be 84 degrees with a 9-mph gust blowing in from left-center. Both teams are 4-6 O/U in their last 10. Wheeler has allowed more than 2 ER just once in his last 7 starts. I think this one stays UNDER 8 (-115).

Season series: First meeting; Seattle won 2-1 last season

Seattle was beaten 6-3 by the Cleveland Guardians on Thursday while failing to cover as a +102 road underdog. Seattle allowed the Guardians to score 4 unanswered after leading 3-2. The Mariners have lost back-to-back games and allowed at least 6 runs in both losses.

Miami won 4-3 over the St. Louis Cardinals Wednesday while covering as a +133 home underdog as 2B Otto Lopez hit the walk-off RBI single in the bottom of the 9th. The Marlins have won back-to-back games, each by 1 run.

Mariners at Marlins projected starters

RHP George Kirby vs. LHP Trevor Rogers

Kirby (6-5, 3.54 ERA) makes his 16th start. He has a 1.01 WHIP, 0.9 BB/9 and 8.8 K/9 in 86 1/3 IP.

  • Last start: Win, 6 IP, 0 ER, 3 H, 2 BB, 6 K in a 7-5 win over the Texas Rangers Saturday

Mariners at Marlins picks and predictions

Prediction

Mariners 7, Marlins 3

Moneyline

BET MARINERS (-164).

Seattle is 7-3 in its last 10 games overall while the Mariners are only 3-7 in their last 10. The Mariners are also 3-1 in their last 4 matchups vs. the Marlins.

Be aware that the Mariners are only 17-21 on the road this season.

Neither team is a safe bet here as Miami is only 31-43 ATS this season while the Mariners are 36-41. Bet on the moneyline and/or total instead.

BET OVER 7.5 (-110).

The Over has hit in 2 of Miami’s last 3 overall and is 3-1 in Miami’s last 4 at home. For Seattle, the Over is 4-0 in its last 4 road games. The Over has also hit in 3 of the last 4 Seattle-Miami meetings, being 2-1 in the last 3 meetings in Miami.
