Gambling911.com has some free MLB betting picks for Friday August 20, 2021 with all lines courtesy of BetOnline here. They offer a true dime line up to -190 for the best payouts in online baseball wagering.
Hot Teams
AL East
Tampa Bay Rays - The Rays are winning around 70% of their games of late and own a 75-47 record, 5.5 games up from the Yankees.
New York Yankees - They were winning around 80% of their most recent 10 games now and were now at 69-52.
----
AL Central
Chicago White Sox - 71-51 was their record. But the White Sox were playing just .500 baseball at the moment, perhaps because they are in such a comfortable lead in the AL Central. They were 11.5 up from the Cleveland Indians.
----
AL West
Oakland Atheltics - They were playing lukewarm in the past week but do own a 69-53 record. The A's were 2.5 games under a now struggling Astros squad.
----
NL East
Atlanta Braves - Heading into Monday, they were now up four games over the Phillies and playing at an 90% win rate. They owned a 65-56 record.
----
NL Central
Milwaukee Brewers - They own a 74-47 record and are playing at close to a 80% win rate at the moment. What's not to like?
St. Louis Cardinals - At 61-58, the Cards have been playing at an 70% win rate recently.
----
NL West
San Francisco Giants - They are playing at an 80% win rate and are 3 games above the Dodgers. They are 78-43.
LA Dodgers - The Dodgers are back! They are playing at a 90% win rate. They own a 75-46 record.
Ice Cold Bullpens
Colorado Rockies - The Rockies have the worst bullpen ERA in baseball right now (5.45).
Top Trends (Coming Into Friday)
- The Dodgers are 23-6 versus the Mets. (The price was expected to be too high)
- Milwaukee is 14-6 in the last 22 meetings versus the Nationals.
- The OVER is 17-4 in the Twins-Yankees series.
- St. Louis is 13-3 versus Pittsburgh.
Game Watch
1. Twins @ Yankees - The total for this game was 10.5.
Charlie Barnes (0-2, 4.91) will start for Minnesota, Nestor Cortes Jr. (1-1, 2.55) for New York.
Seven of the last nine games in this series have indeed gone OVER 10.5.
Only one of the last five games with Cortes Jr. starting have resulted in more than 10.5 runs.
2. Pirates @ Cardinals - St. Louis -185.
Hate the price but it's doable. Mitch Keller (3-10, 6.86) starts for Pittsburgh. Miles Mikolas (0-0, 2.25) starts for St. Louis.
The starters probably won't matter much here. This is all about a decent St. Louis team hosting a pitiful Pirates squad they have played well against in recent times.
Take the Cardinals -185 Here - There just aren't a whole lot of good options today.
