MLB Betting Tips – 28 September

The MLB season is heating up and punter Justin Simelane has seen some opportunity for value in three games today. He has betting tips for Washington Nationals v Atlanta Braves, New York Mets v Miami Marlins and Houston Astros vs Arizona Diamondbacks.

28 Sep 01:05 Washington Nationals v Atlanta Braves

Paolo Espino doesn’t have the best starts as a pitcher and his ERA would indicate so at 4.17 and contributing to 7 losses in as many games. Now The Braves start Max Fried who is one of their best pitchers and should not struggle against this side that failed to get a single run last night. The Braves dont struggle when it comes to covering the run-line, take that or the Moneyline.

Suggested Bet: Atlanta Braves ML/ Braves -1.5

28 Sep 01:10 New York Mets v Miami Marlins

The Mets know if they lose this game the Braves will take the top spot in the East, so heading into this game you get one team with a goal while the other team is playing as spoilers. Mets have a good win percentage when playing the MARLINS, especially in New York and with Carlos Carrasco starting I’m even more positive he can show up. The last time Carlos played against the Marlins he only gave up one run while Pablo Lopez allowed 10 runs in 5 innings. In their last 5 between the two the Mets have come out on top 4 times and each time they covered the -1.5, take the Mets to win here.

Suggested Bet: Mets ML/-1.5 Mets

28 Sep 02:10 Houston Astros v Arizona Diamondbacks

The Astros are not throwing games heading into the post-season and they should win this one. Yordan Alvarez has had an excellent season for the Astros registering 37 home runs. Now we don’t know if he’ll be starting this game but the Diamondbacks are a side he’s yet to get a home run playing against this season and with Zach Davies on the mound it’s not unlikely. The Astros haven’t lost a series in a while now and should open this one with a win.

Suggested Bet: Houston Astros ML
