MLB Betting Tips – 31 August

Today at Bet Central, we bring you MLB betting tips, from MLB punter Justin Simelane. He has betting tips for three of tomorrow morning’s matches.

31 Aug 00:40 Miami Marlins v Tampa Bay Rays

This will be a great showdown between good pitchers but we have to pick a side that has gotten a day of rest. Tampa Bay did not play last night, unlike Miami who played in their defeat to the Dodgers. The Marlins have only won 1 in 5 whereas Tampa has won their last 7 in 10. In their previous 5 head-to-head Tampa has come out on top 5 times and they should be here because Shane McClanahan has never lost to the Marlins.

Suggested Bet: Tampa Bay Rays ML

31 Aug 01:20 Atlanta Braves v Colorado Rockies

This will be a series between two teams, one that can win the championship and one that has been struggling the whole season. The Braves are the team to go for here, the Braves are almost averaging 6 runs per game while the Rockies are averaging just 3.5 runs per game. Jose Urena has an ERA of 6.03 going 1-5, take the Braves to win this one.

Suggested Bet: Atlanta Braves ML

31 Aug 02:05 Texas Rangers v Houston Astros

Frambler Valdez is starting more and more games because he’s been terrific on the mound and should be yet again. Valdez currently has an ERA of 2.65 and he’s undefeated in his last 4 appearances. The last time Vladez played against the Rangers he allowed zero earned runs in 6 innings while striking out 6 batters. The Astros are a top 3 offensive side and should win this one by two-run or more.

Suggested Bet: Houston Astros ML
