MLB Betting Tips – 04 July

05 July 20:10 Minnesota Twins v Kansas City Royals

This game has two bets and the primary bet is the over. The Twins are clearly the better team in this matchup but Kenta Maeda is not having the best of seasons. Kenta is 1-5 with an ERA of 6.23 now in this game as bad as the Royals are they will register runs. 

Now the Royals are not known for their pitching and Zack Greinke will show that tonight, the 39-year-old has an ERA of 5.15 and in his last 5, there have been at least 7 runs. 

The good news for Minnesota is that Joey Gallo has returned, and I’m backing this game to have runs, and the secondary bet would be to bet on the Twins to win.

Suggested Bet: Over 7.5 / Minnesota Twins ML

05 July 17:05 Washington Nationals v Cincinnati Reds

Last night the line for this game was set at 10 and the teams only got 5 runs bringing the under but tonight the over will come. The Nats and the Reds are in the top half when it comes to batting average in the league and when you look at the starting pitchers, this game will be one with runs. Patrick Corbin played well against the Mariners but before that, he was getting slaughtered.

The Mariners are not a good offensive team reason he shut them out. The Reds are going with Bret Knnedy, a pitcher without much exposure this season but he has pitched 43.2 innings with an ERA of 3.71. The pitching here isn’t reliable to take the under, bet over.

Suggested Bet: Over 7.5

05 July 19:05 New York Yankees v Baltimore Orioles

Tonight the Orioles are the underdogs and they are the team to back here. The Yankees have had injury problems this season and one of their biggest is Aaron Judge. Aaron Judge so far this season has 19 HR, and 40 RBI on 51 Hits, with him available the Yankees average 5 runs per game. 

Kyle Gibson is starting for the Orioles and he played against the Yankees back in May in a game he only allowed 1 run in a game the Orioles won. This series won’t be a sweep, back the Orioles for the second game.

Suggested Bet: (+1.5 Baltimore Orioles)
