MLB Betting Tips – 29 June

MLB punter Justin Simelane has prepared his best bets for three of Thursday morning’s matches. Get your bet slip ready and take advantage of his betting tips.

29 June 01:05 Baltimore Orioles v Cincinnati Reds

If it were not for the injuries the Reds have had this season Luke Weaver would not be a starter for this game. The Reds pitcher is having a terrible season and this game will be no different. Luke Weaver currently has an ERA of 6.86 and in the last week it’s at 13.50 in his last 5 appearances each game has had at least 9 runs, that is why I’m running with that. 

The Orioles wont back down here as they have been a top-10 offensive side this month of July but the Reds will also get their runs, together combining and bringing the over.

Suggested Bet: Over 8.5

29 June 02:40 Colorado Rockies v Los Angeles Dodgers

I’m taking the Dodgers to win this one once again, the value on either team will be decided later as the Dodgers are yet to decide who’ll be the starting pitcher, but it really won’t matter. Colorado are not known for their pitching, they are bottom in the season for strikeouts and Kyle Freeland won’t help with their numbers here. He is currently 4-8 with an ERA of 4.54 and WHIP is 1.39 . Dodgers rank top 5 in both home runs and RBI’s take them to win this game making it 6 wins in 7.

Suggested Bet: LA Dodgers ML

29 June 03:40 Arizona Diamondbacks v Tampa Bay Rays

Zach Davies is currently struggling, in any of his last 3 games, he is not even reaching the 5th inning because of his poor pitching. He is allowing too many hits and he will be slaughtered again in this game which is why I favour the Tampa Bay Rays. 

Arizona are just sitting on 500 when it comes to games against teams over 500 but the Rays are above 500. Tampa this season have been well known of how well they are stealing bases, they have stolen 99 bases so far this season and more bases will be stolen in this game as they win.

Suggested Bet: New York Yankees ML
