With that in mind, here are the five best over/under picks to make on Tuesday, August 9th.

Atlanta Braves vs. Boston Red Sox

Braves vs. Red Sox Predictions

Best Bet: Over 9.5 Runs

The Atlanta Braves are in Boston on Tuesday night for a matchup with the Red Sox. Both teams are capable of having some big nights on offense, and that should be the case in this matchup as well.

The starting pitching matchup in this MLB game should also lead to a big day on offense, and that will contribute to the total. It’s going to take at least six runs to win this game on Tuesday night, and there will be at least ten runs scored.

MLB Betting Odds

Cleveland Guardians vs. Detroit Tigers

Guardians vs. Tigers Predictions

Best Bet: Under 7.5 Runs

Shane Bieber is set to start for the Guardians on Tuesday night, and he faces the worst offense in baseball in the Detroit Tigers. Detroit is scoring right around three runs per game, and Bieber should be able to dominate this lineup for most of the game.

Cleveland is fighting for a spot in the playoffs, and the Tigers will be looking to play the role of spoiler. Don’t expect much offense in this game, and the under is going to be the right pick.

Washington Nationals vs. Chicago Cubs

Nationals vs. Cubs Predictions

Best Bet: Under 8 Runs

Marcus Stroman and the Chicago Cubs take on a Washington Nationals team that has completely fallen apart. The Cubs aren’t much better than the Nationals, but they do at least have some talent in the lineup.

Chicago picked up a 6-3 win on Monday night, and that was a pretty good night of offense for each team. Stroman should dominate a depleted Nationals lineup, and the Cubs typically don’t score in bunches often.

Four runs should be enough to win this MLB game, and the under is the right pick.

Expert MLB Picks

St. Louis Cardinals vs. Colorado Rockies

Cardinals vs. Rockies Predictions

Best Bet: Under 11 Runs

The St. Louis Cardinals head to Colorado, having won seven straight games, and that offense is clicking on all cylinders. St. Louis will also have Miles Mikolas on the mound on Tuesday night, and he was an All-Star this season.

Colorado is always a better offensive team at home, but it’s hard to see them doing a ton of damage in this matchup. The over/under is set at 11.0, and both teams will have to contribute to get to that total.

11.0 runs is simply too many for this game, and the under is going to hit.

Los Angeles Angels vs. Oakland Athletics

Angels vs. Athletics Predictions

Best Bet: Over 6.5 Runs

It’s not very often that you will find an over/under line for a MLB game set at just 6.5 runs, even when an ace is on the mound. Shohei Ohtani is set to start for the Angels, and this line of 6.5 tells you that he is expected to have another dominant outing.

Los Angeles has struggled to score without Mike Trout, and the Oakland Athletics have been a bad offensive team all season long. Recent results would suggest that the under would be the right play, but this is a great chance to take the over.

The Angels and Athletics will combine for at least seven runs.
