The 2022 MLB season is off and running as we have almost reached the end of the first month. MLB betting is starting to heat up as well, and it’s starting to get a bit easier to handicap each team and the matchups each night.

MLB Betting Sites

There is a full slate of games set for April 30th, 2022, and MLB baseball will be taking center stage. Here is a look at four of the best bets from around the league on Saturday.

Moneyline Bet: Chicago Cubs +145

Cubs vs. Brewers Prediction

The Chicago Cubs are in Milwaukee to take on the Brewers for a huge rivalry series in the NL Central Division. Milwaukee cruised to a blowout win in the series opener, and they are the betting favorites to win on Saturday as well.

Eric Lauer makes the start for Milwaukee on Saturday, and he is the one weak spot in the starting rotation. The Cubs are not a great team, but they do have an offense that is capable of doing some damage.

Chicago is going to get one win in this series, and that will take place on Saturday. Take the Cubs +145 as they get some revenge over the Brewers.

MLB Odds

Run Line Bet: Los Angeles Dodgers -1.5

Tigers vs. Dodgers Prediction

The Los Angeles Dodgers host the Detroit Tigers on Saturday night, and Clayton Kershaw is on the mound. Los Angeles is always a solid betting opportunity with Kershaw taking the hill, and they are facing a Tigers team that has gone just 6-13.

Detroit is going to turn things around a bit at some point, but don’t expect them to do much scoring on Saturday night. Los Angeles has one of the best lineups in baseball, and that group should be able to do some serious damage in this game.

The Dodgers win this game by at least two runs to cover the -1.5 run line spread.

Totals Bet: Yankees vs. Royals Over 8

Yankees vs. Royals Prediction

The Kansas City Royals and New York Yankees will continue their series on Saturday. New York came away with a 12-2 win on Friday night, but the run line for Game two of the series is just 8.0.

Gerrit Cole makes the start for New York, and things have not gone well for him at all. He will likely give up a few runs in this game, and the Yankees are, of course, going to score plenty of runs.

8.0 runs feels way too low for this matchup as New York and Kansas City will combine for double-digit runs on Saturday.

MLB Picks

Parlay Bet: Padres -160 / New York Mets -115

Padres vs. Pirates Prediction / Phillies vs. Mets Prediction

Putting together a two-team parlay is another solid betting option when it comes to MLB, and there are two betting favorites that seem to go together. Making this bet could provide a solid win, even though you are taking two moneyline favorites.

The San Diego Padres are favorites on the road in Pittsburgh as they are taking on a bad Pirates squad. San Diego picked up a win on Friday night, and they will do the same thing on Saturday.

New York is hosting the Philadelphia Phillies, and the Mets threw a combined no-hitter on Friday night. The Mets are one of the hottest teams in baseball, and that pitching staff should have another dominant outing.

Take the Padres -160 and the Mets -115 as both teams win again on Saturday.
