Baseball is one of the best sports to wager on because of the number of wagers that you can place. The Tuesday slate is massive, which is positive because you have options. However, do not just bet the first wager you find on a sportsbook for MLB.
Here are the best MLB bets for Tuesday, June 8, 2021.
Dodgers vs. Pirates Predictions
Dodgers vs. Pirates Betting Report
Dodgers -1.5 (-120)
The Dodgers are on the road in Pittsburgh for three games. Los Angeles is one of the best teams in baseball, and they are starting to get hot. The Dodgers on the moneyline are -200 on most sportsbooks.
This is a smart bet, but it’s somewhat high risk if you are looking to get a decent payout. Dodgers -1 ½ over Pittsburgh is a smarter bet. It will require Los Angeles to win by more than a run, but the odds are -120.
A $100 wager on the run line would win $83.33. Walker Buehler will pitch for the Dodgers. He has been one of the best wings for the team. Buehler is undefeated with a 2.82 ERA.
The team has a cumulative OBP of .337, which is third in baseball. They are also leading the league in runs scored with 313. The numbers say bet the Dodgers on the run line.
Mets vs. Orioles Predictions

Best Bet: Cedric Mullins to Record 2 Hits (+175)

If you are looking for a fun player prop, you should take Cedric Mullins. Mullins is seeing beach balls at the plate after a monster weekend.
Mullins recorded nine hits and three home runs on Friday through Sunday against the Indians. In the past seven contests, Mullins is slashing .536/.594/.1.071.
He has 15 hits in 28 plate appearances with just one strikeout. The Orioles face the Mets in interleague play on Monday. David Peterson will pitch for New York.
Peterson is the perfect pitcher for Mullins to destroy on Tuesday. Peterson is 1-4 with a 5.89 ERA. His pitches are not overwhelming, so Mullins will be able to sit back and relax at the plate.
Mullins has shown no signs of slowing down, which gives me confidence he will rack up two hits this evening.
Yankees vs. Twins Predictions
Yankees vs. Twins Betting Report
Best Bet: Under 9.5 Runs
The Yankees and Twins were championship favorites in April. Although, the season has not gone how either team has hoped. New York is better than Minnesota on paper and in the win column.
Yet, the Yankees are still struggling and fading away in the American League Central. The potent Bronx Bombers are struggling to score runs.
When this is combined with the Twins average offense, I like the under of 9.5. The Yankees are 26th in runs with 226, and Minnesota is 13th with 270.
These offenses have been relatively stagnant recently. I expect this trend to continue with the pitchers in this game. Jordan Montgomery and Michael Pineda will throw for their respective clubs.
Montgomery has a 3.92 ERA. Pineda is slightly better with a 3.40. These respectable wings should do their job and keep the scoring low in Minnesota. It will be hard to bet the over in a game involving the Yankees until they start delivering.
