Mets vs. Yankees Predictions

The New York Mets and New York Yankees are set to begin a series on Monday night, and this should be a fun series to watch. Max Scherzer is starting for the Mets on Monday, and it’s always fun to watch him take the mound.

The Yankees continue to be one of the most powerful teams in baseball, but they also strikeout a ton. It should be a big strikeout game for Scherzer, and taking the over 7.5 strikeouts is the way to go in this MLB matchup.

Adolis Garcia to Record 2+ Total Bases (+140)

Rangers vs. Twins Predictions

The Texas Rangers have been playing well in Minnesota this weekend, and they have one final game against the Twins on Monday night. It has been a rough MLB season for the Rangers, but they do have some players that continue to do some damage.

Adolis Garcia is one of those players, and he is currently in the middle of an 18-game hitting streak. Garcia is also a slugger, and most of his hits are of the extra base variety.

Take Garcia to record at least 2+ total bases on Monday night.

Expert MLB Picks

Shohei Ohtani to Record 3+ Total Bases (+250)

Angels vs. Rays Predictions

It has been another rough stretch for the Los Angeles Angels of late, but this is still a team that can do some serious damage. Los Angeles is in Tampa Bay, and it will take a big offensive performance to win any of those games.

Shohei Ohtani has continued to put up big numbers, despite the overall struggles of his team. Look for Ohtani to have another big night at the plate, and taking the slugger to record at least 3+ total bases is the way to go with a big payout.

Julio Urias Under 6.5 Strikeouts (-115)

Brewers vs. Dodgers Predictions

The Los Angeles Dodgers host the Milwaukee Brewers in a battle of two playoff contenders in the National League. Betting on the Dodgers is always a good way to go, as they are a team that is loaded with talent.

Julio Urias takes the mound on Monday night, and the strikeout total does seem a bit high for this matchup. Take the under 6.5 strikeouts as the Brewers will make things difficult for the lefthander.
