Today's MLB Betting Picks - Guardians @ Orioles
O/U: 8 | Moneyline: BAL -145
CLE: Cal Quantrill | BAL: Kyle Gibson
The Cleveland Guardians (24-29) will battle the Baltimore Orioles (34-20) at Camden Yards this evening. Cal Quantrill will get the ball for the Guardians and face Kyle Gibson for the Orioles. Quantrill is 2-3 with a 4.75 ERA and a 1.35 WHIP. Conversely, Gibson is 6-3 with a 3.82 ERA and a 1.30 WHIP. The O’s have the third-best bullpen in baseball with a 3.49 SIERA. The Guardians pen has a 3.84 SIERA, another slight advantage to the Orioles.
The significant advantage here for the O’s is on the offensive side of the ball. The Guardians are dead last in baseball with a 74 wRC+ against right-hand pitching. They have scored 133 runs and have a .226 AVG this season against the split. The Orioles have a 101 wRC+ against right-hand pitching. They have scored 170 runs and have a .246 AVG. Baltimore, at home with their ace on the bump here, should roll.
Pick: Baltimore moneyline (-145) DraftKings Sportsbook

Today's MLB Betting Picks - Yankees @ Mariners
O/U: 7.5 | Moneyline: NYY +125
NYY: Nestor Cortes | SEA: Logan Gilbert
The New York Yankees (33-23) will face the Seattle Mariners (28-26) on the road tonight. The Yankees are starting to trend in the right direction with Judge back in the mold, as they are 7-3 in their last ten games and have won three in a row. They are only six games back of the Rays for the AL East lead.
Nestor Cortes will get the ball for the Yankees and enters today's start with a 4-2 record, a 5.30 ERA, and a 1.27 WHIP. Gilbert has had a 3-2 record, a 3.60 ERA, and a 0.92 WHIP. Both bullpens are in the top ten in SIERA, as the Yankees have a 3.78 SIERA and the Mariners have a 3.43 SIERA.
The Yankees have a 103 wRC+ against right-hand pitching this year. They own a .318 wOBA and a .430 SLG. They are trending in the right direction with Judge back in the lineup. The Mariners, on the other hand, have struggled a bit against lefties. They have a 90 wRC+, a .294 wOBA, and a .382 SLG. The matchup here between the Yankees and Mariners is about as even as they come, and the +125 we are getting on the Yankees is a significant value. I'll side with the plus money and the better team.
Pick: Yankees moneyline (+125) DraftKings Sportsbook
