MLB Best Bets: Five Picks for Sunday's Action

Five MLB betting experts offer their top picks for Sunday’s 15-game slate, ranging from the Reds vs. Nationals matchup to the Braves vs. Yankees series finale and beyond.

Reds vs. Nationals: Nationals Moneyline

Tony Sartori recommends betting on the Nationals Moneyline (+105 or Better) against the Reds, citing the Nationals' pitching advantage – specifically, Miles Mikolas being the only pitcher on their roster with worse analytics than Reds SP Brady Singer. He also notes the Reds' struggles to consistently score runs.

Braves vs. Yankees: Grant Holmes Over 5.5 Strikeouts

Sean Paul predicts Grant Holmes will record over 5.5 strikeouts in Sunday’s series finale against the Yankees (+125). He highlights the Yankees’ high strikeout rate since July 1st and suggests Holmes can likely reach the 5-6 strikeout threshold.

Rockies vs. Cardinals: Jordan Walker Over 2.5 Hits+Runs+RBIs

Ryan Minion advises betting on Jordan Walker to record over 2.5 Hits+Runs+RBIs (+108) against the Cardinals. He argues that Walker has excelled against Lorenzen’s changeups and fastball mix, while Lorenzen’s profile is unfavorable for Walker.

Dodgers vs. Diamondbacks: Eduardo Rodriguez xERA Considerations

Doug Ziefel suggests considering the performance of Dodgers pitcher Eduardo Rodriguez, noting his xERA of 4.32 and xFIP of 4.34, which he believes are more realistic indicators of his effectiveness due to the Diamondbacks benefiting from hitters chasing and producing soft contact.
