Another MLB season is winding down, but we’re staying turned up for our MLBbro.com fam! If it’s Friday, it’s payday when you tap in to Bro Betting Baseball.
1. It is going to be a barn burner when the Colorado Rockies (+165) head to the Windy City to face off with the Chicago Cubs (-199). Cubs’ starter Jameson Taillon (7 wins – 10 losses, 5.27 ERA) has been known to get rocked even against lesser opponents, but he’s Nolan Ryan compared to Rockies’ rookie Noah Davis (0 wins – 2 losses, 9.58 ERA).
Run it up. Rockies/Cubs OVER 9 total runs (-110)
2. Desperation is setting in for our baseball fans north of the border, as the Toronto Blue Jays (+122) are battling the Rangers and Mariners for the last spot in the AL Wild Card. Standing in their way are the division rival Tampa Bay Rays (-145), but history is on the Blue Jays’ side! The two teams last met way back in May, where the Blue Jays stifled the burning hot Rays to the tune of a 3-1 series win.
Oh Canada! Blue Jays ML (+122)
3. It’s a good old Philly and New York battle as the Phillies (-165) look to put the nail in the coffin of the Mets (+140). MLBbro Taijuan Walker (15 wins – 5 losses, 4.4 ERA) has proven all year that his former team made a critical mistake in letting him walk for two aging pitchers in Max Scherzer and Justin Verlander. He looks to bring the hammer to the Mets a couple more times to close out the season and bolster a bid for the NL Cy Young in the process.
We’re in the home stretch MLBBro.com fam! We’re saying goodbye (not Dubai, like Mr. Rob Parker) to the regular season, and screaming hello to postseason baseball.
It’s been a fun ride all season long here with the #BrosBettingBaseball (@bbruh916 / @abookay3) and we hope we lined those pockets with more green than the wall-monster in Boston. Enough with the sappy stuff, let’s lay some maple wood on the leather and hit some home run winners with today’s 3 picks!
1. Things are tighter than a hippo in stretch pants in the NL East race! The New York Mets (-110) hold the slight lead as they visit the second place Atlanta Braves (-110) in this pick’em battle for the top spot. The Mets have given up so much real estate after dominating the first 50 games of the season, and they hope their longtime ace Jacob DeGrom (2.93 ERA, 5 wins – 3 losses) can help salvage their lead against the Brave’s own ace, Max Fried (2.5 ERA, 13 wins – 7 losses). Things may be rough for the Mets, though, as DeGrom’s return has left a bit to be desired. He’s allowed 3 or more runs in his last 3 games and has 0 wins in all three games. The Mets are also still missing MLB Bro Starling Marte to a finger injury, and their big bat Pete Alonso has gone 1 for 8 at bat in his last two games. With the Mets trending down, it’s a strong lean for us picking the hot Atlanta Braves moneyline.
2. Let’s stay in Atlanta for pick number 2! Despite the struggles discussed in the earlier pick, Jacob DeGrom is still dealing as his WHIP sits at an amazing 0.74. Through 58.1 innings pitch, DeGrom recorded 91 strikeouts and has a well-rested arm after sitting out the majority of the season. On the other side, Max Fried’s WHIP is nearly as impressive at 1.02, and if we’re talking about trends, he’s only given up 2 or less earned runs in every start in September. It’s a scary low number, but I’m loving Under 7 total combined runs between the Braves and Mets.
3. There’s a lot on the line for our last pick of the day, as the Wild Card hopeful Milwaukee Brewers (-178) welcome in the Miami Marlins (+150). If you’re a fan of pitching, go ahead and grab a glizzy and some peanuts before you tune in as Miami’s Sandy Alcantara (2.32 ERA, 14 wins – 8 losses) and Milwaukee’s Corbin Burnes (3.11 ERA, 11 wins – 8 losses) will be putting on a show!
The two pitchers have an amazing, combined strikeout count of 420 Ks, and have only allowed 101 combined total bases on balls. These two guys are in their prime as they wrap up their 3rd year in the bigs, but only the Brewers still have something to play for and their offensive fire power (top 10 in slugging and home runs) is lightyears ahead of the Marlins (bottom 10 in all offensive categories). Go ahead and count on the Milwaukee Brewers Moneyline as the #BrosBestBet, and we’ll see you all back here next season as PLAYOFF BASEBALL begins in a week and some change!
Welcome MLBBro.com fam, as the #BrosBettingBaseball (@bbruh916 / @abookay3) look to bounce back on this very last Friday of the summer. Before you take a sip of your first pumpkin spice latte, guzzle that Oktoberfest style brew, or devour your first chili of the Autumn season, come on through and get your fill on these winners.
1. We might be creeping closer and closer to Halloween, but my man with the stats PropaganDrew is NEVER SCARED! He’s still pounding the bookie over the head like a wack-a-mole at your local carnival, and he’s loving our first pick in Beantown. Those pesky Kansas City Royals (+165) are looking to massacre the home team Boston Red Sox (-195) at 7:10pm Eastern, but Drewski is waving that finger to Royal’s fans like Mutombo in his prime. He crunched the pitching numbers and Red Sox starter Michael Wacha (2.69 ERA, 11 wins – 1 loss) is a top 3 pitcher when trying to beat the oddsmakers in Vegas. It’s not just the pitching that favors the Sox, as their offense is 4th in batting average, 3rd in hits, and are 6th in on base percentage. The Royal’s offense, conversely, has been more boo-worthy than a ghost, ghoul, or goblin. They rank 24th or lower in on base percentage, slugging percentage, and home runs. Go ahead and lay that fall harvest on the #BrosBestBet, Boston Red Sox moneyline.
2. The Seattle Mariners (-165) are looking to exorcise those playoff demons in 2022, but the Los Angeles Angels (+140) are trying to bare-face rob them of that chance as they do battle in LA starting at 9:38pm Eastern. Sure, the Angels are boasting two MVPs and home run kings in Ohtani and Trout, but all that is mashugana (in my Rob Parker voice) when you’re nowhere near playoff contention and your pitching is mediocre, at best. Enter the Mariner’s Robbie Ray (3.56 ERA, 12 wins – 9 losses). A huge part of this season’s turnaround, Ray has been stifling in his last 5 games, going 4 – 1, and averaging 6.6 strikeouts per game. That pitching pairs nicely with MLB Bro and big contract signee Julio “J-Rod” Rodriguez, who is batting .529 with 3 homers and 4 RBIs in his last 5 games. Even away from the Northwest look for the boys from Seattle to rain on the Angels in a major way and pick the Mariners moneyline to get that pumpkin-sized bag.
3. What’s a Fall-themed handicapping column without mentioning the orange and black donning San Francisco Giants (+143) playing host to their archnemesis Los Angeles Dodgers (-170)? Don’t run from these betting dogs, as the Giants are poised for an upset with ace Logan Webb (2.88 ERA, 13 wins – 8 losses) facing off against the Dodgers 2nd year starter Dustin May (4.29 ERA, 1 win – 2 losses). Don’t get caught up with the Dodgers being the best team in baseball and almost 30 games ahead of the Giants in the NL West. The Giants are 4-1 (at the time of writing) in their last 5 games and Webb has won his last 2 games, including a win in LA against these same Dodgers.

The Dodgers are still the best team in baseball, but we’re looking at a scheduling loss as they are looking ahead to the playoffs and marching out a pitcher at the bottom of their rotation. Take the Giants moneyline to get those amazing odds, and we’ll see you next week as we give you your first Friday winners of the Fall!
Can you feel that MLBBro.com family? It feels like PLAYOFF BASEBALL is rounding 3rd base and coming in HOT as we enter September on our way to Fall baseball! You know the #BrosBettingBaseball (@bbruh916 / @abookay3) are always feeling good as we went 2 for 3 every week in the month of August, and we’re looking to hit that trifecta every week of September for all our loyal readers. So let’s ride this heat wave all the way to the top and beat the bookie until your money is in knots! Here are three winners that can’t stop, won’t stop!
1. First stop is that sticky icky weather of the Midwest, as the Cleveland Guardians (+115) play host to the Seattle Mariners (-115). In a battle of playoff hopefuls, the wildcard bound Mariners are marching out Luis Castillo (2.85 ERA, 5 wins – 5 losses) to do battle with the division leading Guardians and right-hander Zach Plesac (4.39 ERA, 3 wins – 11 losses). With neither pitcher looking like a dominant ace, our man with the stats PropanganDrew dug deep into his pitching trends to find some gems. True, Castillo is still finding his footing in the Mariners rotation, but Plesac has just 1 win in his last 5 appearances and has struggled all year at home in The Land. Granted, that last win was at Seattle, but Castillo fanned 10 batters during their last heads-up matchup. We’re leaning hard on the Seattle Mariners Moneyline to kick off our Friday of winning.
2. We’re not leaving the Lakelands just yet, as the Wild Card race is raging between the visiting Minnesota Twins (-120) and Chicago White Sox (+100). Although both teams are looking up at the aforementioned division-leading Guardians, they’re within reach of the Mariners for first round playoff baseball. The Twins are hoping Sonny Gray (3.04 ERA, 7 wins – 4 losses) can push them past the White Sox and young rookie Davis Martin (4.62 ERA, 2 wins – 4 losses). Although Martin has allowed less than 5 hits in his last 3 starts, Gray has always loved travel ball. It’s almost always Sonny on the road for the Twins, as he’s gone 4-2 on the year when he’s away from Minnesota (not counting no-decisions). And while the White Sox are an impressive 3rd in batting average and 2nd in hits, they’re still missing MLB Bro Tim Anderson and facing a Twins offense that is currently top 10 in on base %, slugging %, and home runs! Take the Minnesota Twins on the Moneyline, as they win the division battle by a slim margin.
3. Lastly, we’re heading to the Bay Area to close up our Friday with the Philadelphia Phillies (-105) as road dogs against the roller coaster ride of a team in the San Francisco Giants (-115). A roller coaster ride is being generous, as the Giants have played their way out of any playoff contention and are miles behind the division leading Los Angeles Dodgers. The Phillies, on the other hand, are still in the heat of a wildcard battle and are sitting 3rd in the competitive NL East. The Giants pitcher Alex Cobb (3.81 ERA, 4 wins – 6 losses) and Phillies Kyle Gibson (4.08 ERA, 9 wins – 5 losses) have both been giving up a ton of runs despite both sharing relatively solid WHIP ratings at 1.2 and 1.3, respectively. In this special 2 for 1 pick, we’re leaning the Phillies Moneyline and the Over 7.5 combined runs for the Giants/Phillies. No best bet this week but take our four picks and run that bookie to the ground!
Don’t look now, but the #BrosBettingBaseball (@bbruh916 / @abookay3) were batting an amazing .666 last week (2 -1)! We’ve got the bookies running scared as there were not many odds posted at the time of writing this article across multiple sources including the likes of CBS Sports, Bovada, and the Action Network apps. No fear, keep that band of shekels near, and rejoice because your three Friday MLB winners are HERE!
1. We’re going coast to coast for game 1, as the Los Angeles Dodgers (no line posted) take that flight to tropical Florida to face off with the Miami Marlins. The Dodgers have been scorching hot all year, and lefty Tyler Anderson (2.72 ERA, 13 wins – 2 losses) looks to keep bringing the heat against the Marlin’s southpaw Trevor Rogers (5.85 ERA, 4 wins – 10 losses). Not to pile on the struggling men of Miami, but they’re bottom 10 across all offensive categories and their foes from LA are currently the best team in the Bigs and are cruising with top 5 ranks in those same categories. We don’t see any Miami Flu hitting the boys in blue, and we’ve got the #BrosBestBet with the Dodgers Moneyline.
2. Let’s keep it on the East Coast, but this time head to the Big Apple! Those up and down Colorado Rockies (no line posted) look to upset the New York Mets after the Mets struggled against the Yankees. In a battle of right-handers, “Big Bad” Chad Kuhl (6 wins – 7 losses, 5.16 ERA) looks to lead the Rockies and topple the solid Chris Bassitt (11 wins – 7 losses, 3.25 ERA) of the Metropolitans. Although the Mets lead their division, the Rockies have actually been an incredibly solid team in the batter’s box. They lead the MLB in both batting average (.263) and hits (1130). The Mets are no slouches when it comes to swinging the wood, as they’re top 5 in batting average, runs, hits, and on base %. With the offenses clicking, our man with the stats PropaganDrew also points to both pitchers on his list of “Over” when it comes to runs per game. Lock it in on your betslip MLB Bros, we’ve got the Over 7.5 Runs for the Rockies/Mets.

3. Finally, let’s take a ride in that donk to H-Town, as the visiting Baltimore Orioles (no lines posted) take on the hometown Houston Astros. Orioles righty Kyle Bradish (1 win – 5 losses, 6.25 ERA) looks to get off the shnide against the Astro’s righty Lance McCullers (1 win – 1 loss, 2.45 ERA). Although the Orioles have seen a resurgence in wins after a deplorable start of the season, the Astros are riding a 4-game win streak and McCullers is getting back into form after returning from the injury list. MLB Bro “Air” Yordan Alvarez is yet another key piece to the Astros winning ways, as he’s leading the team in homers (31) and batting average (.297) and pushed us to pick the Houston Astros Moneyline to complete our easy 1-2-3 steps to winning against the books!
