While we’re not dropping any bags on the annual Field of Dreams game this year, the #BrosBettingBaseball (@bbruh916/@abookay3) have the insight to get your wallet right! Don’t bother watching any NFL preseason and save your money on that $40 ticket to watch any snoozers posing as blockbuster summer hits in the theatres. Head to your nearest ballpark or catch the action on your own big screen, tap into your local sportsbook or betting app, and punch in three winners from the Bros from MLBBro.com!
1. Nothing beats a summer in South Beach, so let’s take our first trip to Miami as the Marlins (no line posted) host the Atlanta Braves starting at 6:40pm Eastern. The boys from ATL are in bounce back mode after dropping 4 of 5 to the division leading Mets, and tore the Red Sox up to the tune of a 2-game series sweep. Max Fried (10 wins – 4 losses, 2.60 ERA) has made the man with the stats PropaganDrew’s list of top pitchers, sitting comfortably at #15 with his 10 big wins. Miami has been a bottom dweller, and it’s been even worse in August. With just a 2 win – 6 loss record on the month against the Reds, Cubs, and Phillies, we’re all scratching our heads as to what their front office is doing. MLB Bros Jazz Chisholm (Back) and Sandy Alcantara (rest day) won’t be available to help the Marlins starter Pablo Lopez (7 wins – 7 losses, 3.57 ERA). Take the Braves runline -1.5 all the way to the bank!
2. If things weren’t humid enough in Miami, we’re going up the US-301 North to check out the Washington Nationals (+205) on their home field against the visiting San Diego Padres (-245). OH NO! IT’S THE RETURN OF SOTO! Just a few weeks ago the blockbuster trade went down, and both teams have yet to truly reap the benefits of the deal. San Diego is still looking to break out of 2nd place in the NL West as the Dodgers laid the smackdown during their series right after the trade. The Nats have continued their losing ways, dropping 8 of 10 and starting little known Cory Abbott (0 wins – 1 loss, 5.68 ERA) in an attempt to sour the return of Juan Soto. Although the Padre’s righty Mike Clevinger (3 wins – 4 losses, 3.60 ERA) hasn’t been the effective starter he once was, we’re still loving the Padres runline -1.5 in game number 2.
3. As we mentioned, the boys in blue are on a tear! The LA Dodgers (no line posted) travel to the Midwest and bring their undefeated August and 10-win streak to the doorstep of the Kansas City Royals. While the Royals have shown signs of life with a 6 win – 4 loss record thus far in August, they’ll be facing off against the improbable ace in right-hander Tony Gonsolin (Urias has been solid, but we saw that coming). The #BrosBettingBaseball are going goo goo for Gonso! PropaganDrew has him ranked #14 on his list of top pitchers, and his 13 wins, 2.30 ERA, and ridiculous .89 WHIP just solidify our #BrosBestBet in the Dodgers runline -1.5. We’re not playing any games this Friday! Three picks! Three runlines! THREE WINNERS FOR OUR MLB BROS and SISTERS!

Welcome MLB Bros and Sisters! We’re waving goodbye to an amazing July with three solid picks and throwing a few dogs into the action. In case your pockets are touching after a weird week of upsets, or if you’re a Boston fan dragging your butt back to the sportsbook after the Blue Jays laid more runs on you than an Olympic track meet, we’ve got your back like bra straps! Get back into the green with the #BrosBettingBaseball team (@bbruh916 / @abookay3)!
1. First, let’s head to the Bronx borough as the New York Yankees (-325) drop the welcome mat for the visiting Kansas City Royals. Remember when everyone was dogging Gerrit Cole for losing velocity after they started checking pitchers for banned substances? Well, no one is dogging the UCLA Bruin now! Cole is the undisputed ace of the Yankees as he sits with 9 wins – 3 losses, 3.09 ERA, and has fanned 153 batters in just 119 innings pitched. The Royals lefty Kris Bubic (2 wins – 6 losses, 5.53 ERA) will have to pitch a nearly perfect game as he faces off with the top ranked team in home runs, slugging %, and runs scored. It doesn’t take a Judge to rule in favor of the Yankees. We’re making this the #BrosBestBet, and taking the Yankees runline -1.5.
2. Next at bat are the home team Los Angeles Angels (-110) taking on the Texas Rangers (-110). Why is this game a pickem? Look no further than the mound, as Texas ace Martin Perez has let his left arm do all the talking. Perez’s 2.59 ERA and 1.18 WHIP has led him to a noteworthy record of 8 wins – 2 losses. The man with the stats PropaganDrew is riding with Perez like he’s in a sidecar doing 100 MPH on the Pacific Coast Highway! He’ll do battle with Patrick Sandoval of the Angels, who only has 3 wins and has been a must-fade with his 3.64 ERA and only 91 strikeouts on the season. Ohtani and Trout can be as great as they want to be, but it doesn’t equate to wins. Take the Rangers moneyline, and let that dog walk all the way to the bank.
3. Finally, we think Vegas lost their mind with the odds they placed on the visiting Minnesota Twins (+100) versus the San Diego Padres (-120). “WHAT YOU TALKING BOUT SEANBO?!” Ok, hear me out…as well as the Padres have performed with a staggering list of players on the IL, they’re still only as good as their pitching. Blake Snell has been one of the biggest disappointments on this team, as he has a record of 2 wins – 5 losses, a 4.75 ERA, and has just 71 Ks on the year. Guess who’s starting for the Padres on Friday? Meanwhile, the Twins are battling for the top spot in their division and their righty Joe Ryan (7 wins – 3 losses, 2.89 ERA) has been more reliable than a 2004 Toyota Camry. Let’s ride ‘Ol reliable to another win, and close this Friday out with another dog in the Minnesota Twins moneyline. Until next Friday, MLBBro.com Fam!

In case you missed, it the MLBBro.com family was styling and profiling like “The Nature Boy” Ric Flair during the All Star Festivities! You can call them the Four Horsemen, as the crew of Rob Parker (@robparkerFS1), Kevin Moore (@kevmoore93), Malik Mill (@_teammill), and J.R. Gamble (@fanalyst1) were definitely making their presence known amongst the MLB’s elite black and brown superstars.
From legends in the game like Dusty Baker, Willie Horton, and Dave Winfield to the new generation in Aaron Judge, Giancarlo Stanton, and Mookie Betts…the MLBBros were repping almost as hard as Rob’s fresh pair of Jackie Robinson Dunks! Go check out the coverage throughout the website and @MLBBrodotcom on Twitter. Now if those kicks don’t make you scream WOOOOO(!), then give it up for #BrosBettingBaseball as we continued to dominate in July. No losses again last week (2-0-1), so if you didn’t know your cash better call somebody! Better yet, stick and stay for our picks as we’re coming off the top rope to close out the month!
1. We march out to our first match in the city of brotherly love for a 7:05pm Eastern start, as the Chicago Cubs (+115) travel for a showdown against the Philadelphia Phillies (-135). No Bryce Harper? NO PROBLEM. The Phillies continue to win in the months of June and July, with Kyle Shwarber swinging the lumber like Hacksaw Jim Duggan to the tune of 29 HRs and 58 RBIs. The Cubs, meanwhile, have looked more like the Brooklyn Brawlers of the MLB. Their lefty starter Justin Steele (3 wins – 6 losses, 4.15 ERA) is hardly to blame for their losing ways, but he will again have an uphill battle against the Phillies who are 7th in slugging % and 5th in home runs. Take the home team Phillies Moneyline, as they’ll be looking to drop powerbombs all day against the Cubbies.
2. Now let’s stampede over to dairy country as the Colorado Rockies (+185) lock horns with the suddenly slumping Milwaukee Brewers (-215) at home for a 8:10pm Eastern first pitch. The Rockies righty Antonio Senzatela (3 wins – 5 losses, 4.95 ERA) will play heel as he tries to take the win away from the Brew Crew’s right-hander Corbin Burnes (7 wins – 4 losses, 2.14 ERA). Easier said than done, as Burnes has been a sharpshooter all year with his rock-bottom ERA, stunning 144 strikeouts, and nasty .90 WHIP. After being swept by the San Francisco Giants before the All Star Break, we think the Brewers are a lock to get back to the win column. We’re making the Milwaukee Brewers Moneyline our Bros Best Bet!
3. Don’t look for that flight out of Milwaukee just yet! We’re looking to stack cheese to our heads on the prop pick of the day, and we’re taking Cubs Under 3.5 runs. Corbin is looking to be the Big Boss Man on the mound, and we gave you the numbers to prove it. Don’t sleep on the man, punch that winning trifecta into your favorite sportsbook, and let’s raise the championship belts over our heads like Shawn Michaels at Summerslam 98!

Yuck. One word to describe our last two weeks of picks. 2 total wins and 4 total losses in the last two #BrosBettingBaseball (@bbruh916 / @abookay3) just doesn’t sit right, so I’ve been digging in the stats and looking for hidden gems to get our MLB Bros back in the green this last Friday of June. Things took a turn, but we’ll get you straight! Short intro because I’m going to do less talkin’ and more walkin’ as I throw you my 3 picks of teams also looking to get back off the shh-nnnniiide:
1. The first stop in our redemption campaign takes us to South Beach at 3:40pm Pacific, where the Miami Marlins (-115) welcome the suddenly struggling New York Mets (-105) who are actually a dog against the Florida Fish who are trying to climb out of 4th place in the NL East. The Mets were riding brooms in Houston, as they were swept in their 2-game series. They bring out one of our MLB Bros you need to know, Taijuan Walker (2.88 ERA, RHP), who has been lights out for the team from Queens.
The Marlins have their own ace on the bump, as Sandy Alcantara (1.72 ERA, RHP) has been one of the few bright spots on this squad outside of the shining star Jazz Chisholm (14 HRs, 45 RBIs) when he’s not steeped in drama. I’m keeping the faith in Tai and the Mets top ranked offense (1st in batting average, runs, hits, and on base %) to get past the Marlins, and we’re going with the Mets Moneyline as the Bros Best Bet.
2. Let’s ride the wave…in The Land? You heard that right! The Cleveland Guardians (-105) have pulled themselves out of the gutter and are currently sitting alone in 1st in the AL Central. If you haven’t been watching, they’ve pulled off some stunning comebacks (sorry Twins) in the month of June and their bats have been swinging harder than a 5.0 Mustang at an Oakland sideshow!
Leading the way for the Guardians is Jose Ramirez, who is boasting a .302 ERA, knocked in 62(!) RBIs, and sent 16 HRs to the rafters. Will their resurgence be enough to stop the also hot Boston Red Sox (-115) and their righty Nick Pivetta (3.31 ERA, 7 wins – 5 losses)? We’re banking on Cleveland’s Cal Quantrill (3.77 ERA, 4 wins – 4 losses) to keep the big bats in Boston quiet enough to pull off another win. Take the Guardians Moneyline, as we keep walking the underdogs all over the block on Friday.
3. Let’s stay in middle America and hit up the Southside of the Chi, as the Chicago White Sox (-155) host the Baltimore Orioles (+135). I’m not counting on any comebacks from either starting pitcher, as the Oriole’s righty Kyle Bradish (7.38 ERA, 1 win – 4 losses) and White Sox’s righty Michael Kopech (2.38 ERA, 2 wins – 3 losses) are far from any Cy Young nods this year.
Both pitchers are averaging about 1 strikeout per inning, while both offenses have enjoyed some recent outbursts with a combined 9.2 Runs averaged in their last 5 games. Pound the OVER 8.5 total Runs between the Orioles and White Sox, and let’s hit a triple on this last Friday of June!

It must be matinee day Friday, as the best bets are batting 1-2-3 on the Friday slate:
Seanbo’s BEST bet is batting lead. The Padres w/ Yu Darvish (-160) is an easy pick here against the rebuilding (or tanking if you know their cheap ownership group) Pirates (+140) w/ RHP Zach Thompson. Darvish has been solid on the year with a 4.43 ERA, while Thompson is throwing beach balls floating at 10.80 ERA. Padres HUGE, might even sprinkle some shekels on the -1.5 line for +money odds.
Get the Seattle Mariners before the books move the current line (-130) against the up and down Miami Marlins (+110). Bookies aren’t taking into account the fact that Mariners won’t need to travel far after completing their series at Tampa Bay. Rookie starter Matt Brash (4.2 ERA, 13 SO) will have time to finish his continental breakfast in the hotel dining area before taking the bump and should be fresh to get the Mariners back into the win column after taking a few Ls in Tampa.
Finally, the sleeper pick here is the Boston Red Sox (no line posted) w/ RHP Tanner Houck up against the Orioles w/ RHP rookie Spenser Watkins. With both pitchers hovering near a 2.80 ERA, you look to the batting and the Red Sox are at .236 while the orioles are struggling deeper in the hole at .200. Hence the SLEEPER pick, as you’ll have better luck staying awake watching M*A*S*H reruns with Rob at 2am.
Bet’em straight up, or do like I DO, and throw them in a 3-team parlay, and a 2-team Round Robin Parlay. Gives yourself a chance to win if you hit 2/3. GOOD LUCK, and remember…we keeps it litty in SHEKEL CITY!
