MLB Free Prop Bets - Free MLB Picks 5/13

Rafael Devers (BOS) Over 1.5 Total Bases (-105; Fan Duel)

Rafael Devers was off to a slow start to the season due to injuries, but he is hitting the ball better. Devers has four home runs this season, but he is heating up, notching two doubles over the weekend. Tonight, he gets an amazing matchup against the Rays. Devers is batting .296 against right-handed pitching, and all four of his 11 homers have come off a righty. Six of his nine doubles have come against righties. Devers is 5-11 in his career off of Zach Eflin, with two home runs and two doubles.

Last season, Eflin allowed nine of his 19 home runs to lefties, and this season, he has allowed one of his seven home runs to lefties. Eflin's seven home runs allowed are near the top of the league. The Rays have one of the worst bullpens in baseball, and they are susceptible to the long ball and they have bad advanced metrics.. We are backing the best hitter on the Red Sox to continue his success against Eflin and the Rays.

Nick Castellanos (PHI) Over .5 Total Bases (+140; Caesars)

Nick Castellanos is one of the streakiest hitters in the MLB, but he has caught his groove. Castellonos went yard twice this past series, and he has four home runs this season. Two of his four home runs have come off of left-handed pitchers, and today at Citi Field, he certainly has a chance to hit his fifth of the year or put one in a gap.

Sean Manaea has allowed just one home run so far this season, but the way Castellanos is swinging the bat, we are riding the hot bat. Castellanos is 5-8 against Manaea, with two home runs and a double. He has an average exit velocity of 96.4 miles per hour and an average launch angle of 16.9 degrees. Casteallanos' ability to beat up lefties in his current form and his history against Manaea make this one of the best looks of the day.

Reynaldo Lopez (ATL) Over 5.5 Strikeouts (+122; FanDuel)

Lopez's strikeout numbers have been great this season, and tonight, he has a great matchup against the strikeout-heavy Cubs. Lopez is in the 69th percentile for K rate, the 72nd for whiff percentage, and the 68th for chase rate. He has cleared this number in four starts this season.

Chicago is 10th in the MLB in whiff rate this season. Over their last 14 games, the Cubs have a 23.8% K rate against right-handed pitching, which is one of the worst marks in the MLB. On the season, their Cubs K rate against righties is 23.7%, so it is right in line with their current form. Lopez has a 35.3% K rate in 17 plate appearances against the Cubs' current roster.

(917) Cleveland Guardians at (918) Texas Rangers
Date/Time:
Play:
Total Over 9.0 (-104) T Bibee (RHP), M Lorenzen (RHP) Must Start

917 Cleveland at Texas

The Guardians finally came alive yesterday against the White Sox to salvage a game in the series. Texas really struggled offensively against a poor Colorado pitching staff. Despite the fact that neither team is hitting well, we like the offenses to do some damage here. 

Tanner Bibee has managed some decent nimbers thus far, but his fastball run value is in the 1st percentile according to Baseball Savant. If you are getting hit on your fastball at this level, yiou are going to get hit hard. Michael Lorenzen signed late and is still not up to where he would be with a full spring training. We take advantage of that on Monday.

Date/Time:
Play:
San Diego Padres -1.5 (-103) D Hudson (RHP), R Vasquez (RHP) Must Start

Colorado starter Dakota Hudson projects to give up 3.2 runs with a 5.24 ERA and 1.47 WHIP.  San Diego’s lineup has hit a solid .306 (19-62) with a strong .842 OPS against Hudson in his career.  The Padres will start Randy Vasquez.  The righty projects to give up just 1.9 earned runs with a 3.08 ERA and 1.07 WHIP.  With the starting pitching clearly in San Diego’s favor, look for the Padres to notch an easy home win in this game on Monday night.

(901) Philadelphia Phillies at (902) New York Mets
Date/Time:
Play:
Philadelphia Phillies -119 C Sanchez (LHP), S Manaea (LHP) Must Start

Jumping back on the Phillies after the setback yesterday. Philadelphia is sporting the best record in baseball and has been great on the road, going (13-6) on the highway. Starter Christopher Sanchez has been great, letting up 1 earned run in four of his last five starts. 

The Mets are coming off a nice come from behind win in Sunday Night Baseball. Sean Manaea gets the start and the lefty has decent overall numbers, although just a 31/19 strikeout to walk ratio. That many free passes and not missing very many bats is a tough matchup going against one of the best lineups in MLB. 

Phillies bullpen has pitched better of late. Laying less than 20 cents in the overnight betting markets is what we are hammering. This number likely inflates by first pitch. Bet the Phillies. 

Talked about this game on today's “Drew's Daily Diamond” which should be posted on the Wagertalk Youtube….

  • HOU is no slouch vs RHP, but OAK trumps them in each category by a good margin
  • OAK has a much better bullpen (top 5) vs a bottom 10 in HOU

Event:
(921) Kansas City Royals at (922) Seattle Mariners
Date/Time:
Play:
Kansas City Royals +133 B Singer (RHP), G Kirby (RHP) Must Start

KC +133

 

The Royals enter today with the 3rd highest batting average across the last 15 days (.264) and are doing so with plate discipline as they have struck out the 5th lowest across the league (90 K’s). The Mariners have had the opposite success as they are hitting .233 but have struck out 136 times.

 

Kirby takes the ball for the Mariners who did have good outings 3 and 4 starts back but was against 2 weak lineups in COL/ARI. His strike out numbers are down so far this year, and he was touched up for 4 earned runs while giving up 3 homeruns last time out against MIN. Brady Singer has been a pitcher that the Royals can depend on as he has only given up more than 1 earned run in 2 of his 8 starts so far this season and now faces a lineup is who prone to extend the strike zone.

Washington Nationals -127 T Williams (RHP) Must Start

Washington Nationals (-127) over Chi. White Sox — WAS w/ Williams — 

Williams has been dominant this season so far, 4-0 w/ a 1.96 ERA! On top of that, the Nationals have been a better team on the road this season and come into Chicago against a White Sox team that definitely over-performed vs. expectations this weekend. 

Chicago has put up just 2.7 runs/game in the L7 but they still managed to take 3 out 4 from Cleveland in the divisional series this weekend. Cleveland has struggled in the L2Y vs. the AL Central though, and I don’t think that momentum will continue into the inter-league series for the White Sox. 

Chicago is just 10-24 vs. RHP TY and Williams is one of the hottest pitchers in the league early in this 2024 season.

Event:
(925) Washington Nationals at (926) Chicago White Sox
Date/Time:
Play:
Washington Nationals -127 T Williams (RHP), C Flexen (RHP) Must Start

The Nationals start a three game series with the White Sox in Chicago. Washington will start Trevor Williams who has been their best starter. He's 4-0 with a 1.96 ERA and a 1.06 WHIP. He's only allowed 27 hits in 36.2 innings and he's yet to give up a home run. He's facing a White Sox team that is dead last in MLB in batting average, OPS and wRC+ on the season. The Nationals will go up against Chris Flexen. His numbers aren't a far departure from what happened last year with a 4.29 ERA and 1.21 WHIP. The White Sox bullpen isn't terrible but gives up a ton of this and has a bottom five bullpen WHIP and they've given up the fourth most home runs of any bullpen this year. This a a great price for a Nationals team that is 6-1 when Williams is on the mound.

What Free MLB Picks Does WagerTalk Offer In 2024?

WagerTalk offers every type of MLB expert picks you could possibly want.  At WagerTalk you'll find daily free MLB picks that include: 

Moneyline MLB Picks Free:  

Naturally.  You have to offer moneyline picks and WagerTalk certainly does for MLB. 

MLB RunLine Picks: 

You'll find MLB runline picks galore at WagerTalk.  So what is the runline and why should you bet on it?  Well, simple!

The runline is baseball's version of the point spread. When betting on the runline, the favorite is -1.5 runs on the spread, with the underdog at +1.5 runs. Betting on the favorite requires your team to win its game by two or more runs. Truly, the runline is the great equalizer - it's just a little easier to place a bet when you've got a 2 run head start, right?

WagerTalk's expert MLB handicappers are runline prediction masterminds.  

Free Total Runs Betting MLB Picks:

Total runs betting picks are an absolute staple of WagerTalk MLB handicappers. A major component of how to bet on baseball, a total runs wager is super straightforward, as the customer is picking whether the two teams will score over or under the listed number of runs combined during the game. The great part of a total runs pick is that you're basically just rooting for a ton of scoring.  Everybody loves that. 

Free Hitter Props Markets MLB Predictions - Including Daily Home Run Prop Picks:

WagerTalk offers MLB player props for hitters throughout the year.  A great betting market, you're simply betting on how a specific batter will perform during a game - the perfect market to bet if you're more of a player of an MLB hitter than an MLB team.  Find even more free MLB picks and player props at our sister site. 

Our daily HR home prop article is the most popular such article online!

Pitching Props Free MLB Picks:

You'll find MLB pitching prop picks from WagerTalk all during the long long MLB season.   Like hitting props, bettors can get some terrific ML picks free from WagerTalk - pitcher prop picks that help them select how their ace pitcher will perform on the mound.

Fun MLB Stats - History Guides Your MLB Bets?

Which American League Teams Have Won The Most Regular Season Games?

The top winning team here is the Seattle Mariners of 2001.  They grabbed 116 wins, but then… choked and lost the ALCS. After the Mariners the Yankees in 1998 won a ton of games - 114, in fact, and won the World Series to boot.

After those two MLB behemoths, the Cleveland Indians won 111 times in the regular season in 1954,  the Yankees captured 110 wins way back in 1927 and then we have the Baltimore Orioles winning 109 wins in 1969 - but failed to win the World Series.

Which National League Teams Have Won The Most Regular Season Games?

The Chicago Cubs take it.  116 games in 1906. Nuts.  They went 116-36.  The LA Dodgers plop in behind them, going 111-51 in 2022.  The 1909 Pirates pulled off 110 wins.  The Mets (really! The Mets!) won a whopping 108 games in 1986 and the Cincy Red of 1975 tied them at 108 games won as well. 

Which Teams Have Won the Most World Series'?

Wait, the World Series has been happening since 1903?  Indeed it has!  And man have we seen a lot of winners and quite a few dynasties. 

Naturally, the Yankees top the list of dynasties - they've captured 27 World Series titles.  Following WAY behind the Yankees are the St Louis Cardinals with 11 titles, the Boston Red Sox and Oakland Athletics with 9 apiece, and the San Francisco Giants with 8 World Series titles.

Which Player Has Won the Most World Series Titles?

Yogi Berra.  Nothing else to say here, obviously it was Yogi.  10 World Series titles!
