Best Baseball Picks – Thursday, August 14
Mariners ML (-131) @ Orioles (+109)
Seattle’s pitching advantage and steady offense make them the rightful road favorite here. Baltimore’s lineup has been inconsistent against strong right-handers, giving the Mariners a clear edge.
Cubs ML (-112) @ Blue Jays (-108)
Even matchup on paper, but Cubs’ recent bullpen performance has been far steadier than Toronto’s. With the Jays struggling to hit for power lately, Chicago has value as a near-even pick.
Guardians ML (-122) vs. Marlins (+102)
Cleveland has the better starter and bullpen in this matchup. Miami has been struggling offensively, especially against high-strikeout righties, which plays into the Guardians’ strengths.
