Best Baseball Picks – Tuesday, August 19
1. Dodgers vs. Rockies – YRFI (–165)
Both teams project for early scoring, especially at Coors Field. Didn’t happen yesterday but it’s happening today!
2. Mets –1.5 (–125) vs. Nationals
The line fits the matchup: Mets are favored (–206 ML) and getting –1.5 at –125 is smart value. Starting pitcher edge supports this lean.
3. Blue Jays ML (–157) @ Pirates
Toronto enters as –157 favorites with a clear starting pitching advantage. This is the strongest ML value on the board.
4. Phillies –1.5 (+120) vs. Mariners
Phillies at +120 on the runline is justified by their superior pitching matchups and consistent lineup.
