Miami Marlins vs. Cincinnati Reds
Tuesday, July 08, 2025 – 07:10 PM EDT at Great American Ball Park
Our AI Model thinks the Marlins will earn a 4.8-4.1 win over the Reds tonight. Yet, the Marlins are +115 on the moneyline and are underdogs. This is a play you’ll want to consider.
Has Eury Perez Turned The Corner?
The Marlins finally have Eury Perez back in the rotation. After a handful of starts, he’s starting to get back into form. He has allowed a .111 ISO and wOBA of .262 this season. He’s also limited opponents to 19.7% of line drives. While the strikeouts aren’t there, Perez should still have success when facing the Reds.
After all, the Reds’ projected lineup has hit a .145 ISO and wOBA of .277 over the last 30 days against righties.
On the other hand, it’ll be Nick Martinez for the Reds. Martinez was close to a no-hitter in his last start. But still, he’s allowed a .299 ISO and wOBA of .368 to his last 106 batters. He’s also averaged just 62 pitches per start and has struck out just 17% of batters during the previous month.
He’s even allowed more fly balls than ground balls induced over the last month.
The Pick
I’d much rather back Eury Perez at an underdog price.
MLB Pick: Marlins ML (+115) at Bet365
Texas Rangers vs. Los Angeles Angels
Tuesday, July 08, 2025 – 09:38 PM EDT at Angel Stadium
The AI Model suggests the Angels will dominate the Rangers, 4.5-3.8. But the Angels, even at home, are only +100 on the moneyline. Buy the Angels tonight!
Take The Home Team!
It’s likely going to be a pitcher’s duel in Los Angeles.
The Rangers will roll with Nathan Eovaldi. He’s a righty who has allowed a .347 wOBA to his last 19 lefties. But ultimately, he’s been very good all year.
Meanwhile, he’ll take on Jose Soriano of the Angels, who has been even better. Soriano has allowed a .070 ISO and wOBA of .242 against his last 126 batters. He’s also struck out 31% of batters during the previous 30 days and has induced 67.5% of ground balls.
Neither offense has been terrific as of late. But Soriano certainly has the better numbers between the two pitchers.
The Pick
I’ll ride the Angels at +100 tonight.
MLB Pick: Angels ML (+100) at Caesars Sportsbook
Philadelphia Phillies vs. San Francisco Giants
Tuesday, July 08, 2025 – 09:45 PM EDT at Oracle Park
The AI Model believes the Phillies will only lose to the Giants, 4.1-3.7. However, you can get the Phillies at +130 on the moneyline. There’s value, especially since the AI Model thinks this game will be tight and close.
Taijuan Walker Has Improved!
The Phillies will roll with Taijuan Walker tonight.
He’s a right-hander who has faced 38 batters over the last 30 days. Ultimately, he’s added 48.3% of ground balls and has allowed just 13.8% of line drives. He’s even limited walks to 7.9%. Don’t expect a high rate of strikeouts. But if he continues to put up those kinds of numbers, Walker will start to see better results.
Meanwhile, he’ll go up against Robbie Ray of the Giants. Ray has allowed a .224 ISO and wOBA of .311 to his last 125 batters. Ray has only induced 39.1% of ground balls and has allowed more than 33% of fly balls during that time.
The Phillies have more power in the lineup. The projected lineup has also hit nearly 60% hard contact collectively.
The Pick
Let’s give the Phillies a try at +130.
