MLB Expert Picks & Predictions

Free Expert MLB Computer Picks 

Our stats-driven MLB computer picks are designed to give you an edge over your fellow bettors. We feed a wealth of past performance data into a powerful AI program, which crunches the numbers and projects how games will unfold. You can bookmark this page and return for regular MLB computer picks while line shopping for the best MLB odds, and keep reading to learn how they work.

How Do MLB Computer Picks Work?

MLB picks remove all human emotion and bias from the betting process. The AI program uses advanced analytics to assess the strengths and weaknesses of both teams. It uses reams of past performance stats from each team and player, and then it pits the teams against one another in a huge volume of simulations. The computer aggregates its findings and predicts how many runs each team will score. That allows us to deduce moneyline, run line and total runs picks on MLB games.

MLB Moneyline Computer Picks for This Week

An MLB moneyline bet is a straightforward wager on which team will win. Our MLB moneyline computer picks can suggest which teams deserve their status as favorites and which underdogs stand a great chance of upsetting the odds.

MLB Run Line Computer Picks for this Week

The run line is similar to a point spread on a football or basketball game. The superior team (the moneyline favorite) is given a 1.5-run handicap, and you can bet on which team will then cover it. Our MLB run line computer picks can help you decide.

MLB Total Runs Computer Picks for This Week

This is a simple bet on how many runs will be scored in a game. The sports betting apps provide a run line, and you just bet on “over” or “under”. Our MLB run total computer picks help you out by using data to predict how many runs each team will score. There are often large differences between the total runs line and the overall number of runs our computer expects.

MLB Player Props Computer Picks this Week

You can place MLB player props on markets such as runs, home runs, RBIs, stolen bases and strikeouts. Our computer picks can help bettors decide whether “over” or “under” will pay off on those prop markets by assessing the strengths of the various players and the quality of the opposition.

MLB Against the Spread Season Records

Our MLB run line records show you how frequently each team has covered during the regular season. You can also check each team’s straight-up and over/under record.

Weekly MLB Public Betting Consensus

It is useful to learn the public betting consensus, as it can highlight opportunities to fade the public. If most people bet on one team, the sportsbooks generally offer less attractive odds on that team and more valuable odds on the opposing team. They prefer a balanced volume of wagers, as it stops them from getting killed if a result goes against them. Understanding the public consensus can show you when it might make sense to bet on an unpopular team at inflated odds.

Our MLB injury reports ensure you are armed with all the facts before placing a bet. We do not want you to regret a wager after learning all too late that an important player was missing, so check our news updates each day.
