MLB handicapping professional Ross Benjamin outlines 3 very profitable MLB betting angles that are applicable to Tuesday night’s card.

Arizona Diamondbacks (Godley) @ Pittsburgh Pirates (Kuhl)

Game# 903-904

The MLB odds at 5Dimes indicates that both teams have a money line of -105. There’s a scheduled start time of 7:05 PM ET at PNC Park in Pittsburgh.

Pittsburgh’s Chad Kuhl has compiled a 3.76 ERA during 14 starts this season. He’ll be facing an Arizona team which averages 4.4 runs scored per game. The Diamondbacks bullpen has a combined 1.13 WHIP in 2018. Hence, it creates a very profitable MLB betting algorithm which follows.

Any team (Arizona) with a money line of +125 to -125 that averages 4.0 to 4.5 runs scored per game, and possesses a bullpen WHIP of 1.25 or less, versus a National League starting pitcher (Kuhl) owning an ERA of 3.70 to 4.20, resulted in those teams going 38-13 (74.5%) since 2014.

Pick: Arizona Diamondbacks -105

 

St. Louis Cardinals (Martinez) @ Milwaukee Brewers (Suter)

Game# 907-908

The Cardinals and Brewers are set to begin a NL Central Division 4-game series on Thursday night. The opening pitch at Miller Park in Milwaukee is slated for 8:10 PM ET. According to the MLB betting odds at Heritage, Milwaukee is currently a money line home favorite of -121.

Milwaukee’s southpaw hurler Brent Suter has walked only 1 man in each of his last 2 starts. The Brewers bullpen has really struggled throughout their last 5 games while collecting a massive 2.29 WHIP. The combination of this statistical data and the present money line sets up a high percentage MLB betting angle which is displayed below.

Any money line home favorite of -110 or more (Milwaukee) with a starting pitcher (Suter) that’s issued 1 walk or less in each of his previous 2 starts, and their bullpen has a WHIP of 2.00 or greater thru its last 5 games, resulted in those home favorites going 38-6 (86.4%) since 2014.

Pick: Milwaukee Brewers -121

 

Oakland A’s (Bassitt) @ Chicago White Sox (Giolito)

Game# 915-916

BetOnline.com is showing Oakland as a money line favorite of -123. The opening pitch at US Cellular Field in Chicago is set for 8:10 PM ET.

The Oakland A’s have a poor .305 team on base percentage this year. However, they’re coming off an offensive explosion during a 12-4 rout over San Diego on Wednesday. It adds up to a moneymaking MLB betting angle which is exhibited in the next paragraph.

Any American League money line favorite of -110 or more that has a team on base percentage of .310 or worse, and they scored 12 runs or more during their previous game, resulted in those favorites going 45-15 (75%) since 1997.

When considering the White Sox have lost 7 games in a row in addition to Oakland winning 4 straight, and the previously mentioned MLB betting angle, I would be remiss not to make the A’s as one of my MLB free picks on Thursday.

Pick: Oakland A’s -123
