Astros ML (+107) 3%
Love grabbing plus money when the numbers are this lopsided. Peter Lambert's been sharp on the mound, and Houston's offense is one of the best going right now. On the other side, Michael King hasn't given hitters much trouble lately, and San Diego's bullpen has been leaking runs too. Good arm, hot lineup, a shaky pitcher and pen on the other side, and you're still getting paid extra to take it. Astros ML is the play.

Ben Burns & Ross "The Boss" Benjamin Football Combo: +300 Units Over the Last 3 Years!
Two of the sharpest football minds on the board. One package that covers everything from the first preseason kickoff through the final whistle of Championship season.
Ben Burns owns the NFL. Ross "The Boss" Benjamin owns College Football. Put them together, and you get one of the most productive football combos anywhere.
Here is what these two have done over the last three seasons.
Ben Burns, NFL
2025: +62.46 units, 63.6% (49-28-1), 21.2% ROI
2024: +63.19 units, 67.1% (57-28-0), 21.4% ROI
2023: +19.42 units, 56.4% (57-44-2), 6.0% ROI
Ross "The Boss" Benjamin, College Football
2025: +75.99 units, 63.1% (53-31-2), 27.0% ROI
2024: +44.99 units, 60.6% (63-41-2), 13.5% ROI
2023: +34.78 units, 57.9% (66-48-0), 9.3% ROI
Combined, that is +300.83 units over three seasons.
What does that look like in real money? A $100 bettor following both would be up $30,083. A $500 bettor would be up $150,415.
Your Combo Includes:
Preseason, regular season, postseason, Championship, and every 5% Best Bet from both Ben and Ross across NFL and College Football.
Lock in both guys for the entire football season and let two proven winners do the heavy lifting!
Game Analysis: The Brewers are coming off last night's 8-6 home loss to the Twins. However, Milwaukee is 6-1 during their last 7 and 10-3 in its previous 13 games immediately after suffering a loss. Robert Gasser has displayed very good form over his last 3 starts with a 2.25 ERA/0.88 WHIP and a 7.5:1 strikeout to walk ratio. The Milwaukee bullpen staff has a stellar 1.80 ERA/0.92 WHIP, 4.4:1 strikeout to walk ration, and converted on all 4 save opportunities throughout their previous 7 games.
The current Brewers roster has gone 7-for-21 (.333 BA/.364 OBOP) and hit 2 homers lifetime against today's Twins starting pitcher Taj Bradley. The Minnesota bullpen staff has a shaky 1.58 WHIP as a staff over their last 6 games. The current Twins active roster is just 3-for15 (.200 BA) lifetime against Robert Gasser.
Bet the Milwaukee Brewers as a money line home favorite of -140 or lower.

SCHEREZ/ NOLA
GOOD TO 170
We are almost at the top of our number in what we lay for a ML but this is all about going against Max. We are not buying what he is selling even after a solid start in his last turn. Big bounce back spot for the Phillies here and with Nola not having his best season we like him to hold down a Jays team who are not close to who they were last season. Actually the trade deadline shows they have kind of packed it in. We do make this a smaller play as Nola has been really bad so far this season. We will look for the Phillies to score enough on Max for the first 5 win.

(953) Cincinnati Reds at (954) Washington Nationals: Andrew Alvarez Strikeouts
Andrew Alvarez Strikeouts Over 4.5 (-125)
Cincinnati Reds Performance Analysis:
Significant Struggles vs. Southpaws: The Reds' offense has been one of the most strikeout-prone units in the league recently, particularly when facing left-handed pitching (LHP). This vulnerability has created a highly profitable environment for opposing starters.
Systemic Strikeout Trend: Hitters in the Cincinnati lineup have consistently struggled to make contact against lefties; 7 out of the last 9 (77.8%) left-handed starters to face the Reds have recorded 5+ strikeouts.
Alvarez Performance Analysis:
Consistent Strikeout Floor: Alvarez enters this matchup as a reliable candidate to exploit Cincinnati's contact issues. He has successfully surpassed his projected strikeout total in 5 of his last 9 (55.6%) starts overall.
Home Field Stability: Alvarez maintains his consistency when pitching in his own park, having cleared his strikeout production mark in 5 of his last 9 (55.6%) home starts.

The Astros beat the Padres last night, Robbie Ray taking the loss. The Padres are 4-0 the past four times that they were coming off a loss. They won those four games by a combined score of 25-7, too. King has arguably pitched better than his 6-8 record suggests. He's got a respectable 3.45 ERA and 1.20 WHIP. He allowed five runs in a start at Washington in late May but that was the only time he's allowed more than four all season. In 11 starts since the start of June, averaging just shy of six innings per, he's allowed just 26 total runs, an average of 2.36 per start. In other words, he gives the Padres a chance to win nearly every time he takes the mound. The Padres are 25-18 (+8.8) in day games. Play SD. *good to -130

The Astros are reminding everyone that they’ve been here in stretch drives before, which means potential bad news for AL West foes as Houston establishes a grip on the division lead with the season moving around the far turn.
Last night it was a 6-3 win at San Diego behind 4 2/3 shutout innings from the bullpen, plus a pair of homers by RF Cam Smith. Tonight on the hill at Petco Park is Peter Lambert, who has quietly emerged as the Astro ace with Houston winning in 10 of his last 13 starts, with a 2.56 ERA since the start of June. Meanwhile, Padre counterpart Michael King seems to be wobbling, allowing 3 homers across his last two shaky outings. Play Astros on Money Line

Run Line Picks, Moneylines, MLB Props, MLB Parlays from WagerTalk:
WagerTalk offers you free MLB predictions and betting picks every day of 2026 for MLB games - from the Pirates to the Giants to.. well, every team in Major League Baseball. And don't forget our daily HR Props!
What Free MLB Picks Does WagerTalk Offer In 2026?
WagerTalk offers every type of MLB expert picks you could possibly want. At WagerTalk you'll find daily free MLB picks that include:
Moneyline MLB Picks Free:
Naturally. You have to offer moneyline picks and WagerTalk certainly does for MLB.
Free MLB RunLine Picks:
You'll find MLB runline picks galore at WagerTalk. So what is the runline and why should you bet on it? Well, simple!
The runline is baseball's version of the point spread. When betting on the runline, the favorite is -1.5 runs on the spread, with the underdog at +1.5 runs. Betting on the favorite requires your team to win its game by two or more runs. Truly, the runline is the great equalizer - it's just a little easier to place a bet when you've got a 2 run head start, right?
WagerTalk's expert MLB handicappers are runline prediction masterminds.
Totals Betting Best Picks for MLB:
Total runs betting picks are an absolute staple of WagerTalk MLB handicappers. A major component of how to bet on baseball, a total runs wager is super straightforward, as the customer is picking whether the two teams will score over or under the listed number of runs combined during the game. The great part of a total runs pick is that you're basically just rooting for a ton of scoring. Everybody loves that.
Free Hitter Props Markets MLB Predictions - Including Daily Home Run Prop Picks:
WagerTalk offers MLB player props for hitters throughout the year. A great betting market, you're simply betting on how a specific batter will perform during a game - the perfect market to bet if you're more of a player of an MLB hitter than an MLB team.

Which American League Teams Have Won The Most Regular Season Games?
The top winning team here is the Seattle Mariners of 2001. They grabbed 116 wins, but then simply choked and lost the ALCS. After the Mariners the Yankees in 1998 won a ton of games - 114, in fact, and won the World Series to boot.
After those two MLB behemoths, the Cleveland Indians won 111 times in the regular season in 1954, the Yankees captured 110 wins way back in 1927 and then we have the Baltimore Orioles winning 109 wins in 1969 - but failed to win the World Series.
Which National League Teams Have Won The Most Regular Season Games?
The Chicago Cubs take it. 116 games in 1906. Nuts. They went 116-36. The LA Dodgers plop in behind them, going 111-51 in 2022. The 1909 Pirates pulled off 110 wins. The Mets (really! The Mets!) won a whopping 108 games in 1986 and the Cincy Red of 1975 tied them at 108 games won as well.
Which Teams Have Won the Most World Series'?
Wait, the World Series has been happening since 1903? Indeed it has! And man have we seen a lot of winners and quite a few dynasties.
Naturally, the Yankees top the list of dynasties - they've captured 27 World Series titles. Following WAY behind the Yankees are the St Louis Cardinals with 11 titles, the Boston Red Sox and Oakland Athletics with 9 apiece, and the San Francisco Giants with 8 World Series titles.
Which Player Has Won the Most World Series Titles?
Yogi Berra. Nothing else to say here, obviously it was Yogi. 10 World Series titles!
