Date/Time:

Seattle Mariners -125 Action

FREE PICK on Seattle Mariners (ML) | Good until -145.

Pitching Matchup: Logan Gilbert/Max Scherzer (Action).

Both of these teams have had down seasons considering what they each accomplished last year. But, with the rosters in mind, there's little to no reason why the Mariners shouldn't be contenders again. With only a month remaining Seattle is four games back of the final wildcard spot and 2.5 games back of Toronto. Logan Gilbert nearly pitched a no hitter the last time he faced Toronto (7.1 innings - 1 hit). Max Scherzer just isn't the same as he once was. Go with Seattle.

Date/Time:
Play:
Philadelphia Phillies -1.5 (-135) Cristopher Sanchez (LHP), Ryan Johnson (RHP) Must Start

PHILADELPHIA -1.5 vs ANGELS

Philadelphia holds an edge in every part of this matchup. Cristopher Sánchez faces an Angels lineup that can't hit LHP,while the Angels send their gas can to the mound in Ryan Johnson. While he's pitched decently in his last couple of starts, he's been terrible all season, and the Phillies have been top 5 vs. right-handed pitchers over the last few weeks. Los Angeles used five relievers Friday while Philadelphia still has Jhoan Duran and Orion Kerkering available. Phillies in a blowout win.

Phillies 1st 5 moneyline is more from a safety standpoint than Phillies F5 -0.5, because this matchup has a realistic chance of being low scoring. The ML gives you the valuable tie = push protection.

Phillies F5 Moneyline — Pros

1. Cristopher Sánchez is the clear starting-pitching advantage. MLB currently lists Sánchez at 16-4, 2.62 ERA, 194 K against Ryan Johnson at 3-7, 5.75 ERA, 50 K. For an F5 wager, that enormous starter gap is the central argument.

2. Sánchez has been terrific in August. In five August starts:

Sánchez — August

7

ERA

2.12

Strikeouts

37

Starts allowing 0–2 ER

4 of 5

He allowed 0, 2, 0, 1 and 4 earned runs in those five starts.

That gives Philadelphia a very good chance of keeping the Angels around 0–1 runs through five.

3. The Angels have a particularly useful weakness against LHP. Los Angeles hitters have struck out in about 30% of their plate appearances against left-handed pitching, fifth-highest in MLB according to the current Inside Edge data. Sánchez is exactly the sort of high-strikeout lefty who can exploit that.

4. Philadelphia has the offensive advantage. Current season numbers show:

Offense

Phillies

Angels

Runs

608

548

OPS

.715

.684

HR

161

132

So you're pairing the better F5 starter with the better offense, rather than relying only on Sánchez.

5. The ML is especially attractive because this looks like a lower-scoring F5. The current F5 total is around 4.5, with the Under priced around -118 at one source.

That's important.

In a low-scoring five-inning environment, scores such as:

0-0
1-1
2-2

become more likely.

With PHI F5 -0.5, every one is a loss.

With PHI F5 ML, every one is a push.

That's a meaningful advantage in this particular matchup.

6. You completely remove the bullpen from the handicap. I want this bet primarily because of Sánchez vs. Johnson. F5 allows us to concentrate the wager on exactly that advantage instead of paying for what happens innings 6-9.

One legitimate concern: Ryan Johnson's last start

Don't ignore this.

Johnson just threw:

7 IP
1 H
0 R
2 BB
3 K

against Texas. It was easily one of his strongest performances.

So his 5.75 ERA probably overstates how bad he is right now.

And Sánchez wasn't perfect last time either, allowing four runs against St. Louis.

How I see the first five

My most likely scoring range is roughly:

PHI: 2–3
LAA: 0–1

And the distribution is exactly why I prefer F5 ML over laying -0.5 if the price difference isn't excessive.

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.  Find even more free MLB picks and player props at our sister site. 

Our daily HR home prop article is the most popular such article online!

Pitching Props Free MLB Picks of the Day:

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!
