CHC @ BAL — 7/9/2026

Projected final score: BAL 5.3, CHC 5.0
Projected total: 10.3

Baltimore weather is warm and moderately run-positive, with game-window temperatures around the upper 70s to low 80s and thunderstorm risk in the area. That adds a scoring bump, but only a moderate one because rain/storm risk can suppress carry if humidity and delays affect timing.

CHC has the stronger recent team trend, winning seven of nine entering this matchup, including a 5-2 road win over BAL in the series opener. The Cubs’ current lineup has produced well recently, while BAL’s offense is still dangerous but less consistent.

The starter matchup leans BAL by surface run prevention, but not by enough to justify the moneyline price. Peterson’s 6.75 ERA and 1.67 WHIP create major first-5 volatility, while Rogers’ 4.70 ERA is better but still hittable against a Cubs lineup with several right-handed and switch-hitting bats. Current series preview data also flags Rogers as matchup-dependent, with much worse performance against right-handed hitters than left-handed hitters.

Total Under 7.0 (-104) Reid Detmers (LHP), Nathan Eovaldi (RHP) Must Start

Los Angeles starter Reid Detmers projects to give up just 2.2 runs with a 3.22 ERA and 1.13 WHIP.  Texas’ lineup has hit just .059 (3-51) with a weak .256 OPS against Detmers in his career.  The Rangers will start Nathan Eovaldi.  The righty projects to give up 2.1 earned runs with a 2.87 ERA and 0.96 WHIP.  With both starting pitchers projecting well, expect the offenses to struggle resulting in a low-scoring game on Thursday night.

(971) Kansas City Royals at (972) New York Mets: Total
Date/Time:
Play:
Total Over 9.0 (-115) Action

On the over for day action in New York as the Royals take on the Mets. Projected to be mid 80's with double digit wind blowing out in Citi Field on Thursday. The Kansas City bats are scorching hot the last couple days, in fact the Royals have doubled the game total in each of their games on Monday and Tuesday of this week, meaning the final score was twice as much as the oddsmakers number. Additionally, the Mets have cashed the over in their last four games heading into Wednesday night.

Mets starter Sean Manaea gave up 6 earned runs his last time out. The aging lefty is (1-4) on the season with north of a 5 ERA. Royals starter Michael Wacha has decent numbers, although he gave up 10 hits and 5 earned runs last time pitching in Citi Field. Neither bullpen ranks in the top half across MLB by my pen ratings. This one just missed the client card. For the Thursday free pick- Bet over.

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:

You'll find MLB pitching prop picks from WagerTalk all during the long long MLB season.   Like hitting props, bettors can get some terrific ML picks free from WagerTalk - pitcher prop picks that help them select how their ace pitcher will perform on the mound. Each starting pitcher usually receives a list of pitching props, such as: 'Total Pitching Strikeouts', 'Total Hits Allowed', 'Total Outs Recorded', 'Total Earned Runs Allowed', and more.

Same Game Parlay MLB Best Bets:

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!
