SEA @ CHW — 5/8/2026
Projected score: SEA 4.1, CHW 3.6
Projected total: 7.7 runs
Projected first 5: SEA 2.0, CHW 1.6
Best model lean: First 5 Under 4.0
Moneyline lean: Pass
Full-game total lean: Pass at 7.5 / Under only if market is 8.5
Seattle has the better pitching baseline: 3.63 team ERA, 1.22 WHIP, and 3.9 runs allowed/game, while Chicago sits at 4.23 team ERA, 1.35 WHIP, and 4.6 runs allowed/game. Chicago has the slightly better offensive profile by OPS, HR, and runs/game: .229/.322/.380/.702, 45 HR, 4.2 runs/game, compared with Seattle at .229/.319/.377/.696, 42 HR, 4.0 runs/game.
Hancock has the stronger strikeout/command profile: 41 2/3 IP, 34 H, 12 ER, 6 BB, 46 K, 0.96 WHIP. Burke is also in excellent form: 39 2/3 IP, 32 H, 12 ER, 8 BB, 32 K, 1.01 WHIP, and he enters with a 14 1/3-inning scoreless streak.
Seattle and Chicago both had Thursday off. Seattle is coming off a 3-1 win over Atlanta, while Chicago returns home after a West Coast road trip and has lost two straight; the return-home flat-spot deduction applies to Chicago’s bats.
Weather is run-suppressive: around 51–59°F, mostly clear, with light wind. Rate Field can carry for power in warmer conditions, but cool May night weather reduces HR carry enough to keep the full-game projection below a normal warm-weather number.

The Cubs have yet to lose in May and ride a 9 game winning streak into Arlington after putting up another crooked number yesterday. The North Side is 3rd in baseball in runs scored and top 4 in batting average, home runs, and OPS. Ben Brown is scheduled to make his first start in the opener, and he’s been very good in relief, posting a 2.10 ERA in 12 appearances. Kumar Rocker was just rocked for 5 earned in 2 innings, and Texas has lost 4 of their past 5 games. Take the Cubs.

The Nats have played better than expected, especially on the road where they’re 12-7 this season, which is hard to explain considering their 6-13 home mark. (Huh?) One of the surprise packages has been 30-year old journeyman Foster Griffin, finally getting his first crack at a spot in a rotation and making the most of it with a 3-1 mark and 2.27 ERA.
Meanwhile the Marlins have lost five of seven on this homestand and roll the dice with Robby Snelling making his MLB debut on the mound tonight. Play Nats on Money Line

These starters have both been pitching very well. Through seven appearances, five starts, Burke has a 2.72 ERA and 1.01 WHIP. Over his past two starts, he's allowed 0 earned runs through 13 1/3 innings. During that span, he gave up just seven combined hits. He struck out 12 while walking just one. Those games had scores of 4-0 and 2-1. Not to be outdone, Hancock has a 2.59 ERA and 0.96 WHIP through his seven starts. He's averaging six innings per outing and he went seven last time out. During those seven innings, he recorded a whopping 14 K's without walking a batter. That game had a final score of 3-2, as did his previous start before that. Expect another well-pitched affair. *good at 7.5 and up but do your best to get 8

Straight fade on the Giants to start off the weekend. SF is just (1-5) in the month of May and rank dead last in MLB in runs produced. They are ice cold scoring 1 run or less 4 times already this month. The Pirates have scored more than 60 runs more than the Giants on the season and have Mlodzinki on the hill who has racked up 40 strikeouts year to date. Getting down on Pittsburgh as today's free play.

Looking for free MLB picks from professional Major League Baseball Handicappers? Â Wagertalk's expert handicappers provide top daily MLB expert picks at absolutely no charge. Â
Free MLB Picks - 2026 MLB Picks and Predictions From Experts
Here you can find free MLB expert betting picks from WagerTalk's elite team of handicappers. Detailed game previews, analysis, and predictions backed by statistics. Get going with 100% FREE hot MLB picks of the day - get an edge.
Run Line Picks, Moneylines, MLB Props, MLB Parlays from WagerTalk:Â
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. Â 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. Â At WagerTalk you'll find daily free MLB picks that include:Â
Moneyline MLB Picks Free: Â
Naturally. Â You have to offer moneyline picks and WagerTalk certainly does for MLB.Â
Free MLB RunLine Picks:Â
You'll find MLB runline picks galore at WagerTalk. Â So what is the runline and why should you bet on it? Â 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. Â
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. Â Everybody loves that.Â
Free Hitter Props Markets MLB Predictions - Including Daily Home Run Prop Picks:
WagerTalk offers MLB player props for hitters throughout the year. Â 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. Â Find even more free MLB picks and player props at our sister site.Â
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. Â 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:Â
Now and then you can find MLB same game parlay picks from expert MLB handicappers at WagerTalk.Â

Which American League Teams Have Won The Most Regular Season Games?
The top winning team here is the Seattle Mariners of 2001. Â 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, Â 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.
Â
Which National League Teams Have Won The Most Regular Season Games?
The Chicago Cubs take it. Â 116 games in 1906. Nuts. Â They went 116-36. Â The LA Dodgers plop in behind them, going 111-51 in 2022. Â The 1909 Pirates pulled off 110 wins. Â 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.Â
Which Teams Have Won the Most World Series'?
Wait, the World Series has been happening since 1903? Â Indeed it has! Â And man have we seen a lot of winners and quite a few dynasties.Â
Naturally, the Yankees top the list of dynasties - they've captured 27 World Series titles. Â 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. Â Nothing else to say here, obviously it was Yogi. Â 10 World Series titles!
