MLB Predictions Today: Best MLB Bets Today & MLB Player Props 08/28

⭐ Tigers ML (-110) at BetMGM

Heading into this Yankees vs. Tigers prediction, we have two volatile pitchers on the mound—Luis Severino for New York and Reese Olson for Detroit. 

Over their last five starts, Severino has allowed 21 earned runs to Olson’s 18. However, Severino’s previous start was successful, pitching six ⅔ innings, allowing just one hit. 

Both teams struggle to score runs, but the Yankees are slightly better at 4.22 to Detroit’s second-worst 3.98. 

The Yankees will play this game without Anthony Rizzo and have lost 10 of their last 12, and we like the Tigers ML (-110) at BetMGM.

Severino is too volatile for us here, so we’ll take the Tigers moneyline for our best MLB bets today.

⭐ Kerry Carpenter 2+ Total Bases (+105) at FanDuel

OK, we’ll attack some MLB player props for more Yankees vs. Tigers predictions. 

As mentioned, the pitching matchup here has a chance for some real fireworks, and we will depend on Severino lighting the match for this one. 

One of the bright spots on the Tigers has been designated hitter Kerry Carpenter. He’s batting .290 with 20 home runs and 54 RBIs, and we like  Carpenter 2+ Total Bases (+105) at FanDuel.

A lefty, Carpenter will face a lot of Severino, a righty, who’s allowed a batting average of .336 to lefties, including ten home runs, 14 doubles, and 17 walks.

For our best MLB bets today, take the “+” line value on Carpenter, getting 2+ total bases here. 

Best MLB Pick: Kerry Carpenter 2+ Total Bases (+105) at FanDuel

⭐ Manny Machado Over 0.5 RBIs (-107) at Caesars

It hasn’t been the best season of his career, but here, for our Padres vs. Cardinals prediction, we’ll examine some MLB player props for infielder Manny Machado. 

Batting .250 on the year, Machado has 25 home runs and 77 RBIs. In this one, he’ll face off against nearly 42-year-old Adam Wainwright, who’s been atrocious this season at 3-9 with an 8.61 ERA across 17 starts.

Yes, an 8.61 ERA, so we will take Machado Over 0.5 RBIs (-107) at Caesars.

Over his last five starts, Wainwright has allowed 28 runs and has allowed a .358 batting average to right-handed hitters. He doesn’t typically last many innings, reaching six in two of his last five starts, but this should still give Machado plenty of time to drive in a single run. 

For our best MLB bets today, take the over on 0.5 RBIs from Machado.

⭐ Kevin Gausman Over 6.5 Strikeouts (-115) at DraftKings

Finishing off our MLB best bets, we’ll look at a Nationals vs. Blue Jays prediction. 

Here, we’ll dive into more MLB player props, focusing on American League Cy Young candidate and Blue Jays starting pitcher Kevin Gausman. 

Gausman is 9-8 on the year with a 3.23 ERA and 195 strikeouts over 150.1 innings pitched, and we're going to take Gausman Over 6.5 Strikeouts (-115) at DraftKings.

The Nationals only strike out 7.13 times per game, but that number has increased to 8.33 over their last three games and 7.67 on the road throughout the year.

However, going up against Gausman, this is a different animal.

The Blue Jays lost their last game. Gausman started 7-0 against the Baltimore Orioles, but it wasn’t his fault, as he allowed two runs across six innings and had eight strikeouts. 

His over/under line here is 6.5, and against a Nationals team that isn’t exactly imposing, I’d expect Gausman to hit this easily. 

Best MLB Pick: Kevin Gausman Over 6.5 Strikeouts (-115) at DraftKings
