MLB Expert Picks for Monday, April 29
Our VI baseball betting experts have compiled their MLB picks for Monday, April 29 and they're focusing on the matchups below:
- New York Yankees at Baltimore Orioles (6:35 p.m. ET)
- Pittsburgh Pirates at Oakland Athletics (9:40 p.m. ET)
Yankees vs Orioles Free Picks
The Yankees got their bats going, scoring 30 runs on 37 hits in posting Saturday and Sunday victories against the Brewers.
I don't see the Yankees repeating that success against Grayson Rodriguez, one of the most promising pitchers in the American League. Rodriguez had his first bad outing of the season in his last start. However, he had a 2.63 ERA with 27 strikeouts in 24 innings during his first four starts this year.
The Orioles aren't likely to have closer Craig Kimbrel, who left yesterday's game with a back injury. Kimbrel, though, had blown two straight save opportunities.
I rate Rodriguez at least a tier above Yankees starter Clarke Schmidt, who has a 4.33 career ERA vs New York in four starts.
Pirates vs Athletics Free Picks
The A's didn't need a plane to return to OAK after winning the weekend series in Baltimore, twice rallying from behind in the ninth inning before posting wins.
Sunday's 7-6 success was uncommonly high scoring, however, as Oakland had gone "under" 12-6 in its previous 18 games.
Joe Boyle has had some trouble in recent starts, but Mark Kotsay has been able to go longer with his bullpen if needed, and the Pirates offense continues to sputter.
We also do not expect the A's to do much business vs. Bucs starter Bailey Falter (1.56 ERA in his last four starts), as Pittsburgh continues its road trip to the Bay Area after playing three across the bridge vs. the Giants on the weekend.
Free MLB Money Line Picks
Looking for a straight up winner? The Vegas Insider MLB Money Line Picks focuses on just picking the winner. It's as simple as that and knowing that there's no clock in baseball, your wagers are never losers until the final out is punched. Our Free MLB Money Line Picks are known for their value, especially when our stable of experts lay into some live underdogs.
Free MLB Run-Line Picks
Run-Line Picks is MLB can be viewed as ATS or Against the Spread Picks since a spread or in this case, a run-line is involved. Oddsmakers always open run-line spreads as -1.5 or +1.5 and then there is money associated with each run-line spread. Instead of backing a heavy money-line favorite, bettors have the option to back that team to win by two or more runs at a lower price. When taking the underdog at the +1.5 price, your wager can still lose the game outright but if it stays within the spread (1.5) then you'll be okay. Our MLB Run Line Free Picks will feature a selection either on the favorite or the underdog and will include betting analysis on how to lay or take the points.
Free MLB Over Under Totals Picks
If you’re undecided on MLB ML or MLB Run Line Free Picks, you must be a Totals bettor and our Free MLB Over Under Totals Picks allow you to cheer for either a slugfest at the ballpark or a great pitching battle. Everybody loves the longball and cheering for an Over is much more fun but that doesn’t prevent our experts from playing the Under in our Free MLB Picks page and look for strikeouts. All selections featured in the MLB Over Under Totals Picks include betting analysis and tips on how to find the best markets.
