MLB Expert Picks for Monday, May 13
Our VI baseball betting experts have compiled their MLB picks for Monday, May 13 and they're focusing on the matchups below:
- Philadelphia Phillies vs. New York Mets (7:10 p.m. ET)
- Los Angeles Dodgers vs. San Francisco Giants (9:45 p.m. ET)
Phillies vs Mets Free Picks
*3 Star Play on Phillies* The Philadelphia Phillies have the best record in baseball. They are 13-3 in their last 16 games. Philadelphia is second in the majors in weighted on base average. They have a better wOBA against lefties than they do against righties.
The Mets are 13th in the majors in wOBA against right handed pitching, but they are only 24th in the majors in wOBA against left handed pitching.
Christopher Sanchez was solid last year, and he has been great this season. Sanchez has a 3.22 ERA and a 2.88 FIP on the season.
Sean Manaea has been crushed in limited time against this Phillies lineup. Nick Castellanos has 5 hits in 8 at bats against him including two home runs. Whit Merrfield has hit him hard too. Manaea has a .469 batting average allowed in 36 plate appearances against the Phillies.
I'll lay the very short price with the road teams.
Take Philadelphia.
Dodgers vs Giants Free Picks
A bit of concern perhaps for the Dodgers, whose offense went on the blink a couple of times on the weekend at San Diego while losing a series to the padres, even getting blanked on Sunday.
Jordan Hicks (2.30 ERA< 1.12 WHIP) has been very serviceable for the Giants, usually keeping them close before turning the ball over to the bullpen in the 6th inning or so.
Meanwhile, Yoshinobu Yamamoto has been superb for the Dodgers since that opening effort in Australia vs. the Padres, but he's also been getting a lot of run support in recent games (eight runs in each of the last two).
Play Giants on Run Line
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.
