I have a myriad of sharp, profitable MLB betting picks from OddsJam. They’re all player prop bets, and they’re all mathematically profitable. In this betting preview, I’ll be going through my sports betting analysis of the MLB slate on Sunday, August 7. So let’s get into it!
Astros vs. Guardians Odds, Picks, Prop Bets
12:05PM ET
The first pick I have is Triston McKenzie (7-8, 3.38 ERA) under 4.5 strikeouts. This was a Positive EV play from OddsJam, and I love the value in it.
Yankees vs. Cardinals Odds, Player Prop Bets
2:15PM ET
The first bet I locked in is for the New York Yankees vs. St. Louis Cardinals game today at 2:15pm ET. This game is taking place at Busch Stadium in St. Louis, MO. I found a very profitable bet on the OddsJam Positive EV Betting Tool, so I thought I’d share it with you! I’m on Adam Wainwright (8-8, 3.11 ERA) under 4.5 strikeouts at -122 odds on FanDuel sportsbook.
Wainwright recorded 4 strikeouts in his last outing against the Chicago Cubs. I think that Wainwright will struggle against a talent NY Yankees offense and have a short outing. My prediction is that he’ll pitch 4 innings and give up roughly 4 earned runs.
The value in this Positive EV bet is clear. We’re getting -122 odds on FanDuel for Wainwright under 4.5 strikeouts, and DraftKings sportsbook & Caesars sportsbook both have this -150 and -164 odds, respectively. Ridiculous value on FanDuel. Lock in this awesome prop bet for Sunday!
I have another player prop bet on this game as well. I’m also fading Frankie Montas. I took Montas under 4.5 strikeouts at -140 odds on FanDuel for $70. I think these two prop bets for Yankees vs. Cardinals are very profitable.
Pirates vs. Orioles Player Prop Picks, Sharp Bets
1:35PM ET
The Pirates strikeout a lot. The Pirates Strikeout 9.25 times per game on average, which is the third most in the league. I think being able to get this play on Spenser Watkins o3.5 Ks at +100 odds is incredible value.
Nationals vs. Phillies Player Prop Bets, Predictions
1:35PM ET
The next MLB prop bet I have for Sunday is in the Nationals vs. Phillies game. I’m on Aaron Nola under 6.5 strikeouts at -104 odds. This bet is also on FanDuel sportsbook. As seen, FanDuel gave me a max bet size of $52. I guess I’m beating them pretty bad…
The Nationals have a weak offense, but I think they’ll be able to put the ball in play against Aaron Nola. My prediction is that Aaron Nola will have 3-4 strikeouts in this MLB game on Sunday, August 7. I locked it in!
Rays vs. Tigers Betting Odds, Player Prop Picks
1:40PM ET
My fourth and final strikeout prop bet for today is in the Tampa Bay Rays vs Detroit Tigers game at 1:40pm ET. I’m on Drew Rasmussen over 4.5 strikeouts at +118 odds on FanDuel. This is another Positive EV bet with a profit margin of 4.82%.
As seen below on OddsJam, no other sportsbook is giving better than -105 odds – what value!
I locked this MLB prop bet in for the maximum that I could, which was roughly $40.
Angels vs. Mariners Betting Odds, Player Prop Picks
4:10PM ET
I also locked in Marco Gonzales under 3.5 strikeouts at +108 odds on FanDuel. As usual, it’s another Positive EV baseball play for me.
