Looking for the top MLB Best Bets and Props for today? Fantasy Alarm has done all the research for you! The Friday MLB slate is packed with some exciting matchups and fantastic opportunities for betting baseball and building your bankroll. 

 

 

 

The most exciting might be the Los Angeles Dodgers taking on the New York Yankees in what could be a preview of the 2024 World Series. Yoshinobu Yamamoto takes the mound for the Dodgers and catches a potential break with the recent Juan Soto injury. However, Aaron Judge still looms large and can change the course of the game with one swing of the bat. 

We’ll study the Vegas odds and lines to see if we want to invest in this game, but we have plenty more to break down for you.

MLB Picks, Predictions & Best Bets Today, 6/7

While we finished yesterday’s MLB predictions with a winning record, the return on our investment wasn’t what we were looking for, obviously. The San Diego Padres and Arizona Diamondbacks let us down in a major way as that 4-3 finish was just gross. Fernando Tatis almost bailed us out in the end, but came up just short – the warning track, to be specific.

We’ll take care of business on our own today and send ourselves off to the weekend on a positive note!

  • Yesterday’s Record: 5-4
  • Season Record: 198-179-5

Astros vs. Angels Prediction: Friday, June 7 

Quite the matchup here in Los Angeles as the Angels are notorious for punishing lefthanded pitching. The last time Framber Valdez faced them, he was torched for eight earned runs. I’m not saying that’s going to happen to him again, but our MLB best bets will look to the Angels to score some runs over the course of this game, and we’ll happily re-invest in our favorite lefty-killer Luis Rengifo.

On the other side, Griffin Canning takes the mound, and we know how the Astros dominate against righthanded pitching. Kyle Tucker may not be back in time for this game, but between Yordan Alvarez and the surprising Jake Meyers, I don’t see how the Astros don’t get to Canning in some fashion or another. I was teetering on the full-game total, but the 8.5 runs seems like a tough line at the current odds.

 

 

 

Red Sox vs. White Sox Prediction: Friday, June 7

We attacked this game in yesterday’s MLB picks and came out on top quite easily. The tide has turned, however, with Garrett Crochet on the mound for Chicago. While the Red Sox have a .317 wOBA against southpaws this season, they also have a 28.4-percent strikeout rate against them. 

With Rafael Devers and Jaren Duran leading the charge, it’s a very lefty-heavy lineup and Crochet is rocking a massive 43.9-percent strikeout rate against lefties. We’re going to grab the White Sox on the money line for the first five innings as Crochet should dominate and these Chicago bats have woken up a little more lately. 

Cooper Criswell has had some ups and downs already and hasn’t pitched past the fifth inning yet. A money line bet for the first five gives us the out should it be a tie game, so we’ll take that instead of the run line bet.

 

 

 

Twins vs. Pirates Prediction: Friday, June 7 

Mitch Keller has been fantastic over his last five starts and has seemingly shaken off the early-season issues. He hasn’t allowed more than two runs in an outing during that stretch and has gone at least six innings in each start, including a complete game against the Angels. The 27:5 K:BB obviously helps a ton as well. With Joe Ryan on the mound for the Twins, I expect the score to stay down overall. 

The Pirates are coming off a wild series against the Dodgers and while they plated some serious runs, they have also been extremely aggressive at the plate. The 25.7-percent strikeout rate shows them as a free-swinging lineup and Ryan likes to pound the strike zone. I wish he got more ground balls, but the ballpark in Pittsburgh is very pitcher friendly. Seems like a safe way to round out my MLB predictions today.
