Best MLB moneyline prop bets for August 30
5) Seattle Mariners: -192
The Seattle Mariners are just 5-5 in their last 10 and are overall a very mediocre team. However, they're significantly better than the Los Angeles Angels, the team they're facing today. They have a great pitching matchup with George Kirby throwing for them, so pick them to win.
4) New York Mets: -225
The New York Mets have the single most advantageous matchup in baseball: the Chicago White Sox. The White Sox are 1-9 in the last 10 and have lost seven in a row, while the Mets are 6-4 in their last 10. This one should be an easy pick, and the overwhelming odds suggest that it is.
3) Cleveland Guardians: -170
The Cleveland Guardians have another really good matchup. They're up against the Pittsburgh Pirates, a team nine games under .500 and on a three-game losing streak. The Guardians are 18 games over .500 and won last night, so it's a mismatch.
2) New York Yankees (Safest pick of the day): -192
The New York Yankees have not been playing all that well, going 3-3 against the Colorado Rockies and Washington Nationals. That should mean that they're due to bounce back and with the St. Louis Cardinals visiting town, they're today's safest pick to return to their winning ways.
1) Arizona Diamondbacks (Bold Prediction of the day): +110
The Arizona Diamondbacks are 7-3 in their last 10 games, so they've been on a hot streak. However, they have arguably the toughest matchup in baseball: the Los Angeles Dodgers. That's why they're the bold prediction, but they do have home-field advantage.
