Best MLB moneyline prop bets for August 27
5) Chicago Cubs: -135
The Chicago Cubs have the best possible matchup today against the Chicago White Sox. Even though they're up against Garrett Crochet, the Sox are just that terrible. The Cubs are only .500, but they are 7-3 in their last 10 games and have a good chance to continue their winning streak today.
4) Detroit Tigers: -155
The Detroit Tigers are hovering around .500 for the season, but they are hot right now. They've won seven of 10 and four in a row. They get an advantageous matchup in the form of Los Angeles Angels, who have lost five in a row and are 2-8 in their last 10. Pick the Tigers already.
3) San Diego Padres: -135
The San Diego Padres have won six of their last 10 and two in a row, so they are heating back up. They would have Dylan Cease on the mound against the St. Louis Cardinals, which means there's a good chance they continue their winning momentum and pick a win.
2) New York Yankees (Safest pick of the day): -162
The New York Yankees hardly put together a complete performance on Monday but managed to win anyway. Their offense should be better today against Patrick Corbin, and the Washington Nationals just don't have the firepower to keep up against Gerrit Cole. They are today's safest pick and there are good reasons for that. Pick them for win.
1) New York Mets (Bold Prediction of the day): -102
Today's bold prediction is for the other New York team: the Mets. They lost last night and are 6-4 in their past 10 games, but they are performing exceptionally well in the second half. However, they do have a tough matchup with the Arizona Diamondbacks on deck, so that's why they're the bold pick.
