Best MLB moneyline bets for August 19
Kansas City Royals: -205
The current moneyline odds greatly favor the Kansas City Royals on Monday as they square off against one of the league's worst teams, the Los Angeles Angels. The Angels have posted a 3-7 record over their last 10 games and with Seth Lugo taking the mound for the Royals, that losing trend will likely continue.
San Diego Padres: -162
The San Diego Padres will welcome the Minnesota Twins to Petco Park on Monday for a battle of two playoff hopeful teams. While this should be a tightly contested matchup, the DraftKings moneyline odds favor the home squad to walk away with the victory. It could be a battle to the final out, but it could benefit bettors who lean toward the Friars.
Baltimore Orioles (Bold Prediction of the day): +110
For today's bold preditcion, we are taking the Baltimore Orioles moneyline to pull off the victory against the New York Mets. The Orioles are considered underdogs as they make their way to Queens, New York, however, given their potent offense with Gunnar Henderson and Anthony Santander, they could jump all over Mets projected starter David Peterson.
Los Angeles Dodgers: +148
Another intriguing underdog worth considering on Monday night are the Los Angeles Dodgers against the Seattle Mariners. Injuries have been the story of the Dodgers season and it is something that has continued as there are question marks around All-Star first baseman Freddie Freeman's finger.
That said, Los Angeles will still has two of the best players in the MLB going up against Mariners starter Bryan Woo in the form of Shohei Ohtani and Mookie Betts. Do you really want to bet against a guy like Shohei Ohtani?
San Francisco Giants (Safest pick of the day): -238
Arguably the safest bet of the night is the San Francisco Giants. The Giants will be taking on the Chicago White Sox, who have already set the MLB record for the earliest elimination from playoff contention. The White Sox own a 30-95 record, so betting against them has almost been free money all season long.
