Today's MLB Picks & Predictions — Free Picks for Tonight's Games

MLB picks are our model's call on which side to back in an MLB game. The model reads past results and the current bookmaker prices, then names the side it rates best and says why in plain words.

This page is the full list, and best bets is the short list. Picks cover every MLB game on the card across every market, while best bets keeps only the ones the model rates strongest that day.

We post MLB picks on who wins, the run line, total runs, and player markets like strikeouts and hits. Game and player markets sit together inside each match, with the strongest pick at the top.

They refresh through the day, and again whenever team news or the bookmaker prices move. Later prices carry more information, so the list you see close to start time is the one to trust.

A pick is named when our model rates a side better than the bookmaker's price says. The wider that gap, the higher the confidence we show, and confidence is a lean over a long run of bets, never a promise on one game.

Yes, any pick on this page can be a leg in a multi. Each extra leg makes the whole bet harder to land, so two or three strong legs beat a long list. For structured multi recommendations with a combined chance shown, use the MLB Multis page.

No, and nobody can. MLB picks are our best read of what is likely, and good picks still lose, so only ever stake money you can afford to lose. If gambling is affecting your health or finances, contact the National Gambling Helpline on 1800 858 858 or visit gamblinghelponline.org.au.

As soon as the day's games and prices are up. The list is rebuilt several times a day, and again close to start time when team news and prices move, so the version you see nearest kick-off is the one to read. There are games almost every day in season, so the page changes daily.

No. We only name a side when our model likes it more than the price suggests. Some games get nothing at all, and that is on purpose - a quiet day here means there was nothing worth backing, not that something is broken.

We say it in words, not numbers. HIGH means our model likes the pick the most. LEAN means it likes it, but less. LONG-SHOT means a big price that wins less often and pays more when it lands. Confidence is how it should go over a long run of bets, never a promise on one game.

The first pick in every game is free to read, with no signup. The rest unlock with a subscription. Either way every pick we publish is graded in public, wins and losses, on our results page.
