Seattle Mariners -1.5 (146) Action

Later this summer, we might look back at the past week as the time that the AL West race changed for good this season. Finally, the Mariners have caught an updraft, the win streak now at five after Bryan Woo spun seven shutout innings at the D-backs last night. Bryce Miller, who got the streak going last Monday vs. the A’s, enters today with a 2.25 ERA after returning to active duty on May 13.

Granted, Meriill Kelly has been Arizona’s best pitcher the past two weeks, but let’s not forget the 9.20 ERA that he posted in April, and note the D-backs are only 13-16 away into Sunday. Play Mariners on Run Line

New York Yankees -154 Action

ACTION

GOOD TO 165 NO PLAY AT 170

We list action here but all the markets have Lopez going for the Athletics at the time of this writing. Just in case they start someone else for an inning we do know Lopez is the intended pitcher and we want to go against him. We had Oakland on the RL yesterday and they did win OR as we did say in our analysis. We did that because we know the Athletics BP cannot be trusted. They showed everyone that last night. We really like the Yankees to bounce back in a big way here especially knowing that Lopez a LH pitcher will be on the hill at some point. The Yankees are the best team in MLB in Hitting LH pitching. We do know Warren can be any type and thus we make just a small play in this one, especially with the high juice.

Event:
(915) Boston Red Sox at (916) Cleveland Guardians
Date/Time:
Play:
1st 5 Innings Under +4.5 (-135) Ranger Suarez (LHP), Tanner Bibee (RHP) Must Start

This is the alt 4.5. If you can only get 4 that is ok as well.

BOS @ CLE — May 31, 2026

Projected 1st 5 score: BOS 2.3, CLE 1.5

Market used: BOS -116, CLE +100, full-game total 7.5, Over -105 / Under -115. Game: 1:40 p.m. ET, Progressive Field. Listed starters: Ranger Suarez vs. Tanner Bibee. Suarez enters at 2-3, 3.02 ERA, 47 K; Bibee enters at 0-7, 4.57 ERA, 55 K.

Boston has the starting-pitcher edge, while Cleveland has the better season bullpen and home-field setup. The game total remains low because both offenses are below average by run production: Boston is around 3.9 runs per game, Cleveland around 4.1 runs per game. Cleveland has more power, 56 HR to Boston’s 43, but Boston has the higher team batting average and a better starter matchup.

Suarez gets a meaningful matchup upgrade. Inside the active window, Suarez faced Cleveland on May 10, 2025 and threw 7.0 IP, 3 H, 0 ER, 5 K, 1 BB. Bibee’s prior strong Red Sox results came before the allowed window, so no full BvP upgrade is applied for Bibee.

Recent form tilts Boston late. Boston won 9-1 Saturday and scored eight runs after Cleveland’s starter exited, including six in the ninth. Cleveland won Friday 4-3, but Boston’s bulk pitching allowed only four Cleveland hits after the first inning in that game.

Bullpen math is mixed. Cleveland’s season bullpen profile is much better: 2.79 ERA / 1.15 WHIP compared with Boston’s 4.00 ERA / 1.24 WHIP. But Cleveland’s bullpen was just hit hard Saturday, while Boston’s key downgrade is Garrett Whitlock landing on the injured list.

Projected lineups are weighted from current listed projected batting orders. Boston: Duran, Rafaela, Abreu, Contreras, Yoshida, Monasterio, Mayer, Narváez, Durbin. Cleveland: Angel Martínez, José Ramírez, Chase DeLauter, Rhys Hoskins, David Fry, Travis Bazzana, Daniel Schneemann, Austin Hedges, Brayan Rocchio.

Weather is mild: around 68°F near game conditions with light wind. Progressive Field is treated as close to neutral overall, with no major weather boost.

Event:
(921) Kansas City Royals at (922) Texas Rangers: Total
Date/Time:
Play:
Total Under 7.5 (100) Michael Wacha (RHP), Jack Leiter (RHP) Must Start

While this has been a high-scoring series, we should see some better pitching on Sunday afternoon. Wacha continues to pitch well. Last time out, he held the Yankees to two earned runs through seven complete innings. In his previous start, he limited the Red Sox to one earned run through six complete innings. On the season, through 11 starts, he has a 2.69 ERA and 1.05 WHIP. He's allowed just seven total runs in his past five starts, pitching six innings in two of those and seven in the other three. In those five May starts, he's 2-0 with a stellar 2.18 ERA and 0.91 WHIP. Opposing batters are hitting just .186 in those games. Three of those five games stayed below the total bringing the under to 8-3 when he's on the mound, this season. While Leiter's stats aren't as good as Wacha's, he is also very capable and has recently been involved in some low-scoring games. Five of his past six starts have stayed below the total. More of the same Sunday. *good at 7.5 or better

What Free MLB Picks Does WagerTalk Offer In 2026?

WagerTalk offers every type of MLB expert picks you could possibly want.  At WagerTalk you'll find daily free MLB picks that include: 

Moneyline MLB Picks Free:  

Naturally.  You have to offer moneyline picks and WagerTalk certainly does for MLB. 

Free MLB RunLine Picks: 

You'll find MLB runline picks galore at WagerTalk.  So what is the runline and why should you bet on it?  Well, simple!

The runline is baseball's version of the point spread. When betting on the runline, the favorite is -1.5 runs on the spread, with the underdog at +1.5 runs. Betting on the favorite requires your team to win its game by two or more runs. Truly, the runline is the great equalizer - it's just a little easier to place a bet when you've got a 2 run head start, right?

WagerTalk's expert MLB handicappers are runline prediction masterminds.  

Totals Betting Best Picks for MLB:

Total runs betting picks are an absolute staple of WagerTalk MLB handicappers. A major component of how to bet on baseball, a total runs wager is super straightforward, as the customer is picking whether the two teams will score over or under the listed number of runs combined during the game. The great part of a total runs pick is that you're basically just rooting for a ton of scoring.  Everybody loves that. 

Free Hitter Props Markets MLB Predictions - Including Daily Home Run Prop Picks:

WagerTalk offers MLB player props for hitters throughout the year.  A great betting market, you're simply betting on how a specific batter will perform during a game - the perfect market to bet if you're more of a player of an MLB hitter than an MLB team.  Find even more free MLB picks and player props at our sister site. 

Our daily HR home prop article is the most popular such article online!

Pitching Props Free MLB Picks of the Day:

You'll find MLB pitching prop picks from WagerTalk all during the long long MLB season.   Like hitting props, bettors can get some terrific ML picks free from WagerTalk - pitcher prop picks that help them select how their ace pitcher will perform on the mound. Each starting pitcher usually receives a list of pitching props, such as: 'Total Pitching Strikeouts', 'Total Hits Allowed', 'Total Outs Recorded', 'Total Earned Runs Allowed', and more.

Same Game Parlay MLB Best Bets:

Which American League Teams Have Won The Most Regular Season Games?

The top winning team here is the Seattle Mariners of 2001.  They grabbed 116 wins, but then simply choked and lost the ALCS. After the Mariners the Yankees in 1998 won a ton of games - 114, in fact, and won the World Series to boot.

After those two MLB behemoths, the Cleveland Indians won 111 times in the regular season in 1954,  the Yankees captured 110 wins way back in 1927 and then we have the Baltimore Orioles winning 109 wins in 1969 - but failed to win the World Series.

 

Which National League Teams Have Won The Most Regular Season Games?

The Chicago Cubs take it.  116 games in 1906. Nuts.  They went 116-36.  The LA Dodgers plop in behind them, going 111-51 in 2022.  The 1909 Pirates pulled off 110 wins.  The Mets (really! The Mets!) won a whopping 108 games in 1986 and the Cincy Red of 1975 tied them at 108 games won as well. 

Which Teams Have Won the Most World Series'?

Wait, the World Series has been happening since 1903?  Indeed it has!  And man have we seen a lot of winners and quite a few dynasties. 

Naturally, the Yankees top the list of dynasties - they've captured 27 World Series titles.  Following WAY behind the Yankees are the St Louis Cardinals with 11 titles, the Boston Red Sox and Oakland Athletics with 9 apiece, and the San Francisco Giants with 8 World Series titles.

Which Player Has Won the Most World Series Titles?

Yogi Berra.  Nothing else to say here, obviously it was Yogi.  10 World Series titles!
