MLB Predictions Today and Best Bets

After yesterday’s MLB predictions went 1-2 with a pair of near-misses in the Athletics vs. Phillies and White Sox vs. Tigers games, we move on to a day with any and all options as all 30 teams are in action today. Fortunately, yesterday wasn’t a total loss as we won our MLB Parlay of the Day with moneyline wins by the Phillies, Mets and Braves.

Let’s ride that wave with my predictions and best bets for April 9.

MLB Best Bet April 9: Toronto Blue Jays -1.5 (-105) vs. Texas Rangers, 3:07 p.m. EST, available at BetMGM

After a come-from-behind win by the Blue Jays on Friday, I’m riding with Toronto again today.

My expectation is that the Jays won’t fall into the same hole they did yesterday, coming back from down seven runs, and they face a pitcher in Rangers starter Dane Dunning who doesn’t go deep into games. The Blue Jays made their comeback yesterday against the Rangers’ bullpen and Dunning only made it to the fifth inning in 11 of 27 starts last season. This means the Jays should see at least three or probably four innings of the Texas bullpen in this one.

If newly-acquired Kevin Gausman can pick up where he left off in San Francisco (2.81 ERA last season with the Giants), Toronto should get off to a strong start and win this game by at least two runs.

MLB Best Bet April 9: Kansas City Royals (-120) vs. Cleveland Guardians, 4:10 p.m. EST, available at BetMGM

Royals starter Brad Keller started to figure things out down the stretch last season, as he held eight of his final nine opponents to three earned runs or less in 2021. He also pitched deep into games during that run, pitching into the sixth inning in six of those nine starts. If he can keep this up today, it should limit the chances the Guardians will have against a weak KC bullpen.

The Guardians didn’t show much at the plate, losing 3-1 on MLB Opening Day, and the reality is that the Guardians have ranked in the bottom third for hitters in each of the past two seasons. I’m, giving Kansas City the edge here and like the Royals and Keller to pull out the win on Saturday.

MLB Best Bet April 9: Nick Pivetta Over 5.5 Strikeouts (+115) vs. New York Yankees, 4:05 p.m. EST, available at BetMGM

Boston Red Sox starter Nick Pivetta averages better than one strikeout per inning in his career, and the Yankees’ lineup is full of players who either hit the ball a mile or swing and miss. New York fanned 15 times against Boston pitchers on Friday, and that’s going to be a typical occurrence with the likes of Giancarlo Stanton and Joey Gallo coming to the plate for the Bronx Bombers.

As long as Pivetta can pitch at least five innings, he should get to this number. Plus, the last time he faced the Yankees, he lasted 5.1 innings and fanned seven, so getting plus money for this play makes it one of my best bets for April 9.
