It’s time to lock in today’s best bets of the day with Joe Pisapia and Chris Welsh, powered by Hard Rock Bet. Let’s dive into the top picks we’re targeting on today’s MLB slate.
Joe Pisapia’s Hard Rock Bet of the Day: Phillies -1.5 Run Line (+114)
I’m taking the Phillies on the run line today. Cristopher Sánchez is on the mound for the Phillies. He’s going against Luis Severino.
Bryce Harper is starting to heat up a little bit, and you’re getting plus money on the run line. How about that? It’s -1.5.
I was hot yesterday. Yankees run line—that was easy. They scored 12 runs yesterday. That was a piece of cake. I should have pushed that one all the way up to like, I don’t know, a run line of -6.5. I would have just crushed. But I wasn’t going to get greedy.
Not going to get greedy today. I’ll just take the plus money and walk away.
So give me the Phillies on the run line, -1.5 at +114 odds.
Chris Welsh’s Hard Rock Bet of the Day: PIT vs. ARI Over 9 Runs (+110)
Best bet, we are going to go take a look at my Arizona Diamondbacks, who are facing off against the Pittsburgh Pirates. They are starting a series.
Bubba Chandler is coming into town. I have mentioned I do not think the Diamondbacks are a great matchup for a guy like Bubba Chandler.
Bubba does throw some heat, but he walks a lot of guys. If you start putting Corbin Carroll, Ketel Marte, and Geraldo Perdomo on base, bad things are going to happen.
But also, Eduardo Rodríguez has been pretty good. I think there’s some unraveling that is going to start to happen. Pittsburgh’s offense has been pretty good.
I just really like some runs to be scored in this game, maybe even through the series as well. You got Paul Skenes on Wednesday and Mitch Keller on Thursday.
But I’m going to go with the Over nine runs scored between the D-backs and the Pirates on the full game.
That is my Hard Rock best bet of the day.
