Gambling911.com has some free MLB betting picks for Monday August 23, 2021 with all lines courtesy of BetOnline here. They offer a true dime line up to -190 for the best payouts in online baseball wagering.
Hot Teams
AL East
Tampa Bay Rays - The Rays are winning around 70% of their games of late and own a 76-48 record and they will need to keep playing hard to ensure a resurgent New York is kept at bay.
New York Yankees - They were winning around 90% of their most recent 10 games now and were now at 62-52 and just four games down from the lead. Great value now to win the World Series after opening as the favorite with a payout of $950 on every $100 bet.
----
AL Central
Chicago White Sox - 72-52 was their record. But the White Sox were playing just .500 baseball at the moment, perhaps because they are in such a comfortable lead in the AL Central. They were 11.5 up from the Cleveland Indians.
----
AL West
Oakland Atheltics - They were playing lukewarm in the past week but do own a 69-53 record. The A's were 2.5 games under a now struggling Astros squad.
----
NL East
Atlanta Braves - Heading into Monday, they were now up four games over the Phillies and playing at an 90% win rate. They owned a 65-56 record.
----
NL Central
Milwaukee Brewers - They own a 74-47 record and are playing at close to a 80% win rate at the moment. What's not to like?
----
NL West
San Francisco Giants - They are playing at an 80% win rate and are 3 games above the Dodgers. They are 78-43.
LA Dodgers - The Dodgers are back! They are playing at a 90% win rate. They own a 75-46 record.
Top Trends (Coming Into Monday)
- White Sox are 9-4 in the last 13 meetings in Toronto.
- There have only been two OVERs in the last ten meetings of the White Sox vs. Blue Jays series.
Game Watch
1. White Sox @ Blue Jays
Lance Lynn (10-3, 2.26) has been dominant for the White Sox but hasn't had a win in several starts. Lynn posted four strikeouts over three scoreless frames and was handed a no-decision against the Mariners on Sunday afternoon.
Alek Manoah (5-2, 3.34) is coming off of the bereavement list. He surrendered seven runs -- six earned -- in three innings Tuesday in a loss to the Nationals his last start on August 17. But in prior games the opponent scored no more than 2 runs in three of four and no more than four in another game.
Six of the last ten games the Blue Jays have scored no more than 3 runs. Lynn has allowed two home runs out of ten hits by Randal Grichuk, but other than that he's been pretty solid against Toronto.
Recap
Another strong day yesterday with the UNDER in the Giants-Athletics game.
