MLB Picks Thursday, June 15

Angels vs Rangers Picks

8:05 p.m. ET | Fox Sports 1

Shohei Ohtani gets the start on the rubber for the Angels tonight.

The MLB betting system with today’s pick usually spits out a prediction on Angels games whenever the two-way phenom gets the start.

Combining Ohtani’s propensity to strike out hitters (12.1 K/9) and Rangers starter Nathan Eovaldi’s stat line this season, it set off Action Network’s High-Strikeout Pitchers PRO system – and it’s a bet on the Angels vs. Rangers under 8.5.

The betting model looks for:

    • The under
    • Between two high-strikeout starting pitchers
    • When the closing total is 8 or more

There are 8.5’s out there and 8’s at plus-money, so check out our MLB odds page for the best prices.

Nationals vs Astros Picks

8:10 p.m. ET | SportsNet SW

Washington’s MacKenzie Gore and Houston’s Cristian Javier square off tonight. The two pitchers also fit the MLB model’s bill Thursday, with a play on Nats-Astros under 8.

We’ve also tracked big money betting Thursday’s under – 73% of the coin on 63% of the betting tickets.
