Saturday’s sports schedule is a good one.
Two NCAA Tournament Elite Eight games anchor the slate, but an all-day, 15-game MLB lineup is ripe for the picking as well.
While baseball will certainly get overshadowed by college basketball, there are two MLB predictions already separating themselves from the rest of today’s games: Milwaukee Brewers vs. New York Mets and Boston Red Sox vs. Seattle Mariners.
Below we take the Action Network’s PRO Projections for a spin, including Saturday’s smartest MLB predictions.
MLB Predictions for Saturday
*MLB odds as of Saturday morning
Brewers vs. Mets Prediction
1:40 p.m. ET | MLB Network
Friday’s Brewers vs. Mets game easily fell under the closing total of 7.5 runs, so should bettors go back to the well on Saturday?
Or is now the time to pivot and play the over?
According to our MLB betting model, another low-scoring game could be on tap.
Saturday’s Brewers vs. Mets total sits at 8 as of the time writing, well above our projection of 7.28.
The difference between these two results in a very nice 3.2% edge for under bettors.
PRO Projections Pick: Under 8 (-110 via DraftKings)
Red Sox vs. Mariners Prediction
9:40 p.m. ET | ROOT Sports NW
While just ahead of Brewers vs. Mets, Red Sox vs. Mariners is currently offering the biggest betting model edge of Saturday’s entire MLB slate.
Our PRO Projections set this line at 7.9, suggesting there’s plenty of value — a 3.3% edge, to be exact — in taking a position on 0ver 7.5 for Saturday night’s matchup.
For the record, this edge is based on the consensus line, which is over 7.5 at a vig of +100, though bettors can increase this edge even further by shopping around and picking off over 7.5 (+104) at FanDuel.
