After a brilliant start to the month of August with my MLB picks (4-1, $406.81 profit based on a $100 bet/game), I’ll try to prove it wasn’t a fluke with my best MLB picks for August 4th. Let’s go!

MLB Picks for August 4th
Atlanta Braves @ Chicago Cubs
Start Time – 2:20 pm EST
Wrigley Field
Broadcast – MLB TV
Bets: Atlanta -175
The Atlanta Braves were kind to me on Wednesday, so I’m riding with them again on Friday. Max Fried should be able to get the job done for them against the lowly Cubs. No Total has been posted for this game yet, but take the Over – both teams have been on scoring barrages of late.
Houston Astros @ New York Yankees
Start Time – 7:05 pm EST
Yankee Stadium
Broadcast – APLTV
Bets: Houston -122, Over 9 (-115)
The two arch-rivals hook up once again. Houston has restocked for the home stretch and are rolling. New York is not. Yankee starter Luis Severino gave up nine runs in 3.1 innings his last time out. Let’s bet the Over.
New York Mets @ Baltimore Orioles
Start Time – 7:05 pm EST
Oriole Park at Camden Yards
Broadcast – MASN
Bet: Baltimore -166, Over 9 (-115)
Let’s fade the other Gotham team as well. The Baltimore Orioles and the New York Mets are two ships passing in the night. Both headed in different directions. Neither of Friday’s starters are top shelf (Dean Kremer is ok, I guess), so let’s go Over once again.
Toronto Blue Jays @ Boston Red Sox
Start Time – 7:10 pm EST
Fenway Park
Broadcast – MLBN
Bet: Toronto +130
Toronto’s supposed ace heading into the season, Alek Manoah, is starting to get his groove back since being called back up from the minors, with three of his four starts being solid and whiffing 12 batters over his last 9.2 innings. Let’s roll the dice on the dog.
