MLB Picks and Predictions for 9/13/2021: Free MLB Picks

Play: Twins ML +170

Miami Marlins at Washington Nationals 

Sandy Alcantara Looks like the real deal for the Miami Marlins and he is going to lock down in this game. In two of Alcantara’s last three starts he has given up only one run. Even though the Marlins offense isn’t elite, they are going to find enough success to get the job done. Back the Marlins. 

Play: Marlins ML 

St. Louis Cardinals +108 at New York Mets -117 Total: 8.5 

The Cardinals have only won four of their last ten games but they have the advantage in this game. Adam Wainwright is coming off a bad start, but he has been the Cardinals best pitcher this season. The Mets offense overall this season has had issues, and the Cardinals will pull the upset. 

Play: Cardinals ML +108

Tampa Bay Rays at Toronto Blue Jays 

In each of the last two starts, Alek Manoah hasn’t been as strong, and the Rays can take advantage of that. The Blue Jays offense teed off on the Orioles over the weekend, and there should be no shortage of scoring in this game. Back the over.

Play: Over

San Diego Padres at San Francisco Giants

There have been no starting pitchers announced for this game. 

Houston Astros -185 at Texas Rangers +165 Total: 9

There will be no shortage of scoring in this game. Spencer Howard has been awful this season for the Rangers sitting with an ERA of 6.21. Jake Odorizzi has been pitching better as of late, but he still gives up a couple of runs each game. The Astros are going to most of the scoring in this game, but a couple of runs by the Rangers will push this game over. 

Play: Over

Arizona Diamondbacks +220 at Los Angeles Dodgers -270 Total: 8.5

I like the value with the Arizona Diamondbacks at +220. Clayton Kershaw didn’t look as dominant in his last start, and the Diamondbacks can find some offensive success against him, Zac Gallen has given up three runs or less in each of his last three starts. Back the DBacks to pull the upset.

Play: Diamondbacks ML +220

Boston Red Sox at Seattle Mariners 

The Seattle Mariners are going to get the job done in this game. Eduardo Rodriguez has been awful this year for the Red Sox, and in his last start he went 3.2 innings giving up six runs. The Red Sox are going to not give Rodriguez to run support, and the Mariners will win this game.

Play: Mariners ML
