3 Best Bets For MLB Return Friday Night: Game Lines, Props
  • A 12-run total between the Reds and Rockies has -115 odds to go over considering Brady Singer’s struggles on the road.
  • The Tigers are a sharp bet on the moneyline (-112) in a favorable pitching matchup against the Angels.
  • Back Bryce Miller over 5.5 strikeouts (-145) and the Mariners to beat the Giants at -198 odds.

DENVERBaseball is back and one of the most exciting bets from Friday night’s slate is the over between the Cincinnati Reds and Colorado Rockies at Coors Field. There are -115 legal sports betting favoring a 12.0-run total to go over.

Reds vs Rockies Betting Lines

TeamRunlineMoneylineTotal
Cincinnati Reds+1.5 (-195)-105O12.0 (-115)
Colorado Rockies-1.5 (+165)-115U12.0 (-105)

Reds’ starter Brady Singer is the key for the over in this one, as he struggles far worse on the road than at home. Singer’s allowed 4+ runs in six of his last eight road starts, while allowing no more than three runs in any start at home this season. He’s 0-5 with a 6.75 ERA on the road compared to 3-4 with a 2.98 ERA at home.

The Rockies team total sits at 5.5 runs with -125 odds favoring the over. There are also -150 odds favoring the under on Singer’s 4.5-strikeout projection, so expect the Rockies to get on the board early against Singer.

Another pitcher-focused lean considers the Detroit Tigers moneyline (-112) against the Los Angeles Angels. Troy Melton (5-1, 1.82 ERA) takes the mound for Detroit against Reid Detmers (3-6, 4.39 ERA) for LA.

Tigers vs Angels Betting Lines

TeamRunlineMoneylineTotal
Detroit Tigers-1.5 (+150)-112O8.5 (-105)
Los Angeles Angels+1.5 (-175)-108U8.5 (-115)

The Tigers’ -112 price at MLB betting sites almost feels too good to be true with the better pitcher and better lineup against Angels squad with the worst record in the league. Detroit went into the All-Star break winning 9 of their last 12, so they get good value to pick up where they left off on Friday night.

Back Bryce Miller, Mariners Vs Giants In MLB Night Cap

Betting odds for the last MLB game of the evening favor the Seattle Mariners (-198) against the San Francisco Giants. With Bryce Miller on the mound, Washington sportsbooks are confident in the Mariners and offer the lowest run total of the entire slate at 7.0 runs.

Giants vs Mariners Betting Lines

TeamRunlineMoneylineTotal
San Francisco Giants+1.5 (-145)+163O7.0 (-125)
Seattle Mariners-1.5 (+125)-198U7.0 (+105)

Bryce Miller has -145 odds to go over his 5.5 strikeout projection. The Giants strikeout the fifth-least in MLB, but Miller has had at least six strikeouts in six of his last seven starts.
