Sports Betting 101: How to use Dimers Quick Picks
Today's MLB best bets and odds are proudly brought to you by PointsBet Sportsbook.
Blue Jays vs. Nationals
BET: Total runs OVER 9.5 with PointsBet (-105)
📈 51.6% probability
Toronto is the league's best offense in terms of production with 5.39 runs per game this season and they've got a favorable matchup against a lousy defense and a leaky pitcher when they meet Washington for the first of a quick two-game midweek series. Erick Fedde is sitting on a 5.12 ERA so far this year and he's giving up 9.16 hits per nine innings pitched. There are going to a lot of opportunities for Vladdy Jr and the Blue Jays to let it rip.

Brewers vs. Cardinals
BET: Cardinals at the run line with PointsBet (-130)
📈 57.1% probability
The Cards are red hot, rolling along on a six-game winning streak dating back to last week. Their opposition will be a little more tougher tonight as they meet the Brewers, but they've got an ace in Adam Wainwright who is feeling good after a 2-hit, no run outing against the Pirates. They're a legitimate chance to win at the moneyline but we're taking the insurance of the run line just in case.
DIMERS' BET HUB: Milwaukee Brewers vs. St Louis Cardinals betting predictions and picks
Indians vs. Twins
BET: Total runs OVER 9.5 with PointsBet (-110)
📈 51% probability
Starting Indians pitcher Eli Morgan is having a tough year with an ERA of 6.52 and is coming off a miserable outing last week against the A's where he gave up five runs in four innings in a 17-0 loss. On Minnesota's end, they're not instilling too much hope for under bettors either with SP Bailey Ober sporting an 8-4 Over/Under record this year. Expect some runs in the early innings here.
