The latest addition to Dimers' MLB betting tools continues to deliver, identifying positive season-long ROI in every market that's turned a profit so far this baseball season, from pitching and hitting props to game line markets such as totals and run lines.

Between both player props and game lines, the recently launched MLB Sweet Spot signal is designed to show you precisely which markets are returning a profit alongside daily updates based on previous results, unlocking a whole new level of sportsbetting with one purpose: to help you bet smarter and beat the sportsbooks.

Another addition to our already improved MLB props model for the 2026 season, Dimers Pro users now have yet another advantage when it comes to betting on baseball.


Today's best MLB odds - Wednesday, May 6

There are over 40 total MLB player props and best MLB bets identified by Dimers Pro today.

These props and bets span more than 10 individual betting markets, including batter, pitcher outs, moneylines and more, with 7 of them currently returning a positive season-long ROI, ranging from 6.0% ROI to over 50% ROI depending on the market.

Over a dozen bets across these markets appear for Dimers Pros today, and we're breaking down each successful market below to show you precisely where the Dimers model is the most dialed in, broken down into three categories: MLB game lines, pitcher props and hitter props.

MLB betting: Game lines

There are three game line markets for MLB betting on Dimers, and we are seeing an early positive return in all three of them when our bets land in the "Sweet Spot" edge range.

MLB Totals are returning a 6.0% ROI over our largest sample size of 180 bets with a 5-7% edge. Though it's been just over a month, this is the definition of slow and steady, long-term straight betting profitability. If you see a Dimers Pro bet on an MLB over or under between a 5 and 7% edge, you know it's a consistent spot for the Dimers model. Early predictions on Wednesday signal a Sweet Spot total in one of tonight's late games.

MLB Run Lines have been another profitable spot for the Dimers model early on. In a sample size of 42 bets, both on underdogs and favorites, we're seeing a positive return of 20.1% ROI through the first six weeks of the season, covering an edge range of 2% through 5%. The minimum threshold for a "best bet" to appear on Dimers is a 2% edge, so this signals that it doesn't take a big edge to return a profit.

Four games feature a run line edge on Wednesday, including Rangers vs. Yankees and Royals vs. Guardians in the night slate.

MLB Moneylines are seeing the biggest ROI of all Sweet Spots, thanks to hitting a number of underdogs at favorable plus money odds, but we've seen a mix of both favorites and upsets contribute to a big 50.2% ROI across 41 early moneyline picks. Many of these bets correlate with an edge on the same to cover the run line, so you'll often see multiple Sweet Spot picks on the same team, something you'll find in multiple games today, including Rangers vs. Yankees.

MLB Pitcher Props

We have predictions for five pitcher prop markets on Dimers - hits allowed, earned runs allowed, walks allowed, outs recorded and strikeouts thrown - with two of these featuring Sweet Spots in Dimers Pro on Wednesday.

Outs recorded features our largest sample size, a total of 112 bets with at least a 5% edge so far this season, returning a respectable 9.4% ROI. These props span both overs and unders, with our MLB pitcher projections providing additional insight around precisely how our model projects a pitcher to perform.

Several starters get an edge in this market today, including Paul Skenes when the Pirates visit the D-Backs, Bryan Woo when the Mariners host the Braves and six other pitchers early on.

Hits allowed is another positive prop so far this season, returning a larger profit of 20.9% over a smaller sample size of 32 bets, though these include lower edges as well, with props just meeting the 2% edge qualifying. Two pitchers get an edge in this market today, with our highest probability and best value in Twins vs. Nationals.

MLB Hitter Props

We offer data on five markets with our MLB hitter projections on Dimers Pro - hits, RBI, home runs, stolen bases and total bases, with two markets for batters returning positive ROI this season appearing for Wednesday's slate.

To get a hit props are up to a solid 8.2% ROI across 42 bets with at least a 5% edge this season. Hit props often come with a good bit of juice; finding a prop with odds longer than -150 or so in this market is no easy task, but the Dimers model makes that easy, and a positive season-long ROI shows that no matter the odds, the data is pointing to a profitable spot. The Dimers model loves a trio of batters in the Angels vs. White Sox matchup.

RBI props are our best market for batter props early on this season, returning a substantial 32.2% ROI, our second-highest of any MLB Sweet Spot market, over 48 bets this season, a solid sample size. These bets almost always range from odds of +225 to +300 or even longer, meaning a hit rate of just 1 out of every 3 would be enough to return a small profit, with our model currently exceeding that number substantially early on.

You can find a pair of RBI props in our Sweet Spots, both at +300 odds or longer, including one player who will also face a pitcher who lands in his own Sweet Spot today.
