Free MLB Picks for Saturday April 16, 2022

Diamondbacks vs. Mets, 1:10PM ET

If you read Dimers regularly, you already know: when Carlos Carrasco pitches for the Mets, we auto-fade him in the early innings. Carrasco had an ERA above 13 in first innings last season over the course of 12 starts, and he picked up exactly where he left off with his first start of 2022 last week against the Nationals, giving up a homer. The Mets are definitely stronger than the Diamondbacks overall, but there is something mental going on with Carrasco right now at the start of games, and you'd be crazy not to keep capitalizing.

BET: Diamondbacks first inning ML (+350)

Do you think Carrasco is a sitting duck early in the game? Then this might be the PERFECT game to use the BetMGM Bet $10, Win $200 if there's a HR promo on. Click ➡️ here ⬅️ to get it!

Braves vs. Padres, 4:05PM ET

The Braves have had an opening week they'd rather forget, but our data model is all over them today to recapture some of their championship form against the Padres in San Diego. For Atlanta, Ian Anderson will be back on the mound after giving up 5 runs in just 2 innings against the Reds last week, but for a man of his class who recorded a 9-5 record last year, he should be able to steady the ship.

BET: Braves moneyline (-104)

Tigers vs. Royals, 4:10PM ET

If opening week starts get any worse than that of Kansas City's Kris Bubic, we haven't seen it. The Royals ace didn't even last an inning in his first start for the year, giving up 5 runs to the Guardians who eventually went on to win 17-3. Despite the fact that KC go into this game as the favorite with the 'books, our data predictor thinks that Bubic might prove to be another headache for Royals manager Mike Matheny. We've got the Tigers taking this dub.

BET: Tigers moneyline (+102)
