Angels 6, Dodgers 5 — O’Hoppe caps historic Freeway sweep
Down a run in the eighth with the bases loaded, Logan O’Hoppe smoked a 103.2 mph liner to center for a two-run single that sealed the Angels’ first ever 6–0 season sweep of the Dodgers. The Halos worked two walks to set the table before O’Hoppe flipped the game against a fresh reliever, while the Dodgers’ fourth straight loss also nudged them out of first in the NL West for the first time since April. Late leverage like this is where moneyline strategy and bullpen projections really pay off.
Tigers 1, White Sox 0 — Melton and friends author a two-hit shutout
Rookie Troy Melton and three relievers navigated a tightrope two-hitter, and Wenceel Pérez’s sac fly stood up as the only run. Chicago’s Shane Smith matched zeros for five but Detroit squeezed maximum value from minimal traffic, a classic blueprint for low-total, pitcher-driven games. Before you bet the slim margins, revisit MLB betting basics.
Brewers 12, Pirates 5 — Twelve straight and counting in Milwaukee
William Contreras (4 RBIs) and Christian Yelich (3 RBIs) powered a 17-hit barrage as Milwaukee won its 12th in a row and 27th of 31. Brandon Woodruff covered four innings before the offense buried Pittsburgh despite Bryan Reynolds’ two homers. When a streaking favorite is priced heavy, consider the run line over a juiced moneyline.
Braves 11, Mets 6 — Grand slam caps a nine-run fourth
Down 6–0 after two, Atlanta detonated a nine-run fourth, punctuated by Michael Harris II’s grand slam. Jurickson Profar’s three-run double and Marcell Ozuna’s long ball completed a relentless middle-innings avalanche, flipping a game that looked decided early. For live bettors, stay flexible and apply these baseball betting tips.
Diamondbacks 6, Rangers 4 — Marte goes ninth-inning hero again
Ketel Marte crushed a two-out, three-run homer in the ninth—his second straight game with a late go-ahead shot—to steal a series win in Arlington. He finished 4-for-5 with four RBIs, answering a Texas pen that had been sturdy most of the week. Late volatility like this is why sizing and timing matter; refresh with how to bet on baseball.
Nationals 8, Royals 7 — Lile’s ninth-inning dagger avoids the sweep
Daylen Lile ripped a go-ahead single in the ninth after a back-and-forth afternoon that featured a Nathaniel Lowe grand slam for Washington and a Vinnie Pasquantino three-run blast for KC. Both starters exited after four in a bullpen chess match. For coin-flip finales, lean on pen depth angles from MLB betting basics.
Rockies 6, Cardinals 5 — Goodman’s pinch-hit blast flips it in the ninth
Hunter Goodman came off the bench and crushed a two-run, pinch-hit homer in the ninth to stun St. Louis. Colorado also got big swings from Braxton Fulford and Mickey Moniak, while the Cards’ Alec Burleson and Lars Nootbaar homered in a game that wouldn’t settle. Spotting tired bullpens late can create edges—see moneyline tips & trends.
Padres 11, Giants 1 — Seven-run second buries San Francisco
San Diego sent six straight to reach in a seven-run second, with Jake Cronenworth and Fernando Tatis Jr. delivering two-run singles. Nick Pivetta cruised into the seventh for his 12th win as the Padres completed a road sweep. Blowout profiles often suit the run line—especially when a hot lineup faces a volatile opener/rookie.
Twins 4, Yankees 1 — Ryan strong; Clemens cracks it open
After a long weather delay, Joe Ryan shoved for 6 2/3 innings of one-run ball and Kody Clemens ripped a two-run double to headline a three-run sixth that snapped Minnesota’s nine-game skid vs. New York. Reading travel, delays, and fatigue can help frame totals and sides—start with baseball betting basics.
Orioles 4, Mariners 3 — Holliday walks it off after Seattle’s late surge
Seattle erased a two-run deficit in the ninth, only for Jackson Holliday to answer with a two-out, walk-off double. Ryan Mountcastle’s homer and Jeremiah Jackson’s pinch-triple fueled Baltimore’s earlier push; Keegan Akin vultured the win after a blown save. High-leverage endings reward disciplined staking—see these betting tips & strategies.
Marlins 13, Guardians 4 — Marsee mashes seven RBIs in breakout
Rookie Jakob Marsee went 4-for-5 with two homers and a franchise-tying seven RBIs, while Eury Pérez fanned eight over five as Miami routed a Cleveland club that had been 10–3 since July 29. When a call-up’s batted-ball data pops, adjust quickly; it’s a great case study for how to bet on baseball.
Cubs 4, Blue Jays 1 — Horton’s K-best night, Busch & Shaw go deep
Cade Horton punched out a career-high eight and allowed one hit across 5 2/3, while Michael Busch and Matt Shaw homered to pace Chicago. The Cubs split the first two in Toronto, leveraging clean defense and early thump. For short-price road spots, revisit moneyline strategy.
Reds 8, Phillies 0 — Greene returns with six scoreless; Andújar slams
Back from a groin strain, Hunter Greene carved six shutout innings with six Ks and no walks, and Miguel Andújar blew it open with a seventh-inning grand slam. It was just the second loss in 11 starts for Cristopher Sánchez since early June. Injury-return baselines are tricky—anchor them with MLB betting basics.
Astros 4, Red Sox 1 — Brown snaps skid; Díaz drives in three
Hunter Brown logged 6 2/3 strong to end a six-start winless run, and Yainer Díaz supplied a two-run blast plus an RBI single. Boston’s Walker Buehler went six but yielded four, and Houston closed the series with a tidy rubber-match win. Contender form heading toward October? Keep these playoff betting keys handy (and the broader MLB playoffs guide).
Rays 8, Athletics 2 — Lowe, Caminero stay hot; Rasmussen steady
Brandon Lowe and Junior Caminero each clubbed two-run homers and Drew Rasmussen spun six efficient frames as Tampa Bay took the set in West Sacramento. With J.T. Ginn chased after two innings, the Rays pounced early and never looked back. In mismatch spots like this, the run line often outperforms a steep favorite’s price.
