MLB Roundup: Sas Insider Stays Hot, Ross Walker & Kyle Buchman Go Perfect on Profitable Day

While Carlos Rodón’s shutdown outing and Taylor Ward’s grand slam made headlines on the field, Thursday’s real power players might have been the experts tracking the action from behind the numbers. Sas Insider, Ross Walker, and Kyle Buchman each delivered outstanding performances—not on the mound or at the plate, but with precise, profitable picks that helped bettors cash in.

A total of 32 handicappers turned a profit, but Sas Insider stole the spotlight with a 6-1 MLB slate that included confident calls on Yankees/Rangers Under and wins on the Guardians and Phillies. With more than $500 in profit from Thursday’s action alone, Sas continues to lead the pack in consistent baseball betting success.

Right behind him, Ross Walker went a perfect 2-0, cashing an Astros moneyline play and a sharp totals angle, while Kyle Buchman delivered a flawless 2-0 card highlighted by a well-timed Blue Jays pick and total. All three cappers continue to climb the ranks, and you can track their records, streaks, and picks daily on our handicappers leaderboard.

Rodón Shines as Yankees Shut Out Rangers for 30th Win

Carlos Rodón extended his win streak to five games by tossing six scoreless innings as the New York Yankees edged the Texas Rangers 1-0 at Yankee Stadium. The performance marked Rodón’s sixth win of the season and made the Yankees the second team in the American League to hit the 30-win milestone.

Rodón (6-3) fanned eight and walked two before passing the ball to a trio of relievers—Mark Leiter Jr., Devin Williams, and Luke Weaver—who slammed the door to secure the win. The game’s only run came in the fifth on a solo homer from rookie Jorbit Vivas, his first in the majors. The Rangers managed just four hits, including a double by Sam Haggerty, while Aaron Judge went 0-for-3 with a walk and Cody Bellinger saw his 15-game hitting streak end.

This matchup also highlighted the value of understanding betting totals. The 1-0 result was a clear win for those who locked in the Under—one of Sas Insider’s standout picks of the day.

Nationals Walk Off Braves in 10-Inning Thriller, Extend Streak

Washington walked off the Braves 8-7 in the bottom of the 10th to complete a sweep of their brief two-game series. Amed Rosario drove in the winning run with a sharp single, helping the Nationals notch their fifth straight victory—their longest streak of the season.

The Nats’ offense was led by James Wood, who tallied two hits and three RBIs, while Keibert Ruiz added another pair of hits and drove in two. In his debut, Robert Hassell made an immediate impact with a 2-for-5 outing, scoring twice. Atlanta got three-hit nights from Matt Olson and Marcell Ozuna, who both homered, but it wasn’t enough to stop their recent slide—they’ve now dropped three of their last four.

Games like this one—high-scoring, back-and-forth, and stretching into extras—are prime examples of how game flow impacts betting. New and experienced bettors alike can sharpen their instincts by revisiting our MLB betting basics guide, which breaks down game types, pacing, and strategic timing.

Lukes’ RBI Single Lifts Blue Jays Over Padres in 11

Toronto edged out San Diego 7-6 in an extra-innings thriller at Rogers Centre, completing a three-game sweep and continuing their recent resurgence. After the Padres took a 6-5 lead in the top of the 11th on Gavin Sheets’ RBI single, Nathan Lukes delivered the decisive walk-off hit in the bottom half, driving in the game-winner and sending the home crowd into a frenzy.

Daulton Varsho helped set up the win with a game-tying RBI triple in the 11th, while Toronto reliever Braydon Fisher picked up the win by recording the final out. Gavin Sheets was the bright spot for San Diego with two homers, including a game-tying blast in the ninth. Despite the effort, the Padres dropped their sixth straight and continue to struggle late in games.

This high-drama contest was a perfect setup for bettors backing the Jays and the Under—just ask Kyle Buchman, who went 2-0 on this game alone. To stay sharp on late-inning volatility and underdog value, follow our real-time MLB odds and scores page and track where the smart money’s moving.

Phillies Complete Sweep of Rockies Behind Suárez’s Gem

In a series where offense often dominated headlines, Thursday’s finale was a pitcher’s showcase. Ranger Suárez (3-0) tossed 6 2/3 innings of shutout baseball, and the Philadelphia Phillies beat the Colorado Rockies 2-0 in Denver to complete a four-game sweep.

The Phillies managed only four hits, but made them count. Bryce Harper and Max Kepler hit back-to-back RBI doubles in the sixth, accounting for all the offense they’d need. German Marquez pitched well for Colorado, giving up just one earned run over seven innings, but received no support as the Rockies dropped their fifth straight.

Al Grant read this one perfectly, hitting on both the Phillies -1.5 and the Over in another game. Understanding how to play run lines is a key part of winning consistently—especially when elite pitchers are involved. For a detailed breakdown, check out our MLB run line betting guide.

Ward’s Grand Slam Fuels Angels’ Comeback, Sweeps A’s

The Angels stayed red hot, winning their seventh straight with a wild 9-6 comeback over the Oakland A’s in West Sacramento. Taylor Ward hit a game-changing grand slam in the seventh inning, and Logan O’Hoppe followed up with a solo homer to seal the rally. The win completed a four-game sweep and buried the A’s deeper in their slump with their ninth consecutive loss.

Ward finished 3-for-4 with five RBIs and now has an eight-game hitting streak. Zach Neto also had three hits and two runs scored. Brent Rooker nearly hit for the cycle for Oakland, homering as part of a 3-for-4 night. But the bullpen couldn’t hold the lead, and Grant Holman (4-1) was tagged with the loss.

Altuve’s Multi-Homer Game Powers Astros Past Mariners

Jose Altuve provided the fireworks for Houston in a 9-2 rout of the Seattle Mariners. The veteran second baseman blasted two home runs—his 12th career multi-homer game—highlighting a balanced offensive attack that gave Houston a comfortable series-opening win.

Lance McCullers Jr. pitched into the fifth, allowing two runs before the bullpen took over to blank Seattle the rest of the way. Mariners righty George Kirby made his season debut after a two-month injury absence but gave up five runs in just 3 2/3 innings. Dylan Moore went deep for Seattle, but it wasn’t enough to spark a comeback.

For those backing Houston, this game was a clean hit—especially for Ross Walker, who had the Astros ML and a totals angle locked in early. To improve your edge on key moneyline picks like this, review our MLB moneyline betting guide, which breaks down value spotting and price sensitivity.

Yelich’s Two Homers Lead Brewers to Series-Opening Win Over Pirates

Christian Yelich continued his hot streak, launching two home runs and driving in four runs as the Brewers took the opener of their four-game set with Pittsburgh, 8-5. His three-run shot in the first set the tone, and his solo blast in the sixth extended Milwaukee’s lead.

Aaron Civale returned from injury and threw four serviceable innings for Milwaukee, while Pirates rookie Mike Burrows (0-1) struggled in his MLB debut. Spencer Horwitz homered and had two hits for Pittsburgh. The game was delayed nearly two hours due to weather in the sixth inning.
